AnalyticsAnalytics is the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics. It is used for the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in data. It also entails applying data patterns toward effective decision-making. It can be valuable in areas rich with recorded information; analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming, and operations research to quantify performance. Organizations may apply analytics to business data to describe, predict, and improve business performance.
Process miningProcess mining is a family of techniques relating the fields of data science and process management to support the analysis of operational processes based on event logs. The goal of process mining is to turn event data into insights and actions. Process mining is an integral part of data science, fueled by the availability of event data and the desire to improve processes. Process mining techniques use event data to show what people, machines, and organizations are really doing.
Architecture (informatique)thumb|Exemple de diagramme d'architecture En informatique, architecture désigne la structure générale inhérente à un système informatique, l'organisation des différents éléments du système (logiciels et/ou matériels et/ou humains et/ou informations) et des relations entre les éléments. Cette structure fait suite à un ensemble de décisions stratégiques prises durant la conception de tout ou partie du système informatique, par l'exercice d'une discipline technique et industrielle du secteur de l'informatique dénommée elle aussi architecture, et dont le responsable est l'architecte informatique.
Prescriptive analyticsPrescriptive analytics is a form of business analytics which suggests decision options for how to take advantage of a future opportunity or mitigate a future risk, and shows the implication of each decision option. It enables an enterprise to consider "the best course of action to take" in the light of information derived from descriptive and predictive analytics. Prescriptive analytics is the third and final phase of business analytics, which also includes descriptive and predictive analytics.
Vol suborbitalvignette|Mercury-Redstone est une fusée permettant uniquement d'effectuer des vols suborbitaux à bord de capsule Mercury. Ici, le décollage de la mission Mercury-Redstone 3, avec l'astronaute Alan Shepard. Un vol suborbital est un vol spatial d'un engin spatial se déplaçant dans l'espace à une vitesse suborbitale, inférieure à la vitesse requise pour qu'il se maintienne en orbite. Le premier vol suborbital est effectué le par l'astronaute Alan Shepard lors de la mission Mercury-Redstone 3.
Cartographic designCartographic design or map design is the process of crafting the appearance of a map, applying the principles of design and knowledge of how maps are used to create a map that has both aesthetic appeal and practical function. It shares this dual goal with almost all forms of design; it also shares with other design, especially graphic design, the three skill sets of artistic talent, scientific reasoning, and technology. As a discipline, it integrates design, geography, and geographic information science.
Earth Surface Processes and LandformsEarth Surface Processes and Landforms is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the British Society for Geomorphology. It covers geomorphology and more in general all aspects of Earth sciences dealing with the Earth surface. The journal was established in 1976 as Earth Surface Processes, obtaining its current name in 1981. The journal primarily publishes original research papers.
TectonicsTectonics (; ) are the processes that result in the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time. These processes include those of mountain-building, the growth and behavior of the strong, old cores of continents known as cratons, and the ways in which the relatively rigid plates that constitute the Earth's outer shell interact with each other. Principles of tectonics also provide a framework for understanding the earthquake and volcanic belts that directly affect much of the global population.
Physiographic regionPhysiographic regions are a means of defining Earth's landforms into distinct regions, based upon the classic three-tiered approach by Nevin M. Fenneman in 1916, that separates landforms into physiographic divisions, physiographic provinces, and physiographic sections. Originally used in North America, the model became the basis for similar classifications of other continents, and was still considered valid . During the early 1900s, the study of regional-scale geomorphology was termed "physiography".
Vol spatialLe vol spatial est le mouvement d'un astronef dans et à travers l'espace. Le vol spatial est utilisé dans le cadre de l'exploration spatiale, et dans les activités commerciales liées telles que le tourisme spatial et les satellites de télécommunication. D'autres usages non commerciaux sont également recensés, tels que les télescopes spatiaux et les satellites espions ou ceux d'observation de la planète. Un vol spatial débute par un lancement, procurant la poussée initiale permettant d'outrepasser la force de gravitation et d'arracher le vaisseau de la surface terrestre.
