Public and private sector activities often bring about undesired income-distributional effects, and these give rise to considerations of ways to compensate the losers. When "lump-sum" compensation is not possible, "second-best" compensation arrangements need to be identified and evaluated. The term "compensation" is often used to mean explicit payments from those who gain from a policy change, ...

For anomalous trichromats, threshold contrasts for color differences captured by the L and M cones and their anomalous analogs are much higher than for normal trichromats. The greater spectral overlap of the cone sensitivities reduces chromatic contrast both at and above threshold. But above threshold, adaptively nonlinear processing might compensate for the chromatically impoverished photorece...

Introduction: Motion compensation (MoCo) is one of the key steps to gather well-focused images for airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). For SAR systems operating at low frequencies, e.g. the VHF/ UHF band, wide-beam processing is needed in MoCo to deal with the angular dependent motion error. Therefore, a sub-aperture MoCo algorithm was proposed [1] to compensate for the motion error across...

Abstract Copyright compensation is a special civil remedy for copyright infringements and the unlawful use of according to Finnish legislation. Its purpose ensure rightholder in situations where infringement evident, but proving harm or loss difficult. aims prevent infringing copyrighted material. This article studies which purposes may be pursued with criteria must fulfilled this pursuit. The ...

BACKGROUND A health certificate is required to work on the offshore petroleum installations of the Norwegian Shelf. Loss of health certificate (loss of licence, LOL) may cause economic problems for the individual worker. A private compensation system (OSO) was established for Norwegian offshore workers in 2002, comprising 8000-11,000 individual members of workers organisations: approximately on...

Attenuation in seismic wave propagation is a common cause for poor illumination of subsurface structures. Attempts to compensate for amplitude loss in seismic images by amplifying the wavefield may boost high-frequency components and create undesirable imaging artifacts. In this paper, rather than amplifying the wavefield directly, we develop a stable compensation operator using smooth division...

Patients who receive worker's compensation or are awaiting litigation after an accident have long been regarded as neurotics or malingerers who are exaggerating their pain for financial gain. However, there is a growing body of evidence that patients who receive worker's compensation are no different from patients who do not. In particular, a recent study found no differences between compensati...

Purpose: To demonstrate compensatory lung growth (CLG) by lung contents of proteins, DNA, and RNA in undernourished young adult rats, submitted to pulmonary trilobectomy. Methods: We used 137 male Wistar rats, randomly distributed into 9 groups; they were submitted to three treatments (control, thoracotomy, and trilobectomy), and sacrificed at three different times (7, 30, and 90 days). In tril...
