This paper summarises the findings of coding audits in seven hospitals and one re-audit conducted by the Health Department of Western Australia. The accuracy of the coding in the first audits, as measured by differences in AN-DRG assignment, varied from 83% to 93%. The accuracy of the coding in the re-audited hospital increased by 6% to 94.5%. The major coding problems related to incorrect abst...

The recruitment and the rate of discharge of motor units are determinants of muscle force. Within a motoneuron pool, recruitment and rate coding of individual motor units might be controlled independently, depending on the circumstances. In this study, we tested whether, during human quiet standing, the force of the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle is predominantly controlled by recruitment or ...

Objective: Drying is one of the most important post-harvesting processes in agriculture. Drying method and also drying time have an important effect on the amount of energy required. In this study analysis of energy consumption for drying corn in dryer reservoir with flow of warm air and the effect of the temperature and height of product layer on the amount of energy consumption per unit mass ...

The region of interest (ROI) encryption in the video can reduce complexity calculation and improve speed by encrypting only area containing critical visual information. Above all, ROI expand utilization domain (e.g., surveillance), unlike general methods that de-identify entire frame. However, traditional process high-efficiency coding (HEVC)/H.265 is more complex than advanced coding/H.264, en...
