  • What programming languages are vulnerable to this type of attack.

Post between 100-300. Use your own words. Do not copy the work of another students.

The Meat Lady Dilemma

 Mrs Parker owns and operates a meat shop that processes and packages parcels of minced meat that is being sold to schools in the US. Her scales are all calibrated to perform measurement in pounds, however when the parcels are packaged, they need to be labelled in ounces. Mrs Parker has established that 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces. In each production cycle, 250 packs of meat are processed and the weight in pounds varies for each package. Mrs Parker is also interested in knowing the total costs, the total revenue and the total profit of each production run, given that the costs to produce and package an ounce of meat is US $0.25 and that the selling price of an ounce of meat is US $0.55. Because you are a budding Software Engineer, she has sought your assistance in creating a software solution that can be used within the business establishment. 

Required: A. Specifically identify the type of control structure which is needed to process the meat in each production run and provide a reason for your choice (4 marks) 

B. Your solution needs to represent the meat packages which are to be processed, how would you represent this appropriately in your program and what has guided your choice?  (4 marks) 

C. Construct a C# program that will solve Mrs Parker’s dilemma by making use of the choices made above. 

i. Implementation of the control structure to process the meat (2 marks) 

ii. Implementation of the meat packages to be processed (2 marks) 

iii. Calculation of costs, revenues, and profits (6 marks) 

iv. Appropriate program outputs displayed to the user 

Prim's Algorithm

  

The problem we can solve using a priority queue is that of computing a minimum spanning tree. Given a fully connected undirected graph where each edge has a weight, we would like to find the set of edges with the least total sum of weights. Using the scenario: 

You are an engineer and you are trying to figure out the best way to arrange for internet access in your Town. There are N (3 ≤ N ≤ 25) blocks in your town connected by M (N ≤ M ≤ 25) various streets and you can walk between any two streets in the town by traversing some sequence of roads. 

However, you have got a limited budget and have determined that the cheapest way to arrange for internet access is to build some fiber-optic cables along existing roadways. You have a list of the costs of laying fiber-optic cable down along any particular street, and want to figure out how much money you will need to successfully complete the project, meaning that, at the end, every street will be connected along some sequence of fiber-optic cables. 

As a computer scientist, you heard about Prim’s algorithm in one of your programming classes. This algorithm is exactly the solution to your problem, but it requires a priority queue.

  

· Write a program to create using a priority queue to implement a solution of Prim’s algorithm.

  

Input data describing the graph will be arranged as a list of edges (streets and their fiber-optic cost) and for the program we will covert that to an adjacency list: for every node in the graph in the town, we will have a list of the nodes (streets) it’s connected to and the weight (cost of building fiber-optic cable along). 

adj[0] → (1, 1.0) (3, 3.0)

adj[1] → (0, 1.0) (2, 6.0) (3, 5.0) (4, 1.0) . . .

FORENSIC DESIGN ASSESSMENTS

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.

For this task, take a close look at the interactivity choices:

  1. Start by identifying all the interactive features deployed, listing them under the headers of either data or presentation adjustments
  2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these interactive features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
  3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
  4. Also, considering the range of potential interactive features and functions, what would you do differently or additionally?

Response

Must respond to a minimum of two other learners during the week.

Your responses to other students must be more than a simple “Good job” or “I agree with your post”. They must also not just be “Let me add to your post…” Instead, your responses to each other should do three things:

1. Acknowledge the other student’s post with some form of recognition about what they posted
2. Relate their posting to something you have learned or are familiar with
3. Add to the conversation by asking additional questions about their post, or discussing their topic further

Remember, this is a discussion forum. Your engagement with each other should be similar to how you would speak with each other if you were seated at the same table talking. Plagiarism in the discussion will not be tolerated.

You must also use a scholarly source

Research Paper

Considering the importance of data in organization, it is absolutely essential to secure the data present in the database. What are the strategic and technical security measures for good database security? Be sure to discuss at least one security model to properly develop databases for organizational security. Create a diagram of a security model for your research paper.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
