DALL-E
DALL-E is a family of OpenAI text-to-image systems that creates images from natural-language descriptions, with versions released in 2021, 2022, and 2023 before retirement in 2026.
DALL-E 2
DALL-E 2 is an OpenAI text-to-image model released in April 2022 that generates photorealistic images from captions, edits images by text instruction, and produces variations.
DALL-E 3
DALL-E 3 is a text-to-image model announced by OpenAI on September 20, 2023, integrated into ChatGPT and trained largely on synthetic captions for better prompt following.
DALL-E Mini
DALL-E Mini was an independent, open-source text-to-image model created in 2021 by Boris Dayma, whose distorted images went viral in mid-2022 before rebranding as Craiyon.
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is a major airport between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, opened in 1974; it is among the world's busiest and American Airlines' largest hub.
Dallas Love Field
Dallas Love Field, also known as Love Field Airport, is a city-owned airport 7 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, Texas, and the base of Southwest Airlines.
Dallas/Fort Worth Airport station
Dallas/Fort Worth Airport station is a pair of adjacent rail stations at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport: the DART Orange Line terminus at Terminal A and the TEXRail station at Terminal B.
Dalpari Oil Field
The Dalpari Oil Field is an onshore oil field in Ilam province, western Iran, owned by the National Iranian Oil Company, discovered in 1978 and producing since 1999.
Dalton Highway
The Dalton Highway (Alaska Route 11) is a 414-mile, mostly gravel highway in northern Alaska running from Livengood to Deadhorse at the Prudhoe Bay oil fields.
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.
Dalvik Executable format
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.
Daly Sinclair Oil Field
The Daly Sinclair Oil Field is an oil field in southwestern Manitoba, Canada, and the province's largest, formed in 2010 by amalgamating the Daly and Sinclair fields.
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-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.
DAMA International
DAMA International, originally the Data Administration Management Association, is a not-for-profit, vendor-independent data management association founded in Los Angeles in 1980, publisher of the DAMA-DMBOK guide and sponsor of the CDMP certification.
