this study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. the software flac2d was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (ida) was applied for sei...

This article reviews the current techniques of surface electromyography (SEMG) assessment. Discussed are static, dynamic, and combination assessment techniques and the rational for their use.

Abstract Dynamic assessment is heavily based on Vygotskian socio-cultural theory and in recent years researchers have shown interest the as a way to facilitate learning. This study attempted examine comparative effect of group dynamic (GDA) computerized (CDA) listening development, L2 learners’ perfectionism, anxiety, intrinsic motivation. To this end, 91 intermediate learners English were sele...

Twenty-eight patients with polyneuropathy aged 49-82 years (mean 67 years) were assessed by dynamic posturography. The patient group was compared to a control group comprising 29 healthy controls aged 70 through 75 years (mean 73 years). The dynamic posturography method comprises a sensory organization part in which the platform and visual surround are either stable or referenced to the patient...

Dynamic and static assessments in phonological disorders provide different information about a child’s skills and development. Dynamic assessments evaluate a child’s phonological system when given support, whereas static assessments evaluate skills without support. The Scaffolding Scale of Stimulability (SSS), described in this article, is one example of a dynamic assessment used to evaluate ph...

To assess own actions and define individual learning needs is fundamental for professional development. The development of self-assessment skills requires practice and feedback during the course of studies. The “Interactive Examination” is a methodology aiming to assist students developing their self-assessment skills. The present study describes the methodology and presents the results from a ...
