  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. 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.

  5. Consistency model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model

    One consistency model can be considered stronger than another if it requires all conditions of that model and more. In other words, a model with fewer constraints is considered a weaker consistency model. These models define how the hardware needs to be laid out and at a high-level, how the programmer must code.

  6. Dunning–Kruger effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

    The Dunning–Kruger effect is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. [2] [3] [4] This is often seen as a cognitive bias, i.e. as a systematic tendency to engage in erroneous forms of thinking and judging.

  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.

  9. Weak operator topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_operator_topology

    In functional analysis, the weak operator topology, often abbreviated WOT, [1] is the weakest topology on the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, such that the functional sending an operator to the complex number , is continuous for any vectors and in the Hilbert space.
