DeMorgan’s Theorem is one of the most important transformation rules in digital electronics. It is a pair of transformation rules which could be applied in propositional logic and are both valid for rules of inference. It was named after its developer Augustus De Morgan who is a British Mathematician.

Module 6

Study of Sequential Sequence Detectors ELEC201 Digital Electronics Partner Name: Introduction Circuits whose state transitions are controlled by a clock pulse are called synchronous sequential circuits. Other circuits whose state transitions are not controlled by a clock signal are called asynchronous circuits. This lab aims at equipping students with knowledge on synchronous sequential machines. These are machines designed to solve a problem, which requires the output, to be some specific value after a given sequence of input values has been observed. This problem led to the development of two types of machines in the mid-1950s. These machines ...

The Republic of Uganda has not witnessed a period of peace and stability in the entire country. The history of turmoil and instability dates back to the post independence period.

He later was democratically elected for the successive terms. Uganda, therefore, has been on the ...

Americans, as a whole, are tempted to oversimplify matters, especially when it comes to issues of philosophy and religion. Before Western religions came to America, there were many complex rituals that were taken to heart by Catholics and Protestants - strict adherence to Lent, long and dedicated studies of the Bible and its teachings, and more. However, with the religious movements in America, there seems to be a lowering of standards as to what constitutes true religious and philosophical thinking. This oversimplification leads to a relaxed notion of how much critical thinking and scholarship goes into religion and philosophy, opting instead for ...

TCP/IP Framework

TCP/IP stack is a set of hierarchically ordered network protocols. The name of the stack represents a combination of two major protocols – TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol). Apart from them, there are dozens of different protocols in the stack. Currently, TCP/IP protocols are the main ones allowing the Internet existence, as well as functioning of the majority of corporate and local area networks. The history of TCP/IP started in 1967, when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated development of computer network, which was to link a number of universities and research centers, performing orders for the ...

How EMS and medicine community instruction on CPR can improve survival rates

Cardiac arrest refers to the abrupt cessation of cardiac pumping activity which is confirmed by the absence of one, a detectable pulse, two, signs of circulation, three, breathing and finally the lack of a response to stimulation. The immediate management for cardiac arrest entails chest compressions performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation that is delivery of shocks via a defibrillator to stop the ventricular fibrillation that prompted the cardiac arrest. CPR is an essential emergency measure which consists of a series of measures for delivering oxygenated blood to vital organs like the heart and the brain through artificial respiration and manual cardiac ...
