Canadian Muslim Voting Guide: Federal Election 2019

This guide assigns a grade to each federal political party Leader\u27s response to identified key issues of importance to the interests of Canadian Muslims and the wider geopolitical concerns that affect Muslims globally. The criteria used to determine these grades has been based on whether a party leader\u27s particular political standpoints and/or policy initiatives are positive or detrimental to the interests of Canadian Muslims and the wider geopolitical concerns that affect Muslims globally

Fourier Expansion of the Riemann zeta function and applications

We study the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on vertical lines $\Re s + i \mathbb{R}$, by using the theory of Hilbert space. We show among other things, that, $\zeta(s)$ has a Fourier expansion in the half-plane $\Re s \geq 1/2$ and its Fourier coefficients are the binomial transform involving the Stieltjes constants. As an application, we show explicit computation of the Poisson integral associated with the logarithm of $\zeta(s) - s/(s-1)$. Moreover, we discuss our results with respect to the Riemann and Lindel\"{o}f hypotheses on the growth of the Fourier coefficients.Comment: 21 page

Self-Partial and Dynamic Reconfiguration Implementation for AES using FPGA

This paper addresses efficient hardware/software implementation approaches for the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm and describes the design and performance testing algorithm for embedded system. Also, with the spread of reconfigurable hardware such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) embedded cryptographic hardware became cost-effective. Nevertheless, it is worthy to note that nowadays, even hardwired cryptographic algorithms are not so safe. From another side, the self-reconfiguring platform is reported that enables an FPGA to dynamically reconfigure itself under the control of an embedded microprocessor. Hardware acceleration significantly increases the performance of embedded systems built on programmable logic. Allowing a FPGA-based MicroBlaze processor to self-select the coprocessors uses can help reduce area requirements and increase a system's versatility. The architecture proposed in this paper is an optimal hardware implementation algorithm and takes dynamic partially reconfigurable of FPGA. This implementation is good solution to preserve confidentiality and accessibility to the information in the numeric communication

L'articulation des sciences et des arts.: Une lecture certalienne du projet de l'Encyclopédie

L'Encyclopédie constitue un projet pharaonique au milieu du 18e siècle, un projet ambitieux et heuristique, le résultat de plus d'un siècle de recherches théoriques et expérimentales. Dans cet article, je tenterai de mettre en lumière la lecture que Michel de Certeau a faite de ce projet, en insistant sur les valeurs pratiques qui ont présidé à son élaboration, de même que sur sa politique scientifique qui associe le théorique et le technique dans un souci épistémologique de réfléchir sur la relation problématique entre les sciences et les arts. Je montrerai aussi que les idées de Michel de Certeau sur les pratiques et les usages puisent dans l'esprit de l'Encyclopédie qui reste un moyen, historique et philosophique, pour comprendre l'émergence et l'évolution des Lumières

The Situation of ESP in EFL Economics Classes

ESP is defined as an approach to teaching English for any purpose that could be specified. It is concerned with what to teach in a context where learners are classified as homogeneous sharing a set of specific needs. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study is to explore the situation of ESP teaching and learning in a class of third year graduate students at the department of Economics, university of M’sila, Algeria. The investigator attempts to know whether the ESP approach to EFL teaching is applied in such a specific class. To this end, 49 students have been randomly chosen as a representative sample joined by their ESP teacher who is a specialist in the same department. Data has been collected through using two research instruments: a questionnaire for students, and a structured interview for the teacher. It has been, then, analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed that students are exposed to a general English kind of teaching with much focus on learning economic terms and translating short texts into the mother tongue language (Arabic), and with little awareness of their academic as well as professional needs (once in a workplace). Additionally, the ESP teacher expressed his felt need for a specific "teacher training." The results could make the ESP teachers aware of what is really needed in this very context. Hence, ESP approaches should be applied to teaching English for different specialized subjects, each according to its needs
