Instead of being paid on volume, rewarded for filling beds and performing more tests and procedures, hospitals are becoming responsible for more of the total cost of a patient's care.
In addition, it may be possible for governments and other stakeholders to find ways to dissociate antibiotic utilization (or sales volume) from reward to innovators.
During phase 1 of observations (the first 40 foraging bouts), all five flowers delivered identical volumes of sucrose solution (reward volume = 1/5th of the crop capacity).
A university degree promised plum jobs, prosperity and glory: a volume of rewards steadily rising to match the steadily expanding ranks of degree holders.
Monkeys chose between two options, one yielding a fixed-volume juice reward ("safe" option) and the other yielding either a larger or smaller reward with 50% probability of each ("risky" option; Figure 1C).
Our aims in this study were to examine 1) activity and gray matter volume in reward-related neural circuitry in patients with bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, and healthy comparison subjects and 2) the extent to which reward-circuitry activity during reward processing was associated with reward sensitivity across all participants.
During phase 2 of observations (the last 40 foraging bouts), one flower delivered six times as much sucrose solution as the other four flowers (reward volume of the most rewarding flower = 3/5th of the crop capacity; reward volume of the four other flowers = 1/10th of the crop capacity).
The form's inherent limitations — the hundred-and-forty-character limit and a fleeting shelflife — reward volume, frequency, and fervor rather than nuance, complexity, and persuasion.
But what I do find boring is arguing about who might be winning this early: Each console has proven that they will drive more than a billion dollars in first month revenue, that they have strong ship volume, and will reward early development activity for their platform.
We assumed that bumblebees collected the full reward volume on every visit.
Participants were informed that more points would grant them a higher volume of that reward at the end of the experiment.
