[AUDIO TRANSCRIPT: Game theory has obtained its applications in numerous fields such as Economics, Social Science, Political Science, and Evolutionary Biology. Game theory is now finding its applications in computer science. The nature of computing is changing because of success of Internet and the revolution in info technology. The advancement in technologies has made it possible to commoditize the components such as network, computing, storage and software. In the new paradigm, there are multiple entities (hardware, software agents, protocols etc.) that work on behalf of various autonomous bodies (such as a user, a business etc.) and give services to other similar entities. Internet has made is possible for many such geographically distributed autonomous entities to interact with every other and give different services.]
Listen to the passage and kind the accurate word in the blanks.

[AUDIO TRANSCRIPT: Nano science is the science of the extremely small – objects smaller than 100 nano metres (0.00001 cm). At these scales, the properties of materials change dramatically. Factors such as Brownian motion, surface stickiness and quantum effects become important. Nanotechnologies are based on a range of new materials, including carbon C60, carbon nano tubes, nano particles, nano wires, and polymers based on nano-size subunits. A huge range of applications are possible, based on stronger, lighter or smaller materials, or compounds with unusual optical or electrical properties. Early applications are enhancing existing products – tennis racquets, golf clubs, sunscreens. Possible medical applications include better implants, wound dressings, diagnostics and cancer treatments. Combining biological molecules with nano mechanical components is creating radically new materials; these are at an early stage of development. Environmental concerns focus mainly on nano particles but very little is known about their impact on residing things.]
