Curves That Must Be Retraced
We exhibit a polynomial time computable plane curve Γ that has finite length, does not intersect itself, and is smooth except at one endpoint, but has the following property. For every computable parametrization f of Γ and every positive integer n, there is some positive-length subcurve of Γ that f retraces at least n times. In contrast, every computable curve of finite length that does not int...
متن کاملThe Number of Faces of a Simplicial Convex Polytope
Let P be a simplicial convex d-polytope with fi = fi(P) faces of dimension i. of integers was necessary and sufficient for f to be the f-vector of some simplicial convex d-polytope. Billera and Lee [l] proved the sufficiency of McMullen's condition. In this paper we prove necessity. Thus McMullen's conjecture is completely verified. First we describe McMullen's condition. Given a simplicial con...
متن کاملFee-for-Service Payment – An Evil Practice that Must be Stamped Out?
Co-opting physicians to regulate Fee-for-Service (FFS) payment is more feasible and simpler to administer than capitation, Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) and pay-for-performance. The key lies in designing and revising the fee schedule, which not only defines and sets the fee for each item, but also the conditions of billing. Adherence to these regulations must be strictly audited in order to c...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis; a pathogen that should be considered in Iran
Background: Staphylococcus lugdunensis is Gram-positive cocci of the staphylococcaceae family. S. lugdunensis despite having a clotting factor (wall coagulase), was classified in the coagulase negative staphylococcus group (CoNS) for lack of free coagulase. Although this bacterium is part of the human normal flora, in terms of virulence, S. lugdunensis is in second place after S. aureus. S. lug...
متن کاملElectronic cigarettes and youth: a gateway that must be shut.
Anew study by Khoury and colleagues 1 reports that 10% of a representative cohort of grade 9 students in Ontario had tried electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). This finding is likely an underestimate of rates across Canada: a 2013 study found substantial interprovincial variation in e-cigarette initiation among youth, with rates in Quebec double those in Ontario.2 Khoury and colleagues found t...
