B. Verbos: A rotina da Ana. Unlike you, Ana is not on vacation in Brasília. She is spending her break in Columbus. She wants to share her routine with you, though. She sent you some pictures of her daily activities. What does she mean? First, look at the pictures that Ana sent you. Then, select the appropriate verb from the options. Lastly, conjugate the verb in the present tense according to the subject. (6 pts. each: 1/2 pt. for correct verb, 1/2 pt. for correct conjugation; 6 pts. total)   1. Ana [1] (acordar/dormir/sair) todas as manhãs, às 7:00  2. Ana e suas amigas [2] (conversar/sentar/esperar) o ônibus. 3. Ana [3] (trabalhar/estudar/organizar) no escritório da universidade todas as manhãs. 4. Ana e eu [4] (fotografar/telefonar/conversar) por telefone todos os dias.  5. Ana [5] (ir/vir/visitar) ao supermercado comprar comida. 6. Ana e sua namorada [6] (sair para/fazer/comer) o jantar todas as noites.

Real_time_and_Multimedia_1a TS-Linux   1. Assume that you are playing a game (G) on a TS-Linux OS. The game uses ONE-SHOT timer with an overshoot parameter of To. The timer event goes off at time 0. Assume the following: When the timer goes off, the kernel has just started a critical section of duration Tk. For taking the necessary gaming action for the timer event, the video game application (G) has a processing time of Tg and priority P1. In addition to Tg, the application will need to make a blocking call to a Window Manager process (W) has a processing time of Tw and priority P3. When the timer goes off, the scheduling queue is empty. The priorities are ordered as P1 > P2 > P3 > P4 > …. With P1 being the highest priority. There are no periodic timers in the system. Duration of the scheduling time and interrupt handing time are negligible. Note that the given image is simply for your reference, and that the time Th has nothing to do with the solution. Only use the variables given in the text in your solutions.   (a) [4 points] What is the maximum latency from time 0 for G to complete the action in response to the timer interrupt? Show your work.

Write an SQL query to list all country names (sorted alphabetically) and the name of the region. Select C.name, R.name From countries C, regions R Where C. [region_id] = R. region_id [order] [by]  C.name;

Does this change your calculation in the previous part of the question?

Which of the following changes would you expect to cause positive feedback, increasing global warming?

From seminars, match each concept with its correct definition. (IR = Information Retrieval)

Internet_Scale_Computing_1a Giant-Scale Services   1. You are building a planetary store, where:  The key is a unique sensor ID for each sensor deployed across the world. The value is information collected by the sensor such as environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, pollution levels), industrial data (machine status, output), and more. Your design aims to provide high availability and fast access time to process real-time queries to the sensor data store.   You have 5 data centers, each with an identical replica of the store.  Each data center has 100,000 servers.  The store is partitioned into 10,000 equal shards and stored on 10,000 servers .  Each shard is replicated in 10 servers.  You intend to provide “full harvest” for each query and fully exploit the available parallelism for processing each query.  A server assigned to a query is dedicated to that query for the duration of the query processing.   (a) [3 points] Assuming no failures, how many simultaneous queries can you process in each data center? Justify your answer.
