Cases like Target.com show that there is still uncertainty about the precise meaning of “web accessibility”, about how to identify accessibility problems, and about when to claim that a web site is accessible. In this paper I suggest that the only way to change this is by focussing on sustainable accessibility, i.e. by shaping and establishing effective accessibility processes that can be susta...

Objectives: The primary focus in the rehabilitation services program is the universal coverage of these services, in other words, to provide better access to these services in any place and situation. The present study aimed to develop and validate a physical rehabilitation accessibility assessment questionnaire as a standardized instrument that can be adaptable to people with physical disabili...

Formation of amyloid fibrils is involved in a range of fatal human disorders including Alzheimer, Parkinson, and prion diseases. Yeast prions, despite differences in sequence from their mammalian counterparts, share similar features with mammalian prions including infectivity, prion strain phenomenon, and species barrier and thus are good model systems for human prion diseases. Yeast prions nor...

The internet has become an indispensable tool for the access of information. However, most websites are not sufficiently accessible for people with disabilities. Accessibility problems originate from either the underlying CMS systems or from content authors disregarding fundamental accessibility requirements. With the Content Accessibility Checker CAC we give a tool at hand to specifically red-...

Abstract Purpose of this paper: The objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach to evaluate the most suitable RFID-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. Design/methodology/approach: R...

BACKGROUND Substrate accessibility to catalysts has been a dominant theme in theories of biomass deconstruction. However, current methods of quantifying accessibility do not elucidate mechanisms for increased accessibility due to changes in microstructure following pretreatment. RESULTS We introduce methods for characterization of surface accessibility based on fine-scale microstructure of th...

The topic I want to address is the role that accessibility evaluation methods can play in helping the transition from accessibility viewed as standard conformance, to a user-centered accessibility. As we will see, this change sets additional requirements on how evaluations of websites should be carried out. This paper first discusses different problems that occur while dealing with accessibilit...
