The Hybrid MIMO Phased Array Radar, or HMPAR, is a notional concept for a multisensor radar architecture that combines elements of traditional phased-array radar with the emerging technology of Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar. A HMPAR comprises a large number, MP, of T/R elements, organized into M subarrays of P elements each. Within each subarray, passive element level phase shifting is used to steer transmit and receive beams in some desired fashion. Each of the M subarrays are in turn driven by independently amplified phase-coded signals. This paper derives a version of the radar ambiguity function that is appropriate for this radar architecture. The ambiguity function is a function of time delay, Doppler frequency shift, and two or more spatial variables. An illustrative example for a particular MIMO signal set is given.

Based on an in-grade testing program, the Ketchikan Wood Technology Center has registered three proprietary grademarks for Alaska species of hemlock (Tsuga heteraphylla (Raf.) Sarg.), yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach), and spruce (combined Sitka spruce [Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.] and white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss]). The Ketchikan Wood Technology Center conducted tests to establish glulam beam manufacturing specifications. In conjunction with this program, there is a need to measure the market for glulam beams in Alaska. The purpose of this research was to compare Alaska residential builder adoption rates of glulam beams and other engineered wood products to those of the continental United States. The results showed that a higher percentage of Alaska builders use glulam beams compared with builders in the rest of the United States.

How does the structure of the ear define normal auditory function and how do pathologically and surgically induced changes in the ear structure change hearing? This volume presents the results of the Euromech Colloquium on 'Biomechanics of Hearing'. Attended by experts - engineers, physicists, audiologists - active in different fields of modern measurement techniques, modeling and simulation and microsurgery with applications to hearing. Common themes were the description of auditory function on the basis of mathematical models of the middle and inner ear and identification, i.e. the use of measurements of middle and inner ear function to evaluate the parameters of the suggested models for normal, pathological and reconstructed ears and to refine them in their structure. The collected papers point out the positive accomplishments that can be derived from quantitative multidisciplinary approaches to hearing science. This volume is indispensable reading for audiologists, physicians and hearing scientists interested in the mechanics and acoustics of the auditory periphery.
