The phrase "a continuum of development" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a process or range of changes that occur gradually over time, often in contexts related to growth, education, or evolution.
Example: "The child's learning is best understood as a continuum of development, where each stage builds upon the previous one."
Alternatives: "a progression of development" or "an ongoing development process".
Furthermore, uninterrupted growth, without undergoing metamorphosis, provides a continuum of development, maturation and aging in zebrafish.
Experimental and translational research data suggest that there is a continuum of development of CTCs that range from one end of the spectrum (epithelial phenotype) to the other end of the spectrum (mesenchymal phenotype) and include those with a partial EMT phenotype [ 5, 21– 23].
To summarize: there is a conversation as to where on a continuum of theory development, various methods are required to target different contributions to theory (methodological fit).
To capture the level of beach disturbance relatively pristine beaches and heavily altered beaches are endpoints in a continuum of beach development.
The lack of an SSB anchor gene is likely to reflect the fact that this structure is a continuum of nephron development with no unique gene expression or that it was difficult to definitively identify this stage from others at isolation based upon PNA staining.
On the basis of these data, we propose a continuum of metacognitive-regulation development in introductory biology students.
We have proposed a continuum of metacognitive-regulation development that represents what we saw in introductory biology students.
As with measures of glucose, a continuum of risk for the development of diabetes based on A1C levels has been demonstrated (59– 61).
The pathogenesis of both conditions can be thought of as a continuum of dysglycemia with the development of impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance as a common pathogenic link.
A continuum of risk for the development of diabetes based on HbA1c levels has been demonstrated (Droumaguet et al. 2006; Edelman et al. 2004).
A continuum of risk for the development of diabetes across a wide range of subdiabetic A1C levels may make the classification of individuals into categories similar to IFG and IGT equally problematic for A1C, as it implies that we actually know where risk begins or becomes clinically important.
