Compensation Systems and Efficient Deterrence

Compensation Strategies for Shunt Active Power Filter in Single- and Three-Phase Systems: Different Formulation, Comparison and Evaluation

PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE PLEASE DO NOT CITE How Does Proactive Disclosure of Medical Error Affect Settlement, Suit, and the Accuracy of Compensation and Deterrence?

The current system of resolving allegations of medical malpractice neither reliably compensates injured patients nor reliably deters negligence on the part of providers. Recently, a few hospitals have begun experimenting with a change from a policy of categorically denying fault and refusing payment to a policy of routinely and fully disclosing all unexpected adverse events to patients, even ad...

Systematic review of the prevention incentives of insurance and regulatory mechanisms for occupational health and safety.

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the strength of evidence on the effectiveness of two policy levers-the experience rating of workers' compensation insurance and the enforcement of occupational health and safety regulation-in creating incentives for firms to focus on health and safety issues. METHODS An extensive systematic literature review was undertaken in an effort t...

Time Delay and Data Dropout Compensation in Networked Control Systems Using Extended Kalman Filter

In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...

Modelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method

Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
