2) Consider the detection gain for the linear modulation systems, defined by Fig. of M. = \frac{SNR_o}{SNR_i}, where $SNR_i$ represents the input SNR before demodulation while $SNR_o$ the output SNR after demodulation. a) A coherent demodulation is assumed for the DSB-SC signal and an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is introduced in the channel. Clearly explain the reason why the demodulation process provides the detection gain of 2. (Hint: use the frequency-domain concept.) b) With the same assumptions as in part (a), clearly explain the reason why the detection gain reduces to 1 for the SSB signal.

A study examined the empirical relationship between frictional shear stress and pressure in macro-scale contact and sliding. Amonton's law suggests that the interfacial shear stress is proportional to the average contact pressure with the coefficient of proportionality given by the coefficient of friction. However, adhesion between the two surfaces causes the relationship between interfacial shear stress and contact pressure to be linear rather than proportional. The friction tests were performed with a ball-on-flat reciprocating tribometer. Tests were run with one stainless steel ball and one alumina ball. The substrate material in all instances was stainless steel. The DataFrame shear contains the following variables Stress - interfacial shear strees in MPa Pressure - average contact pressure in MPa Material - material of ball used in test (Steel, Alumina) The edited output below shows the results of a linear regression fit in python with interfacial shear stress as the response and average contact pressure and material as explanatory variables. import statsmodels.formula.api as smf Model = smf.ols('Stress ~ Pressure + Material', shear).fit() print(Model.fit.summary()) OLS Regression Results Dep.

Suppose that the total cost (in dollars) for a product is given by $C(x) = 1600 + 180 \ln(2x + 1)$ where $x$ is the number of units produced. (a) Find the marginal cost $MC$ function. $MC = $ (b) Find the marginal cost when 180 units are produced. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ Interpret your result. \text{It will cost approximately this amount to make the next unit.} \text{This is the total cost of producing 180 units.} \text{The profit from the next unit will be approximately this amount.} \text{This is the total profit from producing 180 units.} (c) Total cost functions always increase because producing more items costs more. What then must be true of the marginal cost function? $MC \le 0$ $MC = 0$ $MC < 0$ $MC \ge 0$ $MC > 0$ Does it apply in this problem? Yes No

1. (5 points) Consider the graph below. The start state is A, and the goal is H. Red numbers represent the cost estimate from a given vertex to the goal state. Black numbers are actual costs (weights) associated with an edge. Which states must be visited by A* as it finds the cheapest path to the goal?

What is d=? Ethyl alcohol (density p = 789 kg/m^3, viscosity = 1.19 x 10^-3 PaÂ·s) flows through a pipe of diameter D = 60 mm in a refinery. The pressure drop across the Venturi meter used to measure the flow rate Q is p = 4 kPa when the flow rate is Q = 0.003 m^3/s. Figure 1: The Venturi meter used to measure the flow rate.
