  2. Developmental systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_systems_theory

    Developmental systems theory (DST) is an overarching theoretical perspective on biological development, heredity, and evolution. [1] It emphasizes the shared contributions of genes , environment, and epigenetic factors on developmental processes.

  3. Dempster–Shafer theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dempster–Shafer_theory

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogical_self

    The "dialogical self" is the central concept in the dialogical self theory (DST), as created and developed by the Dutch psychologist Hubert Hermans since the 1990s. Overview [ edit ]

  5. Transferable belief model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferable_belief_model

    The transferable belief model (TBM) is an elaboration on the Dempster–Shafer theory (DST), which is a mathematical model used to evaluate the probability that a given proposition is true from other propositions that are assigned probabilities.

  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. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    Dynamical systems theory and chaos theory deal with the long-term qualitative behavior of dynamical systems.Here, the focus is not on finding precise solutions to the equations defining the dynamical system (which is often hopeless), but rather to answer questions like "Will the system settle down to a steady state in the long term, and if so, what are the possible steady states?", or "Does ...

  8. Daylight saving time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

    Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight saving(s), daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

  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.
