PURPOSE Functional mobility is necessary to perform activities of daily living and for community participation for everyone, but especially important for persons with disabilities (PWD). Therefore, functional mobility requires reliable measurement of consumer satisfaction and functional changes. The functional mobility assessment (FMA) instrument is a self-report outcomes tool designed to measu...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the factor structure of three standardized memory tests: Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R), Warrington Recognition Memory Test (WRMT), Doors and People Test (D&P). We investigated whether these different standardized tests of memory are consistent in their evaluation of memory function, and the extent to which these tests discriminate betwee...

In this paper we mainly focus on some determinants with Legendre symbol entries. For an odd prime p and an integer d, let S(d, p) denote the determinant of the (p − 1)/2 × (p − 1)/2 matrix whose (i, j)-entry (1 6 i, j 6 (p− 1)/2) is the Le...

Analyses of eight widely used memory measures (Word List Acquisition and Recall used in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale and the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease neuropsychology battery, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised [WMS-R] Logical Memory I and II, WMS-R Visual Reproduction I and II, the memory scores from the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination [NCSE...

The Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) is one of the most commonly used psychological measures in clinical practice and research. The newly revised fourth edition (WMS-IV) has recently been published, and introduced a novel substitution rule in which scores from the California Verbal Learning Test, Second Edition (CVLTII) may replace WMS-IV subtest scores for Verbal Paired Associates (VPA) I and II su...

The main objective of this study was to compare a "traditional" test of memory, the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R; Wechsler, 1987) with a behavioral evaluation test, the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT; Wilson, Cockburn, & Baddeley, 1985). Eighty volunteers participated in the study and were divided into four groups: 20 older adults with memory problems, 20 patients with temporal...

We have investigated the pressure dependence of the detection sensitivity of CO(2), N(2)O and CH(4) using wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) with distributed feed-back diode lasers in the near infrared region. The spectral line shapes and the background noise of the second harmonics (2f) detection of the WMS were analyzed theoretically. We determined the optimum pressure conditions in the...

Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS, OMIM# 227600) is a genetically determined, rare systemic connective tissue disorder. The divided into four types according to mutations in related genes. Given the limited number of individuals with WMS literature, no genotype-phenotype correlations for ADAMTS10, ADAMTS17, FBN1, or LTBP2 have been identified. In accessible none studies were focused on oral and de...

Many discovery methods for geographic information services have been proposed. There are approaches for finding and matching geographic information services, methods for constructing geographic information service classification schemes, and automatic geographic information discovery. Overall, the efficiency of the geographic information discovery keeps improving., There are however, still two ...
