1. describe an application where a series circuit might work better than a parallel circuit

A.) generate scaffolding to create database for your application. develop all the entities identified in assignment #2. add any additional that may be identified later. b.) add data validation rules to the models that are appropriate for your application and data. c.) create links for each scaffold in the header section. part 2: application updates [30 points] a.) add two additional views to the "home" controller you created in assignment #1. b.) the two views should be named as “privacy" and "". c.) link the two newly created views in the footer section. hint: you would need to modify the “home" controller definition and create “privacy.html.erb" and “.html.erb" files in appropriate locations.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?

Write a car class having two private member variables called tank and speed. write public methods called pumpgas and gofast. the method pumpgas gets an integer for gas that must be pumped. that value needs to be added to tank (no more than 20 gallons). it must return the amount of gas that is purchased ($4 per gallon). the method gofast should increase the speed by 5 each time it is called.write a constructor for the above class that initialized both variables to zero.write a tostring to display both the tank and speed when the car is printed.modify the car class to implement the interface comparable and an interface called carinter having the public methods in carinter.write the main program to create an array of size 5 of type car. create 5 car objects having each location of the array to refer to one of the cars. test the pumpgas, gofast, equals method on the array items. write an enhanced loop to print all the car values (using a tostring written last time).write a generic method to find the minimum of four items. pass int, double, char, string and car objects to test this method.
