Increasing medical practice referrals – 9 steps to creating and preserving your patient pipeline

January 24, 2012

Referrals are the lifeblood of any specialty practice, but a recent study suggests that physician office visits – and thus referrals – may be in decline. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the number of office visits by privately insured patients under the age of 65 declined by 17 percent in 2009-2010. At the same time, the number of privately insured persons under the age of 65 declined just 2 percent.

The Characters of Biorthogonal Two-directional Finitely Supported Wavelet Wraps with Three-scaled Filter Banks

December 28, 2011

Publication year: 2011 Source: Energy Procedia, Volume 11, 2011, Pages 234-239 Honglin Guo This research proposes a novel method constructing two-directional biorthogonal wavelet wraps. The notion of biorthogonal two-directional finitely supported bivariate wavelet wraps with three-scale is introduced. Their properties is investigated by means of time-frequency analysis method, matrix theory, iteration method and operator theory

Design of ZCZ Sequences with Inter-Group Orthogonal Properties for CDMA Communication Systems

December 28, 2011

Publication year: 2011 Source: Energy Procedia, Volume 11, 2011, Pages 240-248 Zhenyu Zhang, Fanxin Zeng, Yi Liu, Guixin Xuan This paper introduces a method to generated inter-group orthogonal (IGO) zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequences suitable for code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems. The designed IGO ZCZ sequence set can be divided into multiple sequence groups with each sequence group including the same number of sequences and the same ZCZ width. Every sequence group in the whole IGO ZCZ sequence set can be considered as a traditional ZCZ sequence set

A More Realistic Highway Traffic Simulation Model Considering the Following Car Horning

December 28, 2011

Publication year: 2011 Source: Energy Procedia, Volume 11, 2011, Pages 255-264 Wang Tao In the present paper, a new CA-based model considering the following car horning is established and is analyzed in great detail. Firstly, how the following car horning can influence the traffic system is discussed. Secondly, by applying the cross-covariance method, proper parameters are indicated to explore the phase transition features of the model.
