When a patient is admitted to the hospital, they give demographic, insurance, and medical information to the admitting office, thus begins the patient’s account. Various other departments use this information to provide services that make sure the patient services are efficient. This information, along with services that the patient receives during their stay, is documented so that charges are correct for submission to insurance, patients, or third party payers. Depending on the services the patient receives, ambulatory surgery, outpatient or inpatient, there could be a variation of the flow. Charge information is collected, charge capture, and recorded in

So why don’t protons get exchanged in clothes? When you add a proton to an atom, the overall charge goes up +1, but the atom itself changes when you add or take away a atom. So if the protons were to get moved when the clothes are in the dryer, the atoms would change on the clothes. That’s why only electrons are moved around on the clothes, because if the protons moved, the atoms on the clothes would change.

The copper atom is constructed from three kinds of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in a very small spherical volume at the exact center of the atom called the nucleus. Protons have a +1 charge, and nuetrons have no charge, so the nucleus has an overall positive charge. The electrons, which have a -1 charge, are located in a relatively large spherical volume around and centered on the nucleus.

The atom is a unit of matter, the smallest unit of an element, consisting of a dense, central, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a system of electrons, equal in number to the number of nuclear protons. It consists of a core nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Inside the atom nucleus contains a mixture of positively charged protons, and electrically neutral neutrons. All electrons bind to the nucleus through an electromagnetic force. A ground of electrons bound together form individual molecules. An atom with an equal number of protons and electrons will hold a neutral charge. An ion has either a positive or negative charge because of a lack of electrons or an electron excess. The number of protons determines the

The Lab 9 includes an electron configuration from the Lab 7. However, Lab 9 focuses much more in compounds and their electron charges. Some of the procedure includes: electron dot symbol, ionic compound formulas, names of molecular compounds, and shapes of molecules. No tools were required to perform Lab 9 except the writing utensils.

July 20th, 1969. The day man landed on the moon. At 20:18 UTC Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made their historical landing on the lunar Sea of Tranquility and made the first footsteps on our celestial neighbour. Almost eight years prior President John F. Kennedy made his proclamation to the American people, that we would land on the moon. Despite the success the task was an enormous one. To launch a fiveteen ton capsule, send it to the moon, and then land it back on Earth was very costly. Even now, half a century later, launching any chemical rocket is very costly and very inefficient. There have been a multitude of ideas that have been proposed to alleviate the cost and increase the efficiency of the rockets and one of the more promising, albeit risky, methods is the use of nuclear power.

Nucleon is a small biotechnology start-up company focused on developing biotechnological pharmaceutical products based on a class of proteins known as cell regulating factors. The company has been in the market for five years, and currently, they are in the process of human trials for their first potential product, “cell regulating protein-1” (CRP-1). Overcoming these phases, Nucleon has to decide among several alternatives on producing CRP-1. Knowing that the process involved a tremendous amount of time and money, Nucleon has to choose the right decision for their long-term survival in the intensively competitive and high-stakes drug industry.

Because of increase in regulation for nuclear reactors, the demand of substitutes for nuclear energy increase. As a result, the demand of nuclear reactors has begun to decline. An increase in demand for other green energy like solar, geothermal, and wind are now being looked at as possible alternatives. The article “Nuclear crossroad” starts off by explain its wish to elongate the life of reactors in the Diablo Canyon area. The issue of new environmental laws being passed has forced the nuclear plant to make changes to meet the new standards, in order renew operating

Here the intermediate resonance stabilizes using a carbenium ion and an oxonium ion. Therefore, this is also known as oxocarbenium ion intermediate formation which is a common phenomenon proposed for nucleotide assisted glycosyltransferase reactions.

Our human body is made out of water. Water molecules H2O contain hydrogen nuclei which is also known as protons. Protons become aligned in a magnetic field. As it has really strong magnetic field which makes proton spin.

The government of Australia is encouraging the buying of more “greener” vehicle. According to the Australian government choosing a greener car can have a direct financial benefit as well as helping to conserve the environment for all Australians and future generations. Buying a vehicle that is more fuel efficient can save thousands of dollars on fuel bills and many tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over the vehicle 's life (Greener Vehicle Guide 2010). This political incentive is directly link to Focus on introducing the new environmentally-friendly technology engine for the Falcon, a bestselling car in the territory and the country. The Australian Transport Council 's National Road Safety Strategy (NRSS) for 2001-2010 aimed to save 700 lives per year by 2010 (40%) and 3600 lives over the period. In 2001, 1736 people were killed. In 2009/10, this figure was 1424, making for an 18 percent reduction (“ANCAP Calling On Australian Political 2010). It is estimated that almost 25% of person could be save with safe cars. The government could in the future start a new more severe rating system for cars which will influence

Petron does not focus on the corporate social responsibility activities across its supply chain. They do not disclose full and clear information about their procurement policy to execute its social responsibility to conduct fair and equitable transactions throughout the supply chain as required in the Main Market Listing Requirement (MMLR). The disclosure is not transparent and complete as they do not disclose about the details such as the procedures in the matter of purchasing raw material and assets needed by the company to maintain daily operation. In addition, compliance of laws and social norms is important for ensuring the proper and ethical transaction in the supply chain, however, Petron do not disclose about the compliance of laws and social norms in their procurement activities.
