This paper considers minimization of incompletely specified multi-valued functions using functional decomposition. While functional decomposition was originally created for the minimization of logic circuits, this paper uses the decomposition process for both machine learning and logic synthesis of multi-valued functions. As it turns out, the minimization of logic circuits can be used in the co...

There is a need to convert non-reversible functions to their corresponding reversible functions to be realized as reversible cascades. The original MMD (D.M.Miller, D. Maslov, and G.W.Dueck) algorithm for synthesis of reversible functions using cascades of reversible gates [1] can be modified to allow for the inclusion of “don't cares” within the given function's truth table (reversible or irre...

Background: The primary purpose of this literature review is to investigate different views of elective surgery management during the COVID-19 pandemic. In other words, the guidelines about diseases prevention and their proper management during performing elective surgeries have been reviewed. Materials and Methods: Current articles related to COVID-19 and practicing elective surgeries in diff...
