THEORY PRINCIPLE [31 fiches]

Fiche 1 2023-10-17

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Relativity (Physics)
  • Mathematics
DEF

The geometric theory of gravitation developed by Albert Einstein, incorporating and extending the theory of special relativity to accelerated frames of reference and introducing the principle that gravity is a consequence of matter causing a curvature in spacetime.

CONT

The central idea of general relativity is that space and time are two aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved when there is gravity, matter, energy, and momentum.

DEF

Théorie géométrique de la gravitation formulée par Albert Einstein qui incorpore et applique la théorie de la relavité spéciale à des cadres de référence accélérés, de même qu'introduit la notion voulant que la gravité est une conséquence de la matière courbant l'espace-temps.

CONT

Selon la relativité générale, l'attraction gravitationnelle que l'on observe entre les masses est provoquée par une déformation de l'espace et du temps par ces masses.

The correspondence principle implies that any new theory in physics must reduce to preceding theories that have been proven to be valid. For example, Einstein's special theory of relativity satisfies the correspondence principle since it reduces to classical mechanics for velocities small compared with the velocity of light.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Experimental Psychology

CONT

The Premack Principle suggests that the opportunity to engage in high probability behaviours can be used to reinforce the performance of low probability behaviours. Molar equilibrium theory extends this notion to suggest that, in effect, the opportunity to engage in any behaviour shown by the organism under a free-operant baseline can be used to reinforce or punish the performance of any other behaviour.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Prior to("Quia Emptores") the number of subtenures had greatly increased by the process of subinfeudation. By this process a tenant, instead of alienating his land outright for a capital sum, created a new tenurial relationship between himself and another whereby the other person became his tenant of the land in return for a perpetual grant or service. The new tenant might create a further subtenure and in theory the process could go on "ad infinitum". "Quia Emptores" accomplished two important objectives. In the first place it abolished alienation by subinfeudation and secondly, it endorsed the principle of alienation by substitution.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 23)

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Wind Energy
CONT

To facilitate inclusion of atmospheric stability classification in the wake meandering modeling, we fit the Mann spectral tensor model to stable and unstable atmospheric stratification. The Mann model adapts well to the observations in all stability classes, although the model was developed for neutral conditions only.

OBS

The Mann spectral method combines rapid distortion theory, an assumed linear mean wind shear, the Von Kármán spectral tensor and a model for eddy lifetime, and it is restricted to homogeneous Gaussian turbulence fields. Although the spectral tensor in principle contains the same information as the cross spectra, the tensor formulation leads to considerable simpler and faster simulations of turbulence than the cross spectra based methods. This type of synthetic turbulence field generation will therefore still be used for simulating the ambient turbulence field as well as the large scale turbulence field applied for the description of the meandering process.

  • Énergie éolienne
CONT

Des modélisations plus complexes de la turbulence ont depuis été élaborées. En particulier, Jacob Mann (RISO Danish National Laboratory) a développé le modèle de tenseur spectral de Mann […] Dans ce cas, le champ de turbulence vu par l’éolienne est assimilé à un champ vertical dépendant du temps, initialement isotrope et homogène. Ce champ devient progressivement anisotrope en se déformant par cisaillement sur une période de temps T, dont l’effet est estimé par linéarisation des équations de Navier-Stokes (principe de la Rapid Distorsion Theory). Le degré de complexité suivant réside dans la prise en compte de la non-homogénéité de la composante verticale.

Fiche 14 1998-08-12

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
CONT

N. Chomsky describes his pursuit in theoretical terms as a search for universal grammar(or U. G.) U. G. is genetically determined at its initial state(in the organism) and is specified, sharpened, articulated, and refines under conditions set by experience, to yield the particular grammars found in specific groups of individuals(1980, p. 234). A theory of universal grammar is said to be an explanatory theory. To know a language is to be in a certain state of mind/brain : this state is described by a core grammar which consists of certain principles of universal grammar, which are to be discovered by linguists. Thus, Chomsky takes a purely realistic stance : language knowledge is a series of states in the brain... Now he has come to the conclusion that it is more productive to speak of various principles that govern language use. These principles begin in human biology. They determine the kinds of grammar that are available in principle(Chomsky 1979). The principles of U. G. are various subsystems, which go by names like binding theory, control theory, government, theta theory, and the like-each of which features a limited degree of parametric variation.

Fiche 16 1996-05-13

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Radiation Protection
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

Biological effects of ionizing radiation. ... at the upper end of the scale, there is no radiation exposure so high it will guarantee that every exposed individual will suffer the effect. Nor at the lower end is any exposure so low that it will carry no risk to anyone of inducing the effect. These radiation effects are therefore said to have "no threshold." Logically, it follows that any exposure to radiation, no matter how small, carries some risk and that any reduction in exposure, even from an already very low level, confers some benefit. However, it is not always appreciated that the absence of a "safe" threshold is a theoretical assumption and a safety precaution rather than something that can be proven. It is also not well understood that the toxic effects of radiation, for which there is no defined safe level, may not differ fundamentally from those of some chemical toxins for which a "safe" level in the body or in the environment has been declared.

CONT

Complicating the problem of public perceptions of the level of risk associated with radioactive wastes is the confusion induced by two fundamental principles of radio-biological and radiation protection theory. The first is the "no-threshold" hypothesis, and the second is the "as low as reasonably achievable, "or ALARA, principle. The first principle holds that there is no threshold below which exposure to radiation is entirely safe. The "no threshold" hypothesis-that any exposure to ionizing radiation, no matter how small, will increase the probability of a harmful consequence to an exposed individual-is an important scientific concept.... it is generally agreed that it is wise to err on the side of safety and work from the assumption that there is no safe level.

Fiche 17 1995-03-14

Anglais

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

In epistemic diagnosis by direct assignment of credit or blame, a modeling method for extracting information from behavior that follows observable behavior.

CONT

The idea behind model tracing is to create a close correspondence between units of the internal model and single steps of observable behavior. The required tuning of granularity can affect the design of the interface as well as that of the internal model. In ACT theory, knowledge compilation transforms declarative knowledge into a rule format that is directly usable for performance. As a consequence, compiled problem-solving knowledge, though it is a form of knowledge, maps directly onto behavior, unlike a concept or a principle, which must be interpreted before it can manifest itself in behavior. Thus knowledge compilation is really the core principle of the model-tracing paradigm. It can summarize claims of reasoning of arbitrary complexity as more coarsely grained rules. Model tracing is, in this sense, at the border between behavioral and epistemic diagnosis.

CONT

The model-tracing method operates in the context of intelligent tutoring systems which monitor students’ problem-solving activity. In that context, the diagnostic component need not compute the student’s solution path, because it can observe what the student does, step by step.
