  2. Digital selective calling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Selective_Calling

    Digital selective calling (DSC) is a standard for transmitting predefined digital messages via the medium-frequency (MF), high-frequency (HF) and very-high-frequency (VHF) maritime radio systems. It is a core part of the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS).

  3. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

    Differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. [1] Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment.

  5. Dice-Sørensen coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice-Sørensen_coefficient

    The Dice-Sørensen coefficient (see below for other names) is a statistic used to gauge the similarity of two samples. It was independently developed by the botanists Lee Raymond Dice [1] and Thorvald Sørensen, [2] who published in 1945 and 1948 respectively.

  6. Maritime identification digits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_identification_digits

    Maritime identification digits are used by radio communication facilities to identify their home country or base area in Digital Selective Calling (DSC), Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS), and Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages as part of their Maritime Mobile Service Identities. The International Telecommunication ...

    Marine VHF radio. A standard handheld marine VHF, mandatory on larger seagoing vessels under the GMDSS rules. A VHF set and a VHF channel 70 DSC set, the DSC on top. A vintage (76-89) marine VHF radiotelephone. Marine VHF radio is a worldwide system of two way radio transceivers on ships and watercraft used for bidirectional voice communication ...

  8. Distress signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distress_signal

    A distress signal indicates that a person or group of people, watercraft, aircraft, or other vehicle is threatened by a serious or imminent danger and requires immediate assistance. [1] : . PCG D−3 Use of distress signals in other circumstances may be against local or international law.

  9. Distributed source coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_source_coding

    Distributed source coding (DSC) is an important problem in information theory and communication. DSC problems regard the compression of multiple correlated information sources that do not communicate with each other.

  10. Dye-sensitized solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sensitized_solar_cell

    Dye sensitised solar cells operate as a photoanode (n-DSC), where photocurrent result from electron injection by the sensitized dye. Photocathodes (p-DSCs) operate in an inverse mode compared to the conventional n-DSC, where dye-excitation is followed by rapid electron transfer from a p-type semiconductor to the dye (dye-sensitized hole ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiated_services

    DiffServ uses a 6-bit differentiated services code point ( DSCP) in the 6-bit differentiated services field ( DS field) in the IP header for packet classification purposes. The DS field, together with the ECN field, replaces the outdated IPv4 TOS field. [1]
