Language delayA language delay is a language disorder in which a child fails to develop language abilities at the usual age-appropriate period in their developmental timetable. It is most commonly seen in children ages two to seven years-old and can continue into adulthood. The reported prevalence of language delay ranges from 2.3 to 19 percent. Language is a uniquely human form of communication that entails the use of words in a standard and structured way. Language is distinct from communication. Communication is a two-stage process.
Signal propagation delayPropagation delay is the time duration taken for a signal to reach its destination. It can relate to networking, electronics or physics. In computer networks, propagation delay is the amount of time it takes for the head of the signal to travel from the sender to the receiver. It can be computed as the ratio between the link length and the propagation speed over the specific medium. Propagation delay is equal to d / s where d is the distance and s is the wave propagation speed. In wireless communication, s=c, i.
Queuing delayIn telecommunication and computer engineering, the queuing delay or queueing delay is the time a job waits in a queue until it can be executed. It is a key component of network delay. In a switched network, queuing delay is the time between the completion of signaling by the call originator and the arrival of a ringing signal at the call receiver. Queuing delay may be caused by delays at the originating switch, intermediate switches, or the call receiver servicing switch.
Speech delaySpeech delay, also known as alalia, refers to a delay in the development or use of the mechanisms that produce speech. Speech – as distinct from language – is the actual process of making sounds, using such organs and structures as the lungs, vocal cords, mouth, tongue, teeth, etc. Language delay refers to a delay in the development or use of the knowledge of language. Because language and speech are two independent stages, they may be individually delayed. For example, a child may be delayed in speech (i.e.
Délai de commutationLe délai de commutation est le temps nécessaire à un commutateur pour recevoir complètement un paquet et le retransmettre sur un système à commutation de paquets en mode différé (ou mode Store and Forward). Le délai de commutation est généralement mesuré en multiples ou en fractions de seconde. Le délai peut différer légèrement, selon l'emplacement de la paire spécifique de points de terminaison de communication.
End-to-end delayEnd-to-end delay or one-way delay (OWD) refers to the time taken for a packet to be transmitted across a network from source to destination. It is a common term in IP network monitoring, and differs from round-trip time (RTT) in that only path in the one direction from source to destination is measured. The ping utility measures the RTT, that is, the time to go and come back to a host. Half the RTT is often used as an approximation of OWD but this assumes that the forward and back paths are the same in terms of congestion, number of hops, or quality of service (QoS).
Dynamique moléculaireLa dynamique moléculaire est une technique de simulation numérique permettant de modéliser l'évolution d'un système de particules au cours du temps. Elle est particulièrement utilisée en sciences des matériaux et pour l'étude des molécules organiques, des protéines, de la matière molle et des macromolécules. En pratique, la dynamique moléculaire consiste à simuler le mouvement d'un ensemble de quelques dizaines à quelques milliers de particules dans un certain environnement (température, pression, champ électromagnétique, conditions aux limites.
Intégrateur symplectiqueUn intégrateur symplectique est une méthode numérique de résolution approchée des équations de la mécanique hamiltonienne, valable pour des faibles variations de temps. Les hypothèses de la mécanique hamiltonienne sont souvent appliquées à la mécanique céleste. Le système à étudier peut s'écrire sous la forme d'une action I et d'un angle φ, de manière que le système différentiel se réduise à : x := (I, φ) et : où l'on a noté : le crochet de Poisson de et . On voudrait connaître la solution formelle au système intégrable .
Child developmentChild development involves the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the conclusion of adolescence. Childhood is divided into three stages of life which include early childhood, middle childhood, and late childhood (preadolescence). Early childhood typically ranges from infancy to the age of 6 years old. During this period, development is significant, as many of life's milestones happen during this time period such as first words, learning to crawl, and learning to walk.
Intégration de VerletLintégration de Verlet est un schéma d'intégration qui permet de calculer la trajectoire de particules en simulation de dynamique moléculaire. Cette méthode offre une meilleure stabilité que la plus simple méthode d'Euler (créée au ), de même que d'importantes propriétés dans les systèmes physiques, telles que la réversibilité dans le temps et la conservation de propriété. À première vue, il peut sembler naturel de calculer les trajectoires en utilisant la méthode d'Euler. Cependant, ce type d'intégration souffre de nombreux problèmes.
