Which of the following is a way that advancements in technology improve humans' ability to measure air quality and protect human health? a. air quality data gathered by new instruments can be used to reduce exposure to pollutants. b. new technologies enable natural and human-made pollution sources to be located and monitored. c. air quality data gathered by new instruments can be used to predict trends in pollution over time. d. new technologies allow governments to make informed decisions about the regulation of pollution. (choose more than one)

Design a pos circuit that displays the letters a through j on a seven-segment indicator. the circuit has four inputs w, x, y, and z which represent the last 4 bits of the uppercase ascii code for the letter to be displayed. thus, if wxyz = 0001 then "a" will be displayed. (any answer with 22 or fewer gates and inverters, not counting any for the inputs, is acceptable)

The volume v and paper surface area a of a conical paper cup are given by where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. a. by eliminating h, obtain the expression for a as a function of r and v. b. create a user-de ned function that accepts r as the only argument and computes a for a given value of v. declare v to be global within the function. c. for v ! 10 in.3 , use the function with the fminbnd function to compute the value of r that minimizes the area a. what is the corresponding value of the height h? investigate the sensitivity of the solution by plotting v versus r. how much can r vary about its optimal value before the area increases 10 percent above its minimum value?
