Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most fascinating and unusual areas of academic study to have emerged this century, with its ultimate goal as the complete understanding and replication of human cognition, perception, and behavior. This daring and challenging objective has given rise to controversial opinions about the field. For some, AI is a true scientific discipline, that has made important and funda- mental contributions to the use of computation for our understanding of the nature and phenomena of the human mind. For others, Al is the black art of computer science.

Education is a key to effective development for which the school experiences lays foundation for different learning styles that gives way to open the creative minds for research. Higher education plays an important role in this. Many renowned universities and Higher Educational Institutions like IITs, IIMs and IISc have their own importance in promoting higher education. Unfortunately due to various reasons, the system fails to attract the young scientists to make the country as a global power in education.

The present study was conducted by keeping a concept in mind that dairy development is not feasible unless dairy farm women are trained in scientific dairy farming. The present study was conducted in KVK operational area of Rajkot district with 80 dairying farm women purposively selected who were intensively carried out agriculture and dairying activities. The study inferred that overall distribution of dairy farmwomen according to training need, 56.25 per cent had medium training need followed by high training need.

The initial stage of knowledge-telling consists of creating or retrieving what the author wants to say and then generating a text to say it. The author is not entirely egocentric in knowledge-telling and can begin to take into account the reader's needs. Specifically, by the time children are beginning to write they realize that another person's thoughts about the world may differ from their own. By about the age of 4, children have acquired a theory of mind that allows them to take another's perspective (Wellman, 1990; Wellman, Cross, & Watson, 2001).

No one industry alone can provide the basis for major gains in renewable resource chemical use. Although exciting research opportunities exist in areas such as biopolymers, stereospecific molecules, new enzymes, novel materials, and transgenic design, progress in isolated technical areas will not be sufficient. We must take a broad view of future consumer needs and emphasize inter- related research projects conducted in a parallel and coordinated manner.

If a q.a. system tries to transform an English question directly into the simplest possible formulation of the corresponding data base query, discrepancies between the English lexicon and the structure of the data base cannot be handled well. To be able to deal with such discrepancies in a systematic way, the PHLIQAI system distinguishes different levels of semantic representation; it contains modules which translate from one level to another, as well as a module which simplifies expressions within one level.

Every careful student of history is aware that it is no longer possible to write the general history of any important country from the original sources; on any period, the materials which accumulate in a year are more than can be assimilated by one mind in three years. The general historian must use the results of others' work. It is therefore essential that the great phases of political and constitutional development be treated in monographs, each devoted to a single, limited subject and each prepared on a careful and scientific method.

Two distinct notions of closure, and relatedly, of unity, might be invoked in aesthetic contexts. The weak notion of closure is that of boundedness: an entity with clear limits separating it from other entities is, in this sense, closed. This sense of closure comes to mind when Dewey mentions, of mere experience, that its elements ‘are neither definitely included nor decisively excluded’ (p. 40).

As the workshop summarized in this volume demonstrated, the research base about learning in early childhood is expanding and has great potential to contrib- ute to a broader set of national policy goals focused on making sure that all children enter kindergarten ready to learn. With this important research base in mind, the National Research Council’s Center for Education (CFE) convened a workshop to focus on early learning in mathematics and science.

The discovery of novel biologically active peptides has led to an explosion in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the regula-tion of sleep and wakefulness. Urotensin II (UII), a peptide originally isolated from fish and known for its strong cardiovascular effects in mammals, is another surprising candidate in the regulatory network of sleep.

Scientific perception of nature relies on a process of transforming data to information, and then information into understanding. Data consist of observations and measurements and information is data organized according to some ontology, i.e. some set of assumptions about what entities exist and how they should be classified. Understanding is a model in the investigator’s mind that describes how the entities relate to each other, a model created in the investigator’s mind as a result of thinking.
