Consider the transactions T1, T2, and T3 and the schedules S1 and S2 given below.

T1 : r1 (X) ; r1 (Z) ; w1 (X) ; w1 (Z)

T2 : r2 (X) ; r2 (Z) ; w2 (Z)

T3 : r3 (X) ; r3 (X) ; w3 (Y)

S1: r1(X); r3(Y); r3(X); r2(Y); r2(Z); w3(Y); w2(Z); r1(Z); w1(X); w1(Z)

S2: r1(X); r3(Y); r2(Y); r3(X); r1(Z); r2(Z); w3(Y); w1(X); w2(Z); w1(Z)

Which one of the following statements about the schedules is TRUE?

A prime attribute of a relation scheme $$R$$ is an attribute that appears

Consider the following combinational function block involving four Boolean variables $$x, y, a,$$
$$b$$ where $$x, a, b$$ are inputs and $$y$$ is the output.
Which one of the following digital logic blocks is the most suitable for implementing this function?

Let $$ \oplus $$ denote the exclusive $$OR\left( {XOR} \right)$$ operation. Let $$'1'$$ and $$'0'$$ denote the binary constants. Consider the following Boolean expression for $$F$$ over two variables $$P$$ and $$Q$$:
$$F\left( {P,Q} \right) = \left( {1 \oplus P} \right) \oplus \left( {P \oplus Q} \right) \oplus \left( {P \oplus Q} \right) \oplus \left( {Q \oplus 0} \right)$$

The equivalent expression for $$F$$ is
