Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1OCQ
To determine
The ways Uber is using its network to improve its competitive advantage in the taxi market.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1OCQ
Solution:
Uber has increased the availability of cabs at different pickup locations and at any time. It uses latest technologies like GPS tracking and mobile phone apps to reach out the customers and thus gain the competitive advantage over other taxis.
Explanation of Solution
Value and demand for uber relies on the number of clients. Uber uses latest technologies such as GPS tracking, GIS and smart phone apps to reach out the riders and drivers and communicates through the technology, which makes it easier for the customers to book the cab and therefore the number of customer increases.
With increase in the number of customers the demand for uber will also increase. As the number of drivers and riders increased, it becomes easy for the clients to get the rides on time without waiting on odd hours and at different pickup locations.
Increased availability of uber cabs at different pickup locations and even on odd hours makes the Uber experience favorable for the clients and this favorable experience attracts more clients to the Uber.
This increased number of clients sustains the loop of positive feedbacks thus it gives Uber the competitive advantage. Therefore, it can be said that these network technologies help uber to gain the competitive advantages over other taxis.
Conclusion:
Thus, it can be concluded that by use of latest technology the availability of cars increased and it becomes easy to access Uber and thus Uber gets the competitive advantage.

2. (35 points) Use you program to investigative properties of a four step linear pathway. Just
extend the model given in question 1 to include an additional two species x2 and x3. You can
assume simple irreversible mass-action kinetic on each reaction.
I recommend you use the following values for the rate constants: 1 = 0.6; k2 = 1.8; k3 =
0.5; k40.04. This will enable you to more easily answer the following questions.
You can also assume that the input is the source X and you can set its value to one.
You may find that the plot of the phase change at x3 is broken at -180 degrees because it wraps
around. To avoid this you can use the method:
phase = np.unwrap(phase)
to make sure the phase plot is continuous.

The zombies showed up while you were sleeping! The zombie alarm you built goes off as they open the door. You jolt awake to see an alpha-zombie charging through the door. The alphas are zombies that turned all of the zombies in its army. If you can take down this one zombie, all the others pouring into the room should fall as well. Luckily, your group was prepared for this eventuality. Another member of your team has constructed the zombie shocker circuit shown in Figure 5, using some batteries for the voltage source, some rusty metal for the resistors and a coil of wire for the inductor. The switch is just you pulling apart two wires to open the circuit (while holding them by their insulated sheaths).
1. Construct the circuit shown in Figure 15 in the Circuit JS simulator. 2. Start the simulation with switch SW1 in the closed position. You’ve been charging this circuit all night, so you’ll want to let the circuit run for a while (roughly 30 seconds at max…

- write a simple memory management simulator in C that supports paging. In this setup the logical address space (216= 65,536 bytes) is larger than the physical address space (215 bytes), and the page size is 256 bytes. The maximum no. of entries in the TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) = 16. memory.c - You are to provide your solution in a single C program named memory.c. Your simulator needs to accomplish the following: 1. Simulate a memory management unit (MMU), which translates logical addresses to physical addresses 1. Translating a logical address to physical address in this setup will involve the following: Check TLB for the page. If page not found in the TLB, check the page table if the page exists in memory. If it does not, then a page fault occurs. 2. Handling page faults involves copy the page from the backing store to memory. Since logical address space is larger than physical address space, a page request might involve replacing a page in memory with the new page.

Please, use the Newmark method for β = 1/4 (average acceleration) to compute the responses. Create three plots with three lines in each plot. The first plot will have the peak accelerations in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis.
