Adapter (rocketry) In rocketry, an adapter is a hollow cylindrical or conical segments between rocket stages or between the top rocket stage and the shroud that houses a spacecraft. They transfer the thrust from the lowest stage and are discarded during staging.
Adapter pattern In computer programming, the adapter design pattern (sometimes referred to as the wrapper pattern or simply a wrapper) 'adapts' one interface for a class into one that a client expects. An adapter allows classes to work together that normally could not because of incompatible interfaces by wrapping its own interface around that of an already existing class.
Adaptive In psychology, a behavior or trait is adaptive when it helps an individual adjust and function well within a changing social environment. A maladaptive is a behavior or trait that is not adaptive — it is counterproductive to the individual.
Adaptive algorithm An adaptive algorithm is an algorithm which changes its behavior based on the resources available. For example, stable partition, using no additional memory is O(n lg n) but given O(n) memory, it can be O(n) in time.

They are particularly suited to streaming data, as they adapt to localized changes in the characteristics of the data, and don't require a first pass over the data to calculate a probability model.
Adaptive communications Adaptive communications can mean any communications system, or portion thereof, that automatically uses feedback information obtained from the system itself or from the signals carried by the system to modify dynamically one or more of the system operational parameters to improve system performance or to resist degradation.
Adaptive control Adaptive control involves modifying the control law used by a controller to cope with the fact that the parameters of the system being controlled are slowly time-varying or uncertain. For example, as an aircraft flies, its mass will slowly decrease as a result of fuel consumption; we need a control law that adapts itself to such changing conditions.
Adaptive dynamics Adaptive dynamics is a set of techniques for studying long-term phenotypical evolution developed during the 1990s. It incorporates the concept of frequency dependence from game theory but allows for more realistic ecological descriptions, as the traits vary continuously and gives rise to a non-linear invasion fitness (the classical fitness concept is not directly applicable to situations with frequency dependence).
Adaptive equalizer An adaptive equalizer is an adaptive filter that adjusts to meet varying communication channel conditions to automatically adjust for echoes and varying carrier-signal strengths. In digital communication systems, a Decision-feedback equalizer is often used to eliminate intersymbol interference.
Adaptive expectations In economics, adaptive expectations means that people form their expectations about what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past. For example, if inflation has been higher than expected in the past, people would revise expectations for the future.
Adaptive expertise Adaptive expertise is a term coined by Giyoo Hatano and Kayoko Inagaki1, to tease out the variability within groups of experts. To illustrate, imagine two sushi chefs: one who makes every piece perfectly but routinely makes the same few types over and over, and one produces new menus frequently.
Adaptive filter An adaptive filter is a filter which self-adjusts its transfer function according to an optimizing algorithm. Because of the complexity of the optimizing algorithms, most adaptive filters are digital filters that perform digital signal processing and adapt their performance based on the input signal.
Adaptive heap sort The adaptive heap sort is a sorting algorithm that is similar to heap sort, but uses a randomized binary search tree to structure the input according to any preexisting order. The randomized binary search tree is used to select candidates that are put into the heap, so the heap doesn't need to keep track of all elements.
Adaptive Huffman coding Adaptive Huffman coding (also called Dynamic Huffman coding) is an adaptive coding technique based on Huffman coding, building the code as the symbols are being transmitted, having no initial knowledge of source distribution, that allows one-pass encoding and adaptation to changing conditions in data.
Adaptive chosen plaintext and chosen ciphertext attack In cryptography, an adaptive chosen plaintext attack and chosen ciphertext attack is one in which the attacker can choose both plaintexts to be encrypted and ciphertexts to be decrypted, and can do so interactively, basing one query on the results of the previous. It combines the capabilities of an adaptive chosen plaintext and an adaptive chosen ciphertext attack.
Adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack An adaptive-chosen-ciphertext attack (abbreviated as CCA2) is an interactive form of chosen-ciphertext attack in which an attacker sends a number of ciphertexts to be decrypted, then uses the results of these decryptions to select subsequent ciphertexts. It is to be distinguished from an indifferent-chosen-ciphertext attack (CCA1).
Adaptive chosen-message attack An adaptive chosen-message attack is an attack model for digital signatures in which the attacker can ask a signature oracle to sign arbitrary messages. He can do so multiple times and adapt his choice based on the outcome of previous signature queries.
Adaptive immune system The adaptive immune system is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogenic challenges. Thought to have arisen in the first jawed vertebrates, the adaptive or "specific" immune system is activated by the “non-specific” and evolutionarily older innate immune system (which is the major system of host defense against pathogens in nearly all other living things).
Adaptive management Adaptive management, or Adaptive resource management (ARM), is an iterative process of optimal decision-making in the face of uncertainty, with an aim to reducing that uncertainty over time via system monitoring. In this way, decision-making simultaneously maximizes one or more resource objectives and, either passively or actively, accrues information needed to improve future management.
Adaptive modulation Adaptive modulation is a transmission scheme in digital communications where the transmitter adapts its transmission mode in accordance with the channel. Depending on the condition of the channel, the transmitter could be adapting one or more of the following: constellation size, code rate, and power.

Adaptive optimization Adaptive optimization is a technique in computer science that performs dynamic recompilation of portions of a program based on the current execution profile. With a simple implementation, an adaptive optimizer may simply make a trade-off between Just-in-time compilation and interpreting instructions.
Adaptive predictive coding Adaptive predictive coding (APC) is a narrowband analog-to-digital conversion that uses a one-level or multilevel sampling system in which the value of the signal at each sampling instant is predicted according to a linear function of the past values of the quantized signals.
Adaptive Partition Scheduler Adaptive Partition Schedulers are a relatively new type of partition scheduler, pioneered with the most recent version of the QNX operating system. Adaptive Partitioning, or AP, allows the real-time system designer to request that a percentage of processing resources be reserved for a particular subsystem (group of threads and/or processes).
Adaptive radiation Adaptive radiation describes the rapid speciation of a single or a few species to fill many ecological niches. This is an evolutionary process driven by mutation (heritable/genetic variation) and natural selection.

Adaptive routing Adaptive routing describes the capability of a system, through which routes are characterised by their destination, to alter the path that the route takes through the system in response to a change in conditions. The adaptation is intended to allow as many routes as possible to remain valid (that is, have destinations that can be reached) in response to the change.
Adaptive Restraint Technology System Adaptive Restraint Technology System is a passenger protection tailored to the size and position of the occupant. It also reduces repair costs after and accident because the system is only activated if it will help protect the occupants.
Adaptive simulated annealing Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) is a variant of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm in which the algorithm parameters that control temperature schedule and random step selection are automatically adjusted according to algorithm progress. This makes the algorithm more efficient and less sensitive to user defined parameters than canonical SA.
Adaptive stepsize Adaptive stepsize is a technique in numerical analysis used for many problems, but mainly for integration; This can be 'normal' integration, or the process of solving an ordinary differential equation. This article focusses on the latter.
Adaptive strategies The expression adaptive strategies is used by anthropologist Yehudi Cohen to describe a society’s system of economic production. Cohen argued that the most important reason for similarities between two (or more) unrelated societies is their possession of a similar adaptive strategy.
Adaptive system An adaptive system is a system that is able to adapt its behavior according to changes in its environment or in parts of the system itself. A human being, for instance, is certainly an adaptive system; so are organizations and families.
