This paper examines the objectives of a funding policy for rehabilitation services. A casemix funding system comprises two sets of instruments: a classification system and a payment system. Attention is given to identifying which policy objectives are best pursued through each of these instruments. The paper then analyses the effect of various instruments on creating incentives for efficiency a...

The principal objective was to measure the magnetic fields occurring in dental surgeries at simultaneous subtraction of direct ground component of the magnetic field. A specifically designed instrument with the Hall probe was used for the measurement. It consisted of two amplifiers and a low frequency filter. Its task was to measure mean square values of the field (RMS) dependent on the positio...

This paper examines electronic instruments that incorporate dynamical systems, where the behaviour of the instrument depends not only upon the immediate input to the instrument, but also on the past input. Five instruments are presented as case studies: Michel Waisvisz’ Cracklebox, Dylan Menzies’ Spiro, no-input mixing desk, the author’s Feedback Joypad, and microphone-loudspeaker feedback. Lin...

Electronic musical instruments consist of some kind of sensor/input system, software to interpret the sensed data, and sound synthesis. Electronic instruments should provide intimate and satisfying control over sound comparable to the control that an expert musician has over a fine acoustic instrument. These elements are necessary for such electronic instruments: low latency and virtually no ji...

Providing banking services, especially online banking and electronic payment systems, has always been associated with high concerns about security risks.
