Businesses allocate resources for their best and most productive uses. the more a resource, the more costly it will be. a manufacturer that requires scarce and costly resources is likely to charge for its products.

Write the pseudocode for the following: a function called fahrenheittocelsius that accepts a real fahrenheit temperature, performs the conversion, and returns the real celsius temperature. a function called celsiustofahrenheit that accepts a real celsius temperature, performs the conversion, and returns the real fahrenheit temperature. a main module that asks user to enter a fahrenheit temperature, calls the fahrenheittocelsius function, and displays the celsius temperature with a user-friendly message. it then asks the user to enter a celsius temperature, calls the celsiustofahrenheit function, and displays the fahrenheit temperature with a user-friendly message.

3. bob is arguing that if you use output feedback (ofb) mode twice in a row to encrypt a long message, m, using the same key each time, it will be more secure. explain why bob is wrong, no matter what encryption algorithm he is using for block encryption (15 points).

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a, b,c, d sharing the medium. (a) stations a, b,c, d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful. when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?
