Variations and trends in state nursing facility capacity: 1978-93.
The demand for nursing facility (NF) beds has been growing with the aging of the population and many other factors. As the need for nursing home care grows, the Nation's capacity to provide such care is the subject of increasing concern. This article examines licensed NFs and beds, presenting data on trends from 1978-93. Measures of the adequacy of NF beds in States are examined over time, including the ratio of beds per aged population, occupancy rates, and State official's opinions of the adequacy of supply. State and regional variations are shown over time, and we speculate on the factors which may be associated with the variation
The Distribution of Rents in Supply Chain Industries: The Case of High Oil Corn
Value-enhanced crops (VEC's) have been the focus of "second-generation" genetically modified (GM) crops. The market power granted by intellectual property rights (IPR) and the use of contractual arrangements in VEC gene and seed production have fostered a move toward tightly-aligned supply chain industries. This paper suggests and tests an analytical methodology for examining a number of issues in tightly-aligned supply chain industries: (1) the distributions of potential monopolistic and monopsonistic rents, (2) choices of licensing intellectual property versus in-house seed production and distribution (3) implications of alternative marketing strategies and elasticities of demand on the magnitudes of rents, and (4) determining impacts on different stages within the supply chain and on substitute commodities. The high-oil corn industry is used as a case study.equilibrium displacement, high-oil corn, mathematical programming, value-enhanced crops, Crop Production/Industries, Industrial Organization,
Legal Relationships of Trees and Shrubs in Iowa
The purpose of this paper is to review in a general way the laws that exist in this state affecting woody plants and to give some suggestions of how these laws work out in certain definite cases. A word of explanation seems in order as to why one with no particular legal training should attempt a subject of this kind
Magnetogasdynamic Flow Acceleration in a Scramjet Nozzle
The effect of magnetogasdynamic (MGD) interactions on flow acceleration and thrust in a scramjet accelerator/nozzle are examined numerically at a free-stream flight condition of Mach 8. The parameters of conductivity pattern and load factor are varied in both inviscid and viscous flow regimes with the intent of increasing axial force exerted on the flow through a scramjet accelerator. The numerical code solves the Navier-Stokes equations with additional source terms for the MGD forces and energy interactions. An accelerating Lorentz force is applied to the flow resulting from a constant magnetic field and an electric field produced by two continuous side wall electrodes. The specific thrust across the accelerator/nozzle is improved in the MGD solutions over the non-MGD solutions when the load factor is increased and an electron beam type ionization pattern is used. The largest increase in specific thrust is observed in viscous and inviscid flow regimes with a load factor of 1.8 producing 226% and 154% thrust increases, respectively. Flows showing increases in specific thrust with higher load factors also show significant increases in temperature due to the energy interaction term
