AbstractMoney is the default way in which intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, are currently valued and compensated in law courts. Economists have suggested that subjective well-being regressions can be used to guide compensation payouts for psychological distress following traumatic life events. We bring together studies from law, economic, psychology and medical journals to show tha...

Circadian rhythms are daily oscillations in behaviors that persist in constant light/dark conditions with periods close to 24 h. A striking feature of these rhythms is that their periods remain fairly constant over a wide range of physiological temperatures, a feature called temperature compensation. Although circadian rhythms have been associated with periodic oscillations in mRNA and protein ...

We present a compensated Horner scheme, that is an accurate and fast algorithm to evaluate univariate polynomials in floating point arithmetic. The accuracy of the computed result is similar to the one given by the Horner scheme computed in twice the working precision. This compensated Horner scheme runs at least as fast as existing implementations producing the same output accuracy. We also pr...

Motion Compensated Noise Reduction

The study identified a sub-group of respondents adopting a negative response style in consumer tendency surveys and investigated their influence on aggregate household inflation expectations. Households prone to negative response style were identified using multi-group latent class models. The data source was the State of the Household Survey, conducted following European Commission methodology...

When a worker suffers a temporary loss of wages because of a work-connected illness or injury, his wage loss will usually be compensated under the wo&men?s compensation law of his State. If the loss of income results from an illness or injury incurred off the job, which is far m,ore common, the possibilities of wage replacement vary, depending usually on the loca,tion of his work or the protect...

In this paper we present a novel motion compensated deinterlacing scheme based on a joint variational framework of motion estimation and creation of new pixel values. We propose a specific energy formulation for that purpose, optimized by solving corresponding EulerLagrange equations. The difficult issue of calculating motion on interlaced image sequences is addressed and the presented algorith...

Introduction: Motion during data acquisition can seriously degrade image quality. Motion compensated reconstruction can restore image quality if the motion is measured with suitable navigator signals. We present a new scheme for motion compensated reconstruction which can be applied to segmented Cartesian acquisitions (e.g. TSE, TFE). It can be combined with parallel imaging and is fast because...
