GéographieLa géographie (du grec ancien , composé de , « la Terre » et , « écrire, dessiner », puis du latin , littéralement traduit par « dessin de la Terre ») est une science centrée sur le présent, ayant pour objet la description de la Terre et en particulier l'étude des phénomènes physiques, biologiques et humains qui se produisent sur le globe terrestre, à un certain niveau d'abstraction relative qui s'y prête, pluridisciplinarité comprise voire transdisciplinarité en un certain sens.
Object–relational impedance mismatchObject–relational impedance mismatch creates difficulties going from data in relational data stores (relational database management system [“RDBMS”]) to usage in domain-driven object models. Object-orientation (OO) is the default method for business-centric design in programming languages. The problem lies in neither relational nor OO, but in the conceptual difficulty mapping between the two logic models. Both are logical models implementable differently on database servers, programming languages, design patterns, or other technologies.
Relational calculusThe relational calculus consists of two calculi, the tuple relational calculus and the domain relational calculus, that is part of the relational model for databases and provide a declarative way to specify database queries. The raison d'être of relational calculus is the formalization of query optimization, which is finding more efficient manners to execute the same query in a database.
Urban ecosystemIn ecology, urban ecosystems are considered a ecosystem functional group within the intensive land-use biome. They are structurally complex ecosystems with highly heterogeneous and dynamic spatial structure that is created and maintained by humans. They include cities, smaller settlements and industrial areas, that are made up of diverse patch types (e.g. buildings, paved surfaces, transport infrastructure, parks and gardens, refuse areas). Urban ecosystems rely on large subsidies of imported water, nutrients, food and other resources.
