US drug marketing: how does promotion correspond with health value?
The pharmaceutical industry uses a variety of techniques to promote its products to clinicians, including gifts and free food, advertisements, and detailing by company representatives. Although manufacturers might argue that drug promotion supports physician education, which in turn leads to more informed prescribing, studies have shown that greater contact with drug sales representatives is as...
متن کاملModeling the forest transition: forest scarcity and ecosystem service hypotheses.
An historical generalization about forest cover change in which rapid deforestation gives way over time to forest restoration is called "the forest transition." Prior research on the forest transition leaves three important questions unanswered: (1) How does forest loss influence an individual landowner's incentives to reforest? (2) How does the forest recovery rate affect the likelihood of for...

Web-based Doodle polls, where respondents indicate their availability for a collection of times provided by the poll initiator, are an increasingly common way of selecting a time for an event or meeting. Yet group dynamics can markedly influence an individual’s response, and thus the overall solution quality. Via theoretical worst-case analysis, we analyze certain common behaviors of Doodle pol...
متن کاملHow Well do Bayes Methods
We look at sequential classiication and regression problems in which ff1g-labeled instances are given on-line, one at a time, and for each new instance, before seeing the label, the learning system must either predict the label, or estimate the probability that the label is +1. We look at the performance of Bayes method for this task, as measured by the total number of mistakes for the classiic...
متن کامل[Measurement of terrestrial ecosystem service value in China].
With the measurement of net primary productivity and vegetation coverage fraction based on remote sensing data,the terrestrial ecosystem service value of China in 2000 was quantitatively estimated as 9.17 x 10(12) yuan (RMB). The spatial distribution of the ecological service value showed a decreasing trend from southeast China to northwest China, which was consistent with the regional distribu...
