MATERIAL AND METHODS In 2009 the office of the Bank of Greenland had a total renovation of the building, including new furniture...

We study some properties of a class of random connected planar fractal sets induced by a Poissonian scale-invariant and translation-invariant point process. Using the second-moment method, we show that their Hausdorff dimensions are deterministic and equal to their expectation dimension. We also estimate their low-intensity limiting behavior. This applies in particular to the “conformal loop en...

Introduction Most developed countries use case-mix systems (APRDRG-type) to define the prospective budgets of their hospitals. However, these case-mix systems are based mainly on the main diagnosis and procedures and do not take into account the specificity of geriatric patients. In the present study, we use all geriatric tools (RAI, RUGs, RIM, etc.) to evaluate the needs of acute geriatric hos...
