Skills for work?: From skills development to decent livelihoods in Ghana's rural informal economy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the current state of, and recent trends in, skills development opportunities in rural Ghana fail to adequately address the multiple occupational pathways of the youth, and especially the poor, as they attempt to become fully and productively engaged in decent livelihoods in the rural informal economy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coherent radar imaging using Capon's method

TL;DR: In this article, a linearly constrained mathematical formulation is provided for the problem of coherent radar imaging, and an imaging technique based on constrained optimization is introduced and shown to exhibit higher resolution and resistance to interfering signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Paradigm for Clinical Investigation of Infectious Syndromes in Older Adults: Assessment of Functional Status as a Risk Factor and Outcome Measure

TL;DR: The currently available data are outlined that suggest an association between infection, immunity, and impaired functional status in elderly individuals, the instruments commonly used to determine specific aspects of functional status are summarized, and recommendations for a new paradigm in which clinical trials that involve older adults include assessment offunctional status are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Range imaging using frequency diversity

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized method based on constrained optimization is used to reconstruct high-resolution images of the average power density as a function of range, which is shown to be capable of resolving complex structures similar to Kelvin-Helmholtz billows which can be much smaller in vertical extent than the resolution volume.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polarimetric Phased-Array Radar for Weather Measurement: A Planar or Cylindrical Configuration?

TL;DR: In this article, a cylindrical configuration for agile beam polarimetric phased-array radar (CPPAR) is proposed to avoid the inherent limitations of the planar PPPAR.
