Essays on Coding

Introduction

Exom sequencing is also known as whole exom sequencing (WES). This sequencing technique is used to sequence all the expressed genes in a genome also called as exom. It is one of the most widely used targeted sequencing methods. The exom which is the protein coding region of the human genome consists of less than 2% of the genetic code. This region is responsible for containing more than 85% of known disease-related variants. Thus, whole exom sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS). This technique is efficient in identifying coding variants across a wide range of ...

The software companies need to apply Lifecycle Management Tools because it offers more advantages than the Software Development Life Cycle. The Software Development Life Cycle includes the software development phases, but the Lifecycle Management Tools includes the process after the development of the software.

Requirements: The tool defines at the beginning of the process what are the requirements of the software. Requirements are the first and most important step of the process when the company or organization defines the objectives and scope of the software. The requirements define the resources and the estimated time to deliver the beta and ...

Grant-Kels, Kim, & Graff (2016) in their article discuss and analyze a case scenario of a patient Dr. TH who is concerned that over the course of time she has been visiting large multispecialty health care facility in order to manage her hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, the internist has always coded 99214 for all visits to each of the two physicians involved. Apparently, Dr. TH has worked in the medical sector and is familiar with the coding techniques and she therefore makes a decision to inquire from the practice manager of this facility who happens to have worked with Dr. TH ...

I. Challenges Given current case, one best planning strategy to adopt is a combination of Team Involvement and Reciprocity (Dunn, 2015). As not all coders agree on proposed change, persuading remaining coder could be "bought in" by seeking support of another manager, probably in Human Resources Department (HRM). This selection is based on a performance-compensation basis. More specifically, a change from ICD-9 to ICD-10 should be "sold" to non-boarding coder based on a better performance due to more enhanced capabilities of ICD-10 compared to ICD-9 and hence more workflow efficiencies and, ultimately, more customer satisfaction and better compensation prospects. ...

Abstract

The topic of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) among adolescents is well documented, and so is the peer conformity in relation to teenagers’ decision making process. However, there are solely secondary references to how peer conformity influence decision making process among adolescence diagnosed with BDD, which is why, the aim of the proposed research is to investigate this relationship. The hypothesis suggest that adolescence diagnosed with BDD take extreme approaches in relationship to peer conformity, which further influence their decision making process. The methods section describes the research methodology, the focus group, the descriptive research design, also presenting information about ...

Abstractions, especially pertaining computer and software engineering, refers to the obscured elements of transcending blocks, which make up a computer, or software systems. Different scholars have different approaches to the definition and application of the term abstraction. Abstraction is meant to shield certain characters, which are deemed irrelevant to a certain process (Davis 131). In this regard, the main essence or processes use the elements which have been deemed relevant, for the accomplishment of a certain task. For instance, for a computer system, different platforms provide programmers with the incentives to develop new software and designs, which are meant ...

Difference between Positivism and Interpretivism

Positivisms refers to the philosophical means of gauging the validity of information right from its observed evidence. Under this system, the aspects of knowledge got from non-scientific means, for instance the metaphysic evidence would be regarded as invalid. Thus, positivism aims at understanding a social establishment through observing known facts. On the other hand, interpretivism focuses on understanding through experience. Thus, this includes understanding the meaning of an action or actions in a social context through things like paying attention on a unique point of view. In this respect, interpretivists disagree with positivists that human behaviors can be explained ...

Depression among Young Individuals: Qualitative Data Analysis

Research Aim The current research aims at exploring the outcomes of depression among individuals. While this condition is well-known for a broad range of specialists and the public, it is very often misunderstood, misinterpreted, and individuals suffering from depression may be neglected due to the dissemination of this problem. At the same time, it is a well-known fact that the outcomes of depression can be severe. Numerous studies reported that depression may lead to minor issues, like low mood and irritability; yet, the untreated condition can cause sleep deprivation, heart attacks, social anxiety, and even suicide (Chase et al., ...

Drugs can have many differing affects on people, whether their consumption leads to a positive or adverse response. All of this depends on the levels of enzymes in the body and how the variations of expression lead to these possible outcomes. The major theme of the two sources on this topic relate to the specific enzyme, CYP3A. CYP3A is a subfamily of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which serve to catalyze the addition of oxygen into molecules. Their ultimate role serves two spectrums: to convert foreign substances into less toxic products that can be eliminated from the body, or to convert ...

The rediscovery of Mendel's works on heredity in 1900 became the foundation to investigate more on genetics. However, the acceleration of the study of genetics was slow, taking more than half a century later for Watson and Crick to crack the chemical basis of heredity. In fact, their proposal, the double helical structure of DNA, became the beginning of modern biology. Over the next 30 years, the advent of recombinant DNA technology allowed us to sequence specific DNA segments (Collins & McKusick, 2001). Note that mapping specific regions of a particular DNA offers explanations to many traits, including behaviors, disorders, ...

Introduction

Architecture as a discipline has evolved over time, with architects from different periods adopting unique approaches to architecture. In the 1950’s, the architectural world saw the introduction of the theory of the postmodern architecture . This came hot on the heels of the famous modernist approach to architecture, which had the support of various classical scholars and architects. The primary argument in this paper is the fact that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This is built on the realization that architecture is a dynamic ...

An electronic health record (EHR) is termed as a patient’s medical or paper chart in a digital and secure format.

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Discuss why the characteristics of victims are so important to crime analysis

Although victim characteristics is only one of many aspects considered in theoretical victimology, which studies the victim factors in the crime (Fattah, 2000), these characteristics has been found influential in the planning and eventual commission of the crime. Since the history of this field of study, there was a running belief that the victim may have a contribution in the genesis of the crime. As early as 1940, despite many crimes wherein the victim has little or no direct or indirect contribution in the occurrence of the crime, many observers noted that there was real interaction and mutual contribution ...

The use of electronic patient record systems and their associated information applications has received considerable political support over the past decade. For example, in the United States, health care informatics was a primary component in the presidential campaigns of both Senators Barrack Obama and John McCain (Hoffman and Podgurski, 2008). Accordingly, after Obama was elected to the seat, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed in 2009. This law is traditionally referred to as the “Stimulus Bill”. In the following year after it was implemented, the Unite States government invested $148 billion in the health care of which ...

Article Review on Polytene Chromosomes and Structural Abnormalities

Background The interphase stage during cell division condenses the genetic material i.e. DNA into chromosomes and in salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster, polytene chromosomes appear characteristically that are a result of repeated replication cycles but no disjunction. They have dark bands alternating with light interbands. The hypothesis tested in the research work performed by Zhimulev et al in 2014 was that the interbands incorporates transcripton initiation sites i.e. promoter binding areas that extend to coding areas in band regions. Using the modENCODE protein profiling data, DamID genome mapping has earlier classified various chromatin states. The current study performed cytological ...

Mathematics, as a discipline, is one of the fundamentals of computers. It is one among the vital elements applied in computer science and its studies.
