RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music.

""We wondered how individuals assess the credibility of other people in simple social interactions," said Read Montague, director of the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory and the Computational Psychiatry Unit at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, who led the study. "We found a strong correlation between the amygdala and a baseline level of distrust, which may be based on a person's beliefs about the trustworthiness of other people in general, his or her emotional state, and the situation at hand"

The INDECT Project aims at developing tools for enhancing the security of citizens and protecting the confidentiality of recorded and stored information as well as the privacy of involved persons. INDECT targets threat detection in both real environments (intelligent cameras) and virtual environments (computer networks, especially Internet).

Our passion for developing e-learning material for the automotive sector allows us to realize the full potential of what computers and the Internet can achieve. The Electude team is driven by a vision that we must fundamentally change the way people acquire and retain knowledge and skills - by making it fun, effective and efficient.

Service-Component Ensemble Language (SCEL), developed as a multi-layer language for self-aware, autonomic service components (SCs) and service-component ensembles (SCEs) that integrates behavioural description with knowledge representation and reasoning about the environment.

The Tetherless World Constellation (TWC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) explores the research and engineering principles that underlie the Web, to enhance the Web's reach beyond the desktop and laptop computer, and develops new technologies and languages that expand the capabilities of the Web under three themes: Future Web, Xinformatics and Semantic Foundations.

"Um das Gedächtnis auf Trab zu halten, lösen gerade ältere Menschen oft Kreuzworträtsel oder Sudokus. Das ist laut der neuen Studie von Dewar und ihren Kollegen nicht die Ideallösung, zumindest nicht, wenn direkt nach dem Erlernen der Neuigkeit gespielt wird. Einfach einmal zehn Minuten hinsetzen und nichts tun ist besser - denn dann hat das Gehirn Zeit und Ruhe, sich das neu Erlernte einzuprägen. Das Team von der University of Edinburgh hat dazu zwei Studien durchgeführt. In der ersten erzählten die Wissenschaftler älteren Menschen zwischen 61 und 87 Jahren zwei Kurzgeschichten. Danach durfte eine Gruppe zehn Minuten in einem dunklen Raum pausieren, während die andere ein „Finde den Unterschied"-Spiel am Computer spielte. Anschließend sollten die Probanden die Geschichte möglichst detailgetreu nacherzählen. Nach einer Woche forderten die Forscher sie erneut dazu auf."

Science has fully entered a new mode of operation. E-science, defined as a combination of science, informatics, computer science, cyberinfrastructure and information technology is changing the way all of these disciplines do both their individual and collaborative work.

"The old phrase "united we stand, divided we fall" applies equally well to the mechanisms of attention as it does to a patriotic cause. When devoted to a single task, the brain excels; when several goals splinter its focus, errors become unavoidable... non-stop decision making "

Tabula will be platform and content agnostic, working with as many brands and versions of tablet computers as possible. Of course, compatibility takes coding hours, so we'll start with one or two platforms and build from there. But let's just say we fully recognize the value of high-end and lower-cost hardware when it comes to solutions to help schools thrive.

Our wide range of courses allows students to explore topics from many different fields of study. Sign up for a class today and join our global community of students and scholars!

Ai Research is a leading artificial intelligence research project. At Ai, we're creating a new form of life. Our expanding web site is an essential part of the emerging global discussion about artificial intelligence. On this website, we showcase the state of the art in pattern-matching conversational machines, demonstrated by Alan, and in reinforcement learning algorithms, demonstrated by HAL. Use our forums, original papers, online labs, demos and links to explore what's happening both at Ai (the project) and in AI (the field).

"We build and investigate software systems for parallel and distributed environments. We have conducted research in operating systems, networking, mobile computing, language design, compiler design, and architecture, taking a pragmatic approach: we build high-performance, reliable, and working systems."

"SCinet is a high-performance network that is built, once a year, in support of the annual International Conference for High Performance Computing and Communications also known as the Supercomputing Conference. It is the primary network for the conference and is used by attendees to demonstrate and test high-performance distributed applications."
