One Processor‚ one job type Utilization Analysis Utilization (u) = fraction of time a resource is busy. Calculate u for each resource as shown on following slides. In a network (i.e.‚ system) where jobs flow through multiple resources‚ the one with the highest u is the “bottleneck.” Utilization must be kept below 1 (i.e.‚ 100%)‚ and as we will see later‚ if there is variability then u may need to even be kept significantly below 100%. The system capacity is the job flow rate R that yields

Example: Having demonstrated its versatility as a high-tech newswire‚ Twitter drew the attention of those who would prefer to see certain information suppressed. Synonym: adaptability Explanation: I chose the synonym adaptable because‚ the word used in the example "versatility"‚ shows that Twitter was able to change to fit every person’s needs or personal standards. So‚ I wanted a word that fit in the sentence for a skill. Example: Millions of users attempted to log into Twitter only to be greeted

Goffman’s Dramaturgical approach theory was inspired by William Shakespeare’s writings in which Shakespeare say’s “totus mundus agit histrionem‚” which are Latin for “All the world is a theatre”. In his theory‚ Goffman views individuals as actors in society where “interactions are viewed as performances” (Barnhart‚ A.D.‚) the individual attempts to create an impression on the world in which these impressions “exist regardless of the mental state of the individual” (Barnhart‚ A.D.‚) meaning‚ how the

I have been asked to discuss the possible changes to income that might happen over an adult life course and how such income patterns can affect financial planning for both families and individuals. Over the course of a person’s life they will go through certain changes‚ from being a youth through adolescence and becoming an adult. The thing with the life course is that everyone doesn’t follow the same pattern. Everyone is pretty much guaranteed to grow old as its basic biology but everyone is not

the truth also changes. It means‚ Foucault’s discourse is related to the production of any information that provides knowledge. Once the discourse is created‚ knowledge about some aspect of life is provided. Thus knowledge helps create truth. But‚ Foucault himself admits that such truth is neither true nor false. The power is generated in society by producing the discourses‚ and by constructing truths. Such power is creative. Marxist power is just political and economic whereas Foucauldian power

Foucault’s middle period is characterized by analyses of power: the structure of power within society and its distribution‚ and the way relations of power unfold. The problem is that Foucault seems to imply that all social phenomena‚ from education‚ law‚ policing‚ discipline‚ governance (the institutions that form society’s infrastructure)‚ the apparatuses that engender and affect cultural and familial life‚ are reducible to an analysis of the relations of power operating within. Power is described

An effect of science‚ morality and medicine‚ resulted in the extensive discursion of sex. Science included medicine‚ condemned a lot of aspects of sex to be unhealthy‚ tried figuring out the truth behind it by talking about it as much as they could‚ with every detail possible‚ and included itself into the confession room. They discussed about the perversions of it‚ use perversities of various aspects of sex to conceal it in a way‚ to put it under a category and behind a screen. Treated as
