  2. WIMP (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing)

    A word processing program that uses a WIMP paradigm, providing mouse-operated toolbars and menus to access its functions. In human–computer interaction, WIMP stands for "windows, icons, menus, pointer", [1] [2] [3] denoting a style of interaction using these elements of the user interface. Other expansions are sometimes used, such as ...

  3. Weakly interacting massive particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly_interacting_massive...

    Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are hypothetical particles that are one of the proposed candidates for dark matter.. There exists no formal definition of a WIMP, but broadly, it is an elementary particle which interacts via gravity and any other force (or forces) which is as weak as or weaker than the weak nuclear force, but also non-vanishing in strength.

  4. Wizard of Oz experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_of_Oz_experiment

    The phrase Wizard of Oz (originally OZ Paradigm) has come into common usage in the fields of experimental psychology, human factors, ergonomics, linguistics, and usability engineering to describe a testing or iterative design methodology wherein an experimenter (the "wizard"), in a laboratory setting, simulates the behavior of a theoretical intelligent computer application (often by going into ...

  5. Post-WIMP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-WIMP

    The reason WIMP interfaces have become so prevalent since their conception at Xerox PARC is that they are very good at abstracting work-spaces, documents, and their actions. Their analogous desktop metaphor to documents as paper sheets or folders makes WIMP interfaces easy to introduce to new users. [ 1 ]

  6. Biological applications of bifurcation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_applications_of...

    Example of a biological network between genes and proteins that controls entry into S phase. However, with knowledge of network interactions and a set of parameters for the proteins and protein interactions (usually obtained through empirical research), it is often possible to construct a model of the network as a dynamical system .

  7. Paradigm (experimental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_(experimental)

    For example, the stop-signal paradigm, "is a popular experimental paradigm to study response inhibition." [5] The cooperative pulling paradigm is used to study cooperation. The weather prediction test is a paradigm used to study procedural learning. [5] Other examples include Skinner boxes, rat mazes, and trajectory mapping.

  8. Systems biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_biology

    Systems biology can be considered from a number of different aspects. As a field of study, particularly, the study of the interactions between the components of biological systems, and how these interactions give rise to the function and behavior of that system (for example, the enzymes and metabolites in a metabolic pathway or the heart beats).

  9. User interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface

    The Reactable musical instrument, an example of a tangible user interface. The user interface or human–machine interface is the part of the machine that handles the human–machine interaction. Membrane switches, rubber keypads and touchscreens are examples of the physical part of the Human Machine Interface which we can see and touch. [1]
