It’s important for the IT-sector to have good tools available in order to control different kinds of software architectures. Because the development of new software architecture tools is a relatively new subject nowadays, it's important to look at some functions and requirements of such a tool. These important requirements and functionalities are listed below: Support Quality System Design Evaluate an architecture’s effectiveness, quality and completeness Map and verify requirements to arch.

Another kind of bias in statistics does not involve biased samples, but does involve the use of a statistic whose average value differs from the value of the quantity being estimated. Suppose we are trying to estimate the parameter θ using an estimator (that is, some function of the observed data). Then the bias of is defined to be In words, this would be "the expected value of the estimator minus the true value θSee also:

The origin of the Aramaeans is still uncertain, arising from the limited amount of evidence regarding the mention of Aramaeans in Mesopotamian inscriptions. The appearance of the Aramaeans is retraced to two different dates: the 14th and the 12th centuries depending upon the acceptance of some kind of relationship between the Aramaeans and the Ahlamû. Nonetheless, present-day scholarship seems to be agreed upon their Upper Mesopotamian origins. See also:

There are many kinds of EQ. Each has a different pattern of attenuation or boost. A peaking equaliser raises or lowers a range of frequencies around a central point in a bell shape. A peaking equalizer with controls to adjust the level (Gain), bandwidth (Q) and center frequency is called a parametric equalizer. If there is no control for the bandwidth (it is fixed by the designer) then it is called a quasi-parametric ...

A 1969 study [1] by Berlin and Kay, has shown that there are substantial regularities in naming colors across many different languages. In the study, a concept of the following basic color terms has been identified: black, grey, white, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and brown. It is known, however, that there can be also significant differences between naming colors in different languages and cultures. For example, a kind of sea green, ...

If a foreign substance (an antigen) is injected into a vertebrate such as a mouse or a human, some of the immune system's B-cells will turn into plasma cells and start to produce antibodies that bind to that antigen. Each B-cell produces only one kind of antibody, but different B-cells will produce structurally different antibodies that bind to different parts ("epitopes") of the antigen. This natural mixt ...

One of the noted deficiencies of English spelling is a high number of silent letters. Carney distinguishes different kinds of "silent" letter, which present differing degrees of difficulty to readers and writers. Auxiliary letters which constitute digraphs, where 2 letters combine to represent a single phoneme. These may further be categorized as "exocentric" digraphs, where the sound of the digraph is different from that of either of its constituent letters. These are rarely considered "silent". There are exampl ...

Several different notations for the Stirling numbers are in use. Stirling numbers of the first kind are written with a small s, and those of the second kind with a large S: The notation of using brackets and braces, in analogy to the binomial coefficients, was introduced in 1935 by Jovan Karamata and promoted later by Donald Knuth; it ...

Linguistic strings can be made up of phenomena like words, phrases, and sentences, and each seems to have a different kind of meaning. Individual words all by themselves, such as the word "bachelor," have one kind of meaning, because they only seem to refer to some abstract concept. Phrases, such as "the brightest star in the sky", seem to be different from individual words, because they are complex symbols arranged into some order. There is also the meaning of whole sentences, such as "Barry is a bachelor", which is both a complex whole, and seems to ...

The three kinds of cones typically respond most to yellowish-green (long wavelength or L), green (medium or M), and bluish-violet (short or S) light (peak wavelengths of 564 nm, 534 nm, and 420 nm respectively). The difference in the signals received from the three kinds allows the brain to perceive a wide gamut of different colors through the opponent process of color vision. The color yellow, for example, is perceived when the yellowish-green receptor is stimulated slightly more than the green receptor, and the ...

Open files and programs are not automatically locked in UNIX. There are different kinds of file locking mechanisms available in different flavours of UNIX and many operating systems support more than one kind for compatibility. The two most common mechanisms are fcntl and flock. Although some types of locks can be configured to be mandatory, file locks under UNIX are by default advisory. This means that cooperating processes may use locks to coordinate access to a file between themselves, but programs are also free to ignore ...

Anachronism is used especially in works of imagination that rest on a historical basis. Anachronisms may be introduced in many ways, originating, for instance, in disregard of the different modes of life and thought that characterize different periods, or in ignorance of the progress of the arts and sciences and other facts of history. They vary from glaring inconsistencies to scarcely perceptible misrepresentation. It is only since the close of the 18th century that this kind of deviation from historical reality has jarred on a general audi ...

In probability, a subjectivism stands for the view that probabilities are simply degrees-of-belief by rational agents in a certain proposition, and which have no objective reality in and of themselves. For this kind of subjectivist, a phrase having to do with probability simply asserts the degree to which the subjective actor believes their assertion is true or false. As a consequence, a subjectivist has no problem with differing people giving different probabilities to ...
