CRITICAL DOMAIN [7 records]

Record 1 2026-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Conduct of Military Operations
  • Naval Forces
  • Safety (Water Transport)
  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

... developing human skills and systems’ detection capabilities in the maritime domain are a critical element to effectively manage the cyber risks related to different types of ships and/or maritime infrastructures. Such capabilities can greatly contribute to developing a maritime cyber situational awareness, which can promote the maritime domain key mission objectives, such as maintaining preparedness, safety, and security.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conduite générale des opérations militaires
  • Forces navales
  • Sécurité (Transport par eau)
  • Internet et télématique
CONT

La détection et la réaction en temps utile à une cyberattaque visant un navire, en particulier au milieu de l'océan, nécessitent des processus de connaissance de la situation efficaces et spécifiques. L'étape la plus importante pour assurer la sécurité maritime et accroître l'efficacité de la planification et de la conduite des opérations est l'amélioration de la connaissance de la situation cybermaritime. L'objectif de cette stratégie est de comprendre efficacement ce qui se passe dans l'environnement maritime et qui pourrait avoir un impact sur la sécurité.

Record 2 2022-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Defence Planning and Military Doctrine
  • Air Forces
DEF

... the development and maintenance of a comprehensive knowledge of the location and nature of objects in Earth orbit.

CONT

Space domain awareness contributes to a safer and more secure space environment by increasing awareness of where objects are located in space, thereby reducing the risk of loss of critical space capabilities for all.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Doctrine militaire et planification de défense
  • Forces aériennes
CONT

La connaissance du domaine spatial contribue à un milieu spatial plus sûr et plus sûr en faisant mieux connaître l'emplacement des objets dans l'espace, ce qui réduit le risque de perte de capacités spatiales essentielles pour tous.

Record 4 2011-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
CONT

Optimal application of protein engineering technology will require understanding how the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain specifies its spatial conformation. It is now clear that polypeptide chain folding and subunit assembly proceeds through sequential pathways involving defined intermediates. The critical amino acid instructions directing these pathways appear to be dispersed through the sequence... Very similar patterns of chain folding and domain structure can arise from different amino acid sequences that show little or no homology. The immunoglobulins are a prime example of conservation of structure despite extensive differences in amino acid sequence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

La structure tertiaire est due aux repliements des chaînes polypeptidiques, conférant à la molécule protéinique la forme globuleuse. (...) Les protéines contiennent des régions formées d'hélices [alpha], des feuillets [bêta], des régions sans structure rigide, des repliements souvent dus à la présence de proline. (...) Un aspect particulièrement critique de l'enroulement des chaînes polypeptidiques en leur conformation native est la très grande vitesse à laquelle elle se produit biologiquement.

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
DEF

Any emission whose fractional bandwidth is greater than 0.25 regardless of the center frequency or the signal time-bandwidth product.

CONT

The main concern regarding UWB emissions is the potential interference that they could cause to the "incumbents" in the frequency domain as well as to specific critical wireless systems that provide an important public service...

Key term(s)
  • ultra wideband emission
  • ultrawideband emission

Record 6 1994-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

To become applicable, most didactic strategies must be combined with the constraints provided by the structure of the domain and with the resources provided by the model of expertise. In general, the problem of merging didactic and domain knowledge dynamically-a theme of further work on MENO-TUTOR(Woolf and McDonald, 1984a)-can be quite complex. The resulting articulation is critical to pretting curriculum decisions and explanation generation under the system's control.

CONT

Separating the domain knowledge base from the teaching knowledge provides tremendous engineering efficiency, allowing the teaching knowledge to be more clearly formalized, evaluated, and reused.

CONT

... the ADVISOR must monitor a user’s interaction with the system, attempt to identify user goals and offer, as appropriate, advice based on the user’s goals and common design strategies as defined in the domain knowledge base.

OBS

The structure of the domain in the database can be frame-based, rule-based, script-based or take the form of semantic nets, didactic plans, bites, or genetic graphs.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

An important concept for the design of diagnostic tests is that of a primitive subskill. This concept is also critical for curriculum construction, especially if the process is automated as in BIP. For a given domain the exact set of these subskills can be extremely difficult to define. Equipped with the tools of the BUGGY model, Burton(1982) suggests that a partition of the theory of bugs be used to define a primitive subskill as "any isolatable part of the skill that it is possible to mislearn"(p. 177). More formally, the set of all observable bugs is partitioned under the equivalence relation of giving wrong answers on the same problems, considering all possible problems. Then a primitive subskill is an equivalence class in this partition; in other words, it is a part of the skill that corresponds to bugs manifesting in exactly the same problems. In practice, one need only consider a finite number of problems.
