This text will provide a useful reference and guild to those who are interested in this important approach to microbial ecology. This book aims to provide the basis for future investigations which will in turn result in a practical biologic approach to the control and prevention of some serious infectious diseases.

This unique reference provides concise, single-source coverage of the clinical, research, and therapeutic aspects of dermatological problems associated with bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

The future is of the mobile phones. Everyone wants the mobile phone to do everything for them. People now don't want desktops or laptops they want their mobile cell phones to be capable of doing everything they can do over the computers. We have conceived a similar idea. The main concept is that in future universities must all be networked over mobile phones. All notices, alerts messages, fines, assignments, results, grades, everything be done over the mobile communication. So for that we think as a starting point we can convert one of our local applications into a mobile application and allow students to access it on their mobiles. Not only will this save time, but will also be a first step into the direction of getting the whole university into a new dimension of mobile enabled environment. So we have decided to work ( i.e. develop, integrate and mobilize) on an application that will hold students record and result (e.g. RADIX like application) as our project, and to turn it into a mobile application, so that students get to register, view their grades, credit hours and get notification alerts all on their mobile phones.

OFDM has been an attractive choice for digital modulation in the recent years due to its robustness to channel fading and invulnerability to intersymbol interference. However, to achieve an optimal performance the corresponding channel estimation scheme need to be accurate. This book focuses on the use of guard intervals between successive OFDM symbols for channel estimation. A hybrid of blind and semi-blind estimation techniques is proposed to create an energy efficient scheme that can maintain accurate channel estimation as well as a low transmission BER. Multipath fading channel are considered for performance evaluation. The proposed hybrid scheme is tested in static as well as time varying channel environments using computer simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes on the basis of BER performance for the same SNR.

The studies to find relationship between training and organizational commitment are in its preliminary stages. However in Western countries there have been a number of studies on training and organizational commitment, very little work has been done in respect of the employees in Islamic banking industry of Pakistan. This research explores the relationship between six training variables (Perceived availability of training, Motivation to learn, Perceived benefits of training, Perceived supervisor support for training, Perceived Coworker support and perceived transfer of training) and several elements of organizational commitment (affective commitment, continuance commitment, normative commitment). Descriptive Statistics, Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression are used to examine questionnaire's data from 317 employees of 11 Islamic banks operating in Pakistani Islamic banking industry. The perceived availability of training, motivation to learn, perceived supervisor support for training, coworker support were all have a significant positive impact over affective and normative organizational commitment.
