There may be legal as well as non-legal factors that are the main causes of the civilian harm in a non-international armed conflict. In view of the lessons taken from civil wars that occurred around the world, the report of the UN Secretary General, and cases decided by international tribunals, the paper identifies the legal factors that contribute

Software engineering techniques and tools are required to develop or build any computer-based applications. The task of developing Software applications is a complex, expensive and ethical engineering which requires qualified software engineering professionally and ethically. Studies and literature denoted that software engineering professionals st

Within the rapid development of the recent computer-based applications; software quality becomes one of the critical issues to be considered. Software development is complex, costly, widely used and a core (heart) for critical and risky applications that have great affect on human life. Software testing is an essential issue in software quality. To

World Wide statistics show the increasing number of properties such as cars, house, and offices, in term of production and theft attempts. There is a big international effort in research and industrial production done to develop and produce security systems, but we still in need for more improvement since the number of theft cases are still increas

This paper advocates two main arguments: (1) that a terrorist attack may not be an ‘armed attack’ under Article 51 of the UN Charter to justify the use of military force in self-defence if a State is not responsible for it and if the attack is not of such gravity as to amount to an actual armed attack conducted by regular armed forces; and (2)

The scalable video coding is the extension of H.264/AVC. The features in scalable video coding, are the standard features in H.264/AVC and some features which is supporting the scalability of the encoder. Those features add more complexity in SVC encoder. In this paper, complexity evaluation of scalable video coding has been performed. Different sc

Advanced material characterization (AMC) techniques are becoming popular because of continual innovation of different types of materials especially on nanomaterials. Moreover, advances in nanomaterials are attributed partially to the advances in materials characterization tools (also considered as analytical methods and tools) which has allowed nan
