Explanation of Solution

Physical security:

Physical security is giving protection to physical items or objects or even areas from an unauthorized access. That is, it gives protection physically to people, system, hardware and some resources that are connected with the management.

Main threats to physical security:

Some of the threats to physical security are as follows:

  • Inadvertent act – These are the potential actions of human error or failure, or any other deviations.
  • Deliberate act – It is nothing but the act of spying
  • Acts of god – This threat comes because of nature or some
  • Technical failures – This threat occurs because of failure in hardware or errors.
  • Management failures – Technical obsolescence.

Primary threats are manifested in attacks against the organization:

Inadvertent act – It can be represented by an employee by dropping tea on his/ her laptop.

Deliberate act – This act could be demonstrated by an opponent sneaking into a facility with a camera, or by stealing equipment of a computer or credentials or passwords, etc.

Act of God – This act could be demonstrated when a lightning hits a building or by causing a fire or any other natural disasters.

Technical failures – It can be represented by threat occurs due to hardware failure.

Management failures – Technical obsolescence.

Why is Linux popular? What would make someone choose a Linux OS over others? What makes a server? How is a server different from a workstation? What considerations do you have to keep in mind when choosing between physical, hybrid, or virtual server and what are the reasons to choose a virtual installation over the other options?
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 *…
