Seyyed Hossein Nasr is University Professor of Islamic Studies at George Washington University, and one of the most important and foremost scholars of Islamic, Religious, and Comparative Studies in the world today. In this interview by Adeel Khan, Managing Editor of the journal Religions-Adyān, and Patrick Laude, Professor at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar, Nasr el...

Teaching  English  in  an  Iranian  and  Islamic  culture  poses  complex  questions  for  both  teachers and learners. In this paper, the authors intend to shed light on what it means to teach English as a  foreign  language  (TEFL)  in  an  Islamic-Iranian  context.  Having  reviewed  the  colonial  and postmodern views of English language teaching, the authors took a look beyond the current ...

Chaves (2010) argues that much of the work in the sociology of religion is susceptible to the religious congruence fallacy—the tendency to assume consistency between religious beliefs and one’s attitudes and behaviors across situations when they are in fact highly variable. We build on and extend this argument by focusing on intersecting group identities as a mechanism for identifying such inco...

This paper presents novel architectures of multirate hybrid cascade continuous-time/discrete-time !" modulators that take advantage of the potentially faster operation of the continuoustime part of the circuit, while keep a reduced sampling operation of the back-end discrete-time stages. Compared to conventional multirate !" modulators, the proposed architectures use a higher sampling rate in t...

A 0.8V second order ∆Σ modulator is designed in 0.18μm bulk CMOS technology. Dynamic threshold MOSFET (DTMOS) technique is used to enhance the performance of the circuit building blocks at very low supply voltage. Schematic and post layout simulation results are provided. In case of the amplifier with the embedded CMFB, the measurement results are presented. The modulator can achieve a SNR of a...
