One striking phenomenon is that with the same initial data, the continuum and its discretized counterpart can asymptotically approach different stable solutions.
Although research training and career development are the most obvious in the early stages of mentored research, this process should be viewed as a continuum from initial recruitment and engagement in biomedical research through the initial and subsequent discoveries that lead to an established and productive career in environmental health sciences.
Probably the healthiest way to handle these conundrums is to see creation and performance (and even criticism) as strung along a fluid continuum from initial inspiration to the latest revision or performance you've encountered.
Access to primary care across the continuum, from initial contact with a provider through to ongoing health care and preventive services, is critical.
Senior centers routinely assess older adults for service needs and health status, serve as initial contact for a continuum of aging services, and provide a safety net offering meals, health checks, care management and referral services.
The disease appears to be a continuum from an initial single symptom disease to a fully developed disease entity.
The diagnostic pathway was defined as the health care seeking continuum from the initial self-recognition of TB symptoms to the final diagnosis.
Khoury et al. have described genomic research as falling on a continuum from the initial discovery (T0) to T1, developing candidate health applications; T2, evaluating its applications and developing evidence-based recommendations; T3, integrating evidence-based recommendations into health care and prevention; and finally T4, assessing health outcomes and population impact.
Furthermore, a simple model of initial strain is incorporated in the continuum equations to model the inherent shrinking of the material.
Why, I wonder, are these -- along with my initial question of the biological gender continuum -- not the questions that are front and center as the Supreme Court looks at the issue of the justice of marriage equality in this country?
