This document is accompanying the Minimum Value Calculator, which is being released in conjunction with the final rule for determining minimum value, finalized as 45 CFR 156.145. The options for calculating minimum value are outlined in the final rule, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Standards Related to Essential Health Benefits, Actuarial Value, and Accreditation, published in the...

This study combined moist airtight storage of moist grain with pig feed fermentation. Starter cultures with the potential to facilitate both technologies were added to airtight stored moist crimped cereal grain, and the impact on storage microflora and the quality of feed fermentations generated from the grain was investigated. Four treatments were compared: three based on moist barley, either ...

In this paper, we consider a multi-server queuing system in which additional servers are allowed for a longer queue to reduce the customer’s balking and reneging behavior. The customers are assumed to arrive in Poisson fashion and their service- times follow exponential distribution. The number of servers in long run depends on the queue-length. We obtain equilibrium queue size distribution. Th...

The object of the investigation is to study reducible $M$-ideals in Banach spaces. It is shown that if the number of $M$-ideals in a Banach space $X$ is $n(<infty)$, then the number of reducible $M$-ideals does not exceed of $frac{(n-2)(n-3)}{2}$. Moreover, given a compact metric space $X$, we obtain a general form of a reducible $M$-ideal in the space $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$. The...

Given a model M and a temporal logic formula φ[?], where ? is a placeholder, the query checking problem, as defined for the case of CTL by Chan in 2000, is to find the strongest propositional formula f such that M |= φ[? ← f ]. The motivation for solving this problem is, among other things, to get insight on the model. We consider various objectives to the LTL query-checking problem, and study ...
