Robotic Animals?

Image
An article by Aisling Irwin titled " Robotic Bugs Train Insects to be Helpers" discusses a new experiment that has been done involving robots to be integrated in insect society. This specific experiment involved robots to "live" with ants and become one with them. When they ants found food, the robot will detect that a follow the ants to the food source. the purpose of this experiment was to prove a theory which was brought up by another experiment. Another robot followed cockroaches and did what they did, eventually till it was recognized as one of them. Later whatever the robot did which went against normal cockroach behavior, such as moving to a space with light, the roaches followed the robot. Dr. Collignon, one of the researches, believes this is a step towards animals becoming more useful towards human society. Some new uses that could be introduced is that small animals can be used to explore dangerous environments that humans cannot go into such as a collaps...

Lab5-Favorite's Lists

Image
This lab was to create a table consisting of our favorite things in multiple categories which were movies, food, subject, music, and grocery list. I supposed it was just a list instead of a list of our favorite things, but either way it was more complex than it seems. This is because we essentially had to create a list within a list in our code. For three of the categories there was subsections; for the favorite subjects we had to include two reasons for it to be our favorite, for favorite music we had two genres then three artist and finally two songs, and for the grocery list we had to include the specific type of food and at least five items for each type.

What i mean by this is that the list could be ordered or unordered, and the the symbol for the lists( bullet points, roman numerals) are different. The code for the lab consisted of a table with five columns and two...

Different Diplomas, Different Requirements

Image
Even though I've known that there are three different types of diplomas offer, generally, I never really been told by school staff the requirements for each diploma; I only figured out the requirements when I googled it. however, today I finally got a sheet with all the requirements for getting a regents or advanced regents diploma. the major difference between a regents and advanced regents diploma is the foreign language section. A requirement for advanced regents is you have to have accumulated at least 6 credits in a foreign language and take the LOTE, an exam that is basically the regents exam. since you only need 44 credits to get a regents or advanced regents diploma the extra credits you get from the foreign language class is taken from electives, so you only need 3 elective credits for an advanced regents diploma; a regular regents diploma requires at least 7 elective credits. since I'm in a CTE academy in my school, I do not have to take the extra foreign language c...
