The study analyzed all claims data for reimbursable medical services and drugs rendered to 18- to 50-year-old Medicaid recipients in the State of Georgia over a 3-year period. A cohort of 6,443 schizophrenia patients were identified by inspecting the medical history data for claims indicative of schizophrenia (ICD-9-CM 295.xx). A crude prevalence of 6.02 percent was identified. Use patterns and...

Exceptional behavior of light-matter interaction in the extreme ultraviolet is demonstrated. The photoionization of different rare gases was compared at the free-electron laser in Hamburg, FLASH, by applying ion spectroscopy at the wavelength of 13.7 nm and irradiance levels of thousands of terawatts per square centimeter. In the case of xenon, the degree of nonlinear photoionization was found ...

We discuss CM abelian varieties in characteristic zero, and in positive characteristic. An abelian variety over a finite field is a CM abelian variety, as Tate proved. Can it be CM-lifted to characteristic zero? Does there exist an abelian variety of dimension g > 3 not isogenous with the Jacobian of an algebraic curve? Can we construct algebraic curves, say over C, where the Jacobian is a

We will introduce the notion of a variety (or more generally a motive) of CM-type which gen-eralises the well known notion of abelian variety of CM-type. Just as in that particular case it will turn out that the cohomology of the variety is determined by purely combinatorial data; the type of the variety. As applications we will show that the ℓ-adic representations are given by algebraic Hecke ...

In a previous paper 6], we noted that the CM-2's natural data layout is not conducive to exchanging data with other machines. In order for CM-2 data to be understandable to a remote machine, a bitwise transpose must be performed on the data. Each bit in an n bit value must be transmitted to a diierent processor, requiring n send operations through the CM-2's global router network. The time requ...

OBJECTIVE This study examines the relationship between evidence-based appropriateness criteria for neurologic imaging procedures and Medicare payment determinations. The primary research question is whether Medicare is more likely to pay for imaging procedures as the level of appropriateness increases. DATA SOURCES The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria (ACRAC) for neurolo...
