Series Statement: Signals and Communication Technology,

Content: This book discusses both the theory and practical applications of self-correcting data, commonly known as error-correcting codes. The applications included demonstrate the importance of these codes in a wide range of everyday technologies, from smartphones to secure communications and transactions. Written in a readily understandable style, the book presents the authors’ twenty-five years of research organized into five parts: Part I is concerned with the theoretical performance attainable by using error correcting codes to achieve communications efficiency in digital communications systems. Part II explores the construction of error-correcting codes and explains the different families of codes and how they are designed. Techniques are described for producing the very best codes. Part III addresses the analysis of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, primarily to calculate their stopping sets and low-weight codeword spectrum which determines the performance of these codes. Part IV deals with decoders designed to realize optimum performance. Part V describes applications which include combined error correction and detection, public key cryptography using Goppa codes, correcting errors in passwords and watermarking. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in error-correcting codes and their applications, ranging from non-experts to professionals at the forefront of research in their field This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Content: This book sheds light on how the Shiite-dominated government's sectarian policy deepened the divide between Iraq's major communities (Shiites, Sunni Arabs and the Kurds) and led the country on the path of unending sectarian violence. It explains how government's failure to address the Sunni Arab grievances led to the emergence of the radical Islamic State, and convinced the Kurds that they could not coexist with Iraqi Arabs, who had been at each other's throats since 2003. It notes that the emergence of a Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad was a historical event that led Iran to achieve its longstanding dream of extending its influence from Tehran to Baghdad, to Damascus and Beirut. It places a special focus on how the Shiite politicians' slick diplomacy and media campaign diverted attention from its sectarian policy in 2014 by labeling the Sunni Arabs as terrorists and Kurdish leaders as corrupt separatists and troublemakers. This volume also uncovers how the Iraqi government was able to amass Western military and political support to defeat ISIS and to derail the Kurdish statehood movement
