Answer:

Firewall

Explanation:

Generally in English, firewall can be described as a wall or barrier that is meant to prevent fire from spreading.

In computing, firewall refers to a network security system or a piece of computer software that is meant or used to prevent unwanted data to gain access to the system.

The primary function of firewall is to monitor and regulate entry and exist of network traffic based on the security rules that have all already been determined or put in place. It does this by putting in place a barrier among the external network that are trusted or the ones that are not trusted like the internet.

Therefore, firewall is software that acts as a filter to prevent unwanted packets from entering a network.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

a. releasing hormones

Explanation:

The hypothalamus controls the anterior pituitary by means of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). The hormone CRH is encoded by the CRH gene on eighth human chromosome. The anterior pituitary in turn regulates other endocrine glands by means of Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH). These actions form part of the Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal(HPA) axis which is one of the important neuroendocrine systems in humans.

Suppose that the splits at every level of quicksort are in the proportion 1 − α to α where 0 < α ≤ 1/2 is a constant. Show th

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

The minimum depth occurs for the path that always takes the smaller portion of the

split, i.e., the nodes that takes α proportion of work from the parent node. The first

node in the path(after the root) gets α proportion of the work(the size of data

processed by this node is αn), the second one get (2)

so on. The recursion bottoms

out when the size of data becomes 1. Assume the recursion ends at level h, we have

(ℎ) = 1

h = log 1/ = lg(1/)/ lg = − lg / lg

Maximum depth m is similar with minimum depth

(1 − )() = 1

m = log1− 1/ = lg(1/)/ lg(1 − ) = − lg / lg(1 − )
