OS(Operating Systems) [3] (a) Define DMA (Direct Memory Access). (b) An input device can transmit 100 characters every 4 mils 10 , if the CPU needs 2 mics to service the Interrupt. How much time is left for asynchronous I/O. What if it can transmit 1000 characters every 4 mils and the CPU also needs 2 mics for the service routine. What do you think? Explain your answer in details. [4] (a) What is the interrupt types? Give examples. (b)...

What is the functional relationship between the integumentary and skeletal systems? How does failure to maintain homeostasis in the integumentary system affect bone formation and remodeling processes? Be sure to discuss how the different types of bone cells respond to different factors (e.g., ions, hormones, cellular signaling molecules, etc.) and what the driving force behind maintaining homeostasis in the bone remodeling process. Describe the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and explain why it is considered a multifactorial disease. How do current therapies...
