The Oregon Health Plan (OHP), Oregon's section 1115 Medicaid waiver program, expanded eligibility to all residents living below poverty. We use survey data, as well as OHP administrative data, to profile the expansion population and to provide lessons for other States considering such programs. OHP's eligibility expansion has proved a successful vehicle for covering large numbers of uninsured a...

This work demonstrates the use of pyroelectric crystals to induce nuclear reactions. A system based on a pair of pyroelectric crystals is used to ionize gas and accelerate the ions to energies of up to 200 keV. The system operates above room temperature by simply heating or cooling the pyroelectric crystals. A D-D fusion reaction was achieved with this technique, and 2.5 MeV neutrons were detec...

This paper investigates why some U.S. colleges o er positive tuition subsidies while others do not. I develop a model in which students face uncertainty in the quality of education at a school and schools in the quality of students that attend the school. These uncertainties help explain why di erent tuition subsidies exist. An empirical investigation of 1115 U.S. colleges in 1994 shows that st...

279 National Tax Journal Vol. LX, No. 2 June 2007 Abstract Medicaid spending has become a major element in state budgets and support from federal Medicaid grants is now a main source of state government funding. We discuss recent, ongoing, and prospective reforms of intergovernmental fi nances and regulations, including the 1996 welfare reform, the introduction of Medicare Part D, Section 1115 ...

2014 The second virial coefficient A2 for a mixture of two monodisperse polymers is studied by means of the renormalization group. It is found that the cross-term A12 has a finite limit if the segment number of one of the polymers tends to infinity. Such behaviour predicts a maximum of A2 in dependence on the relative composition of the polymers. The maximum resulting from our firstorder RG-cal...

This paper proposes an efficient segmentation algorithm to extract multiple fingerprints from a four slap fingerprint image. The proposed algorithm divides each slap image into non-overlapping square blocks and identifies foreground and background blocks using average pixel intensity in that block. Blocks are joined to find the foreground block’s connected components. Finally clusters containin...

The authors examine the Medicaid Section 1115 Demonstration Project currently underway in Los Angeles County. The waiver was designed as part of a response to a financial crisis the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LACDHS) faced in 1995. It provides financial relief to give the county time to restructure its system for serving the medically indigent population. Los Angeles Coun...

Three males with Robertsonian translocations were found in a sample of 1115 males examined for military service. One was a 14/15 translocation, and two were 13/14 translocations. One was spontaneous and two familial. The segregation rate of the translocations did not deviate significantly from unity in the sibships where the mother was the carrier, whereas all five children had the translocatio...
