Introduction: Price transparency is a central component of the shift from volume to value in healthcare delivery.Price transparency in primary care, the most common point of contact with the healthcare system for patients in the U.S., has not been widely studied.Methods: Using an audit study across 10 states in 2016, we examined the characteristics

Conventional splines offer powerful means for modeling surfaces and volumes in three-dimensional Euclidean space.A one-dimensional quaternion spline has been applied for animation purpose, where the splines are defined to model a one-dimensional submanifold in the three-dimensional Lie group.Given two surfaces, all of the diffeomorphisms between th

In the frame of the modelling simulation of odour nuisances, the estimation of concentration peaks, representing values averaged over a relatively short time of the order of the interval between subsequent breathes, is of fundamental importance.Dispersion models currently used in this field cannot reconstruct this kind of values at relatively high

The identification and separation of sound sources has always been a difficult problem for acoustic technicians to tackle.This is due to the considerable complexity of 5326058hx a sound that is made up of many contributions at different frequencies.Each sound has a specific frequency spectrum, but when many sounds overlap it becomes difficult to di
