What method of thermal energy is at work when heat lamps are used to warm up baby chickens?

1. which of the following statements are true about routers and routing on the internet. choose two answers. a. protocols ensure that a single path between two computers is established before sending packets over it. b. routers are hierarchical and the "root" router is responsible for communicating to sub-routers the best paths for them to route internet traffic. c. a packet traveling between two computers on the internet may be rerouted many times along the way or even lost or "dropped". d. routers act independently and route packets as they see fit.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?

This program should be a short piece of code that prints all of the positive integers from 1 to 100 as described more fully below. the program may contain multiple methods, and if using an oo language, should be contained within a single class or object. the program should be designed so that it begins execution when invoked through whichever mechanism is most common for the implementation language. â–ş print out all positive integers from 1 to 100, inclusive and in order. â–ş print messages to standard output, matching the sample output below. â–ş in the output, state whether the each integer is 'odd' or 'even' in the output. â–ş if the number is divisible by three, instead of stating that the number is odd or even, state that the number is 'divisible by three'. â–ş if the number is divisible by both two and three, instead of saying that the number is odd, even or divisible by three; state that the number is 'divisible by two and three'. â–ş design the logic of the loop to be as efficient as possible, using the minimal number of operations to perform the required logic. sample output the number '1' is odd. the number '2' is even. the number '3' is divisible by three. the number '6' is divisible by two and three.
