Systematic names often co exist with earlier common names assigned before the creation of any systematic naming system.

In coding theory , a systematic code is any error correcting code in which the input data is embedded in the encoded output. Conversely, in a non systematic code the output does not contain the input symbols. Systematic codes have the advantage that the parity data can simply be appended to the source block, and receivers do not need to recover the original source symbols if received correctly &ndash this is useful for example if error correction coding is combined with a hash function for quickly determining the correctness of the received source symbols, or in cases where errors occur in Erasure channel disambiguation erasures and a received symbol is thus always correct. Furthermore, for engineering purposes such as synchronization and monitoring, it is desirable to get reasonable good estimates of the received source symbols without going through the lengthy decoding process which may be carried out at a remote site at a later time. ref name nonsystematic cite journal author James L ... doi 10.1109 TCOM.1971.1090720 ref Properties Every non systematic code can be transformed into a systematic ... as systematic codes.

In a meaningful sense, all of western philosophy from Plato to the modern schools of theoretical metaphysics . In many ways, any attempts to formulate a philosophical method that provides the ultimate constituents of reality, a metaphysics, can be considered systematic philosophy.

By contrast, unsystematic risk , sometimes called Modern portfolio theory Asset pricing specific risk , idiosyncratic risk , residual risk , or diversifiable risk , is the company specific or industry specific risk in a portfolio finance portfolio , which is uncorrelated with aggregate market returns. Unsystematic risk can be mitigated through diversification finance diversification , and systematic risk can not be. ref http www.investopedia.com terms u unsystematicrisk.asp ref Systematic risk should not be confused with systemic risk , the risk of loss from some catastrophic event that collapses the entire financial system . Example For example, consider an individual investor who purchases 10,000 of stock in 10 biotechnology companies. If unforeseen events cause a catastrophic setback and one or two companies stock prices drop, the investor incurs a loss. On the other hand, an investor who purchases 100,000 in a single biotechnology company would incur ten times the loss from such an event. The second investor s portfolio has more unsystematic risk than the diversified portfolio. Finally, if the setback were to affect the entire industry instead, the investors would incur similar losses, due to systematic risk. Systematic risk is essentially dependent on macroeconomic factors such as inflation, interest rates and so on. It may also derive from the structure and dynamics of the market.

Using this procedure each element in the population has a known and equal probability of selection. This makes systematic sampling functionally similar to simple random sampling . It is however, much more efficient if variance within systematic sample is more than variance of population . The researcher must ensure that the chosen sampling interval does not hide a pattern. Any pattern would threaten randomness. A random starting point must also be selected. Systematic sampling is to be applied only if the given population is logically homogeneous, because systematic sample units are uniformly distributed over the population.

Refimprove date July 2011 Systematic desensitization is a type of behavioral therapy used in the field of psychology to help effectively overcome phobias and other anxiety disorders . More specifically, it is a type of Pavlovian therapy classical conditioning therapy developed by a South African psychiatrist, Joseph Wolpe . To begin the process of systematic desensitization, one must first be taught relaxation skills in order to extinguish fear and anxiety responses to specific phobias. Once the individual has been taught these skills, he or she must use them to react towards and overcome situations in an established hierarchy of fears. The goal of this process is that an individual will learn to cope and overcome the fear in each step of the hierarchy, which will lead to overcoming the last step of the fear in the hierarchy. Systematic desensitization is sometimes called graduated exposure therapy . Specific phobias are one class of mental illness often treated through the behavior therapy or cognitive therapy cognitive behavioral process of systematic desensitization. When individuals possess irrational fears of an object, such as height, dogs, snakes, and close spaces, they tend to avoid it. Since escaping from the phobic object reduces their anxiety, patients behavior to reduce fear is reinforced through negative reinforcement, a concept defined in operant conditioning . The goal of systematic desensitization is to overcome this avoidance pattern by gradually exposing patients to the phobic object until it can be tolerated. In classical and operant conditioning terms the elicitation of the fear response is extinguished to the stimulus or class of stimuli . Coping strategies ...

Systematic survey or extensive survey is the archaeology archaeological technique of detailed examination of an area for the purpose of recording the location and significance of archaeological resources. It provides a regional perspective by gathering information on settlement patterns over a large area. It is one of the basic fieldwork strategies used by paleoanthropologists and archaeologists . The regional survey answer questions pertaining to the site s location, the size of the settlement, their types of buildings, and the age of the site. Usually the surveyor walks over the area and records the site locations and their size. During this process, the surveyor tries to date the site to see when it was occupied.

Over time, reporting bias can lead to a status quo where multiple investigators discover and discard the same results, and later experimenters justify their own reporting bias by observing that previous experimenters reported different results. Thus, each incident of reporting bias can make future incidents more likely. ref http www.cochrane.org resources handbook Green S, Higgins S, editors Glossary.
