Balhoff et al. (2007) coupled physically representative network models created from computer-generated sphere packings to adjacent continuum-scale models.
In a previous study of our group, it has been shown that broad continua adjacent to the full-energy peaks (the "shoulders") in the spectra of 59.537 keV γ-rays emitted from a standard 241Am calibration source are due to Compton scattering of γ-rays in the source plate (mass of only 0.59 g).
Moreover, the individual CoG increases between adjacent sibilants in the continuum are all in the same order of magnitude, i.e. between about 600 to 800 Hz.
All significant differences (i.e. p levels <0.05) in frequency between adjacent steps in the sibilant continuum are restricted to sibilants 3 7.
The model is a hybrid discrete-continuous one where the motions consist of rotations of the pulleys, rotation of the tensioner arm, and transverse vibrations of the continuum belt spans adjacent to the tensioner.
Languages spoken in a series of dialects occupying adjacent territory form a dialect continuum or language complex, with some of the dialects being mutually intelligible while others are not.
The 'threshold' is that point along the continuum where two adjacent responses are equally likely (50% chance each).
Apart from the diagnostic lattice-vibration bands, the value of the continuum absorption coefficient in adjacent spectral ranges is also important.
The varieties of Ojibwe form a dialect continuum, a series of adjacent dialects spoken primarily in the area surrounding the Great Lakes as well as in the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, with smaller outlying groups in North Dakota, Montana, Alberta, and British Columbia.
The first was county-level rurality, a four-level variable based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural and Urban Continuum Codes (rural; urban non-adjacent to metropolitan; urban adjacent to metropolitan; metropolitan).
Because the distinction between RP, NP, and SP was determined based on progressive CD4 changes, individual CD4 slopes were dispersed in a continuum distribution where the difference between adjacent groups would not be significant but there would be an expected trend that produces significant differences between the extreme groups (RPs and SPs).
