...Nt1310 9/17/2014 Unit 1 Assignment 1 Cell phones – Cell phones use data networks to communicate over radio frequencies. The frequencies that they use are also shared with television, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Landline phones – Landline phones use voice networks only because they do not need as much speed as anything else. Normal house phones use approximately 10 MB/s which is all that voice networks handle. SMS/Text messaging – Text messaging uses data networks because they can also be sending media like pictures and video. The other reason that I believe that text messaging uses data networking is because it is faster. Fax machines – Fax machines use voice because they only transmit exactly what is on the paper. It is not being transformed into little packets and sent over the internet to another place; it is just sent from one place to another through the phone line. Pagers – Pagers use the same as cell phones and that is data networks because it is wireless, and does not have to be plugged into anything. Pagers are not that common due to the cell phone industry growing swiftly. VOIP – VOIP as it says in the name of it uses a data network. It uses IP for talking so that the communication is more secure and not many people can tap in as easily as people can over regular phones. Skype/Facetime – Skype and facetime both use data networks to communicate because you are sharing video with somebody else. You are also receiving video, and video cannot be shared over a voice...

...Current facilities ICT has to offer in Medicine 2.0 Monitoring Patients 2.0.1 In the case of when a patient is hospitalized, they often need careful care and monitoring closely. Which is something, not possible for both nurses and doctors to do as keeping a check on the patients 24/7 continuously is very time consuming and both doctors and nurses have other patients and work to attend to. So, as an alternative computerized monitors are used, where patients are connected to a sensor which receives and sends information about the condition & status of the patient to the computerized monitor. Some of the things which the sensors monitor are Pulse rate (Heart beats per minute), Temperature, Breathing rate (Breaths per minute), Blood oxygen levels and blood pressure. In the case where there is a medical emergency, the computer sends warnings to the hospital experts or the ones which are in reach at the moment by either Loud Buzzer/Alarming sound. This is an effective and efficient way of informing as it terminates nurses and doctors extra work of keeping check of patient’s condition for prolonged hours. Patients data can be produced by a small printer attached to the computer if needed for use in the future or if the patient wants it. Diagnosing Illness 2.0.2 Body scans 2.0.2.1 Surgery sounds scary and tempting to most of us but sometimes doctors need to take a look inside a patient’s body in order to continue or do some tests. With the introduction of ITC, there is no longer...

Spam delivers viruses and other nasty software that harm the computer system. 1a. Protection: To avoid unwanted emails, a spam filter is the best solution it detects unwanted emails and stops the spam from going into the user’s inbox. Never reply to spam and delete spam without opening it. 2. Wireless Systems: MAC association: A Media Access Control address is a physical address associated with the Network adapter that is used to facilitate communications. On the second OSI layer which is the Data link layer, it is important that the Network Adapter communicates with another Network adapter, they communicate with each other by swapping MAC addresses. A MAC address is a 48 bit binary number which is a sequence of 12 hexadecimal digits eg. "a2:34:4b:66:4c:01"...

...NT1310 Physical Networking Unit 6 Exercise 1 Thomas Westbrook Due Date: Unit 6 Exercise 1: Connector Installation Twisted -Pair Cable * Measure the cable you want to put ends on, using a cable cutter trim off the excess * Use a cable stripper to strip about 1 ½ inches of the jacket from the end, then rotate the stripper around the cable twice to cut through the jacket * Remove the stripper and pull the trimmed jacket from the cable, so that you can see the inner conductors. Separate any visible jacket slitting cords that are present, trim it backto the edge of the jacket. * Untwist all the inner conductor pairs and spread them apart so that you can see each individual conductor * Line up the individual conductors so that the color matches the color-coding standard you are using * Trim the conductors so that the ends are even with each other, make sure that the jacketof the cable will be inside the connector. The total length of the exposed connectors after trimming should be no longer then ½ inch to 0.625 inches * Insert the conductors into the connector, make sure that all conductors line up properly with the pins as they were in the previous step. If they don’t line up, try again. Make sure to do this step carefully, it’s the last one before crimping * Carefully insert the connector and cable into the crimping tool.

...Unit Five Jerrie Gomez Kaplan University Carrier Sense Multiple Access Both protocols listen for transmission, and Difference Between.com. (2011) explains that CSMA/CA is proactive, and CSMA/CD is reactive. Carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD) is a protocol that deals with collisions after they occur; once a collision is identified, data transmission is stopped, and then retransmitted once listening to the network proves there is not transmitting data. Carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) works to detect and prevent collisions before they occur; by listening to the network for any traffic. CSMA/CD is an IEEE 802.3 standardization and CSMA/CA is IEEE 802.11, therefore CSMA/CA is better suited for wireless networks. Collision detection (CD) is easily detected on wired networks, which is why collision avoidance (CA) should be used on wireless networks, as wireless access points cannot accurately detect collisions. Price versus Performance Fast ethernet, introduced in 1995, is capable of carrying data at speeds of 100...

