Abstract The computation of the sine and cosine functions is required in devices ranging from application-specific signal processors to general purpose floating-point units.Even in the latter case, the required functionality can be reduced to computing the sine and/or cosine of multiples of a constant angle.The latency of a sine/cosine generator ca
In the past three decades, there has been a sweeping trend in Western and developed countries worldwide to transform the vertically integrated electricity supply chain into competitive electricity markets to diversify investment in the system and ultimately drive down operation costs.Nonetheless, due to some geopolitical and economic reasons, many
This paper outlines the scale of the adult literacy and numeracy issue in New Zealand and describes a policy intervention designed to upskill employees in workplaces to help resolve the issue for them.This is the Workplace Literacy and Numeracy (WLN) Fund, which enables around 7000 employees a year to complete a 25- to 80-hour learning programme, u
Development of the robust yet practical tissue culture systems for vascular grafting is one of the major challenges for biomedical engineering.The following questions should be solved in priority: (1) flexibility of the tissue reservoir allowing dynamic stretching, (2) seeding of cells and extraction of tissues should be easy and safe, (3) system m
Separately, both physical activity and virtual reality can attenuate pain sensitivity in healthy adults.What is unknown is whether virtual reality combined with physical activity (active virtual reality) could have a greater hypoalgesic effect compared to non-active virtual reality distraction (passive Hockey Accessories - Mouth Guards virtual real
