From a geotechnical perspective, bedding is a discontinuity in a rock mass.
This is a fixed-mesh method in which the interface between immiscible fluids is modeled as a discontinuity in a characteristic function (such as the volume fraction).
By determining an acceptance limit of this probability value based on the working stress type of the component and assembly (importance) the proposed approach can be implemented to accept or refuse a discontinuity in a steel component.
Its underlying idea of creating a cage and using a spectral general analytical solution around a discontinuity in a surrounding field as a computational mechanism to enable the accommodation of physical and geometric discontinuities is a general concept, and can be applied to other problems of importance to physics, mechanics, and chemistry.
On OCT, RPE tears are typically seen as a discontinuity in a large PED, with the free edge of the RPE often curled under the PED.
There is a big problem — a discontinuity in macroeconomic outcomes — when large financial institutions are at the margin between solvency and insolvency.
His theory succeeded also in predicting a discontinuity in the specific heat of a ferromagnetic substance at the Curie point and suggested that spontaneous magnetization could occur in such materials; the latter phenomenon was later found to occur in very small regions known as Weiss domains.
She has previously defined "art" as that which creates a "discontinuity in the undifferentiated manifold" (Kant) but now she says it is "marketing".
