A Respiratory Therapist is performing spirometry on a patient. How close to each other do the test results for a forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 second need to be in order for them to be considered accurate?

The FEV 1 is the best PFT result used to differentiate between restrictive and obstructive lung disease?

What is the functional significance of the axon hillock?

The MAC defined in 802.11 may fragment a MSDU into several fragments before the transmission. For each fragment received, the receiver should send out an ACK. Assuming that there are two fragment frames (Frag_1 & Frag_2) with two corresponding ACK frames (ACK_1 & ACK_2).  How is the ACK frames (ACK_1 & ACK_2) might be different from the ACK frames used for non-fragmented MAC frame transmission?  Hint:  start with the “duration field” in each ACK frame.
