We develop and implement a new method for identifying wasted subsidies, use it to provide systematic evidence on the misallocation of carbon offsets in Clean Development Mechanism—the world’s largest offset program. Using newly constructed data locations characteristics 1,350 wind farms India—a context where was believed, ex ante, that Mechanism could significantly increase development above ba...

Direct conversion receivers in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems suffer from direct current (DC) offset, frequency offset, and IQ imbalance. We have proposed an IQ imbalance estimation scheme in the presence of DC offset and frequency offset, which uses preamble signals in the time domain. In this scheme, the DC offset is eliminated by a differential filter. However, the...

Offset curves have diverse engineering applications, which have consequently motivated extensive research concerning various offset techniques. Offset research in the early 1980s focused on approximation techniques to solve immediate application problems in practice. This trend continued until 1988, when Hoschek [1, 2] applied non-linear optimization techniques to the offset approximation probl...

For increasing time values, isochrons can be regarded as expanding wavefronts and their perpendicular lines as the associated orthogonal isochron rays. The speed of the isochron movement depends on the medium velocity and the source-receiver position. We introduce the term equivalent-velocity to refer to the speed of isochron movement. In the particular case of zero-offset data, the equivalent ...
