| | THE INFORMATION CONTINUUM By Peter J Slack, B.E.Sc, P.Eng |
 | | Information continuum is the distribution of material in space-time driven by the infinite paradox and repulsion between material and spirit and maintaining infinite symmetry. | | | The "information continuum" is the hypothetical field where energy is stored or expended to change the topology of distribution of mass. | | | The information continuum is the spatial distribution of material in the universe and is the reflection of the spirit dimension in the material dimension. |

| | TFS: Appendix A: Information Technology Literacy Continuum |
| | The purpose of the Information Technology Literacy Continuum is to provide a framework for the integration of information technology to achieve the vision of information technology as a foundation skill area. | | | When specific information technologies are identified on the continuum, they are to be viewed as examples and not as exhaustive lists that exclude all other similar types of information technologies. | | | The Information Technology Literacy Continuum is based upon knowledge of child development and upon the use of sound teaching and assessment strategies. |

| | Indeed, as soon as the first (spatiotemporal) continuum is introduced, everything in the universal scope that does not belong to the first continuum immediately shapes the second (constitution) continuum; and the third (information) continuum immediately emerges as the information about the mutual relations of the first two continuums (e.g. | | | The notion of Triune Continuum is important for various system modeling frameworks, which are used in diversified domains of human activity (e.g. | | | The name of Triune Continuum Paradigm originates from one of the three theories that were employed for the paradigm definition, from the theory of Triune Continuum. |

| | Legato Continuum: Delivering "Information Continuance" |
| | The data availability continuum - whose metric is recovery time - ranges from slower standard recovery, where recovery of a file system or entire disk volume is from tape, to hot standby (the fastest recovery mechanism), where mirroring includes both data and the application environment that uses the data. | | | Information continuance must balance all components of the IT infrastructure: the hardware trinity of servers, networks, and storage as well as the software trinity of applications, databases, and operating systems. | | | The development of new information continuance solutions is a work in process, as is the movement toward a storage utility. |

| | As participants noted where they were on the continuum for each item, they could be seen taking advantage of the conceptual and practical language the items implied for what might constitute improved performance. | | | Fourth, given that each item reflected a continuum of practice, it was determined that giving participants three options per descriptor provided an opportunity to give "high," "middle," or "low" ratings for each. | | | Subsequent analysis of soundness was done for the revised instrument (version 2) in the areas of validity, reliability, efficacy and usability. |

| | Convergence Continuum |
| | The Convergence Continuum allows researchers to explore Abraham's idea further because at lower levels of the continuum, news gathering and processing are expected to be done by separate staffs, and at higher levels the process is expected to be performed by combined staffs. | | | The Convergence Continuum has implications for both researchers and practitioners as a tool for the study, understanding, and implementation of cross-media efforts because it provides a heuristic for the way in which two traditionally separate, competitive, and culturally different media can share work or even create a third media operation. | | | The arrows on the continuum show that a partner's place on the model is not fixed; it can move back and forth depending on the nature of the news and the commitment to convergence by workers and managers. |

| | USGS Spectroscopy Lab - CAUSES OF SPURIOUS FEATURES IN SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE DATA |
| | A common practice to remove a continuum graphically is to draw a continuum and then draw a parallel line that is tangent to the lower part of the curve (Figure 4A). | | | The upper line is a straight line continuum whose end-points are defined by the reflectance on either side of the absorption band. | | | For example, in lunar spectra, the slope of the continuum is often so strong the 1-m pyroxene absorption has no minimum in reflectance. |

| | SOI-TN 00-142: Correction of MDI Continuum Intensity |
| | In practice there seems little reason to normalize the limb data, so it is only the full-disc continuum photograms and the Structure Program continuum products 07* that are normalized. | | | Variation in the quiet-sun continuum intensity measured by MDI appears to be dominated by uniform long-term trends in loss of instrument sensitivity and certain identifiable discontinuities from various causes. | | | Correcting the measured continuum intensity for these effects provides a dataset with long-term continuity and stability that can be used for sensitive photometric studies of the solar flux budget. |

| | The Communication Continuum |
| | In addition to the book The Information Continuum, she has published two articles on the evolution of language in the journal Language & Communication. | | | Signals are semantic if they provide listeners with information about objects and events in the environment; signals are representational if listeners create some kind of mental picture of the object or event eliciting the signal; signals are referential if they are reliably associated with objects and events in the world. | | | Thus information is a feature of an interaction (i.e., not an abstraction...) between sender and perceiver. |
