Answer the following multiple-choice questions:

1. A TCP receiver received an expected segment, without error, but yet has not ACKed the sender. What might be the reason for that?

1. It is actually a lost segment.
2. It is actually a duplicate segment.
3. The use of Stop-and-wait mechanism.
4. The use of Delayed ACK.
5. The use of a large window size.

2. If a TCP receiver received 2 segments with sequence number 34 and 58, the second segment was corrupted and discarded. What action could be taken to fix this? (Recall in TCP, ACK number is the next expected 1st byte number in the next segment & TCP uses cumulative ACK means all segments received with sequence number less than ACK number have been received correctly)

1. Receiver sends ACK number 34
2. Receiver sends ACK number 58
3. Receiver sends ACKs number 34 & 58
4. Receiver just waits for timeout

3. Receiver Window value in TCP header is used for ___________

1. Go-back N window
2. Flow control
3. Congestion avoidance
4. Establish connection

4. Comparing TCP to UDP: choose ALL CORRECT statements

1. UDP server can support multiple clients using one socket.
2. TCP server can support multiple clients using one socket.
3. TCP server can support multiple clients using multiple sockets.
4. TCP server cannot allow a client to have more than one connection socket.
5. TCP server allow a client to have more than one connection socket

5. What is NOT true about TCP congestion control?

1. TCP sender’s experience slow rate at the beginning of the connection
2. After a slow start, TCP sender’s initial rate increases slowly
3. After a slow start, TCP sender’s initial rate increases exponentially (fast)
4. when loss occurs, congestion window is cut down to half

6. A reliable data transfer mechanism in which receiver individually acknowledges all correctly received packets and sender only resends packets for which ACK not received is called:

1. Go-back-N
2. Selective repeat
3. Negative acknowledgement
4. NAK-free protocol

7. Consider a TCP connection between Host A and B. Suppose that the TCP segments traveling from Host A to Host B have source port number x and destination port number y. What are the source and destination port numbers for the segments traveling from Host B to Host A?

1. source port number x and destination port number x
2. source port number x and destination port number y
3. source port number y and destination port number x
4. source port number y and destination port number y
5. No enough information

8. Consider an RDT protocol. To find whether a received packet (at the receiver) contains new data or it is a duplicate, we can use ________________.

1. Sequence numbers
2. Acknowledgement
3. Duplicate Acknowledgement
4. Timers
5. Pipelining
6. Checksum

Working in a small group (6 members), carefully select an issue which is closely linked to HR policy and practice (for example, we looked together in class at the issue of maternity leave, process of training, bottom-up HR planning, expatriate family issues to have low performance, selection criteria, design for expatriate compensation package. Issues on PCNs (expatriates), HCNs and TCNS face when working in an MNE (you need to link to some key HR activities, such as staffing, training, reward management etc… ). You will be exploring this issue in detail, comparing and contrasting how it is experienced and managed in different countries. It is important you talk through your choice of topic with Dr. Yi before proceeding with your project so that she can advise and guide you on its suitability.

______ By definition, reduced costs of all decision variables in a linear program should be non-negative (zero or positive).

Explanations:

______ By definition, dual prices of all constraints in a linear program should be non-negative (zero or positive).

Explanations:

______ If the reduced cost of a decision variable (product) is 5, it means that the value of this decision variable should be zero. In order for this decision variable to be positive (attractive), its objective coefficient needs to be reduced by 5.

Explanations:

______ As long as the right-hand sides (RHS) of all constraints vary within their respective ranges, all dual prices will not change.

Explanations:

______ For a resource (≤) constraint and a (profit) maximization problem, as the right-hand side (RHS) increases, the corresponding dual price will stay the same or decrease. As a result, the objective function (profit) will either stay the same or decrease.

Explanations:

______ If the 100% rule is satisfied, then the optimal solution will not change.

Stairs Jumping

One day, Jojo takes a vacation to the mountains to get away from the cities. While climbing the mountain, Jojo came to an area filled with thousands of stairs to get to the top. However, there was a rule in the mountain which stated that Jojo had to jump over the stairs with same height to get to the top of the mountain. Listening to these rules, Jojo wanted to know what is the minimum required height he should jump and the minimum number of jumps to reach the top of the mountain. Note: Jojo is on the first stair and the top of the mountain is on the last stair. Jojo can jump several stairs as long as the difference of the height of the steps does not exceed the height of Jojo’s jump.

