Dalvik (software)

Dalvik, also known as the Dalvik Virtual Machine, was the process virtual machine that executed Android apps until Android 5.0, running register-based DEX bytecode designed for low-RAM devices.

The Dalvik Executable format (DEX) is the bytecode file format of the Android platform, holding class definitions in .dex files packaged inside an APK; it uses register-based instructions rather than the stack-based Java bytecode.

The BBC version ran 1996-2007 with Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan; BritBox and ITV commissioned a female-led six-part reimagining with Kerry Godliman and Nina Singh in 2026.

Dam

A dam is an engineered barrier to water flow that creates a reservoir used for irrigation, power generation, water supply, flood control, navigation, or recreation.

Dam breach and dam-break analysis

Dam-break analysis is the modeling of a hypothetical dam failure to predict breach size, peak discharge, and downstream flooding, supporting hazard classification and emergency action plans.

Dam break analysis

Dam break analysis is the engineering practice of predicting what happens when a dam fails, estimating breach size and outflow, and routing the flood downstream to produce inundation maps.

Dam decommissioning

Dam decommissioning is the planned withdrawal of a dam from service, ranging from partial modification to full removal, when a structure is unsafe, obsolete, or environmentally harmful.

Dam decommissioning and FERC relicensing

Dam decommissioning and FERC relicensing is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission process for retiring nonfederal hydropower dams, either through relicensing with new conditions or license surrender.

Dam emergency action plan

A dam emergency action plan is a document prepared by a dam owner that sets out notification steps and actions if the dam shows signs of failing.

Dam failure

A dam failure, also called a dam break or dam burst, is the collapse or uncontrolled release of a dam, releasing a sudden downstream flood.

Dam inspection and condition assessment

Dam inspection and condition assessment is the periodic examination of existing embankment and concrete dams to detect deterioration, judge seepage and cracking, and re-evaluate safety.

Dam monitoring and instrumentation

Dam monitoring and instrumentation is the practice of measuring pore pressures, seepage, movements, and stresses to check that a dam in service is behaving as designed.

Dam removal

Dam removal is the deliberate demolition of a dam to restore a river's natural flow, sediment transport, and fish passage, with over 2,000 dams removed in the United States.

Dam safety features and protective systems

Dam safety features are the engineered elements built into a dam to prevent overtopping and internal erosion, mainly spillways, emergency outlet works, and seepage-control filters and drains.

Dam Safety Guidelines (Canadian Dam Association)

The Dam Safety Guidelines of the Canadian Dam Association are the association's principal reference for good practice in managing dams safely in Canada, currently the 2013 edition.

Dam safety monitoring

Dam safety monitoring is the continuous or periodic observation of a dam's behavior through visual inspection and instruments measuring seepage, pressure, and movement, so defects are caught before failures.

Dam safety regulation

Dam safety regulation is the body of laws, agencies, and enforcement practices that assign responsibility for safe dam design, operation, maintenance, and inspection to prevent catastrophic failures.

Dam safety risk assessment

Dam safety risk assessment is the structured process of identifying potential dam failure modes, estimating their probability and consequences, and comparing the risks against tolerable-risk thresholds to prioritize action.

Dam Square

Dam Square (de Dam) is Amsterdam's central square, formed by a 13th-century dam in the Amstel that gave the city its name. Key facts: 1275 toll privilege, Royal Palace, Nieuwe Kerk, National Monument.

Dam-removal advocacy movements

Dam-removal advocacy movements are organized campaigns by tribes, fishermen, and conservation groups to remove dams, best known for the Klamath River removals of 2023 and 2024.
