This paper studies the optimization of waveform covariance matrix (WCM) for airborne multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems in the presence of clutter and jamming. The goal is to enhance the target detection performance by suppressing the clutter and jamming based on space time adaptive processing (STAP). We employ the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) as the figure of...

Triticum tauschii) (Thomas and Conner, 1986; Whelan and Thomas, 1989) and the Cmc2 gene transferred to To diversify the genetic base of resistance in wheat (Triticum aesti6D from Agropyron elongatum (Host). Beauv. (Martin vum L.) to the wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, resiset al., 1976; Whelan and Hart, 1988). An unnamed gene tance to this pest was transferred from the dipolid ...

The wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, is a major pest of cereals worldwide that also comprises a complex of at least 16 genetic lineages with divergent physiological traits, including host associations and specificity. The goal of this study was to test the extent to which host-plant species and landscape spatial variation influence WCM presence and population density across the ...

The wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, is a major pest of cereals worldwide. It is also a complex of well-defined genetic lineages with divergent physiological traits, which has not been accounted for in applied contexts. The aims of the study were to model the thermal niches of the two most pestiferous WCM lineages, designated MT-1 and MT-8, and to assess the extent to which temp...

BACKGROUND Percent time in therapeutic range (TTR) and international normalized ratio (INR) variability both measure warfarin control and are associated with outcomes independently. Here, we examine the advantages of a warfarin composite measure (WCM), which summarizes the 2 when measuring patient outcomes. We also examine how the measure chosen would affect anticoagulation clinic performance r...

Objective. To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of Yindanxinnaotong (YD) soft capsule in adult patients with cardiovascular diseases (stroke and angina pectoris). Methods. We electronically searched databases including Medline, PubMed, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Cqvip Database (VIP), and Wanfang Database for published articles of randomized controlled trials (...

Zusammenfassung: Das World Wide Web (WWW oder Web) ist auf dem Weg zum Standardkommunikationsmedium mit dem Web-Browser als Benutzerschnittstelle. Datenbanksysteme (DBS) dienen heute schon im großen Maße zur Datenbereitstellung für Anwendungen, die Daten in dynamisch erstellte HTML-Seiten einbinden. DBS werden bislang jedoch nur selten für die Verwaltung der gesamten Dokumente auf einem Web-Ser...

We evaluated the influence of the hereditary make-up on the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in two ethnic groups [Gypsy and white Caucasian Mediterranean (WCM) populations], living in the same geographic area. We compared 81 WCM and 25 Gypsy patients with SLE. The control group consisted of 185 healthy unrelated individuals, 105 WC and 80 Gypsies. In the Gypsy population, the ...

BACKGROUND Currently, body mass index (BMI) is widely used to identify health risk due to overweight or obesity. However, waist circumference is considered by many to be a better indicator of health risk than BMI. The primary health care team are ideally suited to screen for people at high risk of glucose intolerance and increased cardiovascular risk using waist circumference measurement (WCM)....

Although the term World Class Manufacturing (WCM) is known long ago, it finds out its applicationeven today especially in production organizations. WCM still has one major advantage over thecurrently well-known and widespread concepts for process optimization such as lean production, JIT,six sigma, SCM, and TQM. While these concepts are generally focused on the achievement of speed<...
