I'm going to use & for the "dot" and "->" for "horseshoe"

1.  (B & C) -> D
2.  B
3.  Q -> ~(~C v D)
4.  ~Q = T
/   T
-------------------------------------------------------
5.  B -> (C -> D)                 1       Exportation
6.  C -> D                        5,2     Modus Ponens
7.  ~~(C -> D)                    6       Double Negation
8.  ~Q                            3,7     Modus Tollens
9.  (~Q -> T) & (T -> ~Q)         4       Material Equivalence
10.  ~Q -> T                      9       Simplification
11.  T                            10,8    Modus Ponens
