Is "Diversity" Diverse Enough?
Asian American Law Journal, 2014Having survived the latest assault against it in Fisher v. University of Texas, the diversity rationale for affirmative action continues to rule the day in admissions offices across American universities, including law schools. Yet, there is a striking degree of uniformity about what actually constitutes "diversity"; law schools appear to strive for ...

Diversity und Managing Diversity
2002„Economic, social, political, and technological changes have converged and emerged to change the contours of the world of work, leaving us with new markets, new corporate institutions to serve those markets, and new jobs to produce new goods for the world’s new consumers“1 .

Entropies such as the Shannon–Wiener and Gini–Simpson indices are not themselves diversities. Conversion of these to effective number of species is the key to a unified and intuitive interpretation of diversity.

The notion of diversity is an issue that is of relevance in several contexts. For example, the biodiversity of a given ecological environment and the diversity of the options available to a decision maker have attracted some attention in recent research.

User cooperation diversity. Part I. System description
IEEE Transactions on Communications, 2003Mobile users' data rate and quality of service are limited by the fact that, within the duration of any given call, they experience severe variations in signal attenuation, thereby necessitating the use of some type of diversity.

The B73 Maize Genome: Complexity, Diversity, and Dynamics
Science, 2009A-Maize-ing Maize is one of our oldest and most important crops, having been domesticated approximately 9000 years ago in central Mexico. Schnable et al. (p. 1112; see the cover) present the results of sequencing the B73 inbred maize line.

ECOLOGY There is huge geographical variation, especially between polar and equatorial regions, in the numbers of terrestrial plant and animal species. Ecologists have wrestled with a variety of competing hypotheses—energy availability, habitat heterogeneity, area, and geometric constraints being the major classes—to explain these patterns.

The Nonconcept of Species Diversity: A Critique and Alternative Parameters.
Ecology, 1971The recent literature on species diversity contains many semantic, conceptual, and technical problems. It is suggested that, as a result of these problems, species diversity has become a meaningless concept, that the term be abandoned, and that ...

The Diversity of Diversity Education
2018This chapter approaches diversity as contextually defined and institutionally embedded. We argue that diversity is not one thing or one set of preferred, universal practices, rather it is a fluid concept defined and enacted for the institutional purpose at hand.

Diversity Is Generated with Diversity
1993Whereas the thymic differentiation step appears universal for all species studied so far, different developmental pathways of B cell differentiation have evolved in divergent species (Weill and Reynaud 1992). Accordingly, rules that were thought to be of general value for B cell development have to be replaced by new ones as these new models are being ...
