Design and Optimization of Physical Waveform-Diverse and Spatially-Diverse Radar Emissions
… (MIMO) mode. In this work, three spatially-diverse radar emission design methods are introduced that provide constant amplitude, spectrally-contained waveforms implemented via a digital array radar (DAR). The first design method, denoted as spatial modulation, designs the radar waveforms via …

Aerogels as diverse nanomaterials
"Aerogels are 3-D light-weight nanoporous materials pursued for their low thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant and high acoustic attenuation. Those exceptional macroscopic properties of aerogels are dependent on the chemical nature of nanoparticles, complex hierarchical solid skeletal …

Diverse partial memory replication
… approach for automated program diversity called Diverse Partial Memory Replication (DPMR), aimed at detecting memory safety errors. DPMR is an automatic compiler transformation that replicates some subset of an executable's data memory and applies one or more diversity transformations to the …

Manipulation with diverse actions
We define the Diverse Action Manipulation (DAMA) problem in which we are given a mobile robot, a set of movable objects, and a set of diverse, possibly non-prehensile manipulation actions, and the objective is to find a sequence of actions that moves each of the objects to a goal configuration. We …

Diverse sampling of streaming data
This thesis addresses the problem of diverse sampling as a dispersion problem and proposes solutions that are optimized for large streaming data. Finding the optimal solution to the dispersion problem is NP-hard. Therefore, existing and proposed solutions are approximation algorithms. This work …

Rationalized structural systems for diverse applications
… resistance to change, lack of adaptability to diverse sites and contexts and inefficiency in the use of the relatively expensive cement and steel. Open systems offer an alternative direction to industrialization in construction. In open systems, the differentiation of permanent from …

Microbial size spectra from diverse marine ecosystems
Characteristics of microbial size spectra (bacteria and phytoplankton) were examined in relation to changes in ecosystem productivity and environmental perturbations. Samples were obtained from productive coastal waters in Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays, oligotrophic waters in the Sargasso Sea and …

Self-Concept Assessment of Linguistically Diverse Students
… whether or not students of linguistically diverse backgrounds tend to have lower self-concepts, particularly in the academic setting, than those students who are from "standard" English linguistic backgrounds. This study took into account the students' linguistic backgrounds; the language …

Binge Eating in Ethnically Diverse Obese Adolescents
Rates of pediatric obesity in America are reaching epidemic proportions. Studies using both community and treatment-seeking samples of obese adolescents indicate that a subset engage in binge eating behaviors. This study investigated the prevalence and severity of binge eating behaviors among 86 …

Designing technologies for exposure to diverse opinions
"Exposure to diverse opinions can help individuals develop accurate beliefs, make better decisions, and become more understanding and tolerant persons. It is also necessary for the governance of a stable and democratic society. However, the exposure is often limited by people's natural tendency …

Tropical stony corals host diverse microbial nitrogen dynamics
Coral health hinges on an intricate relationship between the coral animal, photosynthetic algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae, and a microbial community of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, and viral associates collectively termed the coral holobiont. This holobiont maintains the nutrient balance of …
