Though it is important to note that in Kimball methodology, the bottom-up process is the result of an initial business-oriented Top-down analysis of the relevant business processes to be modelled.

Top-down is a programming style, the mainstay of traditional procedural languages, in which design begins by specifying complex pieces and then dividing them into successively smaller pieces.

" Top-down " ( or " big chunk ") is stereotypically the visionary, or the person who sees the larger picture and overview.

* Top-down approach: This is the direct fall-out of the recursive formulation of any problem.

Top-down approach: This is also known as downward communication.

Top-down parsing is a strategy of analyzing unknown data relationships by hypothesizing general parse tree structures and then considering whether the known fundamental structures are compatible with the hypothesis.

Top-down lithography is the manner in which most integrated circuits are now made.

Top-down management of Drinking Liberally is light ; the only requirements for chapters are:

Top-down control, therefore, refers to situations where the abundance, diversity or biomass of lower trophic levels depends on effects from consumers at higher trophic levels.

Top-down parsers, on the other hand, hypothesize general parse tree structures and then consider whether the known fundamental structures are compatible with the hypothesis.

* Top-down logical data models, on the other hand, are created in an abstract way by getting information from people who know the subject area.

Top-down decision making occurs when leaders of a group make decisions in a way that does not include the participation of all interested stakeholders.

Top-down design has also proven to be robust against business changes.

* ' Top-down ' communication and rule enforcement mechanisms.

Top-down approaches emphasize planning and a complete understanding of the system.

Top-down approaches are implemented by attaching the stubs in place of the module.

Top-down design was promoted in the 1970s by IBM researcher Harlan Mills and Niklaus Wirth.

Top-down methods were favored in software engineering until the late 1980s, and object-oriented programming assisted in demonstrating the idea that both aspects of top-down and bottom-up programming could be utilized.

See Top-down parsing and Bottom-up parsing.

Top-down and bottom-up are two approaches for the manufacture of products.

* Integrated Parallel Bottom-up and Top-down Approach.

* Top-down parsing-Top-down parsing can be viewed as an attempt to find left-most derivations of an input-stream by searching for parse trees using a top-down expansion of the given formal grammar rules.

Top-down view of a DTP dam.

Top-down parsing can be viewed as an attempt to find left-most derivations of an input-stream by searching for parse-trees using a top-down expansion of the given formal grammar rules.

Top-down activity refers to cognitive processes that originate from the frontal lobe and require conscious thought whereas bottom-up activity begins from sensation of stimuli in the environment.

Top-down processes often include attention to emotion and emotion regulation.

I knew that a conversation with the author would not settle such questions, because a man is not the same as his writing: in the last analysis, the questions had to be settled by the work itself.

Let me quote him even more fully, for his analysis is important to my theme.

It is a weakness of Gabriel's analysis that he never seems to realize that his so-called fundamental law had already been cut loose from its foundations when it was adapted to democracy.

Trevelyan accepts Italian nationalism with little analysis, he is unduly critical of papal and French policy, and he is more than generous in assessing British policy.

The research center of the University's School of Business and Public Administration is prepared to undertake the analysis Dr. Ellis has been talking about.

An analysis of the fiscal tax collection year calendars throughout the state indicates that transition may not be as painful as is commonly thought.

Another important source of evidence only recently receiving much attention is the analysis of atmospheric dust for a meteoritic component.

In the last analysis, religion is the means of inducing, formulating, expressing, enhancing, implementing, and perpetuating man's deepest experience -- the religious.

but the subsequent analysis of characteristics is reported only for the de jure population ( or, in some districts, only the de facto population ).

The criterion score used in the statistical analysis is an index of over- or under-achievement.

Tables 1 and 2 present the results of the statistical analysis of the data when compulsivity is used as the descriptive variable.

Finally, information is retrieved from the dictionary as required by stages of the translation process -- the grammatical description for sentence-structure determination, equivalent-choice information for semantic analysis, and target-language equivalents for output construction.

The first stage of translation after glossary lookup is structural analysis of the input text.

From the point of view of syntactic analysis the head word in the statement is the predicator has broken, and from the point of view of meaning it would seem that the trouble centers in the breaking ; ;

Tone analysis will continue to be difficult and unsatisfactory until a more representative selection of systems is familar to every practicing field linguist.

The great majority of present-day linguists fall into one or more of a number of overlapping types: those who are convinced that tone cannot be analysed, those who are personally scared of tone and tone languages generally, those who are convinced that tone is merely an unnecessary marginal feature in those languages where it occurs, those who have no idea how to proceed with tone analysis, those who take a simplistic view of the whole matter.

One issue that must be faced is the relative difficulty of analysis of different phonologic subsystems.

A third explanation is suggested by Richardson's analysis of Sukuma tone.

The difficulty of analysis of any subsystem in the phonology is an inverse function of the size -- smaller systems are more troublesome -- for any given degree of morphophonemic complexity.

The treatment seems unnecessarily loose-jointed and complex, largely because the method is lax and the analysis seems never to be pushed to a satisfactory or even a consistent stopping-point.

Mr. Alexander H. Wheelan's Study Helps In Point And Figure Technique tells the readers: `` We assure you that the total number of people using this method of market analysis is a very small portion of the sum total of those operating in the securities and commodities markets ''.

The threadbare notion that belief, unlike behaviour, is not subject to objective analysis, has placed intuitive metaphysics squarely against the sociology of knowledge, since it is precisely the job of the sociology of knowledge to treat beliefs as social facts no less viable than social behaviour.

It is rather that introducing them into social analysis reflects not so much a search for truth as for certainty.
