...power can be measured in two ways: on the linear scale, by the number of watts that are being transmitted; and on a relative scale, by the number of decibels (dBs) instead of watts. Decibel milliwatt (dBm) is the logarithmic power ratio (in dB) of the measured power in milliwatts referenced to one milliwatt (mW). Notice that the reference point is specified as 1 mW = 0 dBm. 3’s and 10’s rules are shortcuts for estimating the increase or decrease of these power levels. In this lab, students will practice basic RF calculations, including · converting from mW to dBm; · converting from dBm to mW; and · estimating power levels using the 3’s and 10’s rules. Task 1: Converting between dBm and mW Applying the 3’s and 10’s rules, the relationship between dBm and mW is estimated as shown in the following (partial) table. 3’s rule|10’s rule| ……|……| 0.125 mW = -9 dBm|0.001 mW = -30 dBm| 0.25 mW = -6 dBm|0.01 mW = -20 dBm| 0.5 mW = -3 dBm|0.1 mW = -10 dBm| 1 mW = 0 dBm|1 mW = 0 dBm| 2 mW = 3 dBm|10 mW = 10 dBm| 4 mW = 6 dBm|100 mW = 20 dBm| 8 mW = 9 dBm|1,000 mW = 30 dBm| ……|……| Notice that as the mW value increases or decreased by the factor of 10, the dBm value increases and decrease by adding or subtracting 10. As the mW value doubles or halves, the corresponding dBm value increases and decrease by adding or...

... * Real-world entity − A modern DBMS is more realistic and uses real-world entities to design its architecture. It uses the behaviour and attributes too. For example, a school database may use students as an entity and their age as an attribute. * Less redundancy − DBMS follows the rules of normalization, which splits a relation when any of its attributes is having redundancy in values. * Consistency − There exist methods and techniques, which can detect attempt of leaving database in inconsistent state. A DBMS can provide greater consistency as compared to earlier forms of data storing applications like file-processing systems. * Query Language − DBMS is equipped with query language, which makes it more efficient to retrieve and manipulate data. * ACID Properties − DBMS follows the concepts of Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (normally shortened as ACID). These concepts are applied on transactions, which manipulate data in a database. ACID properties help the database stay healthy in multi-transactional environments and in case of failure. * Multiuser and Concurrent Access − DBMS supports multi-user environment and allows them to access and manipulate data in parallel. * Multiple views − DBMS offers multiple views for different users. A user who is in the Sales department will have a different view of database than a person working in the Production department. * Security − DBMS offers methods to impose constraints...

...of the real world and is used for specific purposes by one or more groups of users. A DBMS is a generalized software package for implementing and maintaining a computerized database. The database and software together form a database system. We identified several characteristics that distinguish the database approach from traditional fileprocessing applications, and we discussed the main categories of database users, or the actors on the scene.We noted that in addition to database users, there are several categories of support personnel, or workers behind the scene, in a database environment. We presented a list of capabilities that should be provided by the DBMS software to the DBA, database designers, and end users to help them design, administer, and use a database. Then we gave a brief historical perspective on the evolution of database applications.We pointed out the marriage of database technology with information retrieval technology, which will play an important role due to the popularity of the Web. Finally, we discussed the overhead costs of using a DBMS and discussed some situations in which it may not be advantageous to use one. In this chapter we defined a database as a collection of related data, where data means recorded facts. A typical database represents some aspect of the real world and is used for specific purposes by one or more groups of users.

...______________________________________ ------------------------------------------------- Roll No. : ______________________________________ ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- An Introduction to Database Management Systems A database is a collection of related files that are usually integrated, linked or cross-referenced to one another. The advantage of a database is that data and records contained in different files can be easily organized and retrieved using specialized database management software called a database management system (DBMS) or database manager. DBMS Fundamentals A database management system is a set of software programs that allows users to create, edit and update data in database files, and store and retrieve data from those database files. Data in a database can be added, deleted, changed, sorted or searched all using a DBMS. If you were an employee in a large organization, the information about you would likely be stored in different files that are linked together. One file about you would pertain to your skills and abilities, another file to your income tax status, another to your home and office address and telephone number, and another to your annual performance ratings. By cross-referencing these files, someone could change a person's address in one file and it would automatically be reflected in all the other files....

...Notes on DBMS Internals Neil Conway neilc@samurai.com November 10, 2003 Preamble These notes were originally written for my own use while taking CISC-432, a course in DBMS design and implementation at Queen’s University. The textbook used by that class is Database Management Systems, 3rd Edition by Raghu Ramakrishnan and Johannes Gehkre; some of the material below may be specific to that text. This document is provided in the hope that it is useful, but I can’t provide any assurance that any information it contains is in any way accurate or complete. Corrections or additions are welcome. Distribution Terms: This document is released into the public domain. Query Evaluation External Sorting • A DBMS frequently needs to sort data (e.g. for a merge-join, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, etc.) that exceeds the amount of main memory available. In order to do this, an external sort algorithm is used. • 2-Way External Merge Sort: – In the first pass, each page of the input relation is read into memory, sorted, and written out to disk. This creates N runs of 1 page each. – In each successive pass, each run is read into memory and merged with another run, then written out to disk. Since the number of runs is halved with every pass, this requires log2 N passes. Since an additional initial pass is required and each pass requires 2N I/Os, the total cost is: 2N( log2 N + 1) – Thus, we can see that the number of passes we need to make is critical to the overall performance of the sort (since in...

...4. In the section "Disadvantages of File Processing Systems," the statement is made that the disadvantages of file process- ing systems can also be limitations of databases, depending on how an organization manages its databases. First, why do organizations create multiple databases, not just one all- inclusive database supporting all data processing needs? Second, what organizational and personal factors are at work that might lead an organization to have multiple, independently managed databases(and,hence,not completely follow the database approach)? 6.

...ROBOTC Reference Pseudocode & Flow Charts Pseudocode is a shorthand notation for programming which uses a combination of informal programming structures and verbal descriptions of code. Emphasis is placed on expressing the behavior or outcome of each portion of code rather than on strictly correct syntax (it does still need to be reasonable, though). In general, pseudocode is used to outline a program before translating it into proper syntax. This helps in the initial planning of a program, by creating the logical framework and sequence of the code. An additional benefit is that because pseudocode does not need to use a specific syntax, it can be translated into different programming languages and is therefore somewhat universal. It captures the logic and flow of a solution without the bulk of strict syntax rules. Below is some pseudocode written for a program which moves as long as a touch sensor is not pressed, but stops and turns to the right if its sonar detects an object less than 20in away. task main() { while ( touch sensor is not pressed ) { Robot runs forward if (sonar detects object < 20in away) { Robot stops } } } Robot turns right Some intact syntax The use of a while loop in the pseudocode is fitting because the way we read a while loop is very similar to the manner in which it is used in the program. Descriptions There are no actual motor commands in this section of the code, but the pseudocode suggests where...

What are the problems incurred due to this overlap and how these problems can be rectified. Explain with Example. Overlap of candidate key is a type of candidate key which occur in BCNF(Boyce Codd Normal Form). In the difference between 3NF and BCNF example: a 3NF table which doesnot have multiple overlapping candidate keys is gurantted to be in BCNF. Depending on what its functional dependencies are . a 3NF table with two or more overlapping candidate keys may or maynot be in BCNF. Example: The original definition of 1NF was in adequate in some situations. It was not satisfactory for the table: • They had multiple candidate keys • Where the multiple candidate keys were composite • Where the multiple candidate keys overlapped Therefore, a normal form, the BCNF was introduced. We must understand it in tables where...
