In recent years, high-speed wireless communication is in vogue. In wireless communication systems, multipath fading, delay and interferenc occurres by reflection or diffraction. In a high-speed wireless communication, it becomes a necessary to separate desired signal from delay or interference signal. Thus to overcome these problems Smart antenna systems have been developed. Basically there are...

This paper presents the application of a connectionist control-learning system to autonomous mini-robots. These robots are specially designed and equipped for learning easily deened yet challenging control tasks. The system must learn despite noisy, low-grain sensory input and uncertain interactions between motor commands and eeects in the world. The system's design is severely constrained by t...

High prevalence of human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) infection has been reported on the island of Sardinia. Among emigrants from Sardinia, rates of HHV-8 infection are lower than they are in Sardinia and are similar to those observed in the local population. Thus, environmental factors seem to play a relevant role in affecting the prevalence of HHV-8 infection.

by RIChARd KENdALL Using various education and census databases 1 this policy brief explores the Latino education pipeline in New York State and, where possible, uses disaggregated data to analyze the changes in educational enrollment, attainment, and achievement for Latinos between 1990 and 2000. The education pipeline represents the distribution of Latinos nrolled in preschool through graduat...

The Marchand balun has larger bandwidth than other types of combiners and has been used extensively since its introduction. The Marchand balun has also been extensively used in planar systems in both broadside-coupled and edged-coupled configurations. This paper describes the design and development of two microstrip, folded, edge-coupled Marchand baluns for use as anti-phase power combiner. The...

Legal probabilism (LP) claims the degrees of conviction in juridical fact-finding are to be modeled exactly the way degrees of beliefs are modeled in standard bayesian epistemology. Classical legal probabilism (CLP) adds that the conviction is justified if the credence in guilt given the evidence is above an appropriate guilt probability threshold. The views are challenged on various counts, es...
