The first way Aquinas attempts to prove the existence of God is through cause and effect. Every action or outcome must have a previous action that allowed that action or outcome to come about. This previous action must have been set in motion by another action. St. Thomas reasons that this infers an infinite chain of cause

PIPELINED RADIX-2K FEED FORWARD FFT ARCHITECTURES ABSTRACT The Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is one of the most important algorithms in the field of digital signal processing. It is used to calculate the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) efficiently. In order to meet the high performance and real-time requirements of modern applications‚ hardware designers have always tried to implement efficient architectures for the computation of the FFT. In this context‚ pipelined hardware architectures are

He took this opportunity to give some greater freedom of expression to his people and he encouraged constructive criticism of how he and his party were transforming china into a proletarian state. He also gave intellectuals a greater say in debate which was unusual as Mao hated them. It was quite possible that Mao
