Abstract 12678: Marketplace Plan Designs for Cardiometabolic Therapies in Rural and Urban Counties in the US

Introduction: In the US, important variation exists in cardiovascular risk factor burden and rates of death across rural and urban counties. Affordability and non-financial mechanisms can present as barriers to treatment, yet little is known about if there may be systematic variation in plan design by rural and urban settings. We assessed whether rural or urban county type is associated with insurance plan design for sacubitril/valsartan, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin. Methods: We evaluated the median premium silver-level plan from 26 selected states with federally-facilitated marketplaces based on the Bureau of Economic Analysis Regions. We then examined features such as coverage, tier, copay or coinsurance, expected out-of-pocket costs for 30 day supply, and coverage contingent non-financial elements including prior authorization, step therapy, and quantity limits. Logistic regression models, stratified by medication and state, assessed if rural/urban county type was a predictor of cost-sharing mechanism, coverage contingent elements, or out-of-pocket costs. Results: The mean population of urban and rural counties was 1.2M (±1.3M) and 19,364 (± 40,006), respectively. Urban counties had a higher proportion of Black/Hispanic individuals (31% vs. 16%) and higher median household incomes ($65,835 ± $17,452 vs. $47,212 ± $10,549); all P < 0.01. Over 90% of plans covered each of the three medications, irrespective of rural/urban county type. Across each of the three medications and states, plans in urban counties had higher odds of including prior authorization (OR: 10.59; 95% CI: 2.55-43.96; P = 0.001) and use of coinsurance (OR: 9.06; 95% CI: 2.55-32.20; P = 0.001) compared with plans in rural counties. For each drug, predicted out-of-pocket costs differed as much as $250 between rural and urban counties for a given state. Conclusion: Most plans cover these newer cardiometabolic therapies across sampled US counties, but there was substantial variation in plan architecture across counties with greater utilization of prior authorization and coinsurance as a cost-sharing mechanism in urban counties. Given a greater population density, these mechanisms may guard against moral hazard and overutilization in urban settings.

LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE POTENTIAL APPROACHES IN THE DESIGN OF A MASTER PLAN ARCHITECTURE: CASE STUDY OF PAKSEBALI TOURISM VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT, INDONESIA

This research aimed to plan the design of the master plan through a local potential and sustainable approach in creating a master plan architecture Paksebali tourism village. The research methods used are Research and Development (R&D) method in qualitative research. The first step was carried out with a study of the Paksebali Tourism Village to find the right approach's characteristics and then develop it in the form of an architectural design of a tourist village master plan. This study's results indicate that the master plan for Paksebali Tourism Village is based on developing supporting facilities for local potentials by maintaining these potentials' sustainability, which is implemented in master plan designs both macro and micro. This sustainability is fundamental as the consistency of this potential is conservative, maintains local characteristics, and becomes a welfare source for local communities. The Paksebali Tourism Village master plan's architectural design transformation requires these considerations (local potential and sustainability).

Research Strategy: A Constructive Play for Anatomy Learning System Based on Human Finger Gestures on Holographic Display

Human anatomy is a biology field that studies human body which consists of intricate and complex piece of engineering in which every assembly has an important role. This subject is considered to be very complex and thus need an advanced technology to help users learning this course more effectively. In this study, we propose and report our research strategy and progress to build a constructive play on human anatomy system based on finger motion gesture of Leap Motion controller (LMC). This LMC device can detect hand gestures and fingers’ motion and translate it into interaction input. Then, we utilize holographic display to portray our 3D human anatomy as its output. In detail, the research strategy of this paper consists of research plan, general framework and general architecture of the developed system. Then, we also present our current development of constructive anatomy learning system. In this future, we will discuss in more detail about the development stage.

Spatial Organization of Five-Fold Morphology as a Source of Geometrical Constraint in Biology.

A basic pattern in the body plan architecture of many animals, plants and some molecular and cellular systems is five-part units. This pattern has been understood as a result of genetic blueprints in development and as a widely conserved evolutionary character. Despite some efforts, a definitive explanation of the abundance of pentagonal symmetry at so many levels of complexity is still missing. Based on both, a computational platform and a statistical spatial organization argument, we show that five-fold morphology is substantially different from other abundant symmetries like three-fold, four-fold and six-fold symmetries in terms of spatial interacting elements. We develop a measuring system to determine levels of spatial organization in 2D polygons (homogeneous or heterogeneous partition of defined areas) based on principles of regularity in a morphospace. We found that spatial organization of five-fold symmetry is statistically higher than all other symmetries studied here (3 to 10-fold symmetries) in terms of spatial homogeneity. The significance of our findings is based on the statistical constancy of geometrical constraints derived from spatial organization of shapes, beyond the material or complexity level of the many different systems where pentagonal symmetry occurs.

