Control of walking has been described by a tripartite model consisting of stepping, equilibrium, and adaptability. This review focuses on walking adaptability, which is defined as the ability to modify walking to meet task goals and environmental demands. Walking adaptability is crucial to safe ambulation in the home and community environments and is often severely compromised after a stroke. Y...

OBJECTIVE To examine the contents of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4) by mapping it to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). METHODS Each of the 30 scoreable items in the MPAI-4 was mapped to the most precise ICF categories. RESULTS All 30 items could be mapped to components and categories in the ICF. A total of 88 meaningful concepts...

In the business climate an increasing number of people are expected to perform complex work-related tasks while on the move. In some of these systems, the movement of the mobile user to different physical locations results in the volatility of location-dependent information. For example the answer to the question, ‘where is the nearest train station?’ changes as a mobile user roams around its e...

to locate the genes controlling adaptability in bread wheat using ammi (additive main effect and multiplicative interaction) model, twenty-one substitution lines derived from the parents chinese spring (recipient) and chayan (donor) were used in a randomized complete block design with three replications in three different environments in the agricultural college of razi university, kermanshah, ...

This study used Bayesian inference to investigate the genotype x environment interaction in common bean grown in Mato Grosso do Sul State, and it also evaluated the efficiency of using informative and minimally informative a priori distributions. Six trials were conducted in randomized blocks, and the grain yield of 13 common bean genotypes was assessed. To represent the minimally informative a...

This paper concerns the relationship between the detectable and useful structure in an environment and the degree to which a population can adapt to that environment. We explore the hypothesis that adaptability will depend unimodally on environmental variety, and we measure this component of environmental structure using the information-theoretic uncertainty (Shannon entropy) of detectable envi...
