Signal processing techniques include moving target indication, Pulse-Doppler signal processing, moving target detection processors, correlation with secondary surveillance radar targets, space-time adaptive processing, and track-before-detect.

In the summer of 2010, the " First Light Adaptive Optics " ( FLAO )-an adaptive optics system with a deformable secondary mirror rather than correcting atmospheric distortion further downstream in the optics-was inaugurated.

* The VLT telescope adaptive secondary mirror

The design comprises a reflecting telescope with a 39. 3 metre diameter primary mirror, a 4. 2 m diameter secondary mirror, and will be supported by adaptive optics and multiple instruments.

Their hypothesis predicts that: ( 1 ) anatomic position of endorphin production should mirror its presumed role in foetal-maternal conflict ; ( 2 ) endorphin levels should co-vary positively with nutrient carrying capacity of maternal blood system ; ( 3 ) postpartum psychological symptoms ( such as postpartum blues, depression, and psychosis ) in humans are side-effects of this mechanism that can be interpreted as endorphin-deprivation symptoms ; ( 4 ) shortly after parturition, placentophagy could play an adaptive role in decreasing the negative side-effects of foetal manipulation ; ( 5 ) later, breast-feeding-induced endorphin excretion of the maternal pituitary saves mother from further deprivation symptoms.

Active optics should not be confused with adaptive optics, which operates on a much shorter timescale to compensate for atmospheric effects, rather than for mirror deformation.

By measuring the observed motion of the guide star, and making minute distortions to the primary mirror, the telescope can produce images with much greater sharpness than is possible without adaptive optics.

Research is under way to create an adaptive optics shape-shifting magnetic mirror from ferrofluid for Earth-based astronomical telescopes.

Currently, the SST is operating with an adaptive optics system with a 37-actuator deformable mirror from AOPTIX, although upgrades are underway.

The basic assumption of Rational Analysis is that cognition is optimally adaptive, and precise estimates of cognitive functions mirror statistical properties of the environment.

Note that the NTT has active instead of adaptive optics: it corrects the defects and deformation of the telescope and mirror, but does not correct the turbulence ; it ensures that the optics is always in perfect shape.

Inside the main restaurant is a marble and mirror backbar which was saved from the Denver Union Station, one of the picnic pavilions is created from a retired center column of a ride, and the pool for the current Skoota Boats ride is an adaptive reuse of the original Shoot-the-Chutes ride.

AEOS is equipped with an adaptive optics system, the heart of which is a 941-actuator deformable mirror that can change its shape to remove the atmosphere's distorting effects.

( Unless in case of a phase conjugated mirror or if there is some sort of adaptive optics that is matched to the system, and this is only possible if the light is reasonably temporally coherent.

The telescope underwent a Phase B study in the past couple of years that included " contracts with industry to design and manufacture prototypes of key elements like the primary mirror segments, the adaptive fourth mirror or the mechanical structure (...) concept studies for eight instruments .”

Assistive technology or adaptive technology ( AT ) is an umbrella term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and also includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them.

Assistive technology may be used in adaptive sports, where an existing sport is modified to enable players with a disability to participate ; or, assistive technology may be used to invent completely new sports with athletes with disabilities exclusively in mind.

In evolutionary biology, adaptive radiation is the evolution of ecological and phenotypic diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage.

An immunogen is a substance that is able to provoke an adaptive immune response if injected on its own.

One simple version of adaptive expectations is stated in the following equation, where is the next year's rate of inflation that is currently expected ; is this year's rate of inflation that was expected last year ; and is this year's actual rate of inflation:

This has largely replaced adaptive expectations in macroeconomic theory since its assumption of optimality of expectations is consistent with economic theory.

A common adaptive method is recursive subdivision, in which a curve's control points are checked to see if the curve approximates a line segment to within a small tolerance.

If evolutionary processes are blind to the difference between function F being performed by conscious organism O and non-conscious organism O *, it is unclear what adaptive advantage consciousness could provide.

Mainstream CBT helps individuals replace " maladaptive ... coping skills, cognitions, emotions and behaviors with more adaptive ones ", by challenging an individual's way of thinking and the way that he / she reacts to certain habits or behaviors, but there is still controversy about the degree to which these traditional cognitive elements account for the effects seen with CBT over and above the earlier behavioral elements such as exposure and skills training.

Their high risk / high payoff technology is aimed at solving the national level problems of protection from biological, chemical and information attack and to provide operational dominance for mobile distributed command and control, combined manned / unmanned warfare, and dynamic, adaptive military planning and execution.

Their research is based on the hypothesis that language is a complex adaptive system that emerges through adaptive interactions between agents and continues to evolve in order to remain adapted to the needs and capabilities of the agents.

This format is an adaptive Lempel-Ziv-Welch coding ( LZW ).').

