https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterconditioning | Counterconditioning (also called stimulus substitution) is functional analytic principle that is part of behavior analysis, and involves the conditioning of an unwanted behavior or response to a stimulus into a wanted behavior or response by the association of positive actions with the stimulus. For example, when train... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log%20area%20ratio | Log area ratios (LAR) can be used to represent reflection coefficients (another form for linear prediction coefficients) for transmission over a channel. While not as efficient as line spectral pairs (LSPs), log area ratios are much simpler to compute. Let be the kth reflection coefficient of a filter, the kth LAR is:... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization%20of%20TV%20transmitter%20and%20receiver | In general, synchronizations is the process in which the signals are transmitted and received in accordance with the clock pulses. In synchronization of Television transmitter, a sharp pulse is sent between each video signal line so that to maintain the impeccable transmitter-receiver synchronization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt%20pruning | Salt pruning is the process by which saline mists generated by seawater are driven ashore by winds and thus over time alter the shape of trees or shrubs. The process degrades foliage and branches on the windward side of the plant that faces the body of saline water, more than it does the foliage on the landward side. T... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle%20metric | In differential geometry, the notion of a metric tensor can be extended to an arbitrary vector bundle, and to some principal fiber bundles. This metric is often called a bundle metric, or fibre metric.
Definition
If M is a topological manifold and : E → M a vector bundle on M, then a metric on E is a bundle map k : E... |
