At these elections, the SSM, although formed barely a month before the elections, had a surprisingly good showing, establishing itself firmly in the center of the democratic bloc of political forces in Serbia.

SSM lends itself particularly well to dealing with complex situations, where those involved lack a common agreement on what constitutes the problem, and that needs to be addressed.

Ministers in the Church of England whose main financial income comes from sources other than their work as clergy may be termed " Self Supporting Ministers " or " Curate ( SSM )".

The liquid water path can be approximately retrieved from passive and active remote sensing such as microwave radiometer instruments, for example SSM / I.

* SSM ( band ), garage-punk band from Detroit, Michigan

Along with its predecessor SMMR, the SSM / I contributes to an archive of global passive microwave products from late 1978 to present.

Accurate and quantitative measurement of these parameters from the SSM / I TBs is, however, a non-trivial task.

SSM was developed from 1966 by a team of academics from the University of Lancaster led by Prof Gwilym Jenkins, and resulted from their attempts to tackle management problem situations using a systems engineering approach.

SSM has received its fame and recognition through the work of Prof Peter Checkland who joined the team in 1969 appointed as the new Professor of “ Commercial ” systems and Dr Brian Wilson who had joined in 1966 and ran the action research programme through the University's consulting arm ' ISCOL ' from 1970.

Originally named “ Cardinal Glennon Memorial Hospital for Children ” after John Cardinal Glennon, the Archbishop of St. Louis from 1903 to 1946, SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center first opened its doors in July 1956.

A surface-to-surface missile ( SSM ) or ground-to-ground missile ( GGM or GTGM ) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea.

Source-specific multicast ( SSM ) is a method of delivering multicast packets in which the only packets that are delivered to a receiver are those originating from a specific source address requested by the receiver.

In the SSM service model, in addition to the receiver expressing interest in traffic to a multicast address, the receiver expresses interest in receiving traffic from only one specific source sending to that multicast address.

SSM does not differentiate between ‘ soft ’ and ‘ hard ’ problems, it merely provides a different way of dealing with situations perceived as problematic.

He is the developer of soft systems methodology ( SSM ): a methodology based on a way of systems thinking.

The SSM / I has been a very successful instrument, superseding the across-track and Dicke radiometer designs of previous systems.

Soft systems methodology ( SSM ) is a systemic approach for tackling real-world problematic situations.

SSM has been used extensively in Information Systems Analysis and Design and some information systems textbooks treat SSM purely as a systems analysis and design method ( see Curtis ).

Checkland and Holwell use SSM at the front end of an information systems design project.

Cardinal Glennon is a member of SSM Health Care, one of the largest Catholic health care systems in the country.

Conceptual models of human activity systems are used in Soft systems methodology ( SSM ) which is a method of systems analysis concerned with the structuring of problems in management.

In 2007 the Land Forces consisted of 29, 600 soldiers ( 6th Guards Mechanised Brigade ( Grodno ), 11th Guards Mechanised Brigade ( Slonim, the former 11th Guards Tank Division ) the 120th Guards Mechanised Brigade ( Minsk ), 38th and 103rd Mobile Brigades ( organized similarly to Soviet airborne regiments, not all of them are equipped with BMD-1 ), 5th Separate Spetznaz Brigade ( Maryina Horka ), five artillery brigades and four regiments, two MRL regiments, 15th, 29th, 115th, 120th and 302nd SAM Brigades, two SSM brigades, two brigades and one regiment of engineers, 8th NBC independent brigade, two signals brigades, 40th independent NBC battalion.

The MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System ( ATacMS ) is a surface-to-surface missile ( SSM ), range over, with solid propellant, 13 feet height and 24 inches diameter, manufactured by Lockheed Martin.

Sony announced a program in 2008 to fit more future lenses with SSM and these designs may, therefore, not be compatible with 1985 – 1999 SLR bodies.

At this moment, SSM is in coalition with Tomislav Nikolic's party, forming an opposition bloc for the next elections.

However, a cavalry SSM is often addressed as " Mr ( surname )" by officers, and as " Mr ( surname ), Sir " by his subordinates, with the salutation " Sergeant Major " being reserved for Staff Sergeants.

Marie Railroad ( MStP & SSM ), which was commonly known as the Soo Line after the phonetic spelling of Sault, it was formed in 1961 by the consolidation of that company with two other CP subsidiaries, the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad and Wisconsin Central Railroad.

It is a common misunderstanding that SSM is a methodology for dealing solely with ‘ soft problems ’ ( i. e., problems which involve psychological, social, and cultural elements ).

However, a connection with logic has been challenged and it has been argued that SSM conceptual models are not “ logical ” in any sense of the word.

SSM was used to develop a reference model relevant to protective services which, together with information categories for each of the SSM activities and conceptual measures of performance, was used to analyse the efficacy of Micro-Analysis by comparing and contrasting information content.

The QAMR Guidon is carried by the Squadron Sergeant Major ( SSM ), with an escort of two Senior Non Commissioned Officers ( SNCO ).

As the risk of spread varies with the thickness, early SSM is more frequently cured than late nodular melanoma.

The Sejil is a two-stage, solid-propellant, surface-to-surface missile ( SSM ) produced by Iran with a reported 1, 930 km ( 1, 200 mi ) range.

Superficial spreading melanoma ( SSM ) and nodular melanoma are the most frequently encountered histological melanoma subtypes in patients with CDKN2A mutations, which is consistent with the relative early age of onset.

In contrast, SSM treats the notion of system as an epistemological rather than ontological entity, i. e., as a mental construct used for human understanding.

The special sensor microwave / imager ( SSM / I ) is a seven-channel, four-frequency, linearly polarized passive microwave radiometer system.

SSM has been characterized as a learning system, part of a new paradigm for Operational Research and as a front-end for information system design.

SSM functions as a learning system because it facilitates a greater understanding of the problem situation on the part of those concerned.

The uses of SSM in information system design are many and varied.

While this obviates some of the theoretical problems found in IRA, it loses some of the advantages of traditional SSM and opens up a set of problems found in other information system design methods

They are also used in Information Requirements Analysis ( IRA ) which is a variant of SSM developed for information system design and software engineering.

SSM requires support in last-hop routers and in the receiver's operating system.
