Advances in our knowledge of the pathogenesis and management of portal hypertension and its complications over the last 2 decades have been astronomical. However, most of the management strategies remain palliative and serves as a bridge to liver transplantation. Despite the availability of a number of books in the field of hepatology, portal hypertension as the main life-threatening complication needs a dedicated book to link between recent advances in research and current clinical practice. This book includes dedicated chapters on gastric varices management, ectopic varices management, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, portal hypertensive bilopathy, portal hypertension as a risk factor in nonhepatic abdominal surgery, idiopathic portal hypertension, and portal hypertension in pregnancy. As all other chapters, they represent updates on the recent advances and were written by well-known experts in such areas. It also includes a self-assessment section for evaluation of the level benefit obtained from reading this book. Many illustrations, tables, lists, algorithms, figures, and colour plates are included to serve the educational purpose of this book.
The book reports modeling and simulation techniques for substrate noise coupling effects in RFICs and introduces isolation structures and design guides to mitigate such effects with the ultimate goal of enhancing the yield of RF and mixed signal SoCs. The book further reports silicon measurements, and new test and noise isolation structures. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first title devoted to the topic of substrate noise coupling in RFICs as part of a large SoC.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Netwoks and Services, MMNS 2004, held in San Diego, CA, USA in October 2004. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 papers submitted. The papers are organized in topical sections on multimedia over wireless, adaptive multimedia streaming, novel protocols in wireless systems, scalable multimedia systems, MPLS: bandwidth provisioning and control, distributed systems management, proactive quality of service, multimedia service control and management, and mobility: control and management.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on the Management of Multimedia Networks and Services, MMNS 2003, held in Belfast, Northern Ireland in September 2003. The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream control and management, management and control of multicast communications, ad-hoc and sensor networks, QoS and mobility management in wireless networks, traffic engineering and routing, differentiated network services, on-demand networking issues and policies, multimedia QoS management, security management, and (corresponding to an associated workshop) end-to-end monitoring techniques and services.
This Book. The image of the West in contemporary Arab culture is distorted and devoid of friendliness because those who painted this image lacked free and independent thinking away from dogma or the influence of the old dominant powers in the Arab region. It is difficult to separate anti-west and anti-Jews. Hence, Jews occupy a large portion of this book, since it is the easiest and quickest way to demonize the West. The book reviews the most prominent names that contributed to “Demonizing the West” within the Arab East, over an entire century. The list includes the names of writers, poets, translators, singers, and actors in theatre and cinema. They reflect the level of thinking of the ...

More than 40 internationally recognized authorities in the field of security and networks contribute articles in their areas of expertise. These international researchers and practitioners are from highly-respected universities, renowned research institutions and IT companies from all over the world. Each self-contained chapter covers one essential research topic on security in computer networks. Through the efforts of all the authors, all chapters are written in a uniformed style; each containing a comprehensive overview, the latest pioneering work and future research direction of a research topic.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2006, held in Dallas, TX, USA in November 2006. The 36 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented together with the extended abstracts of 2 invited lectures address all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programming.
th The 20 anniversary of the IFIP WG6. 1 Joint International Conference on Fonna! Methods for Distributed Systems and Communication Protocols (FORTE XIII / PSTV XX) was celebrated by the year 2000 edition of the Conference, which was held for the first time in Italy, at Pisa, October 10-13, 2000. In devising the subtitle for this special edition --'Fonna! Methods Implementation Under Test' --we wanted to convey two main concepts that, in our opinion, are reflected in the contents of this book. First, the early, pioneering phases in the development of Formal Methods (FM's), with their conflicts between evangelistic and agnostic attitudes, with their over optimistic applications to toy example...
Researchers in the field of engineering or physical sciences resort to experimental methods and/or simulation approaches as a part of their work. This book provides the relevant concepts and methods in a cohesive manner. Organized into eighteen chapters, the book covers the basic concepts of research and the research process, and guides researchers to develop adequate skills and capabilities to prepare papers for publication in refereed journals, to write synopses of their research work and to face the oral examination and defend their theses confidently.
