Genomic insights into the critically endangered King Island scrubtit.

Small, fragmented, or isolated populations are at risk of population decline due to fitness costs associated with inbreeding and genetic drift. The King Island scrubtit Acanthornis magna greeniana is a critically endangered subspecies of the nominate Tasmanian scrubtit A. m.

Improving outpatient charge capture.

Hospitals can identify opportunities to enhance revenue collection by closely analyzing outpatient charge-capture data. A hospital can bolster its charge-capture analysis by performing a charge-capture process walk-through and scrutinizing subsystem links, third-party payer contracts, and electronic health record structures. The hospital then can integrate charge-integrity functions into clinical departments as needed by developing charge-reconciliation tools and reports and monitoring their utilization, and incorporating charge-reconciliation responsibilities into clinical department managers' job descriptions and goals.

Olefinic peptide nucleic acid (OPA).

The olefinic peptide nucleic acid analogues (OPA) monomers containing the bases thymine and adenine were synthesised in 11 steps. Fully modified oligomers containing these units were prepared and their pairing properties assessed by means of UV-melting experiments.

Fluorinated peptide nucleic acid.

The fluorinated olefinic peptide nucleic acid analogue (F-OPA) monomer containing the base thymine was synthesised in 13 steps. PNAs containing this unit were prepared and their pairing properties assessed by means of UV-melting experiments.
