* If the entire language does not allow side-effects, then any evaluation strategy can be used ; this gives the compiler freedom to reorder or combine the evaluation of expressions in a program ( for example, using deforestation ).

When using delayed evaluation, an expression is not evaluated as soon as it gets bound to a variable, but when the evaluator is forced to produce the expression's value.

In many other languages, evaluation can be delayed by explicitly suspending the computation using special syntax ( as with Scheme's "" and "" and OCaml's "" and "") or, more generally, by wrapping the expression in a thunk.

Given the same set of verifiable facts, some societies or individuals will have a fundamental disagreement about what one ought to do based on societal or individual norms, and one cannot adjudicate these using some independent standard of evaluation.

An unusual feature of its syntax was that expressions were constructed using the conventional infix operators, but all of them had the same precedence and evaluation went from left to right unless there were brackets.

Here is an implementation ( in pseudocode ) of prefix evaluation using a stack.

Implementations of programming languages that offer interactive evaluation of source code ( using an interpreter or an incremental compiler ) present identifiers at runtime, sometimes even as first-class objects that can be freely manipulated and evaluated.

What's more, they argue that one cannot adjudicate these disagreements using some independent standard of evaluation — the standard will always be societal or personal.

Traditionally, porosity and permeability were determined through the study of hand specimens, contiguous parts of the reservoir that outcrop at the surface ( see e. g. Guerriero et al., 2009, 2011, in references below ) and by the technique of formation evaluation using wireline tools passed down the well itself.

Analyzing the comorbid state of patient S, 73 years of age, using the most used international comorbidity assessment scales, a doctor would come across totally different evaluation.

This involves playing out all hypothetical moves on the board up to a certain point, then using an evaluation function to estimate the value of that position for the current player.

* The banyan tree is used as an example of interdependence by Sir Mark Moody Stuart of Royal Dutch Shell in the critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary The Corporation when he says that “ even someone living under a banyan tree is dependent upon support from someone and economic lack has to be addressed by everyone .” The film explores corporate wrongdoing and malfeasance through the psychiatric evaluation of the Corporation as a person, concluding that using criteria from the American Psychological Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders the Corporation would be considered a psychopath, given its pervasive pattern of disregard for, or violations of, the rights of others.

The examples above can be turned in more precise definitions using the concept of social evaluation defined above.

The operational semantics of ISWIM are defined using Landin's SECD machine and use call-by-value, that is eager evaluation.

Mathematics educators using problem solving for evaluation have an issue phrased by Alan H. Schoenfeld:

A Speech Language Pathologist could make the diagnosis on his or her own after an evaluation is done.

2003-2006 evaluation of Arkansas Environmental and Spatial Technology Initiative ( EAST ).

* The local school system can refer a deaf / hard-of-hearing student to LSD for an evaluation by the LSD Statewide Assessment Center for the Hearing Impaired ( SWAC-HI ) to determine levels of performance and program needs.

: The 53 WG is headquartered at Eglin and serves as the Air Force ’ s focal point for operational test and evaluation of armament and avionics, aircrew training devices, chemical defense, aerial reconnaissance improvements, electronic warfare systems, and is responsible for the QF-4 Phantom II Full Scale Aerial Target ( FSAT ) program and subscale drone programs ( located at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida ).

The European Macroseismic Scale ( EMS ) is the basis for evaluation of seismic intensity in European countries and is also used in a number of countries outside Europe.

Alcoholic patients should receive vitamin supplementation and a formal evaluation of their nutritional status.

Many mental health professionals use the manual to determine and help communicate a patient's diagnosis after an evaluation ; hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies in the US also generally require a ' five axis ' DSM diagnosis of all the patients treated.

The study authors suggest physician evaluation via contrast enhanced CT scans for the presence of pulmonary emboli when caring for patients diagnosed with respiratory complications from a " severe " case of the H1N1 flu.

Acupuncturists tend to perceive TCM concepts in functional rather than structural terms, i. e. as being useful in guiding evaluation and care of patients.

Because of the strong association between the presence of pubic lice and classic sexually transmitted infections ( STIs ), patients diagnosed with pubic lice should undergo evaluation for other STIs.

Although such medical scoring systems may aid in the evaluation of patients, no single score or combination of scores can be trusted to specifically detect all and only those patients who are difficult to intubate.

Surveillance of medical devices and evaluation of clinical protocols to ensure the ongoing protection of patients, volunteers in biomedical research, carers, comforters and persons subjected to non-medical imaging exposures from the deleterious effects of physical agents in accordance with the latest published evidence or own research when the available evidence is not sufficient.

MRI can be useful for further evaluation of questionable findings as well as for screening pre-surgical evaluation in patients with known breast cancer to detect any additional lesions that might change the surgical approach, for instance from breast-conserving lumpectomy to mastectomy.

A review commissioned by the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force concluded that " Prostate-specific antigen-based screening results in small or no reduction in prostate cancer-specific mortality and is associated with harms related to subsequent evaluation and treatments, some of which may be unnecessary ," or more simply, " he potential benefit does not outweigh the expected harms " in patients not already diagnosed or being treated for prostate cancer.

However, since most patients with right upper quadrant pain do not have cholecystitis, primary evaluation is usually accomplished with a modality that can diagnose other causes, as well.

This includes a preoperative evaluation, consultation with the surgical team, creating a plan for the anesthesia tailored to each individual patient, airway management, intraoperative life support and provision of pain control, intraoperative diagnostic stabilization, and proper post-operative management of patients.

Families and physicians should determine screening schedules for specific patients, especially the age at which to discontinue screening, based upon their own evaluation of the risk-benefit ratio.

In neurology clinics, the reported prevalence of unexplained symptoms among new patients is very high ( between 30 and 60 %) However, diagnosis of conversion typically requires an additional psychiatric evaluation, and since few patients will see a psychiatrist it is unclear what proportion of the unexplained symptoms are actually due to conversion.

In the medical terminology, hand-held dynamometers are used for routine screening of grip and hand strength, and the initial and ongoing evaluation of patients with hand trauma or dysfunction.
