61physical science, principles of — Introduction the procedures and concepts employed by those who study the inorganic world. physical science, like all the natural sciences, is concerned with describing and relating to one another those experiences of the surrounding… …
62Electrical network — For electrical power transmission grids and distribution networks, see Grid (electricity). A simple electric circuit made up of a voltage source and a resistor. Here, V = iR, according to Ohm s Law. An electrical network is an interconnection of… …
63Adaptive control — involves modifying the control law used by a controller to cope with the fact that the parameters of the system being controlled are slowly time varying or uncertain. For example, as an aircraft flies, its mass will slowly decrease as a result of …
64Polynomial and rational function modeling — In statistical modeling (especially process modeling), polynomial functions and rational functions are sometimes used as an empirical technique for curve fitting.Polynomial function modelsA polynomial function is one that has the form:y = a… …
65General relativity — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to general relativity. General relativity Introduction Mathematical formulation Resources …
66Monte Carlo method — Not to be confused with Monte Carlo algorithm. Computational physics …
67Bayesian experimental design — provides a general probability theoretical framework from which other theories on experimental design can be derived. It is based on Bayesian inference to interpret the observations/data acquired during the experiment. This allows accounting for… …
68Robust regression — In robust statistics, robust regression is a form of regression analysis designed to circumvent some limitations of traditional parametric and non parametric methods. Regression analysis seeks to find the effect of one or more independent… …
69Scalar field theory — In theoretical physics, scalar field theory can refer to a classical or quantum theory of scalar fields. A field which is invariant under any Lorentz transformation is called a scalar , in contrast to a vector or tensor field. The quanta of the… …
70Viscoplasticity — Figure 1. Elements used in one dimensional models of viscoplastic materials. Viscoplasticity is a theory in continuum mechanics that describes the rate dependent inelastic behavior of solids. Rate dependence in this context means that the… …
