They are used to address problems that are intractable or cumbersome with traditional methods. These new computing architectures are radically different from the computers that are widely used today. ANN's are massively parallel systems that rely on dense arrangements of interconnections and surprisingly simple processors (Cr95, Ga93). Artificial neural networks ... of the network. Furthermore, more than one syllable or pattern may be stored at the same time by the same network (Ze93). Neural networks have far-reaching potential as building blocks in tomorrow's computational world. Already, useful applications have been designed, built, and commercialized, and much research continues in hopes of extending this success (He95). Neural network applications emphasize areas where they appear to offer a more appropriate approach than ... control systems may use neural network components in the future. Simulation techniques, such as simulation languages, may be extended to include structures that allow us to simulate neural networks. Neural networks may also play a new role in the optimization of engineering designs and industrial resour ces (Za93). Many design choices are involved in developing a neural network application. The first option is in choosing the general area of application. ...

- ... localized to the male homosexual and IV drug user communities. This localization very quickly disappeared . AIDS is becoming a global epidemic. No country is safe from it. There has been AIDS cases reported around the world, in such places as the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Southeast Mediterranean , and Oceania. This helps to show that AIDS knows no geographical boundries (Folks). This disease has been likened to the Black Plaque that decimated Europe ... unexpressed for years which is why a lot of HIV positive people do not show AIDS symptoms for years. When some activator stimulates the provirus, then viral RNA and the HIV proteins are synthesized and new HIV viruses are produced (Nowak 964). When activated, the virus causes a suppression of the immune system so that one or more "opportunistic" diseases can gain a foothold. It is one of these diseases which ... When something occurs that damages the immune system, then these diseases abound (Folks). One of the symptoms of full blown AIDS is dementia. This was thought to be caused by encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). New evidence suggests that the AIDS virus itself destroys neurons in the brain even though it does not infect them. In laboratory findings the level of neurons in the brains of dead AIDS patients was ...
