	Hierarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since hierarchical churches such as the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches had tables of organization that were "hierarchical" in the modern sense of the word, the term came to refer to similar organizational methods in more general settings.
		Feminists may not take issue with inanimate objects being organized in a hierarchical fashion, but rather with the specific asymmetrical organization of unequal value and power between men and women and, usually, other social hierarchies such as in racism and anti-gay bias.
		The pitches and form of tonal music are organized hierarchically, all pitches deriving their importance from their relationship to a tonic key, and secondary themes in other keys are brought back to the tonic in a recapitulation of the primary theme.

	Hierarchical model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hierarchical database is a kind of database management system that links records together in a tree data structure such that each record type has only one owner (e.g., an order is owned by only one customer).
		Hierarchical structures were widely used in the first mainframe database management systems.
		Hierarchical relationships between different types of data can make it very easy to answer some questions, but very difficult to answer others.

	Hierarchical Clustering - Introduction
		In hierarchical clustering the data are not partitioned into a particular cluster in a single step.
		Hierarchical Clustering is subdivided into agglomerative methods, which proceed by series of fusions of the n objects into groups, and divisive methods, which separate n objects successively into finer groupings.
		Hierarchical clustering may be represented by a two dimensional diagram known as dendrogram which illustrates the fusions or divisions made at each successive stage of analysis.

		In hierarchical diagrams the convention is that all edges emanating from the same parent node are joined together (as in Figure D.1).
		A hierarchical path is a sequence of nodes N1, N2,..., Ni, where N1 is the root of a tree and Ni is a child of NJ-1 for j = 2, 3,..., i.
		A PCR type is usually implemented by using the hierarchical sequence, whereas a VPCR type is usually implemented by establishing a pointer (a physical one containing an address, or a logical one containing a key) from a virtual child record to its virtual parent record.

	Hierarchical State Machine Design Pattern
		Hierarchical state machine design captures the commonality by organizing the states as a hierarchy.
		Hierarchical state machine design avoids this problem by recognizing that most states differ in the handling of only a few messages.
		When a new hierarchical state is defined, only the state specific handlers need to be specified.

	Hierarchical
		Hierarchical cluster analysis is a statistical method for finding relatively homogeneous clusters of cases based on measured characteristics.
		This hierarchical clustering process can be represented as a tree, or dendrogram, where each step in the clustering process is illustrated by a join of the tree; for example:
		This example illustrates cluster A and cluster B being combined at the fusion value of x, and the horizontal axis of the tree reflects the fusion values {x} of all the fusions, drawn to scale.

	Automatically Utilizing XML's Untapped Semantic Goldmine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Hierarchical semantics and their use remain consistent and independent of how the structure is stored and represented.
		Hierarchical structures are unambiguous which means they can be automatically navigated and naturally processed hierarchically by a 4GL utilizing the hierarchical semantics in the data structure.
		This same hierarchical processing is occurring in standard SQL and its relational processing, but takes on significantly more meaning (semantics) when the entire hierarchical structure is recognized and the result is examined against its hierarchical structure template.

	Learning by imitation: A hierarchical approach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Hierarchical organizations of control, he showed, are easier than linear ones to repair when they fail, allow the economy of multiple access to common subroutines, and combine efficient local action at low hierarchical levels while maintaining the guidance of an overall structure.
		Hierarchical processes are considered to underlay the emergence of symbolic abilities in children, and simple physical relationships between objects, like in-ness, on-ness, between-ness, or together-ness, are often found to lie at the core of this early hierarchical behaviour.
		Hierarchical organization is pervasive in the nervous system, and has long been believed to apply to the coding of behaviour.

	Hierarchical B-splines
		A hierarchical B-spline allows local refinement of the surface, as shown in the figure below: patch are added only to the region around the bumps.
		A hierarchical B-splines surface provides local refinement and the ability to change the overall shape of the surface without having to re-edit (or re-animate in the case of animated surfaces) the details on that surface.
		A hierarchical B-splines surface is created by repeated application of local refinement of an initial B-spline surface (either a plane, cylinder or torus).

	V&V Practices: Hierarchical Verification (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Hierarchical system composition is consistent with common interpretations of the “V” model of integration and verification (see the "V" Model Figure).
		Certainly, hierarchical verification matches the common-sense notion that attempting to integrate a subsystem is futile if any of its components fail to meet their requirements; the defects of the component surely will cause its parent subsystem to fail as well.
		Nonetheless, hierarchical verification may be the most appropriate and predominant approach on many projects, especially for large, distributed development teams and for safety-critical systems where rigorous verification is a necessity.

	26.1 Overview of Hierarchical Routing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Hierarchical routing was mainly devised, among other things, to reduce memory requirements of simulations over very large topologies.
		Optimum results were found for 3 levels of hierarchy and the current ns implementation supports upto a maximum of 3 levels of hierarchical routing.
		To be able to use hierarchical routing for the simulations, we need to define the hierarchy of the topology as well as provide the nodes with hierarchical addressing.

	Hierarchical Hybrid OTDM/WDM Network
		The hierarchical optical path architecture consisting of WDM bands and channels has been proposed to be suitable for large-scale WDM backbone networks as shown in Fig.1(a) [1].
		One of the aims of using OTDM in the wavelength-band path is possibility to monitor error-free transmission in the physical layer, which is necessary to cut through the high-level nodes.
		Key technologies for hierarchical hybrid OTDM/WDM network, that is, 3.24 Tbit/s frequency standardized continuous C- and L-wavelength-band signal generation, 40 Gbit/s OTDM-WDM mutual multiplexing format conversions, and 640 Gbit/s OTDM wavelength-band conversions have been developed.

	What is hierarchical? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Hierarchical systems are as popular in computer systems as they are in other walks of life.
		The most obvious example of a hierarchical system in computers is a file system, in which directories have files and subdirectories beneath them.
		Menu-driven programs are also hierarchical, because they contain a root menu at the top of the pyramid and submenus below it.

		Second, the abstract condition showed that contrary to the predictions of the hierarchical model, L2 to L1 translations took longer than L1 to L2 translations, thus suggesting that L2 to L1 translations are less sensitive to lexical processes and perhaps more sensitive to conceptual factors.
		Regarding the hierarchical model, it could be that this model is a language proficiency model and it is unable to take language dominance as a major factor in describing bilingual memory structure.
		It is important to point out that the present version (R-2) of the hierarchical model makes the same assumptions as Figure 1 regarding the links between the MDL and LDL lexicons and the lexical links to the conceptual store.

	Iterative Hierarchical Redistribution
		Merging combines two sibling clusters in a hierarchical clustering if to do so increases the quality of the partition of which the clusters are members; splitting can remove a cluster and promote its children to the next higher partition; a distinct promotion operator can promote an individual cluster to the next higher level.
		In contrast, hierarchical redistribution resorts each cluster, regardless of its initial location in the tree, through the root of the entire tree, thus more vigorously pursuing migration and more globally evaluating the merits of such moves.
		In contrast, hierarchical redistribution is motivated by a philosophy that sorting (or some other method) can produce a tentative clustering over all the data quickly, followed by iterative optimization procedures in background that revise the clustering intermittently.

		As we discuss in section 5, this relationship is a subtype of the hierarchical thesaurus relationship.
		Whole-Part (partitive): this is a hierarchical relationship between concepts of the same type, where 'the name of the part implies the name of the possessing whole in any context'.
		If the three standard thesaurus relationships formed the top level of a hierarchical structure then any such new applications would retain compatibility with the large number of existing thesauri (and indexed collections) where it is infeasible to augment the core relationships.
