Abstract:

Today’s business world is facing a continual increase of globalization that opened the borders of nations. Organizations see in multicultural teams and cultural diversity a way to respond to this phenomenon. Cultural diversity in multicultural teams is a new challenge for leaders. Indeed, they need to develop new strategies and skills to include individuals coming from different cultures in order to ensure the proper functioning of the team and achieve effectiveness. The purpose of our thesis – labeled “Leading Cultural Diversity: Strategies and Skills” – is to find out, through interviews and

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a joint spatial diversity scheme in MIMO systems in order to improve the transmission reliability of the wireless links, thereby to extend the transmission range and increase the information throughput. Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) and antenna selection are employed here for their low complexity, high flexibility, no spectrum efficiency reduction and high compatibility with many existing standards. A bit error performance bound for CDD system with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and convolutional coding in multipath Rayleigh fading channel is generated, which re

Abstract:

With the change in the economic structures of Western industrialised countries and the shift of traditional industries towards knowledge and services in recent decades the challenge to stay competitive in increasingly globalised culturally diverse markets continues to be a priority for organisations. Of central importance is the need to acknowledge, utilise and share the diversity of employees' knowledge, particularly tacit knowledge that is ethnically influenced, a resource that is enormously rich yet overlooked, undervalued and under-utilised in the employment market.

Abstract:

Bacteria have been isolated from virtually every environment on Earth. The Antarctic continent is no exception. In this extremely cold and dry environment bacteria have colonised various refugia and have evolved a number of strategies for coping with the extreme physico-chemical fluctuations they are exposed to within the environment. These psychrophilic adaptations include cold adapted proteins and lipids which are interest for biotechnology in areas such as frozen foods, agriculture and cryogenic storage. One type of cold adapted protein of particular interest is the antifreeze protein (AFP)

An ensemble is a composite model, combining the predictions from several other models. Ensembles are known to be more accurate than single models. Diversity has been identified as an important factor in explaining the success of ensembles. In the context of classification, diversity has not been well defined, and several heuristic diversity measures have been proposed. The focus of this thesis is on how to create effective ensembles in the context of classification. Even though several effective ensemble algorithms have been proposed, there are still several open questions regarding the role d

I found that species diversity of lianas in valley habitat was higher than in ridge habitat, but liana abundance was similar.

In an attempt to explain this phenomenon deterministically, I took two approaches: (1) to explore if trait expression of leaf-based trai

Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: For the past five years, Stellenbosch University (hereafter SU) has worked attentively to improve the diversity profiles of its staff and students, as well as the campus climate. In this regard, as at many other institutions, SU has worked in various ways to promote diversity. To this end, SU has not only invested in a variety of strategies and initiatives to address inequalities that exist in the education system, but has implemented their strategies and initiatives to assist with the diversification of the campus environment.

Abstract:

As post-secondary education becomes more important for the American citizen to generate wealth, universities are struggling to retain and graduate African-Americans, the third-most represented demographic in the country, especially at predominately white colleges and universities. The Colleges of Agriculture at these particular institutions are struggling to even get Black students to apply, let alone graduate. One of the major issues is the disconnect between the African-American community and the idea of post-secondary education in the agricultural field. One way that disconnect can be comba

Abstract:

Some business leaders find it challenging to manage individuals from different age groups; this is an issue, as organizations in many developed countries become more age-diverse. The purpose of this single case study was to provide business leaders with information about strategies top-level business executives and team leaders at a large company in Curaçao (a developed island nation in the Caribbean) use for enhancing productivity of an age-diverse workforce. The conceptual framework of this study consisted of generational theory of Mannheim. A key tenet of the generational theory includes th

Abstract:

The objectives of this work were to investigate, design and implement Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna arrays for mobile phones. Several MIMO antennas were developed and tested over various wireless-communication frequency bands. The radiation performance and channel capacity of these antennas were computed and measured: the results are discussed in the context of the frequency bands of interest. A comprehensive study of MIMO antenna configurations such as 2 × 1, 3 × 1, 2 × 2 and 3 × 3, using polarisation diversity as proposed for future mobile handsets, is presented. The channel
