What is the purpose of using a footnote in word? : *
a. to denote an item of interest the reader may want to conduct further research on.
b. to provide additional information pertaining to specific text included within the document.
c. to identify a specific location in a document that a hyperlink can be directed to take the reader to.
d. to link the reader to an outside resource with additional information about the topic.

Technician a says that if a valve is open when a piston rises to the very top of a cylinder, the piston may actually strike the valve head and cause serious engine damage. technician b says if the camshaft is located in the engine block, then the engine is called an overhead valve engine, ohv engine, or an in-block camshaft. who is right? a. b only b. both a and b c. a only d. neither a nor b

You need a reliable network for about twenty-five computers that will be distributed across a large building. it is important that the network be relatively cheap. which topology should you use?

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?
