Answer:
1. tablets are less portable than smartphones
2. smartphones are considered necessities and tablets are considered luxuries
3. smartphones are personal devices; tablets are usually shared
4. Tablets have larger screens for more extensive use of applications as opposed to the smaller, less versatile mobile phone screens.
Use the following rules:
- The sum of currents that enter and exit a node (junction) is always zero. So if you have 3 wires that connect, through one flows 2A, the other 3A, then the third must deliver 5A (taking the direction into account!)
- The sum of voltages across different components should always add up. So if you have a battery of 10V with two unknown resistors, and over one of the resistors is 4V, you know the other one has the remaining 6V.
- With resistors, V=I*R must hold.
With these basic rules you should get a long way!
Solution:
The process of transaction can guarantee the reliability of business applications. Locking resources is widely used in distributed transaction management (e.g; two phase commit, 2PC) to keep the system consistent. The locking mechanism, however, potentially results in various deadlocks. In service oriented architecture, the deadlock problem becomes even worse because multiple transactions try to lock shared resources in the unexpectable way due to the more randomicity of transaction requests, which has not been solved by existing research results. In this paper, we investigate how to prevent local deadlocks, caused by the resource competition among multiple sub-transactions of a gl obal transaction, and global deadlocks from the competition among different global transactions. We propose a replication based approach to avoid the local deadlocks, and a timestamp based approach to significantly mitigate the global deadlocks. A general algorithm is designed for both local and global deadlock prevention. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our deadlock prevention approach. Further, it is also proved that our approach provides higher system performance than traditional resource allocation schemes.
This is the required answer.
I’d say monthly. It probably wouldn’t kill you to do it every three months though.