... This paper concentrates on the book Strength Finder 2.0 and within this book they provide you with an assessment test that targets you’re top five strengths. The book gives a description of each strength, and provides a scenario to clarify its meaning. The importance of this assessment will help you distinguish your top strengths and what you can do to apply in the work place. I will share with you my top five strengths, its description, my thoughts, and how I can use those strengths to better my future as a leader. My first strength is achiever, which did not surprise me because I am hard working, and when I set my eyes on a goal I try my hardest until that goal is reached. The achiever theme explains my drive, I have a constant need for achievement. By the end of the day I must always achieve something in order to feel good about myself, and when I do not achieve anything I feel dissatisfied with myself. This strength strongly describes who I am, and no matter what I am doing I feel that this strength applies to any activity that I am doing. I feel that my previous job is a perfect example of my achiever theme. I was a dishwasher/line cook at a restaurant called Sunset Grille and I started working there when I was 21. I started out as dishwasher only making minimum wage, which felt degrading to me, but a job is a job I told myself, and at least I was making money. I did, however strived to make more money; I asked my boss how I could do that...

...that there wasn’t a set install that came provided, instead you click the specific .exe file to use that particular tool. After trial and error we decided that it would be easiest to use the rcrack_gui.exe in order to crack the password for this assignment. The next thing we did was copy the hash into a text file and then renamed the extension to .pwdump so that it could be accessed by our program. Next we noticed that we had no rainbow tables, so we followed the instructions on: http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/rainbow-tables-create-use-them-crack-passwords-0131470/ By using Terminal/CMD we were able to invoke the provided rtgen.exe file by navigating to the folder containing it and using the command: rtgen md5 loweralpha-numeric 1 7 0 3800 33554432 0, this command essentially created a small rainbow table with lowercase alphanumeric values in it. The process of creating the rainbow table took about 30 minutes even though it was a smaller size file. From after this we needed to sort the rainbow table in order to use it with Rainbowcrack. Once we sorted the rainbow table we were able to try using Rainbowcrack in order to crack the passwords. We loaded the hash that we were provided by using the load LM and NTLM hash from PWDUMP file. We decided to load the same file twice (once for LM and NTLM respectively), since we were not completely sure which has was used (NTLM being Microsoft's successor to LM). After loading the file we then chose the search rainbow table option...

... God created man in his own image, and since limits do not bound God, the athletic limit of of humans remains undetermined. In Lab 2, the progression of the men’s 100 meter freestyle world record engages people to ponder the possibility to human performance and how fast a man can swim the event. Since the early 1900’s, the world record has steadily decreased and the mathematical model provided in the lab accurately represents some of the historical time period, but the model appears to limit human performance to 44 in the race. Predicting the times around 1980-2010 very closely, the model then slopes to a near horizontal line above y = 44. Although the future of the potential time remains in question, other historical evidence persuades me to believe man will swim faster than the model limits. For each question, my personal experience, mathematical knowledge, and educated guesses led me to a result denying the limit of 44 seconds. My own personal career as a swimmer has taught me the necessary technique and physical condition required to swim fast, and the factors determining the speed of a swimmer lead me to suggest a limit faster than 44 seconds exist. For questions 2-5 historical data and performance provided analysis and tables for the model in the graphing window. By graphing the equation, a table on the calculator provided the estimation for the world record each year, and the estimation proved accurate for quite a few periods. Although accurate for some time, the graph...

...Administering a wireless network can be very troublesome for anyone involved, but with technology like controller based wireless systems, this task can be made easier to configure. Wireless networks are used to connect computers, devices such as smart phones and tablet wirelessly by relaying data traffic through access points (AP), with little used of wired infrastructure. A few AP can be suitable for a small setting such a two story building, but in large enterprises such as a campus, far more APs would be required. This type of setting would require the wireless technician to configure each AP which can span from more than 100. Luckily Wireless controllers were introduced to help alleviate what would seem like a long tiring process by being the centralised device that helps to manage the deployment of large scale wireless networks and access points. First, wireless controllers provide centralised authentication, load balancing fail over and high security. By eliminating the whole idea of MAC address table and constant update for every single access point on the network, this meant that once an access point has been added to the wireless controller it will be automatically configured to the specifications of the network. Additionally, wireless based controllers offers load balancing by automatically directing traffic away from an access point with high traffic to one with less traffic. The controllers also perform failover capabilities by choosing another neighbouring access...

...ADAMTS-13 is a protease and it’s role is to cleave vWF (ulvWF). ADAMTS-13 INH ELISA allows us to detect the human autoantibodies (IgG) which is found in plasma and or serum against the ADAMTS-13. These autoantibodies inhibit ADAMTS-13 activity, hence non-cleaved ULvW gather in the plasma – one of the main causes of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). TECHNOZYM® ADAMTS-13 INH test allows us to differentiate between autoantibodies (acquired) and congenital (gene polymorphisms) TTP when paired to an activity assay. It is also used to control efficacy of plasma exchange therapy. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is an uncommon blood disorder which is defined as clotting in the small blood vessels of the body which causes low platelet count (thromboses). The disease can also cause some of the following when TTP progresses: hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, neurologic abnormalities, fever, and acute renal damage/failure. Assays have been developed to measure von Willebrand factor cleaving enzyme (ADAMTS-13) activity. ADAMTS-13 activity can be low, and inhibitors to its activity can often be demonstrated in patients with TTP. These are confirmatory tests, as the results are not returned in time to make a prompt diagnosis. There is debate over whether the ADAMTS-13 activity assay can help in the management of patients with TTP. It does not appear to predict who will respond to plasma exchange. Studies have shown that the multiple domains of ADAMTS-13 are...
