The purpose of this discussion paper is to examine approaches for extending the ADL SCORM standard with additional metadata based on ADL approved methods. An introduction to the ADL SCORM standard is presented followed by a description of the SCORM components. Examples of how SCORM is lacking LOM in the areas pedagogy, adaptive learning and learning assessment data are then discussed. According...

A main advantage of Architecture Description Languages (ADL) is their aptitude to facilitate formal analysis and verification of complex software architectures. Since some researchers try to extend them by new techniques, we show in this paper how the use of tile logic as extension of rewriting logic can enforce the ability of existing ADL formalisms to cope with hierarchy and composition featu...

BACKGROUND Maintaining independence in daily functioning is an important health outcome in older adults. A key measure of functional independence in elders is the ability to do activities of daily living (ADL) without the assistance of another person. However, few prognostic indices have been developed that stratify elders into groups at variable risk for developing ADL dependence. OBJECTIVE ...

BACKGROUND This study sought to determine whether the rates of basic activities of daily living (ADL) disabilities and functional limitations declined, remained the same, or increased between 2000 and 2005 when (a) only community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older were examined and (b) when institutionalized older adults were included. METHOD Using data from the American Community Survey an...

Polio involvement and its relation to ability in terms of independence and perceived difficulty in activities in daily living (ADL) were studied in outpatients (median age 57 years) with poliomyelitis sequelae (n = 133). The use and need of assistive devices and housing conditions were recorded. The subjects had a high degree of independence in personal ADL, whereas more than 50% were dependent...

BACKGROUND: Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction that has autoantibodies can be found in most cases. Fatigue and skeletal muscle weakness are pathognomonic symptoms MG severely disabling, interfering with a patient’s ability to pursue activities daily living, limiting their work, family, social lives. AIM: This study aimed analyze correlation between fat...

Combinatorial proofs are given for certain entries in Ramanujan’s lost notebook. Bijections of Sylvester, Franklin, and Wright, and applications of Algorithm Z of Zeilberger are employed. A new bijection, involving the new concept of the parity sequence of a partition, is used to prove one of Ramanujan’s fascinating identities for a partial theta function.

The close form of some integrals involving recently developed generalized k-Struve functions is obtained. The outcome of these integrations is expressed in terms of generalized Wright functions. Several special cases are deduced which lead to some known results.

In order to ensure the quality of their software development, companies incorporate best practices from recognized repositories or from their own experiences. These best practices are often described in software quality manuals which does not guarantee their implementation. In this paper, we propose a framework for the implementation of best practices concerning the design of the software archi...
