Adaptive management

Two ecologists at The University of British Columbia, C.S. Holling (1978) and C.J Walters (1986) further developed the adaptive management approach as they distinguished between passive and active adaptive management practice.

Automatic message exchange

Automatic message exchange (AME): In an adaptive high-frequency (HF) radio network, an automated process allowing the transfer of a message from message injection to addressee reception, without human intervention.

Back closure

; Special needs : Adaptive garments designed for those with physical disabilities (such as arthritis) often open at the rear so that they can be put on without having to bend the arms backwards.

Beneficial acclimation hypothesis

First formally defined and tested by Armand Marie Leroi, Albert Bennett, and Richard Lenski in 1994, it has however been a central assumption in historical physiological work that acclimation is adaptive.

Cognitive bias

Alternatively, critics of Kahneman and Tversky such as Gerd Gigerenzer argue that heuristics should not lead us to conceive of human thinking as riddled with irrational cognitive biases, but rather to conceive rationality as an adaptive tool that is not identical to the rules of formal logic or the probability calculus.

Colorado Ballet

Be Beautiful Be Yourself - Based on Boston Ballet’s “Adaptive Dance” program and supported by the Anna and John J. Sie Center for Down Syndrome at Children’s Hospital Colorado and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Dance program provides 10 weekly dance classes to ten 5-9 year-old-children with Down syndrome.

Continuous mandatory ventilation

They are known by various vendor-specific terms such as pressure-regulated volume control (Siemens), autoflow (Dräger), adaptive-pressure ventilation (Hamilton Medical), volume-control plus (Covidien), among others.

Disabled Sports USA

The Diana Golden Opportunities Fund is an endowment that supports and encourages junior athletes with disabilities in their pursuit of excellence in skiing by providing scholarships for purchasing equipment or participating in an adaptive race or development camp.

Emotional selection

If schema accommodations performed during prior non-REM dreams alleviate anxiety, frustration, sadness, or in other ways appear emotionally adaptive during REM dream tests, they would be selected for retention.

Execute in place

The storage must provide a similar interface to the CPU as regular memory (or an adaptive layer must be present),

FlexRay

The first series production vehicle with FlexRay was at the end of 2006 in the BMW X5, enabling a new and fast adaptive damping system.

High-motion

The effects of high motion can be reduced or negated by converter lag when NTSC video is converted to PAL, or vice versa (a particular problem for coverage of international sporting events such as the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup, for example); however, more recent motion adaptive converters can minimize this.

Kuka Kanyini

In some of the most remote regions of Central Australia, Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara people manage their land and wildlife resources using a method that is loosely based on adaptive management plans which, in turn, are based on the Kuka Kanyini.

Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy

Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy ("LEACH") is a TDMA-based MAC protocol which is integrated with clustering and a simple routing protocol in wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Massimiliano Versace

His Synchonous Matching Adaptive Resonance Theory (SMART) model shows spiking laminar cortical circuits self-organize and stably learn relevant information, and how these circuits be embedded in low-power, memristor based hybrid CMOS chip and used to solve challenging pattern recognition problems.

Maui Cluster Scheduler

Its development was made possible by the support of Cluster Resources, Inc. (now Adaptive Computing) and the contributions of many individuals and sites including the U.S. Department of Energy, PNNL, the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of Utah (CHPC), Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), University of Southern California (USC), SDSC, MHPCC, BYU, NCSA, and many others.

Max Planck Institute for Human Development

#Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition (Managing Director: Gerd Gigerenzer)

Microphallus

Microphallus pseudopygmaeus chemically castrates (parasitic castration) its host, the snail Onoba aculeus, and causes it to grow larger than normal (it is not clear if this gigantism benefits the host or parasite or if it is a non-adaptive side-effect).

OpenAM

OpenAM has the flexibility to chain methods together along with Adaptive Risk scoring, or to create custom authentication modules based on the JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) open standard.

Paleogene

Birds, which were already well established by the end of the Cretaceous, also experienced an adaptive radiation as they took over the skies left empty by the now extinct Pterosaurs.

Peter G. Gyarmati

In his PhD work – Adaptive Controls in Operating Systems — he proposed the so called ADIOS solution, extension to the System/370 family, with the OS/VS2 software.

Reed Hastings

Hastings left Adaptive Technology in 1991 to found his first company, Pure Software, which produced products to troubleshoot software.

Sebastian Heilmann

With Elizabeth J. Perry he co-edited the volume Mao’s Invisible Hand: The Political Foundations of Adaptive Governance in China (Harvard University Press, 2011).

Shortspine thornyhead

Further, heightened levels of lactate dehydrogenase, specifically the anaerobic isoform- LDH-A in the heart and muscles of S. alascanus, suggests an adaptive mechanism for ATP production during low oxygen availability.

Skyspine

Skyspine's service consists of a REST API, a JSON-based socket protocol, and a series of SDKs which offer environment-adaptive technology selection.
