Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation of Solution

Conditions:

Following are the conditions should be met before an entity is referred as a weak entity:

  • The entity should be “existence-dependent” on its parent entity.
    • If an entity is referred as an “existence-dependent”, then that entity can exist in the database if and only if when it is related with another entity existence.
  • The entity should inherits a section of its primary key (PK) from its parent entity.

Example:

Consider the following ER diagram along with its attributes:

Database Systems: Design  Implementation  & Management, Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ

Explanation:

  • The entity CLASS is “existence-dependent” on COURSE entity. Hence the CLASS entity uses a PK component from its parent entity (COURSE).
  • The CLASS entity’s PK is (COURSE_ID, CLASS_SEC).
  • In this strong implementation, the CLASS entity is referred as a weak entity between COURSE and CLASS.

Objective  you will: 1. Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch, including the Big Five (Rule of Five)  2. Implement the TreeSort algorithm using a in-order traversal to store sorted elements in a vector. 3. Compare the performance of TreeSort with C++'s std::sort on large datasets. Part 1: Understanding TreeSort How TreeSort Works TreeSort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that leverages a Binary Search Tree (BST): 1. Insert all elements into a BST (logically sorting them). 2. Traverse the BST in-order to extract elements in sorted order. 3. Store the sorted elements in a vector.  Time Complexity Operation                                Average Case     Worst Case (Unbalanced Tree)Insertion                                     0(1log n)                0 (n)Traversal (Pre-order)                  0(n)                       0 (n)Overall Complexity                  0(n log n)                 0(n^2) (degenerated tree) Note: To improve performance, you could use a…
I need help fixing the minor issue where the text isn't in the proper place, and to ensure that the frequency cutoff is at the right place. My code: % Define frequency range for the plot f = logspace(1, 5, 500); % Frequency range from 10 Hz to 100 kHz w = 2 * pi * f; % Angular frequency   % Parameters for the filters - let's adjust these to get more reasonable cutoffs R = 1e3; % Resistance in ohms (1 kΩ) C = 1e-6; % Capacitance in farads (1 μF)   % For bandpass, we need appropriate L value for desired cutoffs L = 0.1; % Inductance in henries - adjusted for better bandpass response   % Calculate cutoff frequencies first to verify they're in desired range f_cutoff_RC = 1 / (2 * pi * R * C); f_resonance = 1 / (2 * pi * sqrt(L * C)); Q_factor = (1/R) * sqrt(L/C); f_lower_cutoff = f_resonance / (sqrt(1 + 1/(4*Q_factor^2)) + 1/(2*Q_factor)); f_upper_cutoff = f_resonance / (sqrt(1 + 1/(4*Q_factor^2)) - 1/(2*Q_factor));   % Transfer functions % Low-pass filter (RC) H_low = 1 ./ (1 + 1i * w *…
