Background: Although the term cirrhotic cardiomyopathy expresses cardiac changes associating liver cirrhosis unrelated to its aetiology, hepatitis C virus HCV was suggested to play a role in cardiomyopathy and/or myocarditis. However the existence of such direct viral effect on the heart in HCV induced liver cirrhosis LC patients remains to be verified. Rationale of the current study was to fig...

In many of the studies reviewed in this book, eavesdropping takes the following form: a subject has the opportunity to monitor, or eavesdrop upon, an interaction between two other animals, A and B. The subject then uses the information obtained through these observations to assess A’s and B’s relative dominance or attractiveness as a mate (e.g. Mennill et al., 2002; Ch. 2). For example, Oliveir...

at present, story literature has achieved an extraordinary credit in terms of purposing the foremost and most orginal issues concerning to human as well as the rate of influence and attraction of reader; and this has led to serious attention and efforts made by critics and experts for conducting criticism and analysis on its constituent components and elements from different points of view. con...

نجيب محفوظ هو روائي مصرى كبير واشتهر بأبي الروايات العربية الحديثة. وقد حاز على جائزة نوبيل عام 1988 من قبل المجتمع الغربي بإنجازاته الجمالية وتعاطفه الإنسانية بين روائعه الأدبية. كان الدافع لظهور جميع اهتمامه بمشاكل وسعيه لمحاولة بناء الجديد. ومع ذلك، اقترض بعض أن مثيرة للجدل حصل عليه النقد السلبي والتجديف نحو الجوانب الدينية. بذلك وصل الباحثون الإثبات الروائع الأدبية لنجيب تثير أنواع الردود و...

Use of space-time codes with multiple transmit antennas has generated a lot of interest for increasing spectral efficiency as well as improved performance in wireless communications. Although, the literature on space-time coding is quite rich now, the orthogonal designs of Alamouti [1], Tarokh et al. [2, 3], Naguib and Seshádri [4] remain popular. The strength of orthogonal designs is that thes...

Many researchers have investigated multi-channel speech enhancement techniques which can be used for the pre-processing of the speech recognition system. Numerous microphones can give high performance, but they require additional hardware costs and generate the design problem about microphone position. Therefore speech enhancement technique using two microphones is preferred in mobile phone suc...
