CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) is a class of shift add algorithms for rotating vectors in a plane, which is usually used for the calculation of trigonometric functions, multiplication, division and conversion between binary and mixed radix number systems of DSP applications, such as Fourier Transform. The CORDIC algorithm has become a widely used approach to elementary function e...

Chiral media are characterized by the constitutive relations D = εE + iXicB and H = B/μ + iXicE where Xic is the chirality admittance introduced to take into account macroscopic handedness or optical activity inherent in the media. In addition we define a chirality impedance and a dimensionless chirality factor to describe the wave properties of this medium. As known for some time, this medium ...

Vibrational energy relaxation of HOD in deuterated water is investigated performing classical nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. A flexible SPC/E model is employed to describe the intermolecular interactions and the intramolecular potential of the D(2)O solvent. A more accurate intramolecular potential is used for HOD. Our results for the OH stretch, OD stretch, and HOD bend vibrati...

We use a simple physical model to study the nonlinear behaviour of the r-mode instability. We assume that r-modes (Rossby waves) are excited in a thin spherical shell of rotating incompressible fluid. For this case, exact Rossby wave solutions of arbitrary amplitude are known. We find that: (a) These nonlinear Rossby waves carry ZERO physical angular momentum and positive physical energy, which...

The aim of this paper was to compare empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and two new extended methods of EMD named complex empirical mode decomposition (complex-EMD) and bivariate empirical mode decomposition (bivariate-EMD). All methods were used to analyze stabilogram center of pressure (COP) time series. The two new methods are suitable to be applied to complex time series to extract complex ...
