Regulation and the optimal size and type of abortion provider.

D Haas-wilson and K Lindberg

Appl Econ 31(4):409-15 (1999) PMID 12295468

This paper examines the changes in the size distribution of firms in the abortion services market between 1978 and 1992 in the US. The results indicate that for the entire 15-year period, the market shares of large abortion providers were increasing in both restrictive and nonrestrictive states. Also clinics and physician offices appear to be gaining market share relative to hospitals. These increasing market shares could be due to many factors, such as changes in the technology of providing abortions on an outpatient basis and changes in the relative prices of abortions in hospitals and abortions in non-hospital settings. Furthermore, this paper includes an analysis of the impact of state-level Medicaid funding regulations on the number, size, and type of abortion provider. These results have important implications for women's access to abortion services and for infant and maternal health.

    We presented a long slit coronagraph (LSC), for Which the presence of a slit in the coronagraphic focal plane induces a complex Distribution of energy in the Lyot pupil-plane that cannot be easily masked With a binary Lyot stop. To alleviate this concern, we propose to use a pupil Apodization to sup...

  2. Rosenbrock-Krylov Methods for Large Systems of Differential Equations
    Paul Tranquilli and Adrian Sandu

    arXiv:1305.5481 [math.NA] 23 May 2013

    This paper develops a new class of Rosenbrock-type integrators based on a Krylov space solution of the linear systems. The new family, called Rosenbrock-Krylov (Rosenbrock-K), is well suited for solving large scale systems of ODEs or semi-discrete PDEs. The time discretization and the Krylov space...

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23650366

    We calculate the optimal rotational configuration of N-fold rings on a hexagonal lattice and establish two related mechanisms for the promotion of maximum excitation energy transfer (EET). (i) For certain fold numbers, there exist optimal basis cells with rotational symmetry, extendable to the entir...
