This book, consisting of ten chapters, provides succinctly the essential aspects of the 'Use of Force in International Law'. It analyses the history of the UN Charter, its conception and role in today’s world. Their member States and the provisions on the concept of the use of force are also scrutinised. The book proceeds to discuss the p

Surfactants are widely used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals. In emulsion, it is a vital ingredient that allows mixing of two immiscible liquids. Emulsions have significant importance as carriers for water-insoluble drugs. There are many types of synthetic surfactants but there are also known natural surfactants which have been used and more t

Compressive sensing (CS) is a new approach to simultaneous sensing and compression of sparse and compressible signals, i.e. speech signal. Compressive sensing is a new paradigm of acquiring signals, fundamentally different from uniform rate digitization followed by compression, often used for transmission or storage. In this paper, a novel algorith

The availability of inexpcnsivc PC sound cards that can simultaneously play and rcrord stereo digital audio files pennits a single PC OT laptop or netbook to function as both a signal generator and as a dual-channel recording digital oscilloscope. This paper presents how sound card with Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox can be utili7.ed for inSlrumcn

Scalable video coding (SVC) is gaining great interest because of its ability and scalability to adapt in various conditions of network. The term of scalability is referring to the removal of parts of the video bitstream in order to adapt it to the various needs or preferences of end users as well as to varying terminal capabilities or network condi

In clinical diagnostics and patient's treatment, many physiological parameters, referred to as emergency vital signs or EVS such as blood gas, invasive blood pressures, pulse rate, temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG), etc, have to be detected, measured and monitored. Wireless ZigBee networks utilize digital data to enable such novel clinical a

The objective of this chapter is to represent AI-Majusi contributions in carduivascular system and blood circulation. The chapter refers to the main treatise entitled Kitab Kamil Sina 'ah Tibiyah, (The Complete Medical Art), written by Ali Ibn Abbas AI-Majusi, and other articles on cardiovascular system and blood circulation. The science ofthe

The gene identification problem, which identifies the protein-coding regions (exons) in DNA sequences through computational means, is of great importance nowadays. A DNA sequence can be divided into genes and intergenic spaces. In eukaryotic genes, these regions can be divided into two sub-regions called coding regions (exons) and non-coding region

The field of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is about 60 years old. There have been many interesting advances and developments since the invention of the first speech recognizer at Bell Labs in the early 1950' s. The development of ASR increased gradually until the invention of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) in early 1970's. Researchers'
