The present studies examined whether colorblind diversity messages, relative to multicultural diversity messages, serve as an identity threat that undermines performance-related outcomes for individuals at the intersections of race and gender. We exposed racial/ethnic majority and minority women and men to either a colorblind or multicultural diversity statement and then measured their expectat...

one of the most effective techniques to mitigate multipath fading and inter-cell interference at a downlink wireless channel in wcdma systems for achieving high capacity is transmitter power control. in this case, system increases the power of the subscriber when its interference increases in order to satisfy the requested signal qualities. however, when the requested signal qualities are infea...

Work group diversity, the degree to which there are differences between group members, may affect group process and performance positively as well as negatively. Much is still unclear about the effects of diversity, however. We review the 1997-2005 literature on work group diversity to assess the state of the art and to identify key issues for future research. This review points to the need for...

The transmitted symbol is affected by the channel noise and diversity is an efficient method to reduce the noise and interference. Recently, the channel noise is cancelled by using a novel beamforming technique, where the transmitted symbols are weighted and the same weighting vectors are used at the receiver. In this paper, the authors use the proposed beamforming technique in antenna diversit...

Although there are numerous potential benefits to diversity in work groups, converging dimensions of diversity often prevent groups from exploiting this potential. In a study of heterogeneous decision-making groups, the authors examined whether the disruptive effects of diversity faultlines can be overcome by convincing groups of the value of diversity. Groups were persuaded either of the value...
