Increasing the radix to 8 gives some improvement but not as much as from 2 to 4. Increasing it to 16 is theoretically promisingbut the small decrease in multiplications is somewhat offset by an increase in additions and the program becomes rather long. Otherradices are not attractive because they generally require a substantial number of multiplications and additions in thebutterflies.

The second method of reducing arithmetic is to remove the unnecessary TF multiplications by plus or minus unity or by plus orminus the square root of minus one. This occurs when the exponent of W N is zero or a multiple of N / 4 . A reduction of additions as well as multiplications is achieved by removing these extraneouscomplex multiplications since a complex multiplication requires at least two real additions. In a program, this reduction is usuallyachieved by having special butterflies for the cases where the TF is one or j . As many as four special butterflies may be necessary to remove all unnecessary arithmetic, but in many cases there will beno practical improvement above two or three.

In addition to removing multiplications by one or j , there can be a reduction in multiplications by using a special butterflyfor TFs with W N / 8 , which have equal real and imaginary parts. Also, for computers or hardware with multiplication considerablyslower than addition, it is desirable to use an algorithm for complex multiplication that requires three multiplications and threeadditions rather than the conventional four multiplications and two additions. Note that this gives no reduction in the total number ofarithmetic operations, but does give a trade of multiplications for additions. This is one reason not to use complex data types inprograms but to explicitly program complex arithmetic.

A time-consuming and unnecessary part of the execution of a FFT program is the calculation of the sine and cosine terms whichare the real and imaginary parts of the TFs. There are basically three approaches to obtaining the sine and cosine values. They canbe calculated as needed which is what is done in the sample program above. One value per stage can be calculated and the othersrecursively calculated from those. That method is fast but suffers from accumulated round-off errors. The fastest method is to fetchprecalculated values from a stored table. This has the disadvantage of requiring considerable memory space.

If all the N DFT values are not needed, special forms of the FFT can be developed using a process called pruning [link] which removes the operations concerned with the unneeded outputs.

Special algorithms are possible for cases with real data or with symmetric data [link] . The decimation-in-time algorithm can be easily modified to transform real data and save half thearithmetic required for complex data [link] . There are numerous other modifications to deal with special hardwareconsiderations such as an array processor or a special microprocessor such as the Texas Instruments TMS320. Examples ofprograms that deal with some of these items can be found in [link] , [link] , [link] .

why is communication effective
Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills

Magret Reply
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities. before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these

continue.. sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed. treatment for autism. well it depends on the severity. since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child
Jharna
child interact with other kids under doc supervision. play therapy. speech therapy. Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game. string and beads game. the more you interact with the child the more effective
Jharna
results you'll get.. please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child. and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid. but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
