An individual has a comparative advantage in the production of a particular good if she can produce it at a lower opportunity cost than other individuals. An individual has an absolute advantage in the production of a good if she can produce more of that good than another individual. using comparable amounts of time. raw materials and effort

defense system that has evolved to protect animals from invading pathogenic microorganisms and ancer. It is able to generate an enormous variety of cells and molecules capable of specifically recognizing and eliminat ing an apparently limitless variety of foreign invaders. These cells and molecules act together in a dynamic network whose omplexity rivals that of the nervous system. Functionally, an immune response can be divided into two related activities--recognition and response. Immune

An interesting property of an M/M/ 1 queue, which greatly simplifies combining these queues into a network, is the surprising fact that the output of an M/M/ queue with arrival rate is a Poisson process of rate This is part of Burke's theorem, which follows from reversibility A Markov chain has the property that P[future present, past] P[future present] Conditional on the present state, future states and past states are independent

1. Any arbitrary input sequence x[n] can be expressed as a linear combination of delaved and advanced unit sample sequences [n]=x[k][n-k] k=-0 2. .Linear Time-Invariant()System A system satisfying both the linearity and the time-invariance property. .If yiln] is the output due to an input xiln] and y2ln] is the output due to an input x2n] then for an input xn]=axiln]+bx2n] the output is given by ]=]+by2[n]

If you think participating in a programming contest is stressful, imagine being an air traffic controller. With human lives at stake, an air traffic controller has to focus on tasks while working under constantly changing conditions as well as dealing with unforeseen events. Consider the task of scheduling the airplanes that are landing at an airport. Incoming airplanes report their positions, directions, and speeds, and then the controller has to devise a landing schedule that brings all
