People have different ways of coping with stress, and some turn to cigarettes. It sounds as though you already know that smoking may not be the best way for you to deal with stress. However, as you also pointed out, quitting may continue to be a challenge. Keep in mind though, quitting doesn?t necessarily mean a one-time event; it may be a gradual process that involves a lot of commitment throu...

It?s time to hash out the differences in technologies used to smoke marijuana (cannabis, pot, weed). The short answer to your question is that it?s uncertain if vaporizers definitively create a high with overall fewer health risks, as research on marijuana is limited due to its classification as a Schedule I drug [2]. Yet, many people argue that ?vaping? poses fewer health risks than other mode...

Copy right Idea Grou p Inc . Copy right Idea Grou p Inc . Many organizations are taking advantage of World Wide Web market opportunities through the development of electronic commerce (E-Commerce) web sites. The implementation of an E-Commerce web site, however, doesn’t guarantee marketing and financial success. In fact, it could adversely impact the organization when the site is viewed as cons...

This paper introduces an Advanced Artificial Potential Field (AAPF) controller which is used to control the robot's motion in cluttered environments. The proposed approach gives less computation and increases the reaction speed of the robot at obstacle avoidance situations. The increasing of robot's reaction speed doesn't affect on the smoothness of its path due to the use of Gen...

We can learn much about perceptual experience by thinking about how it can mislead us. In this paper, I explore whether, and how, olfactory experience can mislead. I argue that, in the case of olfactory experience, the traditional distinction between illusion and hallucination does not apply. Integral to the traditional distinction is a notion of ‘object-failure’—the failure of an experience to...

The Mind Doesn’t Work That Way is an expose of certain theoretical problems in cognitive science, and in particular, problems that concern the Classical Computational Theory of Mind (CTM). The problems that Fodor worries plague CTM divide into two kinds, and both purport to show that the success of cognitive science will likely be limited to the modules. The first sort of problem concerns what ...

The multimodal production and multisensory perception of speech have received much research attention in the past 60 years since Sumby and Pollack’s landmark demonstration that being able to see a talker’s face in noisy acoustic conditions dramatically improves speech intelligibility (Sumby and Pollack 1954). Myriad studies have pursued various conceptual lines about the production and processi...

Listeners usually understand without difficulty even speech that sounds atypical. When they encounter non-canonical realizations of speech sounds, listeners can make short-term adjustments of their long-term representations of those sounds. Previous research, focusing mostly on adaptation in consonants, has suggested that for perceptual adaptation to take place some local cues (lexical, phonota...
