This study focused on persons 65 years of age and over who were dually entitled to Medicare and Medicaid in 1978. The paper examines their age, sex, and race characteristics, and their Medicare utilization and mortality rates in comparison to persons eligible for Medicare only. The study showed that the group entitled to both Medicare and Medicaid was relatively much older than those with Medic...

In this paper we define the notion of weak Arens regular Banach algebras and extend the concept of quasi-multipliers to this certain class of Banach algebras. Among other the relationship between Arens regularity of the algebra A∗∗ of a weak Arens regular Banach algebra A and the space QMr(A∗) of all bilinear and separately continuous right quasimultipliers of A∗ is investigated. Further, we st...

We show that the neighbourhood of a regular language L with respect to an additive quasi-distance can be recognized by an additive weighted finite automaton (WFA). The size of the WFA is the same as the size of an NFA (nondeterministic finite automaton) for L and the construction gives an upper bound for the state complexity of a neighbourhood of a regular language with respect to a quasi-dista...

Many works related to dually chordal graphs, their cliques and neighborhoods were published. We will undertake a similar study but by considering minimal separators and their properties. Moreover we find new characterizations of dually chordal graphs.

In this paper we have introduced fuzzy quasi-ideal and fuzzy left(right, two-sided) ideals in LA-semigroup. We have proved some results related to fuzzy quasi-ideals and fuzzy left(right, two-sided) ideals of an LA-semigroup. Further we characterize an intra-regular LA-semigroup by the properties of their fuzzy ideals.

Our aim in this paper is to introduce and study a new sort of fuzzy ternary subsemigroup (left ideal, right ideal, lateral ideal, quasi-ideal, bi-ideal) of a ternary semigroup, called interval-valued (α,β )-fuzzy ternary subsemigroup (left ideal, right ideal, lateral ideal, quasi-ideal, bi-ideal). We also characterize regular ternary semigroups in terms of these interval-valued fuzzy ideals.

Two residential programs for dually diagnosed (severely mentally ill and substance abusing) homeless individuals in Philadelphia were compared in a quasi-experimental field study. Findings indicate that the experimental model, a hybrid psychosocial and drug rehabilitation program, did significantly better in maintaining clients in care and in successful rehabilitation than the comparison model,...

If a group acts by uniformly quasi-Möbius homeomorphisms on a compact Ahlfors n-regular space of topological dimension n such that the induced action on the space of distinct triples is cocompact, then the action is quasi-symmetrically conjugate to an action on the standard n-sphere by Möbius transformations.

We investigate questions in quantum information geometry which concern the existence and non-existence of dual and dually flat structures on stratified sets of density operators on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We show that the set of density operators of a given rank admits dually flat connections for which one connection is complete if and only if this rank is maximal. We prove moreover ...
