Drug Package Leaflets provide information for patients on how to safely use medicines. European Commission and recent studies stress that further efforts must be made to improve the readability and understandability of package leaflets in order to ensure the proper use of medicines and to increase patient safety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that directly deals with the ...

We describe a technique and a tool supporting partial evaluation of Fortran programs, i.e. their specialization for specific values of their input variables. We aim at understanding old programs, which have become very complex due to numerous extensions. From a given Fortran program and these values of its input variables, the tool provides a simplified program, which behaves like the initial o...

We consider computer aided assessment (CAA) of mathematics in which a student provides an answer in the form of a mathematical expression. A common approach is for CAA system implementors to adopt a linear syntax to allow students to communicate their answer to the machine. In this paper we consider the problems students encounter when mediating between (i) traditional mathematical notation and...

Individuals with a given age, education, and student status in the current and previous year are compared to their counterparts born 1 y...
