Journalistic Skills & Critical Thinking
1. Sasha is covering the aftermath of a protest. Which of the following actions best shows her using reactive skills?
- When the police instigate violence, she changes the story to include information about police conduct in the area.
2. In a 24/7 news environment, critical thinking is…
- More important than ever.
3. The best way to find a “big picture” story is to…
- Look for patterns in stories written about a subject.
4. What is the effect of quality journalism

Dynamic Memory Allocation Fundamentals
- Highly parallel applications are common.
- Dynamic memory allocation is ubiquitous.
- Serial memory allocators are inadequate for parallel systems.
Parallel Allocator Requirements
- Speed: As fast as a serial allocator on a single-processor system.
- Scalability: Performance scales linearly with the number of processors.
- False Sharing Avoidance: Does not introduce false sharing of cache lines.
- Low Fragmentation Ratio: Keep the ratio of allocated memory to application-allocated
C Programming Examples: Essential Algorithms
This document provides a collection of fundamental C programming examples, demonstrating common algorithms and data structure manipulations. Each section presents a self-contained C code snippet that you can compile and run to understand core programming concepts.
Prime Number Check
This C program determines if a given integer is a prime number. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

int num,Data Multiplexing: FDM, WDM, and TDM Explained
FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing)
Definition: FDM is a technique where the available bandwidth of a communication channel is divided into several frequency bands. Each frequency band is assigned to a different signal or user. The signals are transmitted simultaneously but on different frequency channels, avoiding interference.
- Key Concept: Different signals are transmitted simultaneously, but each on a different frequency within the available bandwidth.
Process:
- Multiple signals (e.g., voice or
Key Communication Terms Defined
Values – Beliefs that are long-lasting; they dictate attitudes towards people.
Beliefs – A conviction.
Attitude – Causes us to act in a positive and negative way.
Interpersonal Communication – Communication involving at least two people.
Intrapersonal Communication – Communication within oneself.
Small Group Communication – Communication involving at least three people.
Public Communication – Transmission of a message from a single person to numerous people.
Mass Communication – A single sender sends a

Terrestrial Television Amplification Systems
The Amplification Process
A distribution amplifier generates the power required to distribute the signal between all users on a network, mitigating signal losses that occur on their way from the antenna to the TV.
Modifications Required in the Amplification Process
Attenuator
An attenuator is an element that produces signal attenuation. They can be fixed or adjustable. The attenuation is constant throughout the band of the TV/SAT.
Equalizer
An equalizer attenuates
