The so-called diversity-multiplexing tradeoff characterizes the fundamental interaction between the robustness and capacity gains obtainable from multiple-input and
multiple-output (MIMO) systems in fading environments. This thesis develops practical schemes for approaching the optimal tradeoff in various delay and complexity
regimes.…

Trata-se da apresentação e discussão dos resultados de um estudo desenvolvido com 73 profissionais da área de enfermagem em um hospital da Região Oeste de Santa Catarina, com o objetivo de identificar conhecimentos, atitudes e comportamentos desses profissionais frente ao…

Este estudo busca refletir sobre a relação entre teoria e prática em enfermagem como elementos que devem estar articulados, visando ao desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação que se aproximem da realidade da enfermagem assistencial e diminuam a lacuna entre o…

The central thesis of this report is that human language is NP-complete. That is, the process of comprehending and producing utterances is bounded above by the class NP, and below by NP-hardness. This constructive complexity thesis has two empirical consequences.…

The combination of soil science, forestry, agronomy and biology allowed an analytical comparison of various experimental mixed culture systems. From these studies, a descriptor system was developed which allows to understand the contribution of each plant species to nutrient cycling,…

Four teachers & their eight classes of 179 5th-grade (10-11-year-old) students participated in this quasi-experimental classroom study, which investigated the effects of form-focused instruction (FFI) & corrective feedback on immersion students' ability to accurately assign grammatical gender in French. The…

I present a novel design methodology for the synthesis of automatic controllers, together with a computational environment---the Control Engineer's Workbench---integrating a suite of programs that automatically analyze and design controllers for high-performance, global control of nonlinear systems. This work demonstrates…
