Explanation of Solution

Database by itself is not very useful to business user:

A database contains all the necessary information that is required for processing the business.

  • The database is not useful for the business user since the contents that are present in them are structured in an unorganized way.
  • The data stored in the database is present in the raw form and hence database is not ideal for the users.

Four elements of database application:

The four elements of database applications that are listed below:

  • Forms
  • Reports
  • Queries
  • Application Programs.

Purpose of the elements of database application:

The purpose of the each element is described below:

Forms:

The data present in the database can be viewed, inserted, updated and deleted using the elements.

Let us consider the example:

  • Consider the student mark that needs to updates in the database.
  • The form can be used to enter the marks scored by the user and the mark entered by the user can be viewed by the user through forms.
  • Consider the mark that is entered by the user needs to be corrected and it can be updated through forms.
  • Any student record that is not required can be deleted through forms.

Reports:

The data that are stored in the database are represented in the structural format by performing sorting, grouping, filtering and through other data manipulation process.

Let us consider the example:

A student record whose score can be viewed from highest to lowest order by using the sorting operation.

Queries:

The data values can be retrieved based on the search made by the user.

Let us consider the example:

A student whose score is greater than “90” can be viewed using the query given by the user.

Application Programs:

Application programs are used to provide security to the data, maintaining the consistency of the data and to process special purpose.

Let us consider the example:

The student data can be corrected only by the teacher who enters it the data is secured in such a way no student cannot modify the data present in the database...

I need help in construct a matlab code to find the voltage, the currents, and the watts based on that circuit.
Objective Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort and analyze its efficiency compared to recursive MergeSort. Unlike the recursive approach, which involves multiple function calls and stack overhead, the bottom-up version sorts iteratively by merging small subarrays first, reducing recursion depth and improving performance. Task 1. Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort о Start with single-element subarrays and iteratively merge them into larger sorted sections. Use a loop-based merging process instead of recursion. ○ Implement an efficient in-place merging strategy if possible. 2. Performance Analysis Compare execution time with recursive MergeSort on random, nearly sorted, and reversed datasets. ○ Measure and plot time complexity vs. input size. O Submission Explain why the iterative version reduces function call overhead and when it performs better. • Code implementation with comments. • A short report (1-2 pages) comparing performance. • Graph of execution time vs. input size for…
Given a shared data set, we allow multiple readers to read at the same time, and only one single writer can access the shared data at the same time. In the lecture slides, a solution is given. However, the problem is that the write cannot write forever, if there are always at least one reader. How to ensure that the writer can eventually write? Propose your solution by using semaphores and implemented in Python from threading import Thread, Semaphore from time import sleep from sys import stdout class Reader(Thread): def__init__(self, name): self.n=name; Thread.__init__(self) defrun(self): globalnr, nw, dr, dw whileTrue: # ⟨await nw == 0 then nr += 1⟩ e.acquire() ifnw>0: #if nw > 0 or dw > 0 : dr+=1; e.release(); r.acquire() nr+=1 ifdr>0: dr-=1; r.release() else: e.release() # read data stdout.write(self.n+' reading\n') sleep(1) # ⟨nr -= 1⟩ e.acquire() nr-=1 ifnr==0anddw>0: dw-=1 ; w.release() else: e.release() class Writer(Thread): def__init__(self, name):…
