In this paper we test the hypothesis that humanitarian aid can lead to the exasperation of conflict in civil wars. Taking Operation Life line Sudan as an example this thesis p
To communicate reliably over noisy wireline or wireless channels, algorithms that add redundancy are used to help reconstruct the transmitted sequence at the receivers. Such error control coding algorithms are today used in all digital communication systems. Optimum decoding algorithms such as the Viterbi and BCJR have very good performances but often too high complexity. Therefore, less complex s

The aim of this thesis is to look into the connections between cu
