I'm working on implementing a balanced binary search tree for my data structures class. I understand the theory behind AVL trees and red-black trees, but I'm struggling with the actual implementation in Java. Specifically, I'm having trouble with the rotation operations. Has anyone implemented this before and could share some code examples or resources?

I know that the naive recursive implementation of Fibonacci has exponential time complexity, but I'm struggling to derive it mathematically. Can someone explain the recurrence relation and how we arrive at O(2^n) time complexity? I'd appreciate a step-by-step explanation.

I have a database table with customer information, and I suspect there are duplicate records. What's the most efficient SQL query to find duplicates based on email address? The table has about 500,000 records, so performance is important.

I'm studying for my operating systems exam and I'm still confused about the difference between a process and a thread. I understand that threads are lighter weight, but could someone explain the key differences in terms of memory allocation, communication, and context switching?
