PerformanceA performance is an act of staging or presenting a play, concert, or other form of entertainment. It is also defined as the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function. In the work place, job performance is the hypothesized conception or requirements of a role. There are two types of job performances: contextual and task. Task performance is dependent on cognitive ability, while contextual performance is dependent on personality.
Algorithme de rechercheEn informatique, un algorithme de recherche est un type d'algorithme qui, pour un domaine, un problème de ce domaine et des critères donnés, retourne en résultat un ensemble de solutions répondant au problème. Supposons que l'ensemble de ses entrées soit divisible en sous-ensemble, par rapport à un critère donné, qui peut être, par exemple, une relation d'ordre. De façon générale, un tel algorithme vérifie un certain nombre de ces entrées et retourne en sortie une ou plusieurs des entrées visées.
Quality of life (healthcare)In general, quality of life (QoL or QOL) is the perceived quality of an individual's daily life, that is, an assessment of their well-being or lack thereof. This includes all emotional, social and physical aspects of the individual's life. In health care, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an assessment of how the individual's well-being may be affected over time by a disease, disability or disorder.
Trouble de la marchevignette|Patient marchant à l'aide d'une canne pendant la convalescence après une arthroplastie totale du genou. Les troubles de la marche sont des perturbations qui affectent la marche de diverses manières, par exemple des difficultés à se tenir debout, à conserver son équilibre, à avancer, à marcher droit. Les causes sont très diverses, car la marche verticale, qui est le propre de l’homme, met en œuvre des mécanismes complexes.
Clinical officerA clinical officer (CO) is a gazetted officer who is qualified and licensed to practice medicine. In Kenya the basic training for clinical officers starts after high school and takes four or five years ending on successful completion of a one-year internship in a teaching hospital and registration at the Clinical Officers Council where annual practice licenses are issued.
Medication costsMedication costs, also known as drug costs are a common health care cost for many people and health care systems. Prescription costs are the costs to the end consumer. Medication costs are influenced by multiple factors such as patents, stakeholder influence, and marketing expenses. A number of countries including Canada, parts of Europe, and Brazil use external reference pricing as a means to compare drug prices and to determine a base price for a particular medication.
Patient recruitmentPatient recruitment includes a variety of services—typically performed by a Patient Recruitment Service Provider—to increase enrollment into clinical trials. Presently, the patient recruitment industry is claimed to total $19 billion per year. Patient enrollment is the most time-consuming aspect of the clinical trial process. The leading cause of missed clinical trial deadlines is patient recruitment, taking up to 30 percent of the clinical timeline.
Handicap physiquealt=logo handicap moteur|vignette|logo handicap moteur Un handicap physique est un trouble physique qui peut affecter la motricité (perte d'une partie ou de la totalité de la capacité de mouvement) .

Robustness (computer science)In computer science, robustness is the ability of a computer system to cope with errors during execution and cope with erroneous input. Robustness can encompass many areas of computer science, such as robust programming, robust machine learning, and Robust Security Network. Formal techniques, such as fuzz testing, are essential to showing robustness since this type of testing involves invalid or unexpected inputs. Alternatively, fault injection can be used to test robustness.
Cardan (suspension)Un cardan est un support tournant qui permet à un objet de tourner autour d'un axe unique. Un ensemble de trois cardans, montés l'un sur l'autre via des axes de pivot orthogonaux, permet à un objet fixé au cardan intérieur de rester immobile (par exemple vertical dans l'animation ci-contre) quel que soit le mouvement de son support. Par exemple, les gyroscopes, les compas à bord de bateaux, des réchauds et même des porte-bouteilles utilisent fréquemment des cardans pour les maintenir horizontaux malgré le roulis et le tangage du navire.
