Organisms, road networks, and computer chips all share a design challenge related to the problem of delivering resources through a network to every node in the system. How does the size of the resource distribution network of these three systems grow with respect to system size?

In the paper “Immunity by Design: An Artificial Immune System,” detection of foreign material is simulated by partial string matching using the r-contiguous bits rule. This rule states that two strings match iff they have the same symbols in at least r contiguous bit positions. The value of r determines how specific the detectors are. The authors of the paper mention a tradeoff that using this rule presents. What is this tradeoff?

Which tribe is not included in the original Five Nations of Iroquois?

The graph below shows two ROC curves produced using Textor’s negative selection algorithm. The blue dotted-dashed line (LINE A) represents a classifier that was trained on English and classified anomalous strings from mystery language A. The red solid line (LINE B) represents a classifier that was trained on English and classified anomalous strings from mystery language B. The black dotted line plots the function x=y. Using your knowledge from the negative selection assignment and with the possible language choices Hilgaynon, English, Middle English, which languages are closest to the mystery languages A and B?

Human tumors are believed to contain hypoxic cells which: can make tumors more radio resistant than normal tissues can reoxygenate if the cells can relocate next to a blood supply may cause radiotherapy to fail locally if all cells are not reoxygenated

Organisms, road networks, and computer chips all share a design challenge related to the problem of delivering resources through a network to every node in the system. With design optimizations, how does the total size of the resource distribution system (the vascular system) of mammals scale as the mass of the mammal increases?
