Recent technological developments like high-resolution satellite imagery and diagnostic positron emission tomography (pet scans) have refined and extended the camera’s capacity to provide information. which passage assertion does this information support most strongly?

a) cameras can illuminate the private, personal lives of individuals. the examples in the question provide macro- or micro-level scientific information, which is highly impersonal and quite different from "private life," so this option is incorrect.
b ) capitalist consumption requires the unlimited production of images. the information provided in the question doesn’t support this option because satellite images and pet scans are not really relevant to capitalist consumption. moreover, they are unlikely to be characterized as "unlimited."
c ) cameras are a means of appropriating reality and making it obsolete. the information provided in the question does not relate to making reality obsolete or out-of-date.
d) photography can be used to both control and benefit society. satellite images of offenders such as speeding drivers could, for example, be used to both control (by penalizing offenders) and benefit society (by protecting them from offenders); pet scans could be used to benefit society by revealing information about the human anatomy.

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
