Cloud Computing's Usage in Healthcare
Rita Komalasari (Yarsi University, Indonesia)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-6684-6434-2.ch009
Abstract
Cloud computing is a rapidly growing information technology paradigm that has an influence on a wide range of industries and governments. For many years, experts have argued that the healthcare business should shift to cloud computing, pointing out its many benefits and possibilities for e-health. Cloud computing provides IT services at any time, from any location, on any device, and is useful to healthcare organizations, potentially saving money. This chapter looks into cloud computing as a means of addressing some of the issues that healthcare organizations face. Both academics and the general public will benefit significantly from this chapter—for example, a health professional dealing with information and communications technology.

Use of Nanoparticles to Combat COVID-19
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences.

Building Gene Networks by Analyzing Gene Expression Profiles
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic information necessary to the biosynthesis of RNA and protein molecules essential for the development and proper functioning of most living organisms. The order in the sequential arrangement of the nucleotides A, T, C, G represents the genetic information, which is translated with the genetic code in the corresponding amino acids.

Crow-ENN: An Optimized Elman Neural Network with Crow Search Algorithm for Leukemia DNA Sequence Classification
DNA stands for “Deoxyribonucleic Acid” is a carrier molecule of genetic information. It can be found in the nucleus of any cell. DNA contains all the information which are necessary for the duplication of life. The DNA structure is like a double helix comprising of two long strands. Each strand is made up of four types of nucleotides: Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), and Thymine (T).
