  2. Onion model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_model

    An onion model used in social penetration theory. The onion model is a graph-based diagram and conceptual model for describing relationships among levels of a hierarchy, evoking a metaphor of the layered "shells" exposed when an onion (or other concentric assembly of spheroidal objects) is bisected by a plane that intersects the center or the innermost shell.

  3. Planetary boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundary_layer

    In addition to the surface layer, the planetary boundary layer also comprises the PBL core (between 0.1 and 0.7 of the PBL depth) and the PBL top or entrainment layer or capping inversion layer (between 0.7 and 1 of the PBL depth). Four main external factors determine the PBL depth and its mean vertical structure:

  4. Shearing layers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shearing_layers

    Shearing layers is a concept coined by architect Frank Duffy, which was later elaborated by Stewart Brand in his book, How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built (Brand, 1994), and refers to buildings as composed of several layers of change. The concept has been adopted by a number of technology vendors to also describe the different ...

    Each layer of architecture in the model has a specific intention: [25] Business Architecture level: This level can picture the total or a subunit of any corporation, which are in contact with external organizations. Information architecture level: This level specifies types of content, presentation forms, and format of the information required.

    K-theory (eddy diffusivity/viscosity theory) is a form of local closure, and is the main first order closure scheme within the surface layer. K-theory follows a similar concept as molecular viscosity, in that the turbulent flux of a quantity is proportional to its spatial gradient, with K as the eddy viscosity/diffusivity.

  7. 4+1 architectural view model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4+1_architectural_view_model

    UML Diagrams used to represent the development view include the Package diagram and the Component diagram. [2] Physical view: The physical view (aka the deployment view) depicts the system from a system engineer's point of view. It is concerned with the topology of software components on the physical layer as well as the physical connections ...

    A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction is a 1977 book on architecture, urban design, and community livability.It was authored by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein of the Center for Environmental Structure of Berkeley, California, with writing credits also to Max Jacobson, Ingrid Fiksdahl-King and Shlomo Angel.

  9. Cognitive architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_architecture

    The cognitive architecture implements the theory on computers. The software used to implement the cognitive architectures was also called "cognitive architectures". Thus, a cognitive architecture can also refer to a blueprint for intelligent agents. It proposes (artificial) computational processes that act like certain cognitive systems.
