Application server
An application server is a server-side software platform that exposes business logic to clients, generating dynamic content like transaction results and analytics, unlike a static web server.
Application service provider
An application service provider (ASP) is a company that hosts and manages applications on central servers, delivering them over the Internet to subscribers; the term emerged in 1998.
Application software
Application software, also called apps, is software that performs specific user tasks such as word processing or payroll, unlike system software, which controls the computer itself.
Application-specific integrated circuit
An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit customized in silicon for a particular application, unlike a general-purpose microprocessor or reprogrammable FPGA, and common in AI accelerators.
Applications of artificial intelligence
Applications of AI are the practical uses of machine learning across sectors like healthcare, energy, and agriculture, analyzing large datasets to detect patterns, support decisions, and automate operations.
Applications of bacteriophages
Applications of bacteriophages span medicine, food safety, agriculture, and biotechnology: therapy for drug-resistant infections, food decontamination, agricultural biocontrol, diagnostics, and phage display, with renewed interest as antimicrobial resistance rises.
Applications of boronic acids and boronates
Applications of boronic acids and boronates rest on reversible diol binding and peroxide oxidation, underpinning glucose and peroxide sensors, boronate affinity separations, responsive polymers and hydrogels, and biomedical drug delivery.
Applications of capacitors
Applications of capacitors span energy storage in camera flashes and defibrillators, industrial power factor correction for motors, and signal conditioning such as AC coupling, decoupling, and filtering in circuits.
Applications of linear free-energy relationships and kinetics to mechanism determination
Applications of linear free-energy relationships and kinetics to mechanism determination surveys how LFER slopes and kinetic isotope effects serve as convergent evidence for organic reaction mechanisms, such as SN1 versus SN2.
Applications of martingales
Applications of martingales, via the optional stopping theorem, prove betting systems fail in unfavorable games, give gambler's ruin probabilities and game durations, and power Wald's sequential probability ratio test.
Applications of nanotechnology
Applications of nanotechnology, also covered as a list of nanotechnology applications, are the practical uses of nanoscale materials in medicine, electronics, energy, and water treatment, with over 1,000 commercial products.
Applications of NATM and drill-and-blast excavation
Applications of NATM and drill-and-blast excavation cover tunnels too short or geologically difficult for a tunnel boring machine, including caverns, stations, cross passages, and squeezing fault zones.
Applications of p-adic numbers
Applications of p-adic numbers are uses of p-adic number systems outside core p-adic analysis, in physics, cryptography and coding theory, data analysis, and dynamical systems, dating to 1987.
Applications of silyl protecting groups in synthesis
Silyl protecting groups are silicon-based substituents, most often silyl ethers, that temporarily mask hydroxyl groups during multistep organic synthesis, with applications in carbohydrate and RNA synthesis.
Applied and engineered archaeal rhodopsins
Applied and engineered archaeal rhodopsins are uses of bacteriorhodopsin, a light-driven proton pump from the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum, as active materials in holographic storage, photocells, and biosensors.
Applied arts
Applied arts: art applied to functional objects such as ceramics, furniture, textiles, and metalwork, distinct from the fine arts; shaped by the Arts and Crafts movement, the Deutscher Werkbund, and Japan's Mingei movement.
Applied bee, wasp and hornet names
Applied bee, wasp, and hornet names span military vehicles, WASP acronyms, and place names, drawing on the insects' symbolic loyalty, courage, and lethality since ancient Egypt.
Applied behavior analysis
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) applies operant conditioning principles to change socially significant behavior, defined by Baer, Wolf, and Risley's 1968 JABA framework; best known as an autism treatment with mixed evidence and growing Medicaid oversight.
Applied Biosystems
Applied Biosystems, formerly PE Applied Biosystems, is an American life-science instrument maker founded in 1981, known for automated DNA sequencing machines used to sequence the human genome.
Applied Computing (company)
Applied Computing is a London AI startup founded in 2023 by Callum Adamson and Samyakh Tukra, building Orbital, a foundation model for oil, gas, and petrochemical operations.
Applied Digital
Applied Digital Corporation is an American data center company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, building large campuses leased long-term for AI, cloud, and blockchain workloads.
Applied drama
Applied drama is process-based dramatic practice for participating communities rather than public audiences, using role play, improvisation and process drama; related to applied theatre, rooted in postwar UK and Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, with a contested impact-evaluation debate.
Applied economics
Applied economics is the use of economic theory, data, and statistical methods to answer concrete real-world questions, organized into fields like labor, public economics, and development.
Applied ethics
Applied ethics: the branch of ethics treating moral problems, practices, and policies in personal life, professions, technology, and government, distinct from metaethics, normative ethics, and professional ethics.
Applied general equilibrium
Applied general equilibrium (AGE), also called computable general equilibrium (CGE), is a family of economy-wide economic models that solve supply, demand, and price equations numerically for actual economies.
Applied kinesiology
Applied kinesiology (AK), founded by chiropractor George Goodheart in 1964, is a chiropractic diagnostic system using manual muscle testing with challenges to assess structural, chemical, and mental dysfunction; its diagnostic validity is unsupported by research.
Applied linguistics
Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that addresses practical language problems. Originating in 1941, it covers language teaching, acquisition, and is currently a major focus for generative AI research.
Applied Materials
Applied Materials is an American semiconductor equipment company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Founded in 1967, it supplies wafer fabrication equipment holding roughly a quarter of the global market.
Applied mathematics
Applied mathematics, also called applied math or applied maths, is the branch of mathematics that develops and applies mathematical tools to problems in science, engineering, industry, and society.
Applied nutrition
Applied nutrition: the branch of human nutrition linking diet to the health of the general population, covering healthy-eating promotion, prevention of malnutrition, dietary assessment, and guidelines; distinct from clinical nutrition and from the UK sports-nutrition company Applied Nutrition plc (LSE: APN).
