  2. Double Asteroid Redirection Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Asteroid...

    The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs). [4] [5] It was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through its transfer of momentum when hitting the asteroid head-on. [6]

  3. Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-ocean_Assessment_and...

    Each DART station consists of a surface buoy and a seafloor bottom pressure recording (BPR) package that detects water pressure changes caused by tsunamis.The surface buoy receives transmitted information from the BPR via an acoustic link and then transmits data to a satellite, which retransmits the data to ground stations for immediate dissemination to NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers, NOAA's ...

  4. Bifurcation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_diagram

    Symmetry breaking in pitchfork bifurcation as the parameter ε is varied. ε = 0 is the case of symmetric pitchfork bifurcation.. In a dynamical system such as ¨ + (;) + =, which is structurally stable when , if a bifurcation diagram is plotted, treating as the bifurcation parameter, but for different values of , the case = is the symmetric pitchfork bifurcation.

  5. Program-specific information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program-specific_information

    The purpose of mentioning but not defining this table in H.222 is that it has reserved program number 0 (zero) in the PAT. The Table ID extension is used to identify the local network together with a directory listing of transport streams. Descriptors are used to list the modulation, source of those streams and programs.

  6. Covariance and contravariance (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    A couple of mainstream languages, Eiffel and Dart [9] allow the parameters of an overriding method to have a more specific type than the method in the superclass (parameter type covariance). Thus, the following Dart code would type check, with putAnimal overriding the method in the base class:

  7. Stochastic simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_simulation

    The fraction of darts falling on the shape gives the ratio of the area of the shape to the area of the square. In fact, it is possible to cast almost any integral problem, or any averaging problem, into this form. It is necessary to have a good way to tell if you're inside the outline, and a good way to figure out how many darts to throw.

  8. Enumerated type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerated_type

    The member type specifier is not valid as a Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) parameter specializer, however. Instead, (eql atom), which is the equivalent to (member atom) may be used (that is, only one member of the set may be specified with an eql type specifier, however, it may be used as a CLOS parameter specializer.) In other words, to ...

  9. Asteroid impact prediction - Wikipedia

    The main service is an impact monitoring system (CLOMON2) of all near-Earth asteroids covering a period until the year 2100. [69] The NEODyS website includes a Risk Page where all NEOs with probabilities of hitting the Earth greater than 10 −11 from now until 2100 are shown in a risk list. In the table of the risk list the NEOs are divided into:
