Representation of different software components for performing a hypothetical holiday reservation in UML. An interface description language or interface definition language (IDL) is a generic term for a language that lets a program or object written in one language communicate with another program written in an unknown language.
The findgen function in the above example returns a one-dimensional array of floating point numbers, with values equal to a series of integers starting at 0.. Note that the operation in the second line applies in a vectorized manner to the whole 100-element array created in the first line, analogous to the way general-purpose array programming languages (such as APL, J or K) would do it.
Like other interface description languages, IDL defined interfaces in a language- and machine- independent way, allowing the specification of interfaces between components written in different languages, and possibly executing on different machines using remote procedure calls.
The IDL on modern CIA maps now reflects the most recent shifts in the IDL [10] (see § Historic alterations below). The current HMNAO map does not draw the IDL in conformity with recent shifts in the IDL; it draws a line virtually identical to that adopted by the UK's Hydrographic Office about 1900. [12]
Web IDL is an interface description language (IDL) format for describing APIs (application programming interfaces) that are intended to be implemented in web browsers. Its adoption was motivated by the desire to improve the interoperability of web programming interfaces by specifying how languages such as ECMAScript should bind these interfaces.
The concept of health numeracy is a component of the concept of health literacy. Health numeracy and health literacy can be thought of as the combination of skills needed for understanding risk and making good choices in health-related behavior. Health numeracy requires basic numeracy but also more advanced analytical and statistical skills.
IDLH values are often used to guide the selection of breathing apparatus that are made available to workers or firefighters in specific situations. [ 1 ] The NIOSH definition does not include oxygen deficiency (below 19.5%) although atmosphere-supplying breathing apparatus is also required. [ 3 ]
Serial sevens (or, more generally, the descending subtraction task; DST), where a patient counts down from one hundred by sevens, is a clinical test used to test cognition; for example, to help assess mental status after possible head injury, in suspected cases of dementia or to show sleep inertia.
