In order to detail the characteristics of end-point (EPN) and rebound nystagmus (RN), two series of experiments were performed with infrared oculography for measurement of horizontal eye movements. Experiment 1 consisted of EPN recordings during sustained lateral gaze (40 degrees and 50 degrees) in 20 normal subjects. Experiment 2 consisted of recordings of RN in 5 normal subjects. Nine of 20 s...

The mechanism of postinhibitory rebound increase in GH secretion was studied in 5 normal and 7 acromegalic subjects. Both normal and acromegalic subjects showed prompt GH decreases during the infusion of somatostatin (500 micrograms/75 min) (% decrease: 69.1 +/- 10.4 vs. 73.9 +/- 6.5) and rebound rises after its termination. The rebound rises occurred more promptly and markedly in normal contro...

I n recent years, the so-called Rebound effects that stem from energy efficiency gains have been of increasing interest in the economic literature. This effect happens when improvements in energy efficiency stimulate energy demand rather than decrease it. In the recent paper using Social Accounting Matrix data on the economy of Iran, the previous research has been extended on this field by...

The induction of demand by increasing the efficiency of a production or consumption process is known as the rebound effect. Feedback loops in System Dynamics can be used to conceptualize the structure of this complex phenomenon and also for communicating model-based insights. In passenger transport, the rebound effect can be induced through increased cost efficiency (direct economic rebound) an...

When beta adrenergic receptor blocker (BB) is stopped abruptly, tachycardia, blood pressure raise, increased number of anginal attacks, worsening of HF symptoms, etc. may ensue, which is known as “BB rebound phenomenon”. Thus, the aim of the paper is four-fold: to review the topic (BB rebound phenomenon); to illustrate BB rebound presence in everyday practice; to provide Guidelines’ view on BB ...

This paper presents a critical review of the literature on the rebound effects generated by information and communication technologies (ICT). Following a discussion of the types of general rebound, including direct, indirect, and economy-wide, the literature on ICT-related rebound effects is critically assessed. The chapter suggests ways of overcoming rebound and lays out promising avenues of r...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Direct rebound Indirect rebound Residential energy demand Energy efficiency Input–output model This is the second part of a two-part paper that integrates economic and industrial ecology methods to estimate the indirect rebound effect from residential energy efficiency investments. We apply the model developed in part one to simulate the indirect rebound, given a...
