One point I found interesting in the chapters is the use of scales to present information numerically. Scales, as illustrated in the chapter are a form or a criterion through which numerical information is presented to facilitate its interpretation either in analysis, or in the presentation of the research findings. It is important to use scales in the presentation of this data owing to a variety of reasons. The choice of scales used in the presentation of this information also differs primarily due to the amount and nature of information the researchers use. One scale may be more representative of a certain population ...

Floating point is a numerical-interpretation system in which strings of digits or bits represent real numbers. A system of arithmetic is defined to permit these representations to be manipulated with resultant being similar to the arithmetic operations done over real numbers. The representation uses an explicit designation of where the radix point should be located relative to the string. In computing, fixed-point number representation is a real data type representing a number with a fixed number of digits before and after the radix. The most common way of representing floating-point numbers in computers is the IEEE 754 standards or IEEE floating point. Several ...

Introduction

Accurate and precise measurements are of uttermost importance to chemists everywhere. A measurement is said to be accurate when it is very close to the accepted value. A precise measurement is one in which repeated measures yields values or figures that are very close to one another. However, not all measuring instruments have an equal ability to give accurate and precise measurements. In any given experiment, the techniques and the equipment used to collect data should essentially be of the same precision. In the course of an experiment, there are bound to be less precise measurements and it these ...

Precision Medicine According to Christensen

Precision Medicine according to Christensen is basically a disruptive solution for healthcare, which means that provision of care for diseases whose causes are understood can precisely be diagnosed and can therefore be treated with predictably effective rules-based therapies. In this case, genomics play a major role. Collectively, Precision medicine is characterized by three fundamental features: the ability to detect casual factors, an understanding of what actually causes a disease and the ability to treat root causes of the diseases effectively (Carey 50).

Determination of the sample size is informed by knowing various factors. These factors comprise of the effect size which entails the difference that exists between two groups under consideration; for continuous data, the standard deviation of the population should be determined. Another factor is the experiment’s desired power for detection of the hypothesized effect and lastly the stated significance level determines the sample size (Dimitris & Aitken, 2009). The last two factors are generally fixed conventionally while the first two are specific to a certain experiment. The enormity of the effect to be detected by the investigator ought to be ...

Non-Parametric or T-tests

Assessment of Non-Parametric This author will provide an assessment of non-parametric analog. Non-parametric methods don’t demand the researcher to formulate distributional assumptions concerning data. Secondly, nonparametric data uses qualitative methods as opposed to quantitative methods. These are the identified and defined procedures of statistics, which are used to test the hypothesis. They, therefore, don’tneed a normal distribution since they are ranks and count-based (Plichta& Kelvin, 2013). The two non-parametric tests used in the article are the Pearson’s Chi squared test for the nominal/ordinal data and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney’s U-test for continuous variables.

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Employability and Developing the Self

In the current times, college and university graduates experience a shortcut of employment opportunities, which, according to labor market analysts is generated by both the economic condition but also by the lack of preparedness of the graduates for the available positions (Rao, 2010; Yorke, 2004). The preparedness for getting an employment, securing it and moving ahead to new employments based on deployed skills implies possessing a set of skills, attributes or personal competences, which define the employability (Perozzi, 2009; Yorke, 2004). Rao (2010) suggests that the employability reflects the graduates’ soft skills, rather than their hard skills, observing that most ...

Module 1 – SLP Mission and Vision statements defines an organization’s core values and are often used as the guiding principles in establishing organizational objectives. However, more and more companies have a discombobulated notion about the role of the mission and vision statement resulting to a creation of a rather more confusing jargon. What constitutes a good mission and vision statement according to Welch and Welch (2008) should convey a clear definition of realistic and more achievable expectations. Mission and Vision statements should possess specific elements that define the universal values of an organization.

The key elements that an explicitly constructed mission statement that demonstrates definition of an organization’s priorities are:
