Advantages of IANNs over traditional circuits According to Ron Weiss lecture, Intracellular Analog Neural Networks (IANNS) offer several advantages as compared with classical Boolean genetic circuits (combination of simple on/off switches): Continuous signal: IANNs allow the integration of continuous signals: this processing is much closer to what happens in cell biology. For instance, a Boolean circuit can assess whether the protein CasE is present or not, while the IANNs can compute the concentration of CasE in the cell.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/flo-razoux/homework/week_07_hw/fungal_materials/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/flo-razoux/homework/week_07_hw/fungal_materials/index.html1. Fungal materials and their applications Fungal materials are biomaterials made out of fungi, a kingdom of organisms that includes yeasts, molds and mushrooms. The fruiting body of Fomes fomentarius (aka “tinder fungus”) is known for its ancient use as a fire-starter and has been used for centuries to make amadou, a buckskin-like fabric. However, the traditional craft of amadou-making is slowly dying and the vast majority of fungal materials are now made of mycelium, the root-like part of mushrooms and molds that consist of a vast network of microscopic thread-like filaments.