Information theory is closely associated with a collection of pure and applied disciplines that have been investigated and reduced to engineering practice under a variety of rubrics throughout the world over the past half century or more: adaptive systems, anticipatory systems, artificial intelligence, complex systems, complexity science, cybernetics, informatics, machine learning, along with systems sciences of many descriptions.

If pathogens successfully evade the innate response, vertebrates possess a second layer of protection, the adaptive immune system, which is activated by the innate response.

This improved response is then retained after the pathogen has been eliminated, in the form of an immunological memory, and allows the adaptive immune system to mount faster and stronger attacks each time this pathogen is encountered.

: The group is a place where members can help each other, and the experience of being able to give something to another person can lift the member's self esteem and help develop more adaptive coping styles and interpersonal skills.

Some of the adaptive solutions are to compensate for the disadvantages of being 70, 000 light years from port, such as the airponics bay and the transformation of the Captain's dining room to a kitchen, and later acquires enhancements from aliens in the Void that massively increases replicator efficiency.

Besides their highly adaptive foraging behavior and fast reproduction, the exact mechanisms for their rebound is unclear and are still being studied.

From this view, rather than concepts such as assertiveness, aggression, violence and criminal violence existing as distinct constructs, they exist instead along a continuum with moderate levels of aggression being most adaptive.

One of the " adaptive problems faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors ," particularly females, was being abducted by another band.

The creative processes being highly fuzzy, the programming of cooperative tools for creativity and innovation should be adaptive and flexible.

However, the lack of an adaptive immune system and their simple organs prevent worms from being used in particular aspects of medical research such as vaccine development.

They can, at the same time, be flexible and adaptive thanks to their capacity to decentralize performance along a network of autonomous components, while still being able to coordinate all this decentralized activity on a shared purpose of decision making.

In 1989 he created the first learning algorithm for neural networks based on principles of the market economy ( inspired by John Holland's bucket brigade algorithm for classifier systems ): adaptive neurons compete for being active in response to certain input patterns ; those that are active when there is external reward get stronger synapses, but active neurons have to pay those that activated them, by transferring parts of their synapse strengths, thus rewarding " hidden " neurons setting the stage for later success.

Merlin Donald argues that over evolutionary time the mind has gained adaptive advantage from being a general problem solver.

Wallace more speculatively argued that the bright colors and long tails of the peacock were not adaptive in any way, and that bright coloration could result from non-adaptive physiological development ( for example, the internal organs of animals, not being subject to a visual form of natural selection, come in a wide variety of bright colors ).

This makes instruments like high resolution spectographs and adaptive optics systems much more difficult to construct, due to the requirement of them being Cassegrain instruments.

This includes as new features compared to the previous facelift the option for DCC ( Volkswagen's adaptive suspension system ), Light-Assist for Xenon Headlights, an improved Park-Assist System being able to handle also perpendicular park positions ( illustrated in the second part of this video ) and updated infotainment systems.

First steps towards adaptive and self-organising computer systems are already being undertaken.

The main metaphorical treatment is of a geographical landscape, upon which evolution can only ascend in a gradual way, not being able to climb cliffs ( this is known as an adaptive landscape ).

Often, deriving actively adaptive policies is technically very difficult, which prevents it being more commonly applied.

Although extremely effective and adaptive, Sixes always show certain disdain for their given chores and dislike being treated as expendable.

This adaptive mechanism is beneficial, because it diminishes the amount of blood that passes the lung without being oxygenated.

Compression techniques ( e. g. multipole expansions or adaptive cross approximation / hierarchical matrices ) can be used to ameliorate these problems, though at the cost of added complexity and with a success-rate that depends heavily on the nature of the problem being solved and the geometry involved.

PCT proposes that conflict occurs between disparate reference values for a given perception rather than between different responses ( Mansell 2011 ), and that learning is implemented as trial-and-error changes of the properties of control systems ( Marken & Powers 1989 ), rather than any specific response being ‘‘ reinforced .’’ In this way, behavior remains adaptive to the environment as it unfolds, rather than relying on learned action patterns that may not fit.

Another advantage of being constructed on stumps is that the buildings are highly adaptive.

With only 550 units being produced, the Limited Edition features all-wheel drive, an exclusive Iridium Blue exterior color, 21-inch 10-spoke graphite-finish aluminum turbine wheels, V-rated all-season tires, Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System, Around View Monitor, dark tinted adaptive headlamps, and dark tinted side air vents and lower door trim.

These additions ( nudity, profanity, explicit drug use, explicit violence ) are only rarely a featured adaptive addition ( film versions of " procedurals " such as Miami Vice are most inclined to such additions as featured adaptations )-South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is a notable example of a film being more explicit than its parent TV series.
