Theories about the genetic origins of altruism suggest that evolution should only favor altruism when it is directed toward family members. Assuming such theories are correct, which of the following choices best explains the fact that people nonetheless do behave altruistically, sometimes astonishingly so, toward strangers?

While at the dog park with his family, Joel heroically jumped into a fight between two dogs and saved the life of a stranger’s pet. According to Freud, which aspect of Joel’s personality took over in this moment?

One critical factor in people’s happiness is the strength of their

A solar concentrator is a type of solar collector that collects light over a certain area and focuses it onto smaller area.

Question Set 4 – 4.1 Deep learning has been used to establish an anomaly detection model. The infrastructure of a biology-inspired neural network for building anomaly detection models can be illustrated as shown in Figure 4.1 below. More specifically, this figure illustrates a feedforward neural network (FNN) that can generate normal or abnormal traffic behavior patterns using supervised or semi-supervised ML strategies. In this model, network traffic can be first categorized by multiple features, which later will be used as inputs of the FNN. The following questions are based on the presented FNN neural network solutions. Recall that a neuron contains an activation function ϕ(∗). Which of the following statements regarding the activation function are correct? (select all that apply) Figure 4.1.

Question Set 3 – 3.7 You can also use the attack countermeasure tree (ACT) to model the attack scenarios. For example, Figure 3.4 presents a BGP attack scenario. In the figure, the money value ($) are used to represent how much effort an attacker needs to expend to deploy the attack. Referring to Figure 3.4 and if the attacker’s budget constraint is $2900 (so the sum of the effort spent by the attacker cannot exceed $2900 ), which attack scenarios are possible?

Question Set 4 – 4.4 The list below presents the procedural steps of FNN. Which of the answer options presents their correct order? STEP A: Input the first observation of your dataset in the input layer, each feature in one input node. STEP B:Compare the predicted result to the actual result. Measure the generated error. STEP C: Forward-propagation: from left to right, the neurons are activated in a way that the impact of each neuron’s activation is limited by the weights. Propagate the activations until getting the predicted result y. STEP D: Randomly initialize the network, set weights to small numbers close to 0 (but not 0). STEP E: Repeat previous steps and update the weights after each observation. Or, repeat previous steps but update the weights only after a batch of observations (Batch Learning). STEP F:Back-Propagation: From right to left, the error is back-propagated. Update the weights according to how much they are responsible for the error. The learning rate decides by how much we update the weights.

Question Set 1 – Question 1.1 Suppose you are an IT staff member and it is your organization’s network that is shown to the left side of the Internet in Figure 1.1.  You have a private network 192.168.0.0/24 and this private network is behind the gateway G. I1-I6 represent network interfaces of host/server/gateway/router. If G is the one that connects your organization to the public Internet, you need to assign a public IP address from your local ISP.  Which of the following IP addresses that you may get from your ISP should be assigned on your gateway G’s interface I3 that connects to the Internet?
