The two principal smoking-related state legislative activities stand in sharp contrast to one another. Cigarette excise taxation diffused among the states well before the connection between smoking and illness became a ...
Critical analysis of the graphical determination of hansen's solubility parameters for lightly crosslinked polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-12-19)
The most widely accepted method for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for crosslinked polymers entails graphically estimating the center of a spherical region in 3DSP-coordinate space whose ...
The rise of human service chains: antecedents to acquisitions and their effects on the quality of care in US nursing homes
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2002-06)
This paper studies acquisitions of nursing home facilities by chains. We first test alternative ‘cream-skimming’ and ‘turn-around’ arguments concerning nursing home acquisitions. We then consider post-acquisition changes ...

Three-dimensional solubility parameters and chemical protective clothing permeation. II. Modeling diffusion coefficients, breakthrough times, and steady-state permeation rates of organic solvents in Viton® gloves
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-10-15)
Three-dimensional (3-D) solubility parameters are used in separate models of the solubility, S , and diffusion coefficient, D , of organic solvents in polymers. Modeled values of these variables are then combined in ...
Health maintenance insurance: Toward an optimal HMO
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1978-12)
The financial incentive structure of today's health maintenance organizations addresses certain problems attributed to fee-for-service medical care, but at a theoretical level it does not induce optimal provider behavior. ...
