In modern processors floating point divide operations often take 20 to 25 clock cycles, five times that of multiplication. Typically multiplicative algorithms with quadratic convergence are used for high-performance divide. A divide unit based on the multiplicative Newton-Raphson iteration is proposed. This divide unit utilizes the higher-order Newton-Raphson reciprocal approximation to compute...

there are several problems in matters concerning scientific explanation, the most important of which is offering a definition of explanation and classifying the different approaches taken in offering a model for scientific explanation. in this paper, we will go through the current approaches to explanation while presenting a definition of it. in their discussions about explanation, philosophers...

For the purpose of this presentation, I will roughly divide mathematics into four large areas: fundamental mathematics, mathematics as the language of theoretical physics, mathematical modeling, and mathematics of modern information and communication technology (computers and networks). This subdivision reflects differences in values more than in content, but exactly for this reason it is relev...

Societies are mostly using smartphones and the World Wide Web in the era of information technology, (IT). Information technology and its impact is revealed to everyone on modern society. IT enables communication worldwide but reduced face-to-face interaction, reduced physical activity, made headache, fatness, heart disease, diabetes, neck pain, cost, job loss, and so many other health problems....

I will divide my paper into four parts. First I’ll talk about the fundamental relationship between psychoanalysis and social science and its fate from 1920 to 1960. After that I will deal with new developments and approaches that are more or less influenced or based upon former theoretical efforts. Then I will remark on the current relationship between psychoanalysis and social sciences. Finall...

“The ‘digital divide’ is real. It is actually several gaps in one: a technological divide in infrastructure, with 70 percent of the world’s Internet users living in the 24 richest countries, which contain just 16 percent of the world’s people; a content divide, with nearly 70 percent of the world’s Websites in English /../ and a gender divide, with women and girls in many countries, rich and po...
