The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layer 3 (Network Layer) is one of the layers that performs packet segmentation. The OSI Layer 3 is roughly equivalent to the Internet Layer of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) model, and Layer 4 (Transport Layer) of the OSI model is roughly equivalent to the Host-to-Host layer of the TCP/IP model. The above two layers perform network segmentation. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:Describe in detail how packets are segmented by the Host-to-Host Layer (Transport Layer) and Internet Layer of the TCP/IP model.Do all packets arrive at their destination in the order in which they were segmented and transmitted? Why or why not? Describe how segmented packets are rearranged or reassembled at the packets' destination to ensure that received segmented packets match the order in which they were segmented and transmitted.How are errors handled during transmission of segmented packets?What is the difference between a TCP segment and an IP packet?Please answer the above questions to write your paper of 4–5 pages. As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic information technology (IT) articles or real-life IT findings that are not found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA style for all cited sources, including your reference page. Please include the following elements in your paper of 4–5 pages:A title page A report that includes the following: An introduction to the contents of the report Detailed explanations about the items listed regarding network segmentation, error handling, TCP segments, and TCP packets.Please cite your references in APA format.

The purpose of this assignment is to solve business problems using linear optimization techniques and interpret the results to determine optimal solutions for business problems.Using specified data files, chapter example files, and templates from the “Topic 5 Student Data, Template, and Example Files” topic material, complete Chapter 14, Problems 79, 80, 81, 86, and 89 from the textbook. Use Microsoft Excel’s Solver Add-In to complete these problems. For all problems except 89, run the Solver’s Answer and Sensitivity Reports. Interpret and summarize the key results. 79. A bus company believes that it will need the following numbers of bus drivers during each of the next five years: 60 drivers in year 1; 70 drivers in year 2; 50 drivers in year 3; 65 drivers in year 4; 75 drivers in year 5. At the beginning of each year, the bus company must decide how many drivers to hire or fire. It costs $4000 to hire a driver and $2000 to fire a driver. A driver’s salary is $45,000 per year. At the beginning of year 1 the company has 50 drivers. A driver hired at the beginning of a year can be used to meet the current year’s requirements and is paid full salary for the current year.(use 79_template Excel file) A. Determine how to minimize the bus company’s salary, hiring, and firing costs over the next five years. 80. A pharmaceutical company produces the drug NasaMist from four chemicals. Today, the company must produce 1000 pounds of the drug. The three active ingredients in NasaMist are A, B, and C. By weight, at least 8% of NasaMist must consist of A, at least 4% of B, and at least 2% of C. The cost per pound of each chemical and the amount of each active ingredient in one pound of each chemical are given in the file P14_80.xlsx. It is necessary that at least 100 pounds of chemical 2 and at least 450 pounds of chemical 3 be used. A. Determine the cheapest way of producing today’s batch of NasaMist. 81 A bank is attempting to determine where to invest its assets during the current year. At present, $500,000 is available for investment in bonds, home loans, auto loans, and personal loans. The annual rates of return on each type of investment are known to be the following: bonds, 6%; home loans, 8%; auto loans, 5%; personal loans, 10%. To ensure that the bank’s portfolio is not too risky, the bank’s investment manager has placed the following three restrictions on the bank’s portfolio: The amount invested in personal loans cannot exceed the amount invested in bonds.The amount invested in home loans cannot exceed the amount invested in auto loans.No more than 25% of the total amount invested can be in personal loans. (use 81_template excel file) A. Help the bank maximize the annual return on its investment portfolio. 86. The government is auctioning off oil leases at two sites: 1 and 2. At each site 10,000 acres of land are to be auctioned. Cliff Ewing, Blake Barnes, and Alexis Pickens are bidding for the oil. Government rules state that no bidder can receive more than 40% of the land being auctioned. Cliff has bid $10,000 per acre for site 1 land and $20,000 per acre for site 2 land. Blake has bid $9000 per acre for site 1 land and $22,000 per acre for site 2 land. Alexis has bid $11,000 per acre for site 1 land and $19,000 per acre for site 2 land.(use 86_template excel file) A. Determine how to maximize the government’s revenue. 89. Based on Bean et al. (1987). Boris Milkem’s firm owns six assets. The expected selling price (in millions of dollars) for each asset is given in the file P14_89.xlsx. For example, if asset 1 is sold in year 2, the firm receives $20 million. To maintain a regular cash flow, Milkem must sell at least $20 million of assets during year 1, at least $30 million worth during year 2, and at least $35 million worth during year 3. Determine how Milkem can maximize his total revenue from assets sold during the next three years. To receive full credit on the assignment, complete the following. Ensure that all Solver settings are defined through the use of the Solver dialog box. Ensure that Excel files include the associated cell functions and/or formulas if functions and/or formulas are used. Include a written response to all narrative questions presented in the problem by placing it in the associated Excel file. Include Answer and Sensitivity Reports interpretation and summary of key results. Place each problem in its own Excel file. Ensure that your first and last name are in your Excel file names.

As noted by Kirk (2016), working with data is one of the four stages of the visualization workflow. According to Kirk (2016), “A dataset is a collection of data values upon which a visualization is based.” In this course, we will be using datasets that have already been collected for us. Data can be collected by various collection techniques.Reference: Kirk, Andy. Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design (p. 50). SAGE Publications.Assignment: Summarize 3 data collection techniques (Interviews, Surveys, Observations, Focus Groups, etc.). Compare and contrast the 3 data collection techniques you selected. Lastly, what collection techniques do you prefer and why?
