These Boolean expressions could be then simplified by taking each digit of the binary numbers as a separate Boolean variables, so the variables A, B, C, and D represented the first, second, third, and fourth digits of the Figure 4

Building a Load-bearing Truss for Introductory Statics Course Ahmet Coskun, Mehdi Abedi, and Kai-tak Wan* Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115Abstract The term project for Statics is to design and construct a load bearing truss. Groups with 5members use toothpicks and wood glue to construct a 3-dimensional structure to hold ahemispherical metal shell above a circular hole in a substrate. A universal testing machine appliesan external compression until the truss collapses or reaches its maximum load capacity. Each trusswill be evaluated based on ultimate breakage load, failure mode analysis, cost analysis

tissuemeasurements increase during pregnancy for all women, not just those with GDM (Gunderson etal., 2008), and fasting glucose levels are also affected by the gestational age, dropping during thefirst trimester, remaining constant in the second trimester, and again dropping in the thirdtrimester (Angueira et al., 2015). While our models did use current gestational age as a feature,future work on a larger dataset might use it more explicitly, perhaps by developing separatemodels for use at different gestational ages.ReferencesAngueira, A.

China implemented “health code” systems, which assignedneighborhoods and citizens a specific health code meant to indicate their risk of having beenexposed to COVID-19. These health code systems were hosted on the popular apps WeChat andAlipay, each with billions of users. Some experts argued that China’s use of mobile applicationswas essential in its successful combat against COVID-19. In this study, a public survey and an expert interview guide were created after literatureand background research. The survey and interview guide were revised multiple times

This work is to investigate an efficient method of DSP surface preparation toprotect it from damage during the photoresist spinning, soft and hard bake, and etchingprocesses. Specifically, during the photoresist spinning, suction from the chuck of the photoresistspinner which holds the DSP in position often damages the reverse side of the polished surface.If the surface and pattern feature on the reverse side is not preserved correctly, it always leads tograssing and other
