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 ...

Literature Review

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper. Perhaps the most important one was the high number of pedestrians that were killed every year in train impacts. Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

Introduction

The process of managing individuals whether in business or sport is an intricate task and demands a compassionate appreciation of the multilateral roles needed (Crust and Lawrence, 2006). The position of manager in sports represents a tempestuous as well as a stressful occupation where persons are publicly held answerable for the performance of the team. Some football managers have been heavily criticized for not spending enough in buying top players to help their teams win trophies. For instance, as Kulper (2013) reports, Arsenal fans complain that the team manager refuses to purchase the costly players who can compete with ...

However, certain areas lag, occasioning serious inefficiencies to the system. Often, the legal framework is a serious undoing and affects the realization of these standards. Besides, diverse standards contain varying recommendations, and this tends to atrophy the efforts therewith. Perhaps a biggest of all ...

Money and prices in the long run and open economies dictate the financial market. As such, that is why factors such as domestic variables and foreign monetary policies are over-emphasized.

News that the man who was supposed to recover the company Chiptole was arrested on the charges of drug possession does not surprise me to a certain level.

According to the article (2016), “Chipotle saw sales at established locations drop 30 percent in the first quarter of the year“ (Choi). The executive had to regain the trust of the customers and even though that was his ...

Language discrimination bill

The California Congress submitted the California Bill 111 and vetoed by the California Governor Edmund Brown in 2011. One of the causes of the bill was the Only-English rule that the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) introduced in 2008 to unify the criteria in the used language for the championship, press conferences, and events. That situation generated criticism in the community, news media, and several international players. The California Congress took the message and created a bill to enforce the California businesses to avoid discrimination by the language use affecting the execution of the LPGA tour in the California ...

When many people encounter a traumatic experience, they will feel sad, frightened, disconnected, or possibly anxious. These feelings are quite normal within the span of human emotions. For many people, these feelings will be short lived ...

Once, mankind believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the entire universe as well. Though tempting as it seems, this narcissistic view was perceived due to the observable motions of the visible heavenly bodies in the sky. However, as mankind learns to invent more powerful tools to understand the cosmos, they learn not just the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, but also the place of the Earth in the universe. In fact, the view of our place in the universe gradually changed as science and technology cemented over ...

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) facilitated the shift of operations in travel agencies from traditional to online platforms in the same way that the Internet changed how customers can access goods and services. The Internet enables customers to gain access to online travel agencies and choose to purchase travel-related products and services online. Nevertheless, previous studies prove that online travel agencies are finding it difficult to compete with one another and the adoption of ICT as a major part of operations present other problems that set barriers for the growth of online travel agencies.

There are different ways of classifying cost for example, manufacturing costs verses Non-manufacturing costs, fixed costs versus variable cost and finally product cost versus period costs. The most important thing that managers and accountants need to know is how to treat variable costs and ...

People are naturally drawn to all things beautiful. In purchasing bags for instance, most people look for something that is appealing and trendy. These days, people have also come to include durability to what they consider beautiful, as with products and other merchandise. This explains why despite the exorbitant amount that comes with products like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Chanel, to name a few, consumers still buy branded products. The logic behind this buying trend is that if a product carries a name that has withstood the test of time and the tough market competition, the consumer gets the assurance that the ...

Endotracheal suctioning is one of the common procedures performed on patients with an artificial airway. It helps to remove secretions to prevent obstruction. Suctioning is also important in intubated patients in order to prevent the accumulation of secretions, which would then lead to colonization of the respiratory tract by pathogenic bacteria leading to the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Endotracheal suctioning can immediately reduce the dynamic compliance and expired tidal volume in patients (G Briassoulis, 2009).

A study by Choi et al in 2005 indicated that manual hyperinflation followed by suctioning induces beneficial changes in respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated ...
