Is It Feasible or Desirable?
During the past decade, advances in device technology (eg, drug-eluting stents), development of safer anticoagulants (eg, bivalirudin), and refinement in procedural techniques have led to a dramatic improvement in the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), despite increasing clinical and anatomic complexity of treated patients.1 As safety and effectiveness have be...
متن کاملEscalating health care spending: is it desirable or inevitable?
This study analyzes changing trends in U.S. health spending and concludes that although the long-term growth trend has been a good predictor of future spending, periodic differences in the growth trend are important. Of particular concern is the rapid acceleration in health spending beginning in 1998. If left unchecked, the current growth rate will result in almost 24 percent of GDP spent on he...
متن کاملCommentary: Is disfluency desirable?
For good reasons, the results reported by Diemand-Yauman et al. (2011), accompanied by the clever title, BFortune favors the bold (and the italicized): effects of disfluency on educational outcomes,^ have had a big impact, not only among researchers, but also in the public media. First, from a common-sense standpoint, why should making to-be-learned materials harder to read by virtue of a more-...
متن کاملIs Income Mobility Socially Desirable?
In welfare economics the relevance of income mobility has been often highlighted in order to allow for the measurement of equality of opportunity. In this paper we observe that intra and intergenerational income mobility have very few in common and, in particular, only the latter concerns with equality of opportunity. In contrast with existing literature we focus on the former not the latter, a...
متن کاملA FETI Method for a Class of Indefinite or Complex Second- or Fourth-Order Problems
The FETI-DP domain decomposition method is extended to address the iterative solution of a class of indefinite problems of the form (K−σM)x = b, and a class of complex problems of the form (K − σM + iσD)x = b, where K, M, and D are three real symmetric positive semi-definite matrices arising from the finite element discretization of either second-order elastodynamic problems or fourth-order pla...
