  2. Developmental systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_systems_theory

    To adopt a computing metaphor, the reductionists (whom developmental systems theory opposes) assume that causal factors can be divided into ‘processes’ and ‘data’, as in the Harvard computer architecture. Data (inputs, resources, content, and so on) is required by all processes, and must often fall within certain limits if the process ...

    Arthur P. Dempster at the Workshop on Theory of Belief Functions (Brest, 1 April 2010).. The theory of belief functions, also referred to as evidence theory or Dempster–Shafer theory (DST), is a general framework for reasoning with uncertainty, with understood connections to other frameworks such as probability, possibility and imprecise probability theories.

  5. Transferable belief model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferable_belief_model

    In contrast to the DST the mass allocated to the empty set is not required to be zero, and hence generally () holds true. The underlying idea is that the frame of discernment is not necessarily exhaustive , and thus belief allocated to a proposition A ∈ 2 X {\displaystyle A\in 2^{X}} , is in fact allocated to A ∈ 2 X ∪ e {\displaystyle A ...

  6. Analysis of daylight saving time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_daylight...

    Daylight saving time (DST) is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls later each day according to the clock.. Proponents of DST generally argue that it saves energy, promotes outdoor leisure activity in the evening (in summer), and therefore is good for physical and psychological health, reduces traffic accidents, reduces crime or is good for business.

  7. History of software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_software

    Computer science is more theoretical (Turing's essay is an example of computer science), whereas software engineering is focused on more practical concerns. However, prior to 1946, software as we now understand it – programs stored in the memory of stored-program digital computers – did not yet exist.

  8. Dialogical self - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogical_self

    DST is inspired by two thinkers in particular, William James and Mikhail Bakhtin, who worked in different countries (USA and Russia, respectively), in different disciplines (psychology and literary sciences), and in different theoretical traditions (pragmatism and dialogism). [4]

  9. Descriptive set theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_set_theory

    In mathematical logic, descriptive set theory (DST) is the study of certain classes of "well-behaved" subsets of the real line and other Polish spaces.As well as being one of the primary areas of research in set theory, it has applications to other areas of mathematics such as functional analysis, ergodic theory, the study of operator algebras and group actions, and mathematical logic.
