System and server may have delayed data because of update not in timely. 2. Business continuity can be interrupted by disruptions that are minor and temporary, but some may also result in the destruction of data. 3.

    Kenny is a teenager who has experienced uncontrollable bodily and facial movements, various uncontrolled vocalizations, and other compulsions such as excessive hand washing and wringing. He has been treated with Clonidine, Haldol, pimozide and buspirone. This patient was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome. Clonidine is a vasodilator that allows for blood to flow more easily to the brain. This lowers blood pressure and helps treat the tics the patient experiences(1). Haldol and Pimozide are antipsychotics that blocks dopamine receptors in the brain. This would help treat the compulsive behaviors (2). Buspirone is used to treat anxiety disorders. It binds to serotonin receptors in the brain. This would also help treat Kenny’s tics and behavioral issues.…

Whether the network is used to transmit data from computer to computer or server to server, transfer goods across the county, or deliver liquid flows to the desired location, networks must be studied to find the most efficient path for the given media to travel across.
