Business law question:

Many actions can be a tort and a crime (like the OJ example in the video). As the video discusses, he was found "not guilty" of the crime of murder but was found "liable" for the tort of wrongful death. Share your thought on whether we should consolidate criminal and tort law so a person can only be held responsible for one or whether it is "right" to have two different systems for evaluating the same activity.

JAVA

(1) Create two files to submit:

• ItemToPurchase.java - Class definition
• ShoppingCartPrinter.java - Contains main() method

Build the ItemToPurchase class with the following specifications:

• Private fields
  • String itemName - Initialized in default constructor to "none"
  • int itemPrice - Initialized in default constructor to 0
  • int itemQuantity - Initialized in default constructor to 0
• Default constructor
• Public member methods (mutators & accessors)
  • setName() & getName() (2 pts)
  • setPrice() & getPrice() (2 pts)
  • setQuantity() & getQuantity() (2 pts)

(2) In main(), prompt the user for two items and create two objects of the ItemToPurchase class. Before prompting for the second item, call scnr.nextLine(); to allow the user to input a new string. (2 pts)

Ex:

Item 1
Enter the item name:
You entered: Chocolate_Chips

Enter the item price:
You entered: 3

Enter the item quantity:
You entered: 1



Item 2
Enter the item name:
You entered: Bottled_Water

Enter the item price:
You entered: 1

Enter the item quantity:
You entered:10

(3) Add the costs of the two items together and output the total cost. (2 pts)

Ex:

TOTAL COST
Chocolate_Chips 1 @ $3 = $3
Bottled_Water 10 @ $1 = $10

Total: $13

4. DNS hijacking is a common technique that is used by censors (i.e., networks who perform censoring actions), where fake DNS responses can be injected. As a DNS request could traverse a number of routers along the path, each router along the path could inject a fake DNS response. In the paper “The Collateral Damage of Internet Censorship by DNS Injection”, authors use a technique similar to traceroute to identify the router that actually injects the fake DNS response. Authors deliberately decrease the TTL (time-to-live) value in the IP header to monitor ICMP packet and fake DNS response to decide the router that injects fake response. In this paper, DNS is built on UDP. However, DNS can also be built on top of TCP. This expands the attack surface for attackers. Specifically, the censors inject RST packets to both the client and the server in one TCP connection if a DNS query in this connection carries “sensitive” information. Different from UDP, TCP requires three-way handshake. Therefore, the packet that carries sensative information (e.g., a TCP-based DNS query) will be the packet that comes later than packets for three-way handshake. Let us make the following assumptions for this question 1. We assume that DNS over TCP is using a publicly-known port number. 2. Censors are stateless, which means that they will not consider whether a TCP packet belongs to an established connection. They make decision based on each individual packet instead of packets belonging to the same connection. In order to make the method discussed in “The Collateral Damage of Internet Censorship by DNS Injection” to be useful in this new setting, we need to make a few changes of this method. Question: Please verify whether each of the following changes is needed or not (1 Point). And please justify your answer (1 Points). a. When you select a target IP to send honey queries, this IP should never respond you with TCP RST packets if you send a TCP-based DNS query to this IP. b. When you send out a honey query (a TCP-based DNS query with a sensitive domain) to a target IP, you can directly send this TCP-based DNS query to this target IP without establishing a TCP connection with the target IP (i.e., through 3-way handshake). c. You should now expect RST packets from the censor rather than a forged DNS response.

Problem Description: Game: Bean Machine or Galton Box

To figure out if the ball falls to Left or Right, you can generate a random number using Math.random(). If this random number is greater than or equal to 0.5 we assume the ball falls to the Right otherwise it falls to the Left (or vise versa).

If there are 8 slots, the ball should hit 7 nails (8 -1), thus you should run a loop 7 times to figure out the path for that ball. If you have N balls, this whole process should be repeated N times. Here is a basic algorithm.

# of balls = N

# of slots = K

array of K elements

for ( i = 0 to N) {

   int R = 0;

   for (j = 0 to K-1) {

        if ( random number >= 0.5)

                  R++;

}//end loop j

array[R] ++;

}// end loop i

Output the array to show how many balls are in each slot.

