Affine Illumination Compensation on Hyperspectral/Multiangular Remote Sensing Images
2011
The huge amount of information some of the new optical satellites developed nowadays will create demands to quickly and reliably compensate for changes in the atmospheric transmittance and varying solar illumination conditions. In this paper three different forms of affine transformation models (general, particular and diagonal) are considered as candidates for rapid compensation of illumination variations. They are tested on a group of three pairs of CHRISPROBA radiance images obtained in a test field in Barrax (Spain), and where there is a difference in the atmospheric as well as in the geometrical acquisition conditions. Results indicate that the proposed methodology is satisfactory for …
Industrial Areas and the City. Equalization and Compensation in a Value-Oriented Allocation Pattern
2016
This study deals with the allocation of the firms in a large industrial area of Quarto, a town in the Naples’ district subject to a “Piano di Insediamenti Industriali” – PIP (Industrial Settlement Masterplan). The main concern of the Municipality is the fair integration between environmental issues, economic development and urban identity. Therefore a structured evaluation process, based on a survey about the company profiles and their geographical location, has been carried out in order to make the plan meet the needs of the firms, and to select the best companies to settle in the planned area. A “generative” MAVT pattern has been designed to outline several layout options and to select th…
Organisational and individual resources as antecedents of older nursing professionals’ organisational commitment : Investigating the mediating effect…
2021
Aim and objectives To investigate how organisational and individual resources are linked to older (50+) nursing professionals’ organisational commitment, and to examine the possible mediating role of the active use of selection, optimisation and compensation (SOC) strategies. Background Many healthcare organisations need to find ways to retain their older nursing professionals due to nursing shortage. Design To test a set of hypotheses, cross-sectional survey data (n = 396) were used. Data were analysed using correlation analysis and partial least-squares structural equation modelling. STROBE Statement for cross-sectional studies has been followed in this study. Results The results exhibite…
Cross-modal interactions between taste and smell: Odour-induced saltiness enhancement depends on salt level
2011
International audience; In recent years, health concerns related to salt have led to extensive research on low-salt foods. One major remaining issue is to reduce sodium content while still providing the salty fix, to maintain food appreciation, acceptance and choice. Using well-selected odours has been proposed to compensate for sodium chloride reduction in food, due to the cross-modal interactions between odour and taste. However, interactions between taste and odour, with regards to saltiness, remain poorly investigated. Moreover, although a few studies have assessed the influences of odour and sweet supra-threshold intensity on cross-modal interactions, none focused directly on how they …
Gas-liquid chromatography and lipophilicity of esters of benzoic acids
1987
Abstract The use of gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) retention indices for the determination of lipophilicity was studied for a series of alkyl and arylalkyl esters of substituted benzoic acids. The regression relationships between the logarithms of the partition coefficients and the retention characteristics measured on two cpillary columns, SE-30 and OV-351, were evaluated. The behaviour of arylalkyl esters and of alkyl esters cannot be expressed in terms of a single regression equation. This is probably a consequence of the effect of the intramolecular hydrophobic interaction upon the retention of arylalkyl esters under GLC conditions. An analysis of the isokinetic relationships revealed…
Spectrophotometric study on the thermodynamics of binding of α- and β-cyclodextrin towards some p-nitrobenzene derivativesElectronic supplementary in…
2003
Binding properties of native α- and β-cyclodextrin towards some nitrobenzene derivatives have been studied by means of UV-vis spectrophotometry. The former host is able to form complexes having 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 stoichiometric ratios with these guests, while only 1 : 1 complexes are detected with the latter host. A careful analysis of the thermodynamic parameters for complexation equilibria, under the perspective of the enthalpy–entropy compensation effect, reveals that binding abilities of the two different hosts are subject to different features.
Effect of the color of the intraocular lens on optical and visual quality
2014
Purpose: To analyze the optical quality of intraocular lenses (IOL) with an orange (PC440Y) and a yellow (SN60AT) filter, and correlate these results with the visual quality of patients with these implants. Setting: Fisabio Oftalmología Médica, Valencia, Spain. Design: Randomized prospective study. Materials and Methods: The IOL optical quality was determined using the modulation transfer function (MTF) and the spectral transmission. The visual quality of 87 eyes with cataract (51 with orange filter and 36 with yellow filter) was determined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and contrast sensitivity function (CSF) under photopic and mesopic conditions. To analyze the results, we use a S…
Kompensācija cietušajam par nodarīto kaitējumu kriminālprocesā
2015
Mūsdienās aizvien ir aktuāla morālā kaitējuma kompensācijas noteikšana kriminālprocesā, it sevišķi tāpēc, ka morālam kaitējumam nepastāv precīzi nosakāms naudas ekvivalents. Darba mērķis ir izveidot universālu, ilgspējīgu morālā kaitējuma noteikšanas koncepciju, skaidri noteikt kritērijus, kuri tiesnešiem jāņem vērā, lemjot par kaitējuma kompensācijas apmēru, turklāt izpētīt arī praktiskos jautājumus, kas saistās ar kompensācijas pieteikšanu. Pētījuma rezultātā izstrādāta ilgspējīga morālā kaitējuma koncepcija, kurā noteikti rekomendējoši, taču aptuveni kompensācijas piešķiršanas apmēri, kā arī piedāvāti vairāki Kriminālprocesa likuma grozījumi.
Umorzenie postępowania karnego na podstawie art. 59a k.k. – wybrane zagadnienia
2016
Discontinuation of proceedings under Article 59a of the Criminal Code is a new institution in Polish criminal law. This article discusses selected issues relating to the premises for the application of Article 59a of the Criminal Code in practice. In view of the use by the legislator in Article 59a of the Criminal Code of concepts with vague meanings, their possible interpretations were proposed. It has been suggested that a rephrasing of the provision in ąuestion should be considered, in order to ensure the possibility of applying the said institution to a wider range of misdemeanours, as compensatory discontinuation is intended by the legislator to fulfil the redress function of proceedin…
