14. (Data Processing) a. A national medical testing laboratory wants a new computer systemto analyze its test results. The system must be capable of processing each day's results aswell as retrieving and outputting a printed report of all results meeting certain criteria,such as all results for a particular doctor or for hospitals in a certain state. Determinethree or four major program units into which this system could be separated. (Hint: Onepossible program unit is "Prepare Daily Results" to create each day's reports.)b. Suppose someone enters incorrect data for a test result, and the error is discoveredafter the system has entered and stored the data. What program unit is needed to cor-rect this problem? Discuss why such a program unit might or might not be requiredby most systems.c. Assume a program unit exists that allows users to change data that has been enteredand stored incorrectly. Discuss the need for including an "audit trail" that would allowreconstructing the changes later as well as when they were made and who made them.

*PLEASE SOLVE USING PYTHON* You are a nasa engineer who needs to monitor the situation every time a probe uses its thrusters. For a given day you are given the planned times when the thruster will be used. You need to be monitoring the situation at those boost times and for 5 minutes after. You want to figure out if you can take a break for a certain number of minutes. To achieve this you are given the planned boost times in in hours and minutes with an am/pm. And you are given a desired break time in minutes. Output if you can take the break or not given the monitoring you have to do. For example: If you know the thruster is fired at 5:00am and 12:50pm. You need to be monitoring the situation from 5:00am to 5:05am and again from 12:50pm to 12:55pm. Apart from those times you are free to take a break. So a 5 minute break is possible. But a 12 hour break is not possible.
3. The diagram below shows the main land routes for vehicular traffic between points A and G in a city. The figures in the arcs represent the cost of traveling between each pair of nodes. a) Manually apply Dijkstra's algorithm to find the cheapest route between A and G (visited nodes and total distance). b) Formulate a linear programming problem in extended form, to determine the shortest route to travel from A to G. Do not use subscripts, name 14 variables, for example XFE would be the variable that indicates that the arc from F to E is used. c) If there is a fixed cost for visiting each node, modify the formulation of the problem to include said fixed cost in the objective function, and the variables and restrictions that are required.

(a) (b) (c) Click to view image Assume that you have two different systems (systems 1 and 2) for changing the sampling rate (resolution) of digital image (a). When image (a) is downsampled by a factor of 2 using system 1 it produces image (b). When image (a) is downsampled by a factor of 2 using system 2 it produces image (c). Describe briefly what you think the difference is between system 1 and system 2. How do images (b) and (c) differ from the original image (a) and why? (i.e what do you think happened during the downsampling process)

2. RADIOACTIVE DECAY, REVISITED This is a modified version of chapter 1 problem 4 in your textbook. Consider the radioactive decay of nuclei A into nuclei B, which can then also decay. The numbers of each species as a function of time are given by N₁ (t) and NB (t), and the decay of each species is governed by¹: dNA dt == NA dNB NA NB = dt ΤΑ TB where T and T are the decay time constants for each type of nucleus.

Scenario A (Question 1-3) Acme engineering is a general light engineering company that specializes in metallic fixtures and fittings. It manufactures various products to customer order, and also has long term contracts to supply manufactured products to other companies. Acme is a "jobbing shop" involving craftspeople making specialized complete products - it is not a production line operation. The craftspeople work on early (6am-2pm) and late (2pm-10pm) shifts 5 days a week, and sometimes do overtime on Saturdays.. The factory is always closed on Friday. Each shift has a supervisor. The management team consists of the Managing Director, Accountant and Sales Manager. They are assisted by two Administrative Assistants who work Sunday to Thursday, 8.30am to 5.30pmS pe cify indicators for the conligency The management team has decided that, in order to become more competitive, it needs more and better information on the costs involved in manufacturing: It wants to build up a database of…

Problem Statement The plant manager of a toy manufacturing plant has been given an order for 10,000 new toys with a shipping date 10 weeks from now. He currently has 8 machines that produce 100 toys per week per machine, assuming one shift of 40 hours per week. He needs to know if the machines need to run overtime to meet the order and if so how much overtime is necessary. The goal is to minimize overtime. Calculate how many toys the 8 machines will produce in 10 weeks working one 40 hour shift. Do the machines need to run additional shifts (each shift for each machine is 40 hours per week)? Write a formula for calculating the number of weeks with an extra shift to meet this order in 10 weeks. Now, in actuality, the machines have been known to produce on the average 2 defective toys in a week (one shift) per machine. Also, the machines periodically require maintenance. This occurs on the average of 1 machine down for maintenance per week (one shift), with the maintenance requiring 1…
