Specialty cardiac hospitals: how special are they?
Specialty hospitals, owned and operated by physicians with an expertise in a particular medical condition, offer the opportunity to design a utopian care environment for optimal delivery of care. In fact, the concept of specialty heart hospitals dates back to the mid-19th century in England, with the opening in 1857 of London’s National Hospital for Diseases of the Heart and Paralysis. The inst...
متن کاملHypergeometric Functions, How Special Are They?
where a, b, c are rational parameters. By specialization of the parameters, Euler obtained the various classical functions that were around at that time. For example, taking b = c = 1 gives us Newton’s binomial series for (1 − z)−a and taking a = b = 1/2, c = 3/2 gives us arcsin(√z)/√z. Finally, taking all parameters equal to 1 recovers the ordinary geometric series, which more or less explains...
متن کاملIT Mega Projects: What They Are and Why They Are Special
In the last few years an increasing number of very large, publicly funded, IT development projects have gained significant media attention due to cases of budget overrun, management problems or outright failure. Examples of such projects include the European Galileo, the German Toll Collect project, or the Australian Custom’s Integrated Cargo System (ICS). Further projects in an earlier lifecyc...
متن کاملPerceptual cues of whispered tones: are they really special?
This paper reports our initial findings on whether Mandarin Chinese has developed effective strategies to convey tonal information in whispered speech. We recorded phonated and whispered tones in monosyllabic words, and analyzed the acoustic properties of the tonal contrasts. We then generated amplitude-modulated noise based on both the phonated and whispered utterances and used them as stimuli...
متن کاملSpecialized mechanisms for theory of mind: are mental representations special because they are mental or because they are representations?
Does theory of mind depend on a capacity to reason about representations generally or on mechanisms selective for the processing of mental state representations? In four experiments, participants reasoned about beliefs (mental representations) and notes (non-mental, linguistic representations), which according to two prominent theories are closely matched representations because both are repres...
