Prédiction dynamiqueLa prédiction dynamique est une méthode inventée par Newton et Leibniz. Newton l’a appliquée avec succès au mouvement des planètes et de leurs satellites. Depuis elle est devenue la grande méthode de prédiction des mathématiques appliquées. Sa portée est universelle. Tout ce qui est matériel, tout ce qui est en mouvement, peut être étudié avec les outils de la théorie des systèmes dynamiques. Mais il ne faut pas en conclure que pour connaître un système il est nécessaire de connaître sa dynamique.
Spin–lattice relaxationDuring nuclear magnetic resonance observations, spin–lattice relaxation is the mechanism by which the longitudinal component of the total nuclear magnetic moment vector (parallel to the constant magnetic field) exponentially relaxes from a higher energy, non-equilibrium state to thermodynamic equilibrium with its surroundings (the "lattice"). It is characterized by the spin–lattice relaxation time, a time constant known as T1.
Computational statisticsComputational statistics, or statistical computing, is the bond between statistics and computer science. It means statistical methods that are enabled by using computational methods. It is the area of computational science (or scientific computing) specific to the mathematical science of statistics. This area is also developing rapidly, leading to calls that a broader concept of computing should be taught as part of general statistical education.
Spin–spin relaxationIn physics, the spin–spin relaxation is the mechanism by which Mxy, the transverse component of the magnetization vector, exponentially decays towards its equilibrium value in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is characterized by the spin–spin relaxation time, known as T2, a time constant characterizing the signal decay. It is named in contrast to T1, the spin–lattice relaxation time.
