Effective Coverage Targets for Ocean Protection

Effective Coverage as a New Metric for Monitoring Progress towards Universal Health Coverage

Effective Coverage: A Metric for Monitoring Universal Health Coverage

A major challenge in monitoring universal health coverage (UHC) is identifying an indicator that can adequately capture the multiple components underlying the UHC initiative. Effective coverage, which unites individual and intervention characteristics into a single metric, offers a direct and flexible means to measure health system performance at different levels. We view effective coverage as ...

Effective Neutron Targets

Because of the lack of a free neutron target, deuterium targets have been used extensively in studying the neutron structure. The unique spin structure of the 3He ground state wave function and the recent developments in laser technologies made polarized 3He targets widely used in many experiments from neutron electromagnetic form factor studies to nucleon spin structure function measurements a...

Fractal Models of Foam Coverage for Ocean Microwave Remote Sensing

Introduction. Methods of fractal geometry are widely used in geophysics and remote sensing for analyses of natural objects and dynamical systems beginning from the fundamental works of Mandelbrot [1]. In particular, in the mid 1990s, a number of authors [2, 3, 4, 5] established an idea that wave breaking and foam/whitecap fields observed in stormy oceans have a universal (multi)fractal characte...

Effective Protection Redux*

This paper rehabilitates effective protection. In general equilibrium, the usual definition (the percentage change in value added per unit induced by the tariff structure) corresponds to no economically interesting magnitude. The effective rate of protection for sector j is defined here as the uniform tariff which is equivalent to the actual differentiated tariff structure in its effect on the ...
