  2. Monroe's motivated sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe's_motivated_sequence

    Monroe's motivated sequence is a technique for organizing persuasion that inspires people to take action. Alan H. Monroe developed this sequence in the mid-1930s. [1] This sequence is unique because it strategically places these strategies to arouse the audience's attention and motivate them toward a specific goal or action.

  3. Sieve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_analysis

    A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in geology, civil engineering, [1] and chemical engineering [2] to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction ...

  4. Sieve estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_estimator

    Sieve estimators have been used extensively for estimating density functions in high-dimensional spaces such as in Positron emission tomography (PET). The first exploitation of Sieves in PET for solving the maximum-likelihood image reconstruction problem was by Donald Snyder and Michael Miller, [1] where they stabilized the time-of-flight PET problem originally solved by Shepp and Vardi. [2]

  5. Persuasive writing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasive_writing

    Persuasive writing is a form of written arguments designed to convince, motivate, or sway readers toward a specific point of view or opinion on a given topic. This writing style relies on presenting reasoned opinions supported by evidence that substantiates the central thesis .

  6. Modes of persuasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_persuasion

    This process gets its name because speakers need to use the correct words during a speech so their audience correctly understands their message. If a speaker wants to use a specific word, slang, or metaphor, he/she needs to do a lot of research on his/her audience's background to understand the values and knowledge of their audience to persuade ...

  7. Sieve of Eratosthenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes

    A solution to these problems is offered by segmented sieves, where only portions of the range are sieved at a time. [10] These have been known since the 1970s, and work as follows: [9] [11] Divide the range 2 through n into segments of some size Δ ≥ √ n. Find the primes in the first (i.e. the lowest) segment, using the regular sieve.

  8. Sieve theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_theory

    The techniques of sieve theory can be quite powerful, but they seem to be limited by an obstacle known as the parity problem, which roughly speaking asserts that sieve theory methods have extreme difficulty distinguishing between numbers with an odd number of prime factors and numbers with an even number of prime factors. This parity problem is ...

  9. Discourse analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_analysis

    Discourse analysis (DA), or discourse studies, is an approach to the analysis of written, spoken, or sign language, including any significant semiotic event. [ citation needed ] The objects of discourse analysis ( discourse , writing, conversation, communicative event ) are variously defined in terms of coherent sequences of sentences ...
