FOSS Compact Model Prototyping with Verilog-A Equation-Defined Devices (VAEDD) by Brinson, Mike

“…It has the same structure as the standard EDD but is built around compiled Verilog-A module code, which in turn is translated to C++ code and dynamically linked to the main body of the simulator code. Essentially a VAEDD is a tiny Verilog-A module with a standardised internal code structure. …”

Cultural localisation as a strategy to preserve the persuasive function in the translation of tourism websites from French into English by Cowan, Sally Elizabeth

“…Using Hall’s anthropological iceberg model and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions as the framework, a small sample of French source texts and their English translations are compared to demonstrate the link between the stylistic features of tourism language and the psychological motivations of tourists, highlighting the interplay between all levels of the cultural iceberg. …”

Insight with stumpers: normative solution data for 25 stumpers and a fresh perspective on the accuracy effect by Ross, Wendy, Vallée-Tourangeau, Frédéric

“…Alongside normative data for 25 stumpers, we also demonstrate that insight is linked to certainty in the answer rather than whether the answer is correct or not and that certainty (subjective correctness) is a stronger predictor of the feeling of insight than objective correctness. …”
