The idea for designing the Divider unit is adopted from ancient Indian mathematics "Vedas" .Vedic Mathematics is the old method of computing. With the advent of new technology in the fields of VLSI and communication, there is also an always increasing demand for high speed processing and low area design. Divider is an important fundamental function in arithmetic operations. It is also known fac...

Processor speed largely governed by the multiplier architectures. It is desired to have faster ALU with lower power consumption for portable applications to have good battery life. Hence, there is need to address different multiplier architectures. In this paper, the analysis of 4-bit multiplier using a Vedic Mathematics (Urdhva Tiryagbhyam sutra) and conventional multiplier with two different ...

Vedic Mathematics is the ancient methodology of Indian mathematics which has a unique technique for arithmetic computations based on 16 Sutras (Formulae). Transistor level implementation (ASIC) of Vedic Mathematics based 32-bit multiplier for high speed low power processor is reported in this paper. Simple Boolean logic is combined with ‘Vedic’ formulas, which reduces the partial products and s...

Roles and rituals are essential for creating, situating and maintaining cultural practices. Computer Role-Playing games (CRPGs) and virtual online worlds that appear to simulate different cultures are well known and highly popular. So it might appear that the roles and rituals of traditional cultures are easily ported to computer games. However, I contend that the meaning behind worlds, rituals...

Drawing upon James Carey’s ritual model of communication as a framework, we argue that rituals, especially religious rituals, are important resources for technology design. We suggest that a ritual view of ICT interaction represents an alternative and significant model for ICT development and evaluation, and that the observance of religious rituals affords researchers the opportunity to see cul...

Bringing Ritual toMind explores the cognitive and psychological foundations of religious ritual systems. Participants must recall their rituals well enough to ensure a sense of continuity across performances, and those rituals must motivate them to transmit and re-perform them. Most religious rituals the world over exploit either high performance frequency or extraordinary emotional stimulation...

This study examined the relation between marital satisfaction and religious holiday ritual practices. One hundred twenty couples, married 9 years on average, completed measures of religious holiday practices (current family and family-of-origin) and marital satisfaction. Couples were interviewed about how important religion was to their family life. Marital satisfaction was related to religious...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether in addition to repetitiveness, the motor rituals of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involve reduced functionality due to numerous and measurable acts that are irrelevant and unnecessary for task completion. METHOD Comparing motor rituals of OCD patients with behavior of non-patient control individuals who were instructed to perform the same mot...
