1. Design a source coding scheme for a memoryless source with alphabet Ax = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}so that the efficiency of the coded message is at least 95% with equally likely values and at least 85% when  
Give the input dictionary, code alphabet and coding map, and check that the code efficiency meets both requirements.
2. Choose a source coding scheme for a memoryless ternary source with symbol period Tx = 10 µs and PMD
so that it produces a binary output with symbol rate Fy ≤ 100 kHz. Justify your choice and explicitly provide the coding map.

Abnormal Psychology Fictional Case Study and Therapy
Identify the treatment approach for your case based upon the theory you have chosen to explain the disorder. Then in 2-3 pages, write your own theoretical analysis of case characteristics in relation to the disorder the case represents.
Write the case and theoretical analysis in a 3–4-page paper in Word format.
Develop one original fictional case study that portrays a specific diagnosis within the categories of: anxiety, somatoform, or dissociative disorders.
The case description must include all of the DSM criteria necessary to diagnose that disorder, but may also include additional symptoms not found within that diagnostic category.

In the 1st Video, John discusses the complicated reasons why the United States spends so much more on health care than any other country in the world, and along the way reveals some surprising information, including that Americans spend more of their tax dollars on public health care than people in Canada, the UK, or Australia. Who’s at fault? Insurance companies? Drug companies? Malpractice lawyers? Hospitals? Or is it more complicated than a simple blame game? (Hint: It’s that one.)
In the 2nd Video, U.S. health care costs are higher than any other country in the world. So what is it about America’s system that makes it so expensive?
