Sensation usually refers to the immediate, relatively unprocessed result of stimulation of sensory receptors in the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin. Perception, on the other hand, better describes one's ultimate experience of the world and typically involves further processing of sensory input. In practice, sensation and perception are virtually i...

Even in loop shapes like in Fig. 7. a, still robot can find the opening at point C due to the fuzzy logic target seeking and obstacle avoidance behaviors. The algorithm shows its major weakness when it fails to reach the goal in such a concave and recursive U-shape environment shown in Fig. 7. b. This is because the robot encounters another local minimum at the location B an...

Rate Of Reaction Hydrogen Bonding
2,165 wordsRESEARCH I know that Rennin is an enzyme, so before conducting this experiment I am first going to do some research into enzymes and their effects. 1. Enzymes Enzymes are large globular molecules of which the vast majority are protein in nature, though some, known as 'ribozyme's' are made of RNA. Enzymes have catalytic properties; in other words, they alter the rate of reaction without themselves undergoing a permanent change. Most chemical reactions require an initial input of energy, called ac...

Three Phases Law States
528 wordsSolids, liquids, and gases are the three main, or fundamental phases of matter. Each one has a different density and a different level of stability. What determines the stability of each phase is the bond between its atoms. The tighter the bond between its atoms the more stable that phase of matter is. Solids are the most stable form of matter, followed by liquids, and then gases. Solids have a definite shape and do not take the shape of their container. Liquids do not have any definite shape an...
