This paper compares dental treatment need-estimates, from a national survey, with treatment provided within two choice-of-dentist schemes: Scheme 1, a co-payment scheme for employed adults, and Scheme 2, a 'free' service for less-well-off adults.
While limit cycles are dependent upon the choice of updating scheme, steady state attractors are uniform across dynamic schemes; their stabilization, therefore, requires comparatively less information concerning system dynamics.
Patients should be able to choose their social insurer and doctor As generally happens in other countries that have competing social insurance schemes, such as Netherlands and Germany, patients should have a free choice of which scheme to belong to.
In summary, the contribution of this work is that it investigates collaborative detection schemes between pairs of closely spaced sensor nodes and shows that the choice of which scheme to use should depend on the distance between the nodes.
We found that the choice of weighting scheme can have very large effects on the performance of the algorithm, and that regardless of the weighting scheme strict hierarchical clustering always performed substantially worse than the existing greedy algorithm.
By a careful choice of color scheme, China was able to draw the sting from any accusations of militarism, while rarely permitting the result to slide into camp.
The choice of development scheme has significant effects on China's industrial sector.
We demonstrate the effect and impact of numerical formulation and choice of numerical scheme on model predictions.
The reduction of the backup capacities turns out to be sensitive to the choice of export scheme.
It is shown that a wrong choice of interpolation scheme (weighted arithmetic mean) may lead to a transition region thickness dependent electric field in the bulk.
The choice of tax scheme design matters not only for the cost effectiveness of the policy, but can also be an important mean of reducing any political opposition towards environmental taxes.
