Network Centric Product Support
Background and Other Examples The original micro-webserver component (i. e. the onboard unit) that is key to enabling the NCPS architecture was first prototyped and demonstrated in 2001 by David Loda, Enzo Macchia, Sam Quadri and Bjorn Stickling at United Technologies' Pratt & Whitney division and initially tested on b...

Software asset management
Issues with scalability An example of issues faced when scaling up discovery tools is with Microsoft's System Centre Configuration Manager (SCCM). Using SCCM Metering Rules to monitor software usage across a small estate or a small number of applications is relatively easy and reliable given the total number of unique...

Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture
Procedure Two populations of cells are cultivated in cell culture. One of the cell populations is fed with growth medium containing normal amino acids. In contrast, the second population is fed with growth medium containing amino acids labeled with stable (non-radioactive) heavy isotopes. For example, the medium can co...

Id (programming language)
def cycle x = { A = x : A In A }; However, to avoid nonterminating construction of truly infinite structures, explicit delays must be annotated using #: def count_up_from x = x :# count_up_from (x + 1); Implementations pHluid The pHluid system was a research implementation of Id programming language, with future plans ...

Sunflower (mathematics)
The sunflower lemma has numerous applications in theoretical computer science. For example, in 1986, Razborov used the sunflower lemma to prove that the Clique language required (superpolynomial) size monotone circuits, a breakthrough result in circuit complexity theory at the time. Håstad, Jukna, and Pudlák used it t...

Relevance logic
Routley–Meyer models The standard model theory for relevance logics is the Routley-Meyer ternary-relational semantics developed by Richard Routley and Robert Meyer. A Routley–Meyer frame F for a propositional language is a quadruple (W,R,*,0), where W is a non-empty set, R is a ternary relation on W, and * is a functio...

Curry (programming language)
More complex data structures can be obtained by recursive data types. For instance, a list of elements, where the type of elements is arbitrary (denoted by the type variable ), is either the empty list “” or the non-empty list “” consisting of a first element and a list : data List a = [] | a : List a The type “” ...

Methods Ecological triage is not simple, dichotomous decision making. It involves a complex array of factors including assumptions, mathematical calculations, and planning for uncertainties. When assessing an ecosystem, there are a myriad of factors conservationists consider, but there are also variables which they ar...
