Fee splitting is the practice of sharing fees with professional colleagues, such as physicians or lawyers, in return for being sent referrals http www.answers.com topic fee splitting . Fee splitting in medicine and healthcare This is essentially the payment of a commission to the referrer with the express intention of ensuring that the referring doctor directs referrals of patients to the payee. In most parts of the world, the practice is considered unethical and unacceptable, hence fee splitting is often covert. The reason it is believed not to be in the interests of patients is because it represents a conflict of interest which may adversely affect patient care and well being, since patients will not necessarily be referred to the most appropriate doctor to provide their on going care but will instead be referred to those doctors or hospitals with whom the referring doctor has a fee splitting or commission payment type of arrangement.

In mathematics , binary splitting is a technique for speeding up numerical evaluation of many types of series mathematics series with rational terms. In particular, it can be used to evaluate hypergeometric series at rational points. Given a series math S a,b sum n a b frac p n q n math where p sub n sub and q sub n sub are integers, the goal of binary splitting is to compute integers P a , b and Q a , b such that math S a,b frac P a,b Q a,b . math The splitting consists of setting m a b 2 and recursively computing P a , b and Q a , b from P a , m , P m , b , Q a , m , and Q m , b . When a and b are sufficiently close, P a , b and Q a , b can be computed directly from p sub a sub ...p sub b sub and q sub a sub ...q sub b sub . Binary splitting requires more memory than direct term by term summation, but is asymptotically faster since the sizes of all occurring subproducts are reduced. Additionally, whereas the most naive evaluation scheme for a rational series uses a full precision division for each term in the series, binary splitting requires only one final division at the target precision this is not only faster, but conveniently eliminates rounding errors. To take full advantage of the scheme, fast multiplication algorithms such as Toom Cook multiplication Toom Cook and Sch nhage Strassen algorithm Sch nhage Strassen must be used with ordinary O n sup 2 sup multiplication, binary splitting may render no speedup at all or be slower. Since all subdivisions of the series can be computed independently of each other, binary splitting lends well to parallelization and checkpointing . In a less specific sense, binary splitting may also refer to any divide and conquer algorithm that always divides the problem in two halves.

In the late 1990s tongue splitting was almost unheard of, but is now considered a common alteration among body modification enthusiasts. Process There are several methods used to split tongues cutting with a scalpel, cauterizing and tying off. It is performed by oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, body modification practitioners or done by the person themself, but only the oral and plastic surgeons are licensed. Before splitting with any method, some choose to have a well healed tongue piercing where the back end of the split is intended to be. This ideally prevents the tongue from healing forward from the back of the cut, which would result in a split that is not as deep as desired.

In mathematics , the splitting principle is a technique used to reduce questions about vector bundle s to the case of line bundle s. In the theory of vector bundles, one often wishes to simplify computations, say of Chern classes . Often computations are well understood for line bundles and for direct sums of line bundles. In this case the splitting principle can be quite useful. Theorem Splitting Principle Let math xi colon E rightarrow X math be a vector bundle of rank math n math over a manifold math X math . There exists a space math Y Fl E math , called the flag bundle associated to math E math , and a map math p colon Y rightarrow X math such that the induced cohomology homomorphism math p colon H X rightarrow H Y math is injective, and the pullback bundle math p xi colon p E rightarrow Y math breaks up as a direct sum of line bundles math p E L 1 oplus L 2 oplus cdots oplus L n. math The line bundles math L i math or their first characteristic class are called Chern roots. The fact that math p colon H X rightarrow H Y math is injective means that any equation which holds in math H Y math say between various Chern classes also holds in math H X math . The point is that these equations are easier to understand for direct sums of line bundles than for arbitrary vector bundles, so equations should be understood in math Y math and then pushed down to math X math . Symmetric polynomial Under the splitting principle, characteristic classes correspond to symmetric polynomials and for the Euler class , alternating polynomials in the class of line bundles. The Chern class es and Pontryagin class es correspond to symmetric polynomials they are symmetric polynomials in the corresponding classes of line bundles math p k math is the k th symmetric polynomial in the math p 1 math of the line bundles, and so forth . The Euler class is an invariant of an oriented vector bundle, and thus the line bundles are ordered up to sign the corresponding polynomial is the Vandermonde polynomial ... more details

Loop splitting is a compiler optimization technique. It attempts to simplify a Control flow Loops loop or eliminate dependencies by breaking it into multiple loops which have the same bodies but iterate over different contiguous portions of the index range. Loop peeling Loop peeling is a special case of loop splitting which splits any problematic first or last few iterations from the loop and performs them outside of the loop body. Suppose a loop was written like this int p 10 for int i 0 i 10 i y i x i x p p i Notice that code p 10 code only for the first iteration, and for all other iterations, code p i 1 code . A compiler can take advantage of this by loop unwinding unwinding or peeling the first iteration from the loop. After peeling the first iteration, the code would look like this y 0 x 0 x 10 for int i 1 i 10 i y i x i x i 1 This equivalent form eliminates the need for the variable code p code inside the loop body. Loop peeling was introduced in GNU Compiler Collection gcc in version 3.4. Brief history of the term Apparently the term was for the first time used by Cannings, Thompson and Skolnick ref name Cannings1976 Cite journal author Cannings, C. author2 Thompson, EA author3 Skolnick, HH title The recursive derivation of likelihoods on complex pedigrees journal Advances in Applied Probability volume 8 number 4 pages 622 625 year 1976 ref in their 1976 paper on computational models for human inheritance. There the term was used to denote a method for collapsing phenotypic information onto parents. From there the term was used again in their papers, including their seminal paper on probability functions on complex pedigrees. ref name Cannings1978 Cite journal author Cannings, C. author2 Thompson, EA author3 Skolnick, HH title Probability functions on complex pedigrees journal Advances in Applied Probability volume 10 number 1 pages 26 61 year 1978 ref In compiler ...
