✦ Synopsis


Some ad hoc studies are reported which investigated the use of added damping layers at the base of a wind-tunnel model of a chimney as a means of increasing its overall structural damping. Significant increases in the logarithmic decrement were obtained from decaying free-vibration tests and in subsequent wind-tunnel tests corresponding decreases in windexcited tip response were measured.

It was concluded that the technique is promising for wind-tunnel parametric studies in which significant changes in the structural damping are required and recommends further work.

The effects of changing financial incentives on physician's practice behaviour have long been of interest to researchers and policy makers. We test a model of physician volume response within the context of multiple payers developed by Thomas McGuire and Mark Pauly. A panel data set covering dischar
