Can we build machines with which can have interesting conversations? Observing the new optimism of AI regarding deep learning and language models, set ourselves an ambitious goal: We want to find out how far get in creating a digital replica philosopher. This project has two aims; one more technical, investigating best model be built. The other one, philosophical, exploring limitations risks ac...

background: this study was to estimate the frequency of prehypertension and to characterize patient awareness and associated cardiovascular risk factors in an urban population in iran. methods: during a hypertensive awareness program, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 2036 people. all participants completed a questionnaire about their demographic and anthropometric indices and were asked...

Eighty percent of DNA outside protein coding regions was shown biochemically functional by the ENCODE project, enabling studies of their interactions. Studies have since explored how convergent downstream mechanisms arise from independent genetic risks of one complex disease. However, the cross-talk and epistasis between intergenic risks associated with distinct complex diseases have not been c...

in a complex and volatile environment of the supply chain, any attempt to reduce the risks may increase or decrease other risks; thus, achieving an overall picture of the risks of supply chain and relationships between them are necessary and will lead to more effective and comprehensive strategy to response to risks. the purpose of this paper is identifying and extracting the potential risks of...

the adsorption of a number of amino acids on a defected single-walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) isinvestigated by using the density-functional theory (dft) calculations. the adsorption energies andequilibrium distances are calculated for various configurations such as amino acid attaching to defectsites heptagon, pentagon and hexagon in defective tube and also for several molecular orientationswi...
