A systematic literature review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice to improve or maintain the driving performance and community mobility of older adults with low vision. The results of this review identified a limited number of articles-eight-that met the inclusion criteria. Identified intervention strategies included th...

the present study was an attempt to assess religious orientation and life satisfaction as well as to find out relationship of religious orientation with life satisfaction among university students. university students were also compared on religious orientation and life satisfaction with respect to their gender. the data for the present study was obtained from university students [n=200 (males ...

The role of alloy and phonon scattering is theoretically explored in 5 nm diameter SiGe nanowires at room temperature. Low field mobility calculations are performed by utilizing sp3d5ds∗-spin-orbit-coupled tight binding model for electronic structure and Boltzmann transport formalism. Three different transport orientations <100>, <110> and <111> are considered. Alloy scattering is found to play...

the study of social mobility is part of urban studies. iranian sociological investigations do not reflect much about the problem of women’s social mobility; while understanding the dynamics of women’s mobility and its extent can help in planning and policy-making within the framework of social studies. the present research probes into women’s inter-generation social mobility in an iranian urban...

In this paper, we propose some adaptation to Geographical Information System (GIS) components used in GPS based navigation system. In our design process, we adopted a user-centered design approach in collaboration with final users and Orientation and Mobility (O&M) instructors. A database scheme is presented to integrate the principal classes proposed by users and O&M instructors. In addition, ...

The mobility is a complex, yet not well understood, human cognitive process; it subtends several different tasks such as walking and orientation. The visually impaired people (VIP) mobility heavily depends on the white stick (or white cane) which however does not provide an efficient support for walking and orientation. Indeed, these two later functions implementation requires the usage of high...

We investigated the characteristics of carrier transport and crystallographic orientation distribution in 500-nm-thick Al-doped ZnO (AZO) polycrystalline films to achieve high-Hall-mobility AZO films. The AZO films were deposited on glass substrates at 200 °C by direct-current, radio-frequency, or radio-frequency-superimposed direct-current magnetron sputtering at various power ratios. We used ...

INTRODUCTION Orientation and mobility (O&M) specialists assess the functional vision and O&M skills of people with mobility problems, usually relating to low vision or blindness. There are numerous O&M assessment checklists but no measures that reduce qualitative assessment data to a single comparable score suitable for assessing any O&M client, of any age or ability, in any location. Functiona...
