Matrix Code Based Error Correction for LUT Based Cyclic Redundancy Check
No full textAbstractCommunication is one of the vast and rapidly growing fields of engineering. Increasing the efficiency of communication by overcoming the external electromagnetic sources and noise is a challenging task. Various error detection and correction methods are introduced to reduce the loss of data while transmission. This paper proposes a novel method which use Cyclic Redundancy Check(CRC) for the error detection and the generated CRC error is corrected by using Hybrid Matrix Code(HMC) and they are coded in verilog HDL and simulated using Xilinx ISE Design suite 14.2. This proposed method can provide maximum error detection and correction capability with reduction in delay
Subsystem density functional theory for molecules and solids: theory, development, applications
No full textThe Kohn–Sham formulation of density functional theory (KS-DFT) is the most widely employed electronic structure method in the fields of chemistry, physics, and materials science. This is largely due to the fact that KS-DFT produces models of remarkable accuracy and predictive capability with a relatively low computational cost that scales as with respect to the size of system. As researchers strive to simulate larger and more realistic systems, even the convenient scaling of KS-DFT becomes a bottleneck. Subsystem DFT is a popular emph{divide and conquer} formulation of DFT, where the system is divided into a set of weakly coupled fragments, that is naturally suited for a massively parallel implementations, and has a computational cost that scales linearly with the system size. In this dissertation an extension of subsystem DFT for periodic systems is derived, and a flexible, high performing, massively parallel implementation of the theory is included in a new open-source simulation package: embedded Quantum Espresso (eQE). The applicability of the method is then assessed in several applications, spanning from the interaction between molecules and surfaces, to molecular dynamics of liquids.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Alessandro Genov
Brought to Life by the Voice
No full textTo produce the song sequences that are central to Indian popular cinema, singers’ voices are first recorded in the studio and then played back on the set to be lip-synced and danced to by actors and actresses as the visuals are filmed. Since the 1950s, playback singers have become revered celebrities in their own right. Brought to Life by the Voice explores the distinctive aesthetics and affective power generated by this division of labor between onscreen body and offscreen voice in South Indian Tamil cinema. In Amanda Weidman’s historical and ethnographic account, playback is not just a cinematic technique, but a powerful and ubiquitous element of aural public culture that has shaped the complex dynamics of postcolonial gendered subjectivity, politicized ethnolinguistic identity, and neoliberal transformation in South India. “This book is a major contribution to South Asian Studies, sound and music studies, anthropology, and film and media studies, offering original research and new theoretical insights to each of these disciplines. There is no other scholarly work that approaches voice and technology in a way that is both as theoretically wide-ranging and as locally specific.” NEEPA MAJUMDAR, author of Wanted Cultured Ladies Only! Female Stardom and Cinema in India, 1930s–1950s “Brought to Life by the Voice provides a detailed and highly convincing exploration of the varying links between the singing voice and the body in the Tamil film industry since the mid-twentieth century. The historical and ethnographic analysis the book presents is meticulous and excellent.” PATRICK EISENLOHR, author of Sounding Islam: Voice, Media, and Sonic Atmospheres in an Indian Ocean Worl
