The Abbreviated Mental Test score (AMTS) is a 10-point test for rapidly assessing elderly patients for the possibility of dementia. It was first used in 1972, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and is now sometimes also used to assess for mental confusion (including delirium ) and other cognitive impairments .
The Tactual Performance Test (TPT) is a neuropsychological test that attempts to measure motor abilities and the recall of motor stimuli. This test requires the use of a blindfold, which taxes subsystems involved in motor and motor-memory. [1] The TPT is also included in the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery. [2]
SPIN is a general tool for verifying the correctness of concurrent software models in a rigorous and mostly automated fashion. It was written by Gerard J. Holzmann and others in the original Unix group of the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs, beginning in 1980. The software has been available freely since 1991, and continues to ...
In the United States, a spin room, also known as spin row [1] or spin alley, [2] [3] is an area in which reporters can speak with debate participants and/or their representatives after a debate. The name refers to the fact that the participants will attempt to " spin " or influence the perception of the debate among the assembled reporters.
The underturned spin is a useful variation on the natural spin turn that allows a leader to navigate a corner. The step is identical to the natural spin turn but only rotates 3 ⁄ 8 of a turn on the pivot (beat 4) instead of 1 ⁄ 2, and 1 ⁄ 4 of a turn on 4 to 6 instead of 3 ⁄ 8. [3] This reduces the total amount of rotation by 1 ⁄ 4 of ...
In the case of a spin glass, we expect the free energy per spin (or any self averaging quantity) in the thermodynamic limit to be independent of the particular values of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic couplings between individual sites, across the lattice. So, we explicitly find the free energy as a function of the disorder parameter (in ...
The tests differ in the rotation of the arm; in the empty can test, the arm is rotated to full internal rotation (thumb down) and in the full can test, the arm is rotated to 45° external rotation, thumb up. [1] Once rotated, the clinician pushes down on either the wrists or the elbow, and the patient is instructed to resist the downward pressure.
Variations of the upright spin include the layback spin, the Biellman spin (created by world champion Denise Biellmann), [30] [31] the full layback, the split, the back upright spin, the forward upright spin, the scratch spin (also called the blur spin), [23] and the sideways leaning spin.
