UML 2 State Machine Diagrams 41 State Diagrams
State diagrams are a graphical representation of finite state machines. A finite state machine FSM or finite automaton models the behavior of a system in terms of states, transitions, and actions. An FSM is a tuple of the form where S is a finite set of all possible states, S0 is the initial state where S0 G S, S is an alphabet with all possible symbols, S Sx S S is a transition function that indicates a state change. The condition s for such a change to take place is defined by rule s , and a...
Immunization
Although limited, epidemiological studies have demonstrated that patients with diabetes are at higher risk for complications, hospitalization, and death from influenza and pneumococcal disease, and may benefit from vaccination 23 . Immunization of diabetic patients has the potential of reducing hospital admissions during influenza epidemics and the morbidity and mortality related to these diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all persons over 65 years of age,...
