Rate equation — The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with concentrations or pressures of reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).[1] To determine the… … Wikipedia
Step response — The step response of a system in a given initial state consists of the time evolution of its outputs when its control inputs are Heaviside step functions. In electronic engineering and control theory, step response is the time behaviour of the… … Wikipedia
Newton's method — In numerical analysis, Newton s method (also known as the Newton–Raphson method), named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real valued function. The… … Wikipedia
Sample rate conversion — is the process of converting a (usually digital) signal from one sampling rate to another, while changing the information carried by the signal as little as possible. When applied to an image, this process is sometimes called image scaling.Sample … Wikipedia
McCabe-Thiele method — The graphical approach presented by McCabe and Thiele in 1925, the McCabe Thiele method is considered the simplest and perhaps most instructive method for analysis of binary distillation. [cite book|author=McCabe, W. L. and Smith, J.… … Wikipedia
McCabe–Thiele method — The McCabe Thiele method was presented by two graduate students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Warren L. McCabe and Ernest W. Thiele in 1925. The technique is considered to be the simplest and perhaps most instructive method for… … Wikipedia
Steffensen's method — In numerical analysis, Steffensen s method is a root finding method. It is similar to Newton s method and it also achieves quadratic convergence, but it does not use derivatives. The method is named after Johan Frederik Steffensen.imple… … Wikipedia
Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction — (THERP) is a technique used in the field of Human reliability Assessment (HRA), for the purposes of evaluating the probability of a human error occurring throughout the completion of a specific task. From such analyses measures can then be taken… … Wikipedia
Twelve-Step Program — A Twelve Step Program is a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism,[1]… … Wikipedia
