Analog can be described as physical or tangible in a sense, being etched onto some type of media. Digital however, is a representation of the audio waveform, which is converted into a…

2 DESCRIPTION OF THE USEA 2.1. Data Encryption phase USEA encrypts 512-bit blocks of plaintext to cipher text by a 256-bit main key that from now we call it MK. In default, USEA consists of 20 identical rounds, but we can increase or decrease the rounds for amplification of our algorithm in specific hardware or software implementation. Note that Decreasing rounds of algorithm reduces its security against attacks. USEA uses different algebratic, logic and arithmetic operations for data…

Introduction Though there have been many influences on American society, few have been as impactful on how we live, work and play as computers and technology. From an initial introduction of simple calculation and tabulation tools to today’s advanced computing systems, computers and technology have changed how we perform everyday tasks. From designing, producing and distributing common goods to communicating with one another locally and around the world, computers and technology have changed…

01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100001 If I’ve caused any confusion, the above jumble of numbers simply means “hello!”—but in binary. And, while the above might not seem like a language, never mind a way of communicating, it’s how computers understand each other. Computers, like us, can speak many languages, too. I am captivated by language: etymology, regional differences, syntax. Whether it’s examining how the traditional brown and white dress worn by capuchin monks inspired…

You may have seen movies or read stories about these people but you have to understand we are all only going off our intuitions. The people part of that civilization are long gone now, but they left us with artifacts that have helped us find out who these people were and what they believed. In my essay I will talk about three ancient civilizations, the Mayas, the Incas, and the Aztecs. I will say a…

They were positioned in one geographic area covering the Yucatan Peninsula; this smart choice of area indicated that the Maya were aware and looked to remained somewhat protected from invasion by other Mesoamerican groups that could come in from northern areas. Unlike some other indigenous populations of Mesoamerica, the Maya were not one united empire, but…

Maya Angelou’s poem Phenomenal Woman reflects how women and men in society view others who do not physically appeal to the naked eye and how Maya angelou’s life contributed to the confidence she has now as a woman and by the end of the poem it shows all the confidence Angelou portrays, and how that confidence is reflected in her words. To better understand how Angelou came to see herself as a phenomenal woman, it may help to know a bit about her childhood and how it sculpted her. When Maya…

Third Paper The Aztec and the Maya are well-known Mesoamerican civilizations. These civilizations are widely known today as a result of the preserved artifacts and origin stories.

In the poems “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes and “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou both authors convey the same message which is overcoming hardships in life. In the two poems they show their similarities through repetition which will be shown in the first paragraph and literary devices such as figurative language,metaphors and similes, while also showing their differences through parallel structure of both the poems, and through rhetorical questions. Hughes and Angelou show their…

I took it upon myself to seek help in the form of literature from writers like Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, Maya Angelou, Aristotle and some other incredible individuals in the writing game. What I first noticed was the…