A high carbon steel shaft is used in an engine and subjected to different loads. In order to analyse the stress in the shaft, consider a rectangular element within the material. This element is subjected to compressive stress of 135 MPa and shear stress of 166MPa in the vertical direction. The compressive stress in the horizontal direction is 166MPa with a shear stress of 115MPa.
a. Sketch the state of stress on this element.
b. Determine the maximum and minimum normal and shear stresses and their plane of orientation.
c. If the yield strength of the material is 350MPa, Poison’s ratio is 0.32, and factor of safety is 5, determine the diameter of the shaft to avoid failure.

one can tell by comparing nodes between two given trees whether they relate to each other, by having a reflected symmetric structure (i.e. being mirror images of each other), having identical structure, or not being related at all. In this assignment, you are asked to implement the following features.
Hard-code some paired lists of integers.
Build binary search trees from each list
Print the binary search trees in the three orders discussed in class.
Determine if the two binary search trees are identical, mirrors of each other, or neither
Remove a number in each tree at random and compare the tree pair again

Further, since the methods of the binary search tree class have been presented with recursive function calls, it is now up to you to implement these recursive functions with iterative loops.

You must write a Class Node, a class TreeChecker and a class BinarySearchTree. For Java users, they must implement the following interfaces respectively:
public interface INode {

   //Getter of node data
   T getData();

   //Setter of node data
   void setData(T data);

    INode getLeftChild() ;

   void setLeftChild(INode leftChild) ;

   INode getRightChild() ;

   void setRightChild(INode rightChild);
  
}
public interface ITree {
   void setRoot(INode root);
INode getRoot();
void preorder();   // print tree in a preorder traversal
void inorder();   // print tree in an inorder traversal
void postorder();   // print tree in a postorder traversal
INode insert(INode root, T data); // insert data into tree
   INode remove(INode root, T data); //search/remove node with data
   T search(INode root, T data); //search and return data if it exists
   INode getMax(INode root); //return node with maximum value of subtree
   INode getMin(INode root); //return node with minimum value of subtree
}  
public interface ITreeChecker {
  
boolean isMirror(ITree root1, ITree root2); // check if two trees are mirror
// images
   boolean isSame(ITree root1, ITree root2); // check if two trees are identical
}

Then if you could run the code in this main class.

public class Main {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {  
       // build a tree for the following lists
// int array1[] = [4,1,9,12,3,2,8,7,16,20,13,11];
       // int array2[] = [4,1,9,12,3,2,8,7,16,20,13,11];

       //add more examples here

       Bst1 = new BinarySearchTree();
       Bst2 = new BinarySearchTree();
      
      
       //more trees for each example

       treeChecker = new TreeChecker();

       //build each BST

       //print each tree with each order of traversal

       //compare bst1 and bst2 as mirror images with tree checker
       If(treeChecker.isMirror(bst1, bst2))
           Print messages saying the trees are mirrors of each other
       // compare bst1 and bst2 as being identical with tree checker
       Else If(treeChecker.isSame(bst1, bst2))
           Print messages saying the trees are identical to each other
       Else
           Print message saying the trees are not related

       //randomly remove a number from each tree
       //compare bst1 and bst2 again

// more code here to finish regarding comparing the other BST pairs…
}

Forecasted Statements and Ratios Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is shown here (millions of dollars):

Cash $ 3.5 Accounts payable $ 9.0

Receivables 26.0 Notes payable 18.0

Inventories 58.0 Line of credit 0

Total current assets $ 87.5 Accruals 8.5

Net fixed assets 35.0 Total current liabilities $ 35.5

Mortgage loan 6.0

Common stock 15.0

Retained earnings 66.0

Total assets $122.5 Total liabilities and equity $122.5

Sales for 2016 were $325 million and net income for the year was $9.75 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $3.9 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2017. Do not round intermediate calculations. If sales are projected to increase by $100 million, or 30.77%, during 2017, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. $ million
