Where does the word robot come from?
The word "robot" (from robota, Czech for "work") made its public debut on this date in 1921, when it premiered on stage in Karel Capek's play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). The play told of a world in which humans relaxed and enjoyed life while robots - imitation humans - happily did whatever labor needed to be done. Not unexpectedly, the robots eventually rebelled and took over the world. The term "robot" achieved its own world domination in 1923, when the play was translated into English; it quickly overran its competition, precursors "android" and "automaton."
Apparently from Czech robotnik (worker) or robota (work).
The term 'robot' was first used by Czech writer Karel Capek in a 1921 play called "Rossum's Universal Robots", and caught on internationally.
Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov is credited with coining the related term robotics in 1941.
What would a work day look like for a pharmcologist?
The duties of a pharmacologist include greeting customers and verifying customer information. They also may answer phone calls throughout the day and fill prescriptions.
Why do Social Scientists gather data from samples instead of populations?
It is simple statistics. It would be almost impossible to survey an entire population, so they apply a simple random sample in which each person in the population receives a numerical value (001 - 999 for example). Then they use a random number generator on a calculator or use a random digit table to choose an appropriate amount of people to be sampled. It is more cost effective and easier to do it this way, yet still represents the population fairly accurately.
Which surface feature forms from the deposition of sand and silt particles?
A delta forms at the point where a river meets the ocean. As river water flows into the ocean, the water slows and sand and silt particles are deposited. This forms the fan-shaped landmass under the water known as a delta.
What is the importance of video camera in the society?
Video cameras have the ability to capture important news and important moments on film. In addition, they can be used to identify criminals or crimes that are committed. They can also be used as a chronicle of the time, preserving important events in human history.
What is the definition of collecting data?
Data collection is nothing but you can say that The collection of data from surveys, or form independent or networked locations via data capture, data entry or data logging.

What was operation wetback and how was it related to labor and the economy?
Operation Wetback was started by President Eisenhower in 1954 and it is related to labor because it targeted the Mexican illegal immigrants working in the United States. This makes it relate to the economy too because the US lost a lot of Mexican laborers, so people needed someone to fill in the jobs in for the Mexicans deported in the southwestern part of the US

Cutting an index card so that it will fit over your head?

What is the Freudian perspective on whether relationships are internally or externally motivated?
Inernally - Freud was a true believer in peronality being completely innate; moreover, relationships stemming purely from the psychsexual stages of development - along with a strong impetus throughout life in thanatos, oedipal and electra complexes Hope this helps!
Prebiotics are parts of food that you can't digest directly.
When your partially digested meal arrives in your large intestine, it becomes the food for your probiotic microbes. Mother's milk contains sugars (galacto-oligosaccharides), which feed probiotic bacteria known as Bifidobacterium, which protect babies from gastrointestinal infections. In addition, probiotic bacteria thrive on the parts of plants that you can't digest directly, including oligofructose and inulin. Oligofructose is a fructooligosaccharide, which refers to a short chain of fructose molecules. Inulins are a group of polysaccharides, which means a long chain of sugar molecules. Since these prebiotics are composed of sugars, they are carbohydrates, and since they are indigestible and able to be dissolved in water, they are soluble fibers. Although you can't digest prebiotics, the probiotic bacteria in your colon can metabolize them through fermentation, releasing significant quantities of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane. This process can sometimes cause intestinal gas; however, if you eat these prebiotic soluble fibers regularly, your body grows accustomed to them, and you experience fewer problems with gas.
Inulin and oligofructose are naturally present in many plant foods, and may help prevent constipation, promote enzyme activity and improve the pH levels in your colon. In addition, inulin promotes Lactobacillus acidophilus to produce butyrate, a beneficial short-chain fatty acid that helps inhibit inflammation in the intestinal tract. The following list shows foods in decreasing order of their average prebiotic content (values per 100 g):
Chicory root, raw: 41.6 g inulin, 22.9 g oligofructose
Jerusalem artichoke, raw: 18.0 g inulin, 13.5 g oligofructose
Dandelion greens, raw: 13.5 g inulin, 10.8 g oligofructose
Garlic, raw: 12.5 g inulin, 5.0 g oligofructose
Leek, raw: 6.5 g inulin, 5.2 g oligofructose
Asparagus, raw: 2.5 g inulin, 2.5 g oligofructose
Wheat bran, raw: 2.5 g inulin, 2.5 g oligofructose
Wheat flour, baked: 2.4 g inulin, 2.4 g oligofructose
Banana, raw: 0.5 g inulin, 0.5 oligofructose
Beans, peas, and lentils contain the oligosaccharides, raffinose and stachyose, that feed bifidobacteria, which suppress the activity of putrefactive bacteria, such as Clostridium in the colon. Good sources include:
Adzuki beans, raw: 0.2 g raffinose; 3.9 g stachyose
Soybeans, raw: 0.7 g raffinose; 3.2 g stachyose
Chickpeas, raw: 0.7 g raffinose; 2.4 g stachyose
Lima beans, raw: 0.4 g raffinose; 2.5 g stachyose
Black-eyed peas, raw: 0.5 g raffinose; 2.4 g stachyose
Peas, split, raw: 0.7 g raffinose; 2.1 g stachyose
Mung beans, raw: 0.8 g raffinose; 1.4 g stachyose
Lentils, raw: 0.3 g raffinose; 1.9 g stachyose
Beta glucans are sugars that are found in the cell walls of baker's yeast, shiitake mushrooms, and cereal grains, like barley, oats, rye, and wheat. They increase the number of probiotic bacteria in the intestines, especially in people over the age of fifty. Beta glucans stimulate the activity of macrophages, which are immune cells that ingest and demolish invading pathogens and stimulate other immune cells to attack. Macrophages also release cytokines, chemicals that enable the immune cells to communicate with one another. In addition, beta glucans stimulate lymphocytes (white blood cells) that bind to tumors or viruses, and release chemicals to destroy it. Beta glucans also help to lower total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol. Lentinan, a type of beta glucan found in shiitake mushrooms, is believed to reduce tumor activity and lessen the side effects of cancer treatment. Beta glucans also help your body do battle with bacteria resistant to antibiotic treatment and viruses that cause upper respiratory infections. They fight a form of Escherichia coli (ETEC), which cause traveler's diarrhea. They also fight upper respiratory infections from colds and flu.
Because only plants contain these probiotic-nourishing carbohydrates, vegans have much higher counts of probiotic bacteria than do meat eaters. Vegans who eat starches, vegetables, and fruits, which contain a wide variety of indigestible sugars that feed and stimulate the growth of probiotic bacteria, require no additional prebiotic supplements to obtain optimal health benefits form their probiotic microbes (natural or enhanced by probiotic supplements).
What are some examples of mixed economies?
When there is free enterprise as well as government control in a country, it is a mixed economy or dual economy. The United States is an example of this with some strong government regulation along with private enterprise.
