Review of Human Rights under the Jordanian Constitution
This review aims to measure the reality of human rights under the Jordanian Constitution; human rights in Jordan are improving, since Jordan is considered one of the most democratic States in the Middle East. Human rights remain a subject of concern inside and outside any State. The review also intent to identify the Jordanian history, a review of its governmental structure, and the 1952 revision of the Jordanian Constitution with particular reference to human rights provisions. In addition to that, the review point to identify and analyze the Constitutionally-guaranteed human rights under the Jordanian Constitution. Jordan was one of the first States in the Middle East to establish a national human rights institution (NHRI) such as, The National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR), for that reason, the review will deliver in details the human rights institutions and the emergence of human rights in Jordan. The review also addresses the major International Conventions to which Jordan is a party.

Performance simulation of a transform domain communication system for multiple access applications
A previously proposed interference-avoiding transform domain communication system (TDCS) is shown capable of operating successfully in a multiple access environment (MAE). The TDCS uses phase coding (mapping) generated from a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) configured to output a maximal-length binary pseudorandom sequence (m-sequence). Quasi-orthogonal basis functions (BFs) are used in a code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme to provide private communication channels to independent user pairs in the MAE. An existing single channel TDCS model is augmented to simulate MAE interference effects on bit error performance (P/sub B/) The proposed TDCS system is simulated using MATLAB for system capacities up to eight channels and E/sub b//N/sub 0/ values ranging from 0 to 9 dB. Simulated MAE TDCS bit error performance closely approximates estimated results; the error for eight channels has a mean value less than 1.7/spl times/10/sup -3/ and a standard deviation less than 1.3/spl times/10/sup -3/. The analysis of acquisition-related performance metrics and bit error performance through computer simulation provides a good measure of TDCS operational capabilities in a MAE.