Forms and techniques: Le Corbusier, the spiral plan and diagram architecture

While Le Corbusier's spiral plan projects have long been debated for their symbolic and rhetorical meaning - dealing with initiation, procession, ritual, generative nature, unlimited growth and so on - little attention is paid to their actual production as designs. If we look for the emergence of the spiral plan as a production of Le Corbusier's studio then we might begin with a sketch design for the Villa La Roche made in 1923 and not with the project for the Mundaneum (1928) generally credited as the point at which the architect 'invents' the spiral type [1]. Taking the Villa La Roche spiral experiment as a tentative beginning marks a much longer history of the spiral plan type in Le Corbusier's work that links the architect's early domestic projects to later major public building proposals such as the Venice Hospital (1964).

Foundational model of structural connectivity in the nervous system with a schema for wiring diagrams, connectome, and basic plan architecture.

The nervous system is a biological computer integrating the body's reflex and voluntary environmental interactions (behavior) with a relatively constant internal state (homeostasis)-- promoting survival of the individual and species. The wiring diagram of the nervous system's structural connectivity provides an obligatory foundational model for understanding functional localization at molecular, cellular, systems, and behavioral organization levels. This paper provides a high-level, downwardly extendible, conceptual framework--like a compass and map--for describing and exploring in neuroinformatics systems (such as our Brain Architecture Knowledge Management System) the structural architecture of the nervous system's basic wiring diagram. For this, the Foundational Model of Connectivity's universe of discourse is the structural architecture of nervous system connectivity in all animals at all resolutions, and the model includes two key elements--a set of basic principles and an internally consistent set of concepts (defined vocabulary of standard terms)--arranged in an explicitly defined schema (set of relationships between concepts) allowing automatic inferences. In addition, rules and procedures for creating and modifying the foundational model are considered. Controlled vocabularies with broad community support typically are managed by standing committees of experts that create and refine boundary conditions, and a set of rules that are available on the Web.

65 nm CMOS SSB mixer for UWB synthesiser

The present work addresses the design of a 65 nm CMOS wide-band single-sideband mixer for UWB synthesiser. The circuit has been designed inductorless and with few capacitors, in order to save silicon area and, at the same time, to get a mixer independent of the adopted frequency plan and synthesiser architecture. Particular attention has been paid to reducing the spurs as much as possible. In order to address a realistic investigation, the design has accounted also for the corner cases and the possible impairments in the input signals. A comparison with the state-of-the-art of the SSB mixers shows the low power consumption of the present work.

Context optimization of AI planning for semantic Web services composition

Web services composition techniques are gaining momentum as the opportunity to establish reusable and versatile inter-operability applications. Many researchers propose their composition approach based on planning techniques. We propose our context aware planning method which comprises global planning and local optimization based on context information. The major technical contributions of this paper are: (1) We propose an ontology-based framework for the context-aware composition of Web services. Context model, which are structured based on OWL-S, captures the Service-related, Environment-related, and User-related context and can be used in an unambiguous, machine interpretable form. (2) We propose context-aware plan architecture and thus is more scalability and flexibility for the planning process, and thereby improving the efficiency and precision. (3) We propose a hybrid approach to build a plan corresponding to a context-aware service composition, based on global planning and local optimization, considering both the usability and adoption. We test our approach on a simple, yet realistic example, and the preliminary results demonstrate that our implementation provides a practical solution.

An 18-Mb, 12.3-GB/s CMOS pipeline-burst cache SRAM with 1.54 Gb/s/pin

This 18 Mb pipeline-burst cache SRAM has 12.3 GB/s data transfer rate. The 14.3/spl times/14.6 mm/sup 2/ chip uses a 5.6 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ (2.22/spl times/2.52) 6-transistor cell and is fabricated on 0.18 /spl mu/m 6-metal-layer, 1.3-1.5 V CMOS. The paper shows the chip floor plan and array architecture. The chip is divided into four quadrants, each composed of 19 global subarrays, including one for redundancy. A data transfer rate of 1.54 Gb/s/pin on each I/O is achieved with a 770 MHz 50% duty cycle clock at 1.5 V, 25/spl deg/C. Data transition is on both clock edges using dual-edge-triggered flip-flops. With an 8 B I/O port (64-data and 8-parity pins), the chip has an aggregate bandwidth of 12.3 GB/s. A cycle on this SRAM actually refers to one half period (or a phase) of the clock.
