ALPHA-BETA CLASSIFIER
Background
Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuously becoming an integral part of what we do nowadays, from the suggestions of the YouTube videos we ought to watch, to the algorithms running our high frequency trading in the Wall Street. Indeed Google algorithms know what we prefer, better than what we want. That was according to the Twitter CEO and founder — Jack Dorsey. This would not be mentioned if it were not for pattern recognition and classification, which are the main underlying principles of AI.
Although the two principles have been undertaken for centuries purely through conventional statistical inference and mathematics, it took us (as a civilization) a while to recognize these processes were not good enough, rather they can be incredibly difficult to solve, if not clumsy and time consuming to say the least. Artificial neural networks forms the core of AI, as they are the main entities that have been used to successfully mimic unnecessarily voluntary, but evidently the right decisions nevertheless in many instances. Here we are referring to autonomous or self-driving cars, speech and facial recognition, objects tracking, and even humanoid robots. …
The kinetics of airborne transmission — the mean free path
Until the outbreak of coronavirus disease, now abbreviated COVID-19, we had only known so much about tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox and various types of influenza viruses, which all happen to be airborne. To mean they are a group of highly contagious microorganisms transmitted through the air we breath. These infections arise when organisms are allowed to enter through to the upper and lower respiratory system namely: the nose, throat, and into the lungs in extreme cases¹. …

Environment setup
You will need the ability to run nodejs and the latest bash on your desktop to completely follow along this tutorial. As such, if you are on a Windows machine you will want to get gitbash or an equivalent environment that will enable you to execute bash. You also have an option to activate Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). If you are on Linux or Mac, it is most likely that you are used to running bash scripts and your system is well set for that. Otherwise make sure that you have the latest bash — especially Mac users. With that, let’s dive deep to FCSS. …
A pedagogical aspect that needs to be introduced earlier in physics classrooms
It has always been known that there is an elegant relationship between matter and waves, albeit in elementary particles. This was proposed way back in 1924 by Louis de Broglie — a French physicist¹. The hypothesis was not well-received then, and even to date unfortunately it is still a subject that is mainly introduced much later in physics education. Many previous attempts to extend these connections to classical mechanics, let a lone general relativistic studies have failed miserably. The vice versa has also been the case, when transiting from studies of objects of larger extent to that of the minute — the quantum mechanics. That is to imply, we cannot look at a kilogram mass and tell straight away what it’s wave equivalent properties are. …
Anatomy and SEO descriptors
Blogging in 2020 just can’t get better. The reading culture of the world’s population is slowly mutating from hard cover books to a global village of e-book and blog lovers. Mobile gadget ownership is skyrocketing every year, and you would notice if you checked the rate of up-take in most emerging market economies. Of course a section of mobile gadget owners concentrate on vlogging, besides conventional texting and calling. For those that read, ask yourself, what do people really want online? Well, obviously e-books, politics, celebrity gossips, academic journals, and what have you. But here is something else readers really need, rather than want — what they can find. That’s right. …
What it is and how to apply in your day-to-day business, entrepreneurial, and technical analysis to make crucial decisions
We say a school of fish, a pack of coyotes, a covert of coots, a library of books, a stack of hay, a flight of steps, a business of ferrets, and you can list the rest. In a similar way, we say “a design of experiments” even though we are used to “a set of experiments”.
Design of experiments (DOX or DOE), also known as experimental design is a methodology in the greater discipline of statistics, aiming at describing variation of condition(s) under many different influences of factors AT AGO.
Design Of Experiments (DOE) presents an intuitive way of assessing the influence of several factors at ago, rather than one factor at a time (OFAT) as it is still done traditionally by many practitioners. …
Properties of the graviton to be
We have always wondered how particle physicists are able to predict the properties of a particle even way before its detection is imminent. In deed about half a century ago, Peter Higgs, a British theoretical physicist and now a renowned Nobel Laureate will be forever remembered for his advance knowledge of a particle that previously never exist in our physics textbooks. The prediction of Higgs and his colleagues was confirmed in the early morning of July 4th 2012 by CERN laboratory of particle physics (Fig. 1).
A year later, the outgoing confirmation would earn the team a Nobel prize in physics for conceiving what we now understand as the Higgs Boson. The press described this achievement as an astonishing triumph of the power of mathematics¹. This essay is meant to give a generic introduction on why such achievements are possible, as we intend to follow through with an example of the graviton — a fundamental particle yet to be detected. …
Electrogravitostatics
Electromagnetism as compared to gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) was formulated by the proponents through painstaking observations on the behavior of real objects, i.e. magnets and inductors in their respective electric and magnetic fields. A similar observation on a gravitational field, while it would seemingly be easy, is on the contrary counterintuitive, especially when the supposed objects possesses both particle and wave-like properties of significantly foreign aspects. As a result, researchers have mainly focused on theorizing the similarity between electromagnetism and gravity in order to study the gravitational field¹²³⁴.
Today Electrogravitostatics — a terminology to explain the relationship between all the three aspects, is a gray area even though a lot of research is currently on focus. Instead of heading directly to the complex equations of electromagnetism, in this essay we will first explain gravitational potential energy as a somehow clear case that binds the three components together. …
They say no matter how good a dancer you are, you must know when to leave the dance floor. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem like a pleasant thing to say to a piece of scientific law that has diligently served it’s purpose for nearly half a millennium.
Newton’s gravitational constant (denoted G), has been instrumental throughout the development of the earlier laws of physics, up until the currently accepted form of general relativity. However, recent research advises on the merits of finding alternative theories that fully accounts for gravitation activities in the quantum level. The focus of this essay, is on the problems encountered upon continued use of the constant in its current form. …
The one thing that is not covered in physics curriculum concerns the wave properties of matter. This is probably the second greatest mistake in the history of physics described by Ethan Siegel. In this article we will describe a world where there is nothing and everything at the same time. A world that really exist and the laws of physics are totally different. Simply put, Newtonian physics no longer apply in that world.
If you are still wondering what wave properties of matter are, let’s conduct a thought experiment. Pick up a stone, raise it to the height of your eyesight, drop it. Easy, right? Newton’s Laws suggests that the speed and instantaneous height as functions of time can be calculated. What it doesn’t say, is that they are also sources of radio frequencies that can be heard by tuning to a certain range of frequencies more like we do for radio channels. That is when everything is understood as a wave of some kind.
It is amazing right? You know what else is ecstatic? the thought that there is another whole world out there. In that world, instead of calculating just the speed and instantaneous trajectory of the objects, you also have an opportunity to see and hear the object as a wave. To assess the properties of the object, but this time as a wave. In that world, you see the whole object, except that it is not what it is. It’s a jelly-like substance with amazing properties. It’s an invisible smoke but unlike smoke, you can actually hold it, and you can drop it. You can do exactly what you did at the beginning of this article, but with that jelly-like substance. …
