Each row in a database is a set of unique information called a(n)

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?

Write a fragment of code that reads in strings from standard input, until end-of-file and prints to standard output the largest value. you may assume there is at least one value. (cascading/streaming logic, basic string processing)

Write a program that will compute the volume of ice cream served in a cone. as you can see in the diagram below, the ice cream is served as a hemisphere of frozen deliciousness on top of a cone, which is also packed with frozen deliciousness. thus, the total volume of ice cream sold is the volume of the hemisphere plus the volume of the cone. the example shows an ice cream cone in which the hemisphere and cone have a radius of 10 inches and the cone has a height of 15 inches. your program must instead prompt for these two values, which are taken from the keyboard as integers: • the hemisphere/cone radius in inches, and
