Design a Merkle Tree for the data blocks D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8. What is the Merkle Root if the hash function H produces the following hash values for each data block: H(D1) =A1, H(D2) = A2, H(D3) = A3, H(D4) = A4, H(D5) = A5, H(D6) = A6, H(D7) = A7, H(D8) = A8?

Bob wants to store a piece of data DDD on the blockchain, ensuring its integrity. To do so, he generates a hash H(D)H(D), which is the cryptographic hash of the data DD. The hash function HH satisfies the following properties: Preimage Resistance: Given a hash hh, it is computationally infeasible to find DD such that H(D)=hH(D) = h. Collision Resistance: It is computationally infeasible to find two different data sets D1≠D2D_1 \neq D_2​ such that H(D1)=H(D2)H(D_1) = H(D_2). Now, consider that Bob stores (D,H(D))(D, H(D)) on the blockchain, and later, Alice retrieves this data. Alice wants to verify the integrity of DD. The integrity check is given by: Integrity Check =True if H(D)==H(D′)Where D′D’ is the retrieved data and H(D′)H(D’) is the hash of the retrieved data. What must Alice check to ensure the integrity of the data?

You are running a program to calculate an approximation of an integral using multiple threads. The program uses a mutex (i.e. #pragma omp critical) to protect access to a shared variable (sum) where each thread accumulates partial results. You observe the following behavior when increasing the number of threads: Performance improves significantly as the number of threads increases, up to the number of available CPU cores. However, beyond the number of available CPU cores, performance remains roughly constant, even as more threads are added. Explain why the performance of the program plateaus when the number of threads exceeds the number of CPU cores. Describe how the use of mutexes impacts thread performance in this scenario. Suggest one optimization that could reduce the performance impact of using a mutex in this program.

During a manic episode, a patient with bipolar disorder 1 goes to the dining room and begins to throw food and dishes.  The patient is hyperactive, restless, and disorganized and verbal intervention is ineffective. The patient’s behavior poses a substantial risk of harm to others. Staff escorts the patient to the patient’s room to dine alone. What is the rationale for this action?

Suppose that around a week ago the great  rewall of China somehow partitioned the Bitcoin network and also undermined NTP (the network time protocol), leading some miners to mine blocks with timestamps several months in the future. As a result, there was a fork and the following two branches were created:   Chain A has 500 blocks since the fork. Because of incorrect timestamps at the time of the last di culty adjustment, the last 498 of these were mined with a target of 2182.   Chain B has 1,000 blocks since the fork. All have plausible timestamps, and all were mined with a target of 2184. Once the network partition heals and miners reset their clocks, which of the two chains will they continue to mine on? Choose the best answer. A. Chain A will be accepted by all miners. B. Chain B will be accepted by all miners. C. Different miners will continue to mine on both chains. Justify your answer:
