This question asks you to define a SCHEME function that computes the Bell numbers. The nth Bell number is the number of partitions" of n objects. To be precise, it is the number of ways to write the set {1,...,n} as a union of a family of disjoint subsets. Equivalently, it is the number of ways to take n items and arrange them into piles. For example, B3, the 3th Bell number, is equal to 5 because the set {1,2,3} has 5 different partitions: {1,2,3}, {1,2} U {3}, {1,3} {2} {1}U {2,3}, and {1} U {2} {3}. It might be worth defining the function b(n, k) equal to the number of ways that {1,...,n} can be expressed as a partition into exactly k sets; note then that Bn = bin, 1) + ... + b(n, n). Note, also, that the bin, k) satisfy a rather nice recursive relationship: bín, k) = k. b(n - 1,k) + b(n - 1, k-1). (To see this, notice that partitions of {1,...,n} can be divided into two different types: those where n is by itself in a singleton set), and those where it appears with some other elements. If you remove the element n from the first type of partition, you obtain a partition of n-1 objects into k-1 sets—there are bin - 1, k-1) of these; if you remove n from the second type of partition, you obtain a partition of n-1 objects into k sets—there are b(n-1,k) of these.) Use this recursive rule to give a simple SCHEME definition for B. If you define a separate auxiliary function to compute b(n, k), make sure you keep it local to your function that computes the Bell number.

Creating "smart interfaces" in all sectors of industry, government, and the public arena is one of the fastest growing hct areas. these interfaces model, interpret, and analyze such human characteristics as speech, gesture, and vision. the field of biometrics, in which humans authenticate themselves to machines, is an area of considerable interest to hct practitioners. fingerprint scans are one of the most frequently used biometric options, and this article, biometric student identification: practical solutions for accountability & security in schools, makes a case for the implementation of fingerprint scans in schools. critique the article, and answer the following questions: according to the author, what are the main benefits of adopting fingerprint scans in schools for student identification? according to the author, what are the main drawbacks of adopting fingerprint scans in schools for student identification? do you agree with the author's assessment of the pl
