Testing the Bed-Blocking Hypothesis: Does Nursing and Care Home Supply Reduce Delayed Hospital Discharges?
Hospital bed-blocking occurs when hospital patients are ready to be discharged to a nursing home, but no place is available, so that hospital care acts as a more costly substitute for long-term care. We investigate the extent to which greater supply of nursing home beds or lower prices can reduce hospital bed-blocking using a new Local Authority (LA) level administrative data from England on ho...
متن کاملFine bed material in pools of natural gravel bed channels
Natural gravel bed channels commonly contain a fine mode of sand and fine gravel that fills voids of the bed framework of coarser gravel. If the supply of fine bed material exceeds the storage capacity of framework voids, excess fine material forms surficial patches, which can be voluminous in pools during low flow. Data collected in 34 natural channels in northern California and southern Orego...
متن کاملCalculating bed load transport in steep boulder bed channels
[1] Steep, rough channels occupy a large fraction of the total channel length in mountainous regions. Most sediment mobilized on hillslopes must pass through these streams before reaching lower-gradient channels. Steep channels have wide grain size distributions that are composed of finer, more mobile sediment and large, rarely mobile grains. The large grains can bear a significant portion of t...
متن کاملBlocking and Double Blocking Sets in Finite Planes
In this paper, by using properties of Baer subplanes, we describe the construction of a minimal blocking set in the Hall plane of order q2 of size q2 + 2q + 2 admitting ∗This author has been supported as a postdoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders (Belgium) (FWO). †This author was supported by a Visiting Professor grant of the Special Research Fund Ghent University (BOF project nu...
متن کاملOn Blocking and Anti-Blocking Polyhedra in Infinite Dimensions
We consider the natural generalizations of blocking and antiblocking polyhedra in infinite dimensions, and study issues related to duality and integrality of extreme points for these sets. Using appropriate finite truncations we give conditions under which complementary slackness holds for primal-dual pairs of the infinite linear programming problems associated with infinite blocking and anti-b...
