As universities expand so too does the diversity of students. Widening participation requires higher education providers to be responsive to the needs of all students by ensuring an accessible and engaging learning environment. Today’s cohort includes an increased number of students with autism, a spectrum condition that has the potential to be either beneficial or detrimental to their success ...

An innovative online approach to executive development is described. The approach utilizes asynchronous and synchronous elements, required submission of assignments, and other features resembling those of online college courses. Design of the learning experience, though, has been observant of the various motivations of busy executives. The approach so far has resulted in high rates of course co...

An asynchronous course in the introduction to economic analysis depends on mastery of content before students may progress to the next module. Each module is formulated with introduction, content, graded and non-graded assessment. Student success in a similar course over four semesters is pronounced with little withdrawal and mostly grades of A being received. This paper tells why the instructi...

The objective of this paper is to design, develop and testing of the “Real time implementation of SCADA system for ratio control based bottle filling plant”. This work will provide low operational cost, low power consumption, accuracy and flexibility to the system and at the same time it will provide accurate volume of liquid in bottle by saving operational time. In this work, a prototype has b...

Asynchronous serial transceivers have been recently used for data serializing in large on-chip systems to alleviate the routing congestion and improve the routability. FPGAs have considerable potential for using the asynchronous serial transmission but they have serious challenges to use this technology. In this paper, we present a new FPGA architecture corresponding with a new routing algorith...

In a previous paper it was shown that reducing the amount of glitches in digital designs can significantly reduce the amount of dynamic power consumption. Pipelined multipliers and a bit-serial multiplier design were used to show this. The paper failed to mention how much of the dynamic power consumption was due to the clock distribution. Also the only digitserial multiplier digit size investig...

UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) is used for serial communication. It is used for long distance and low cost process for transfer of data between pc and its devices. In general a UART operated with specific baud rate. To meet the complex communication demands it is not sufficient. To overcome this difficulty a multi channel UART is proposed in this paper. And the whole design ...

A high speed bit-serial word-parallel finite field multiplier using redundant basis is proposed. It has been shown that the proposed architecture has higher speed compared to the previously proposed hybrid architectures using the same basis while having moderate complexity. The hybrid architecture of the proposed design provides designer the ability to set the trade off between area and delay d...

Let X be a smooth quadric of dimension 2m in P C and let Y, Z ⊂ X be subvarieties both of dimension m which intersect transversely. In this paper we give an algorithm for computing the intersection points of Y ∩ Z based on a homotopy method. The homotopy is constructed using a C∗-action on X whose fixed points are isolated, which induces Bialynicki-Birula decompositions of X into locally closed...
