The trends in the proportion of second-generation antipsychotic expenditures. There was an obvious drop in second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) expenditure in July 2002. We believe the implication of global budgeting (GB) in the psychiatry field at that time may explain the change. Beyond July 2002, the expenditure in psychiatry was excluded from the GB system.

Dark cells secrete a fraction, Pf, of their internal carbon levels as trehalose. However, we place an upper limit on the absolute amount of secreted trehalose at 0.12 units/Time. This limit is meant to mimic realistic export conditions. An assumption made is that due to physiological constraints on the cell, the amount of trehalose exported/present outside should not be arbitrarily large. This figure shows that most of the time, the cells are operating well below this upper limit. This demonstrates that the rate of trehalose production in the system is governed by other processes of the model pertaining to uptake, budgeting and growth by division.

Total Outpatient Visits of Children with Refractive Errors by Patient Residential District. Note: Dots represent the quarterly volume of total outpatient visits per thousand children with refractive errors in each district in natural logarithms (the scale on the left-side vertical axis), and red lines denote the point values for reimbursement under the global budgeting system with the scale on the right-side vertical axis. The vertical lines represent insurance fee changes.
