The Trust specialises in talking therapies. The education and training department caters for 2,000 students a year from the United Kingdom and abroad. The Trust is based at the Tavistock Centre in Swiss Cottage. T... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphoretickes | Diaphoretickes ( ) is a major group of eukaryotic organisms, with over 400,000 species. The majority of the earth's biomass that carries out photosynthesis belongs to Diaphoretickes.
Diaphoretickes includes the following groups:
Where Chromista is used as a taxon, its member groups (SAR supergroup, and "Hacrobia" ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity%20resolution | Ambiguity resolution is used to find the value of a measurement that requires modulo sampling.
This is required for pulse-Doppler radar signal processing.
Measurements
Some types of measurements introduce an unavoidable modulo operation in the measurement process. This happens with all radar systems.
Radar aliasing... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical%20isomorphism | In mathematics—more specifically, in differential geometry—the musical isomorphism (or canonical isomorphism) is an isomorphism between the tangent bundle and the cotangent bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold induced by its metric tensor. There are similar isomorphisms on symplectic manifolds. The term musical ref... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutant%20lifting%20theorem | In operator theory, the commutant lifting theorem, due to Sz.-Nagy and Foias, is a powerful theorem used to prove several interpolation results.
Statement
The commutant lifting theorem states that if is a contraction on a Hilbert space , is its minimal unitary dilation acting on some Hilbert space (which can be sh... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetronic | Jetronic is a trade name of a manifold injection technology for automotive petrol engines, developed and marketed by Robert Bosch GmbH from the 1960s onwards. Bosch licensed the concept to many automobile manufacturers. There are several variations of the technology offering technological development and refinement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super%20Tonks%E2%80%93Girardeau%20gas | In physics, the super-Tonks–Girardeau gas represents an excited quantum gas phase with strong attractive interactions in a one-dimensional spatial geometry.
Usually, strongly attractive quantum gases are expected to form dense particle clusters and lose all gas-like properties. But in 2005, it was proposed by Stefano ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential%20dynamical%20system | Sequential dynamical systems (SDSs) are a class of graph dynamical systems. They are discrete dynamical systems which generalize many aspects of for example classical cellular automata, and they provide a framework for studying asynchronous processes over graphs. The analysis of SDSs uses techniques from combinatorics,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2-brane | In theoretical physics, an M2-brane, is a spatially extended mathematical object (brane) that appears in string theory and in related theories (e.g. M-theory, F-theory). In particular, it is a solution of eleven-dimensional supergravity which possesses a three-dimensional world volume.
Description
The M2-brane solutio... |
