  2. Manifest and latent functions and dysfunctions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_and_latent...

    Manifest functions are the consequences that people see, observe or even expect. It is explicitly stated and understood by the participants in the relevant action. The manifest function of a rain dance, according to Merton in his 1957 Social Theory and Social Structure, is to produce rain, and this outcome is intended and desired by people participating in the ritual.

  3. Digital signal processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processor

    Digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms typically require a large number of mathematical operations to be performed quickly and repeatedly on a series of data samples. Signals (perhaps from audio or video sensors) are constantly converted from analog to digital, manipulated digitally, and then converted back to analog form.

  4. Digital signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processing

    Digital signal processing (DSP) is the use of digital processing, such as by computers or more specialized digital signal processors, to perform a wide variety of signal processing operations. The digital signals processed in this manner are a sequence of numbers that represent samples of a continuous variable in a domain such as time, space ...

  5. Social system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_system

    In sociology, a social system is the patterned network of relationships constituting a coherent whole that exist between individuals, groups, and institutions. [1] It is the formal structure of role and status that can form in a small, stable group. [1]

  6. Digital signal (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_(signal...

    In the context of digital signal processing (DSP), a digital signal is a discrete time, quantized amplitude signal. In other words, it is a sampled signal consisting of samples that take on values from a discrete set (a countable set that can be mapped one-to-one to a subset of integers).

  7. DSP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSP

    Digital signal processing, the mathematical manipulation of an information signal; Digital signal processor, a microprocessor designed for digital signal processing; Dynamic Reconfiguration port; Yamaha DSP-1, a proprietary digital signal processor; Demand-side platform, a system to facilitate the buying of online advertising

  8. Power (social and political) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(social_and_political)

    outcome power – the ability of an actor to bring about or help bring about outcomes; social power – the ability of an actor to change the incentive structures of other actors in order to bring about outcomes. This framework can be used to model a wide range of social interactions where actors have the ability to exert power over others.

  9. Parallel processing (DSP implementation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Processing_(DSP...

    In digital signal processing (DSP), parallel processing is a technique duplicating function units to operate different tasks (signals) simultaneously. [1] Accordingly, we can perform the same processing for different signals on the corresponding duplicated function units.
