The surveillance design needs to be flexible over time depending on the pathogen, mitigation target, and progress of the intervention programme.
Because diseases are part of biological systems, and therefore highly variable and complex, mitigation and thus surveillance activities need to be dynamic, adaptive and flexible over time, which is reflected in the approach presented.
If needed, take yoga classes and spend more time stretching when you exercise (you won't be able to perform Gum Gum Storm, but hey, at least you'll be more flexible over time).
To model the buildup of material in a way that mimicked patient-used flexible endoscopes over time the MBEC pegs were exposed to repetitive cycles of treatments that were representative of the endoscope reprocessing protocol.
Allowing the system to be flexible and adapt over time is crucial, he says.
Recent advancements have been made relating the constructed properties of bituminous materials to the flexible pavement performance over time.
"When you have materials that are soft [like flexible electrodes], then over time, you could have issues with electrodes that deform," he says, causing the battery to short-circuit.
Intel, too, is betting on an array of products, as well as a technology called Field Programmable Gate Arrays (or FPGA), which would allow for a more modular approach in building hardware specified for AI and are designed to be flexible and change over time.
Fragmentary mental models are put together as the situation warrants to construct a comprehensive just-in-time mental model of the situation – one that is flexible, dynamic (changing over time) and context-specific [ 28, 29].
Don't hesitate to replace it if it is appears to be worn, damaged, or many years old (flexible plastics deteriorate over time): the monetary and environmental benefits from not heating an entire house, or even a room, unnecessarily far outweigh the cost of an occasional replacement.
A growth mindset is the assumption that your abilities and qualities are flexible and could grow over time - rather than a fixed mindset, which is the assumption that your qualities and abilities are set in stone and can't be changed.
