Cut-through A forwarding switch cut-through technology that adapts its data forwarding process (Cut-through, Fragment-Free, Store & Forward) according to the data error rate within the network
physical education: modified activities that allow a child with a disability to participate in a program with the same or similar objectives as the regular physical education program
Scheduling algorithm whereby a thread's priority is decayed by 1 See also FIFO, round robin, and sporadic
Developing an individual's strengths and conditioning the ability to overcome a disabling condition [Click Here to Return to List]
Each question you ask (say to an oracle) can depend on the answers to the previous questions
Referring to technology and content that adjust to match the individual person and situation
agents dynamically adapt to and learn about their environment They are adaptive to uncertainty and change

(adj ) Taking available information into account For example, an adaptive mesh-generating algorithm generates a finer resolution mesh near to discontinuities such as boundaries and corners An adaptive routing algorithm may send identical messages in different directions at different times depending on the local density information it has on message traffic See also oblivious
A kind of test or exam that offers more elementary questions for a missed question, gradually increasing the questions' difficulty until the test-taker's level of competence in that particular area is established
self help skills the child uses for daily living such as feeding, toileting, dressing
Adaptive training programs adapt themselves to the skill level or preferences of the learner Haven't seen one in over ten years At best, some programs use the pre-test to enable students to "test out" of certain lessons
Suited, given, or tending, to adaptation; characterized by adaptation; capable of adapting
Adaptive means having the ability or tendency to adapt to different situations. Societies need to develop highly adaptive behavioural rules for survival
A branch of artificial intelligence dealing with training using not only the statistical estimation of data, but combining it with specific domain knowledge
An iterative method of decision making in the face of uncertainty that reduces uncertainty by continuous monitoring; used especially in the management of ecosystems etc
An optical system in telescopes that reduces atmospheric distortion by dynamically measuring and correcting wavefront aberrations in real time, often by using a deformable mirror
A collective term for the long-lasting and specific response of lymphocytes to antigens. Requires the MHC, T-cell receptors (TCR) and immunoglobulins (Ig) as well as enzymes with a recombinase activity (for the rearrangements at TCR and Ig gene loci). Present in all vertebrates except jawless fish (see innate immunity)
the evolution of a single ancestor species into several new species within a relatively short period of time and in a certain geographic area The plants and animals of the Galápagos Islands are a result of adaptive radiation, where one plant or one animal species diversified into many species that fill a variety of ecological roles For example, more than a dozen species of finches evolved from a single founding species that colonized the islands from the mainland of South America
the evolution [2: speciation ] of a diverse range of species occupying many habitats and new niches from some single ancestral stock (phyletic line) Lon-term associations (interactions) can produce niche diversification, a frequently observed situation in which actual or potential competitors specialize to use slightly different components of the local environment The one mechanism for this forms the basis of holism described in this book and is the evolution of reduced interactive costs between interactors DARWIN's 14 species of finches [2: ] are an example of this They evolved from a single species of ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch [2: back to human evolution ]; [2: back to Argument ]; [2: back to human evolution introduction ]
(Ticaret) A version of exponential smoothing where the smoothing (alpha) factor is automatically adjusted, or adapted, based on interpretations of observed forecast error
