Curves That Must Be Retraced
We exhibit a polynomial time computable plane curve Γ that has finite length, does not intersect itself, and is smooth except at one endpoint, but has the following property. For every computable parametrization f of Γ and every positive integer n, there is some positive-length subcurve of Γ that f retraces at least n times. In contrast, every computable curve of finite length that does not int...

متن کاملSilent myocardial ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus.
50 patients with diabetes were compared with 20 non-diabetic subjects, with respect to the prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia, by means of treadmill exercise testing. Results of treadmill exercise testing showed ischemia in 14 of the 50 diabetic patients (mean age 49.2 * 1.3) and in 2 of 20 non-diabetic control subjects (mean age 49 * 6 y.) (28%VS lo%, P < 0.05). Diabetics with “positive ...

The key lies in designing and revising the fee schedule, which not only defines and sets the fee for each item, but also the conditions of billing. Adherence to these regulations must be strictly audited in order to c...
