91Community-based participatory research — (CBPR) is research that is conducted as an equal partnership between traditionally trained experts and members of a community. In CBPR projects, the community participates fully in all aspects of the research process. CBPR projects start with the …
92Cushioning — Package cushioning is used to help protect fragile items during shipment. It is common for a transport package to be dropped, kicked, and impacted: These events may produce potentially damaging shocks. Transportation vibration from conveyors,… …
93Dynamic relaxation — is a numerical method, which, among other things, can be used do form finding for cable and fabric structures. The aim is to find a geometry where all forces are in equilibrium. In the past this was done by direct modelling, using hanging chains… …
94Organizational information theory — Based on the work of Karl Weick, Organizational Information Theory builds upon general systems theory, and focuses on the complexity of information management within an organization. The theory addresses how organizations reduce equivocally, or… …
95Nusselt number — In heat transfer at a boundary (surface) within a fluid, the Nusselt number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across (normal to) the boundary. Named after Wilhelm Nusselt, it is a dimensionless number. The conductive… …

97Corner transfer matrix — In statistical mechanics, the corner transfer matrix describes the effect of adding a quadrant to a lattice. Introduced by Rodney Baxter in 1968 as an extension of the Kramers Wannier row to row transfer matrix, it provides a powerful method of… …
98Numerical renormalization group — The Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) is a technique devised by Kenneth Wilson to solve certain many body problems where quantum impurity physics plays a key role. It is an inherently non perturbative procedure, which was originally used to… …
99Polish notation — Polish notation, also known as prefix notation, is a form of notation for logic, arithmetic, and algebra. Its distinguishing feature is that it places operators to the left of their operands. If the arity of the operators is fixed, the result is… …
100Instructional design — is the practice of creating instructional tools and content to help facilitate learning most effectively. The process consists broadly of determining the current state and needs of the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating… …
