Explanation of Solution

Purpose of the database:

  • The main purpose of the database is keeping track of the things.
  • It is tool that is used to organize large amount of data.
  • It is used in storing and transforming the data into information that can be used in supporting decision making.

Choice of database when preferred with spreadsheets:

  • Generally spreadsheets are also used to track things, the circumstance where a database is preferred with spreadsheets are when more information needs to processed to obtain a certain decision.
  • Spreadsheets are limited when more details regarding the data collected needs to be added.
  • In that case, database are preferred when more data needs to be added to calculate.

Determining database as a better choice:

Managing hundreds of spreadsheet with huge amount of data is really a tedious process for the manager.

  • The data that are present in the spreadsheet can be used in an effective way with the help of queries.
  • The data contents that are present in the database are processed based on the query, can be protected from the malicious user and data gets stored permanently into the database and the chance of data being lost gets reduced.

Therefore, the choice of using database is recommended in the solving the problems stated.

Developing the database as a centralized database:

Centralized database is a database that stores the data which can be maintained at a single location. Thus, when creating a database as a centralized database it provides the following advantages that are listed below:

  • It helps the data that are stored being maintained in consistent way thus ensuring the reliability of the data.
  • It provides security to the data that are stored...

Create a shared directory for each group. Create two files to put into each directory: spreadsheetJanuary.txt meetingNotes.txt Assign access permissions to the directories:  Groups should have Read+Write access Leave owner permissions as they are  “Everyone else” should not have any access   Submit for grade: Screenshot of  /etc/passwd contents showing your new users Screenshot of /etc/group contents showing new groups with their members Screenshot of shared directories you created with files and permissions
⚫ your circuit diagrams for your basic bricks, such as AND, OR, XOR gates and 1 bit multiplexers, ⚫ your circuit diagrams for your extended full adder, designed in Section 1 and ⚫ your circuit diagrams for your 8-bit arithmetical-logical unit, designed in Section 2. 1 An Extended Full Adder In this Section, we are going to design an extended full adder circuit (EFA). That EFA takes 6 one bit inputs: aj, bj, Cin, Tin, t₁ and to. Depending on the four possible combinations of values on t₁ and to, the EFA produces 3 one bit outputs: sj, Cout and rout. The EFA can be specified in principle by a truth table with 26 = 64 entries and 3 outputs. However, as the EFA ignores certain inputs in certain cases, it is easier to work with the following overview specification, depending only on t₁ and to in the first place: t₁ to Description 00 Output Relationship Ignored Inputs Addition Mode 2 Coutsjaj + bj + Cin, Tout= 0 Tin 0 1 Shift Left Mode Sj = Cin, Cout=bj, rout = 0 rin, aj 10 1 1 Shift Right…
