Laboratory studies using sodium-bearing waste simulant - ADL 26-94
The purposes of this study were to develop a chemical precipitation procedure that would treat the sodium bearing waste (SBW) and to determine if polymer addition could condition the resulting sludge. Chemical precipitation parameters such as impeller mixing speed, rate of base addition, amount of …

Executive Function and Instrumental ADL Performance in Older Adults with Heart Failure
… to instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) performance among various medical populations, though this has yet to be fully examined in a HF population. The current study examined whether executive function mediates the relationship between HF severity and performance of instrumental …

Design and Development of an Open-Source ADL-Compliant Prosthetic Arm for Transradial Amputees
… ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). Below-elbow prostheses are prescribed. The high cost associated with prostheses results in many amputees in low-to-middleincome countries relying on government subsidised devices, which are cosmetic rather than functional, or none at all. …

Hospital depressive symptoms and ADL disability in older adults: A longitudinal analysis of course and associations
… and disability in activities of daily living (ADL) often increase in older adults during hospitalization and for many persist post-discharge. However, little is known about the psychological and functional response of older adults admitted to an Acute Care for Elders (ACE) unit. Questions …

Self-care dependency among elders in long-term care settings
… of a pattern of activities of daily living (ADL) dependency has led to the use of an additive method of determining self-care dependency and need for long-term care. This traditional method of determining ADL levels is convenient, and it is practical to the extent that individuals in a …

Characterisation of new regulators and neural plasticity of the O2-sensing circuit in Caenorhabditis elegans
… O2-evoked Ca2+ responses in the sensory neuron ADL. Here, we perform a forward genetic screen to isolate mutants that confer O2-escape behaviour on N2 animals. Using whole-genome sequencing and genetic mapping, we identify several conserved genes not previously shown to regulate aggregation. …

The effects of apathy and depression on cognitive and functional outcomes in Alzheimer's disease
… in carrying out activities of daily living (ADL). Apathy and depression are also the two most frequent neuropsychiatric sequalae associated with AD and have an impact on patients' ability to execute ADLs. Little is still known if apathy subdomains differently predict ADL performance in these …

Self-transcendence, health status, and selected demographic variables as determinants of the ability to perform activities of daily living in non-institutionalized older adults
… ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) in non-institutionalized adults. The majority of the 88 subjects were widowed white women 65 years of age and older (M = 73.4) who viewed their health positively, were fairly well educated, and valued their religious/spiritual beliefs. Findings …

Reactive synthesis of action planners
… in this work. Action Description Language (ADL) is used to model the actions. These ADL definitions are then translated to Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). LTL based specifications are further used for the reactive synthesis of the strategy. This work largely focuses on expressiveness which …

Hull, ferulic acid, para-coumaric acid content and particle size characteristics of various barley varieties in relation to nutrient availability in ruminants
… detergent fiber (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) in various barley varities. Mean/median particle size of the barley grain after coarse dry-rolling was also determined. The relationships among these parameters and the digestibility of barley grain in ruminants were then assessed. Six barley …

The Neural Circuit for Behavioral Responses to Pheromone and Social Behavior in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… of sensory mutants, I found that the nociceptive ADL neurons sense ascr#3/C9. Behavioral analysis of synaptically manipulated worms indicated that ADL chemical synapses promotes avoidance behavior. Animals with null mutation in the neuropeptide receptor npr-1 have reduced avoidance of ascr#3/C9. I …

Adiposity and Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: Relationships With Activities of Daily Living, Secondary Complications, and Subjective Well-Being
… between activities of daily living (ADL) and CHD risk factors including central adiposity, lipoproteins, and triglycerides. Using generalized linear models, while controlling for pertinent covariates such as sex, age, and leisure time physical activity (LTPA), it was found that …

Association between Physical Functioning and Depressive Symptom.
본 연구는 65세 이상 노인의 일상생활수행능력(ADL)과 도구적 일상생활수행능력(IADL)이 우울증과의 관련성을 알아봄으로써 노인의 건강증진 방안과 노인보건정책수립의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 시행하였으며 연구도구로는 한국 노동연구원에서 2006에 조사한 고령화연구패널조사(Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing)를 사용하였다. 대상자의 일반적 특성과 우울과의 관계에 있어서 배우자가 없는 경우 우울점수가 높은 것(t=11.783, p<0.001)으로 분석되었으며, 개인자산이 적을수록 우울점수가 높은 …