Format Input:

There are T test cases. Each testcase contains an integer N which represents numbers of stairs that Jojo had to jump. On the next line there are N numbers where each number represents the height of the stair.

Format Output Output:

T line with format “Case # X: Y Z”, where X represents the testcase number, Y represents minimal height Jojo has to jump, and Z represents minimal number of jumps to reach the top of the mountain.

Constraints

• 1 ≤ T ≤ 50

• 2 ≤ N ≤ 10000

• 0 ≤ Ai ≤ 10⁹ , where A_i represents _i-th height of the stair. • A_i < A_j for every index i < j

Sample Input (standard input):

2

5

1 2 3 4 5

5

1 2 3 4 6

Sample Output (standard output):

Case #1: 1 4

Case #2: 2 3

Explanation In case 1, Jojo will jump 1 unit high because the biggest difference between adjacent stairs is 1. Then Jojo will jump 4 times to reach the top.

In case 2, Jojo will jump 2 units high because the biggest difference between adjacent stairs is 2 on the 4-th and 5-th stairs. Then Jojo made 3 jumps to reach the top with the following simulation.

• In jump 1, Jojo will jump from stair 1 to 3, because the height difference between the 1st and 3rd stairs is still less equal than 2.

• On jump 2, Jojo will jump from stair 3 to 4, with a height difference of 1. Jojo cannot jump directly to stair 5 because the difference in height exceeds the height of Jojo’s jump.

• On jump 3, Jojo will jump from stair 4 to 5, with a height difference of 2

As an effective speaker the key element we are taught is to "Know (analyze) your audience". After reviewing this chapter what have you learned are other important elements that you must do (know) when planning a presentation? How many main points should a speaker include in their presentation/speech? Open a dialogue to discuss the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of a speaker's use of humor in presentations/speeches (Respond in agreement or disagreement to other virtual classmates post(s).

Types of Delivery

The word presentation may conjure up images of a speaker standing behind a lectern delivering information to a passive audience. While some business and professional presentations certainly follow this model, many of them are far more interactive.

There are three presentation styles: monologues, guided discussions, and interactive presentations.¹

Monologues are speeches delivered without interruption or audience involvement. An example might be when the presenter of an award introduces the winner to the audience by sharing some kind remarks about that person’s achievements. Monologues are most appropriate in large settings and on formal occasions. In smaller groups, they can feel artificial and create the impression the speaker does not care much about the audience.

Guided discussions are more interactive. In this type of presentation, a speaker provides information and has a preset idea of which material will be covered, but listeners are encouraged to speak up with questions and comments. Managing a guided discussion is more challenging, but the potential for more audience buy-in can be worth the effort.

Interactive presentations, as their name implies, involve the audience even more. Although the speaker still controls the program, an interactive presentation feels more like a conversation than a speech. Interactive presentations are common in sales settings, where customer interest drives the communication.

Speakers have four options when delivering presentations: manuscript, memorized, extemporaneous, 325and impromptu. However, two of them—extemporaneous and impromptu—will serve you best in most situations.

Using Matlab

1. Write a function, called digits_function that is able to calculate the number of digits and the multiplication of the digits. The input of this function is N (entered number) and the outputs are number_digits and sum_digits.

2. Write a function, called print_Min_function that is able to print the minimum of 3 numbers. The inputs of this function are a, b and c.

3. Write a function, called prime_function that receives one parameter n, and checks whether the number is prime or not. The input of this function is n and the output is result_prime.

4. Now after you created the three functions, you have to write a program that can call the above functions according to the user’s choice. Write a menu driven that allows the user to select from the following options

1. To use the digits function you have to enter 1.
2. To use the minimum function you have to enter 2.
3. To use the prime function you have to enter 3.
4. To Exit the program you have to enter 4.

Once the user select one of the above choices you have to read the value entered by the user and then to call the respective function. If the user entered a number that is not equal to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, the program should ask the user to re-enter again.

Then, you have to use “input” to enter the values of the variables (inputs of the functions).

For the digits function, you have to enter only positive number. For the minimum function, you have to enter greater than or equal to zero values and for the prime function you have to enter greater than 1 values.

For all of the functions, the program should ask the user to re-enter again if the user entered wrong numbers.
