  2. Predicate transformer semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate_transformer...

    Predicate transformer semantics were introduced by Edsger Dijkstra in his seminal paper "Guarded commands, nondeterminacy and formal derivation of programs".They define the semantics of an imperative programming paradigm by assigning to each statement in this language a corresponding predicate transformer: a total function between two predicates on the state space of the statement.

  3. Compartmentalization of decay in trees - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartmentalization_of...

    This wall is the weakest. Wall 2. The second wall is formed by the thick-walled, lignin-rich cells of the latewood growth ring interior and exterior to the wound, thus slowing the radial spread of decay. This wall is the second weakest, and is continuous except where intersected by ray cells (see next section). Wall 3.

  4. Best, worst and average case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best,_worst_and_average_case

    In computer science, best, worst, and average cases of a given algorithm express what the resource usage is at least, at most and on average, respectively. Usually the resource being considered is running time, i.e. time complexity, but could also be memory or some other resource. Best case is the function which performs the minimum number of ...

  5. Anemic domain model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemic_domain_model

    The anemic domain model is described as a programming anti-pattern where the domain objects contain little or no business logic like validations, calculations, rules, and so forth. The business logic is thus baked into the architecture of the program itself, making refactoring and maintenance more difficult and time-consuming.

  6. Size effect on structural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_Effect_on_Structural...

    The finiteness of the weakest-link chain model causes major deviations from the Weibull distribution. As the structure size, measured by N e q {\displaystyle N_{eq}} , increases, the grafting point of the Weibullian left part moves to the right until, at about N e q = 10 4 {\displaystyle N_{eq}=10^{4}} , the entire distribution becomes Weibullian.

  7. Sensory threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_threshold

    In psychophysics, sensory threshold is the weakest stimulus that an organism can sense. Unless otherwise indicated, it is usually defined as the weakest stimulus that can be detected half the time, for example, as indicated by a point on a probability curve. [1] Methods have been developed to measure thresholds in any of the senses.

    Photo cred: Getty. More popular than the game show itself was the show's host, Anne Robinson. Robinson quickly became the no nonsense host, and was dubbed the Queen of Mean for her iconic phrase ...

  9. Security dilemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_dilemma

    The spiral model identifies the next step in reasoning about states' behavior after identifying the intensity of the security dilemma. In particular, under given circumstances of the security dilemma, what steps might a threatened state take to derive advantage by attacking first. In other words, the spiral model seeks to explain war.
