Interference suppression and diversity for CDMA systems
… due to non-orthogonality of the spreading codes and multipath channels, the desired signal suffers interference from other users. Signal fading due to multipath propagation is another source of impairment in wireless CDMA systems, often severely impacting performance. In this dissertation, …

Fragment synthesis: pharmacophore and diversity oriented approaches
… were synthesised of this fragment leading to a candidate with a better IC50. Additionally, computer modelling of the interface site suggested that a series of spirocyclic compounds would inhibit this protein. These were synthesised and tested in vitro. Results from these tests were analysed and …

Aquatic microenvironments in bacterial ecology and diversity
… surveys have revealed tremendous bacterial diversity in the world's oceans; yet how do these diverse bacteria with the same essential nutrient requirements co-exist in the same environment? This study examines the role of aquatic microenvironments in generating bacterial diversity: closely …

Evolution and diversity of passerine birds of Australasia
Passeriformes (passerines) is the largest and most diverse order of living birds, comprising over 50% of the world's avifauna. Because of their ubiquity, enormous diversity and exceptional plasticity, passerines represent an excellent vertebrate group for investigating a wide range of evolutionary, …

Antimicrobial activities and diversity of sponge derived microbes
… which was closely related to Fusarium oxysporum and showed activity against bacteria and fungi, was investigated for its secondary metabolite genes. At least 5 different NRPS genes, with a sequence similarity as low as 50 % to known genes, were identified highlighting the likelihood that this …

Synthesis of Optimal Arrays For MIMO and Diversity Systems
… element radiation characteristics which maximize diversity gain given a specific power angular spectrum of the propagation environment. The method numerically constructs the eigenfunctions of the covariance operator for the scenario subject to constraints on the power radiated by each antenna as …

Structure, Function, and Diversity of Monoclonal Anti-Fluorescyl Antibodies
The structural basis of antibody affinity and the mechanism by which IgG antibodies undergo increases in affinity with time (maturation) during the immune response were examined using a fluorescein hapten system in conjunction with hybridoma methodology. Monoclonal anti-fluorescyl IgG antibodies …

Genetic resistance to and diversity of soybean mosaic virus
… The crosses were evaluated in the F$\sb2$ and with F$\sb{2:3}$ families in the field and in the greenhouse for reaction to inoculation with SMV-G1. Results show that each of the Chinese cultivars has a single dominant gene for resistance to SMV-G1. The resistance gene carried by Feng Shou …

Environmental bacteriophages infecting Dickeya and Serratia species: receptors and diversity
… decade, six phages have been isolated in Belgium and Poland using Dickeya solani as the host. Previous work in this laboratory has isolated ninety phages capable of infecting D. solani. The majority have been morphologically classified as members of the Ackermannviridae family. In agreement with …
