OBJECTIVES To determine the impact of introducing copayments on medical care use and expenditures for low-income, adult Medicaid beneficiaries. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) implemented copayments and other benefit changes for some adult beneficiaries in February 2003. STUDY DESIGN Copayment effects were measured as the "difference-in-difference" in average monthly...

This paper is intended to sum up the results of the Second International Workshop on Software Engineering for Large-Scale Multi-Agent Systems (SELMAS’03) held in Portland, Oregon, USA, May 3-4, 2003, as part of the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE’03). The main purpose of this workshop was to share and pool the collective experience of people, both academics and practition...

0-7803-7952-7/03/$17.00  2003 IEEE. Abstract This paper discusses the problem of modelling and simulation of traffic systems, and presents the traffic simulator SITS (Simulator of Intelligent Transportation Systems). The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach considering different types of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis of several traffic phenomena is then addres...

The year 2003 marked the 100th anniversary of both the birth of John von Neumann and the first manned flight with a power plane. In the current paper, from a Dutch perspective, attention is paid to the great importance of both events for computational fluid dynamics in general and computational aerodynamics in particular. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 01-08; 65-03

We provide a formal definition of information flows in XML transformations and, more generally, in the presence of type driven computations and describe a sound technique to detect transformations that may leak private or confidential information. We also outline a general framework to check middlewarelocated information flows. In ASIAN '03, Le ture Notes in Computer S ien e, ????:??-??, c Spri...

Methods for expressing a heteromeric taste receptor that responds to umami taste stimuli are provided. These methods comprise the co-expression of T1R1 and T1R3 nucleic acid sequences in a host cell that desirably also expresses a G protein that couples therewith, e.g., G.sub..alpha.15 and G.sub..alpha.16 or gustducin. In preferred embodiments, the host cells will be mammalian cells or Xenopus ...

We discuss two different nonlinear generalizations of the osp(2|2) supersymmetry which arise in superconformal mechanics and fermion-monopole models. Submitted to the Proceedings of the International Workshop “Supersymmetries and Quantum Symmetries” (SQS’03, Dubna, Russia, 24-29 July 2003)
