Aid Impact and Effectiveness: Introduction and Overview

Introduction and Overview 1.1 Introduction

Conventional microstrip antennas in general have a conducting patch printed on a grounded microwave substrate, and have the attractive features of low profile, light weight, easy fabrication, and conformability to mounting hosts [1]. However, mi-crostrip antennas inherently have a narrow bandwidth, and bandwidth enhancement is usually demanded for practical applications. In addition, applicatio...

: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type

abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...

Introduction and Overview

Although automatically defined functions (ADFcts) with genetic programming (GP) appear to have great utility in a wide variety of domains, their application to the automatic discovery of 2-dimensional features has been only moderately successful [Koza 1993]. Boolean functions of pixel inputs, although very general, may not be the best representation for 2-dimensional features. This chapter desc...
