The present study aimed to examine the determinants of using alternative treatment plans in different types of problems by different educated professionals to facilitate in formulating the appropriate marketing strategies of the most important emergency product- Medicare service providers. This paper attempted to find out the attitudes and behavior of educated professionals in adopting differen...

A framework is proposed that develops the dimensions of vertical integration strated and proposes key factors that might augment their uses within various scenarios. These represent new hypotheses and conjectures about make-or-buy decisions that require empirical testing. If the framework is valid, strategists could formulate better hybrid vertical integration strategies by recogniang the hypot...

In clinical trials with significant noncompliance the standard intention-to-treat analyses sometimes mislead. Rubin’s causal model provides an alternative method of analysis that can shed extra light on clinical trial data. Formulating the Rubin Causal Model as a graphical model facilitates model communication and computation.

We consider so-called “squaring the square”-puzzles where a given square (or rectangle) should be dissected into smaller squares. For a specific instance of such problems we demonstrate that a mathematically rigorous solution can be quite involved. As an alternative to exhaustive enumeration using tailored algorithms we describe the general approach of formulating the problem as an integer line...

the objectives of this study were: describing the importance of designing a desirable mechanism for faculty members, teaching quality evaluation by students, an estimation of effectiveness of selected variables (gender, year of student admiltance, type of admission, and field of study) on students’ view during ranking of 34 indexes of current evaluation forms at universities and also identifyin...

Two component, waterbased epoxy coatings can be classified by the type of epoxy resin employed. Low molecular weight, liquid epoxy systems are commonly referred to as Type I, whereas systems based on higher molecular weight, solid epoxy dispersions are referred to as Type II. This paper will focus on coatings based on both types of resins. In the first case, novel curing agent technology for us...

Veterinarians can serve some of their more progressive commercial cow-calf clients by introducing them to the option of becoming an embryo transfer (ET) contract recipient herd. Contract recipient herds receive embryos from owners of purebred herds, have those embryos transferred to their synchronous recipient cows, calve and raise those ET calves to weaning when they are sold back to the embry...
