  2. Kohs block design test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohs_block_design_test

    The Kohs Block test, also known as the Kohs Block Design Test, [2] is a performance test designed to be an IQ test. The test taker must, using 16 colored cubes, replicate the patterns displayed on a series of test cards. The design of the test was motivated by a belief that the test could easily be administered to persons with language or ...

  3. Basic block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_block

    Note that this method does not always generate maximal basic blocks, by the formal definition, but they are usually sufficient (maximal basic blocks are basic blocks that cannot be extended by including adjacent blocks without violating the definition of a basic block [6]). Input: A sequence of instructions (mostly three-address code). [7]

  4. Corsi block-tapping test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi_block-tapping_test

    The Corsi block-tapping test is a psychological test that assesses visuo-spatial short term working memory. It involves mimicking a researcher as they tap a sequence of up to nine identical spatially separated blocks. The sequence starts out simple, usually using two blocks, but becomes more complex until the subject's performance suffers.

  5. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Most computer, logic-test and fault-tree simulations are of this type. In this type of simulation, the simulator maintains a queue of events sorted by the simulated time they should occur. The simulator reads the queue and triggers new events as each event is processed. It is not important to execute the simulation in real time.

  6. Command–query separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command–query_separation

    Command-query separation (CQS) is a principle of imperative computer programming. It was devised by Bertrand Meyer as part of his pioneering work on the Eiffel programming language . It states that every method should either be a command that performs an action, or a query that returns data to the caller, but not both.

  7. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    A block diagram of a PID controller in a feedback loop. r ( t ) is the desired process variable (PV) or setpoint (SP), and y ( t ) is the measured PV. The distinguishing feature of the PID controller is the ability to use the three control terms of proportional, integral and derivative influence on the controller output to apply accurate and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET

    In October 1963, Licklider was appointed head of the Behavioral Sciences and Command and Control programs at the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). He convinced Ivan Sutherland and Bob Taylor that this network concept was very important and merited development, although Licklider left ARPA before any contracts were ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-terrorism

    Eco-terrorism is an act of violence which is committed in support of environmental causes, against people or property. [1] [2]The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines eco-terrorism as "...the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or their property by an environmentally oriented, subnational group for environmental-political ...
