The Continuum

Each level exists on a continuum from left-hemispheric brain function, which is organized, sequential, and linear, to right-hemispheric brain function, which is emotional and spiritual in nature. The Kinesthetic, Perceptual and Cognitive components are predominantly located in the left-brain and the Sensory, Affective, and Symbolic components are predominantly located in the right-brain. The highest level of the ETC is the Creative level which can actually manifest at any of the functional…

Data Analysis Biaxial Tensile Tests Different stress and strain definitions have been used to study the biomechanics of soft tissue [24]. The 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green strain definitions have been employed in this study, which are described briefly in the following. The Green strain tensor is defined as E=1/2(F^T F-1), where F is the gradient deformation tensor. For the case of in-plane biaxial stretching in directions 1 and 2, the Green strain in these directions can be written…

left of the continuum of managed care lies managed indemnity and to the far right is closed panel HMOs. When we talk about the continuum of managed care we are referring to “clinical or operational improvements to the overall delivery of care.”(Bharucha, 2012) Moving towards the right of the continuum the main goal is to provide better quality, service and lower costs. According to Kongstvedt, “these key features appear as you begin to move toward the managed care end of the continuum: tighter…

The Use of Force continuum has been a part of the law enforcement career for many years. This was implemented to allow officers to escalate and de-escalate situations depending on force necessary for case-by-case situations. Officers are allowed to use discretion, partake in different trainings and exercises, as well as go through an extensive, intense classroom and physical academy before deploying any type of force. The more educated the officer in the module of the continuum, the better…

The issue of dialect and education and, in particular, what dialect is correct to use in the classroom has generated a debate in schools. “Linguistic research defines a dialect, or language variety, as a variety of a language that is associated with a particular regional or social group.” Contrary to popular belief, dialect is not a lesser or ungrammatical way of speaking. All dialects are logical even though they may vary in pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary (Godley, Sweetland, Wheeler,…

correct. The truth is that streams and rivers provide a huge diversity of food, prey, and shelter along their length. This diversity can be explained by the River Continuum Concept and stems from the many different and highly variable physical stream structures and parameters that evolve as a waterway increases in size. The River Continuum Concept is an ecological theory which posits that researchers must consider how the entire riverine system is functionally linked. Because…

On the Adaption-Innovation continuum I feel within the mildly adaptive range; yet, once we began discussing the representative traits and characteristics I believe that I am more moderately adaptive or strongly adaptive. My adaptive abilities have proven extremely effective in my job as a JTAC. The process and procedures, while fluid remain extremely systematic my capacity to employ these developed techniques. Innovation, or the ability to think “outside of the box” is important the planning…

1) What are engineering stress and strain? Answer: Engineering Stress: Engineering stress is also called nominal stress, and it is defined as the applied load divided by the original cross sectional area of the material. Engineering Strain: Engineering strain is defined as the amount of material that deforms per unit length in a tensile test. Engineering strain is also known as nominal strain. 2) In the figure below, graphically show the toughness of three class materials:…

Soil-Plant-Atmosphere continuum This chapter explains the concept of soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPA) and its fundamental principles. It also examines the role of water in the SPA continuum. A model for soil-water balance, its components and the way in which it can be determined will be also presented, taking into account the different uncertainties that could affect the measurements. 1.1 Terminology The SPA continuum is defined by the movement of water from the soil to the root through…

The Continuum of Managed Care is a service that is provided to patients as well as a system to track the outcome of patient healthcare at all levels. “The Continuum of Care covers the delivery of healthcare over a period of time, and may refer to care provided from birth to end of life. Healthcare services are provided for all levels and stages of care.” (HIMSS) The main two types of traditional health insurance is the indemnity insurance and the service plans. Indemnity Insurance protects…
