The Performance-Potential-Metamodel PerPot describes the dynamics of load performance interaction by means of delayed flows between potentials. The basic idea is that of antagonism: The load input in the same way feeds a strain potential as well as a response potential, which then decrease respectively increase the performance potential by delayed flows. These delays play an important role in c...

One of the rare consensus among the different resources-base economic analytical approaches concerns to the strategic role of the mineral rent, as a decisive tool to assure that the temporary wealth generated in the present can turn into permanent income in the future. For this reason, the evaluation, distribution and use of the mining rent plays a central part in the mining city’s development ...

In this study, the signal paths in intrabody communication channels are discussed by evaluating the electric fluxes between conductors and the earth ground. This study is based on the equivalent circuit model of which parameters are obtained via an electrostatic analysis. The obtained results clarified the electric flux flows in the communication channels, and they quantitatively support the pr...

one of the important subjects with regard to general average is the demand for compensation. the substantial question is whether the basis for the permissibility of demand for compensation on the part of the damage sufferer is the incur of peril during a voyage or not? according to the legal systems under the present study (england, france, iran and york-antwerp rules), this research reveals th...

Background: There are many cases in which the accused does not deserve to be detained and is detained without observing the legal terms and conditions or imprisoned due to a judicial error. In such cases, compensation for an innocent detainee is an important issue that needs to be addressed due to the violation of the fundamental rights of individuals. Therefore, the purpose of the present stud...

Background Animal growth is often constrained by unfavourable conditions and divergences from optimal body size can be detrimental to an individual's fitness, particularly in species with determinate growth and a narrow time-frame for life-time reproduction. Growth restriction in early juvenile stages can later be compensated by means of plastic developmental responses, such as adaptive catch-u...

The horn loudspeaker suffers from producing high distortions. Based on an physical model an equivalent lumped parameter circuit is determined for a horn loaded compression driver. From the nonlinear differential equation of this circuit, a compensation algorithm is implemented on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for reducing nonlinear distortion caused by the behaviour of air. Test results are ...

In this study, an image backlight compensation method using adaptive luminance modification is proposed for efficiently obtaining clear images.The proposed method combines the fuzzy C-means clustering method, a recurrent functional neural fuzzy network (RFNFN), and a modified differential evolution.The proposed RFNFN is based on the two backlight factors that can accurately detect the compensat...

background: health hazards associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity which is a part of our physical environment are of great concern. in order to assess the risks associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity in soil and building materials, extensive studies have been carried out all over the world. the most commonly encountered radionuclide’s are 238u, 232th, their...
