River Continuum Concept. The River Continuum Concept (RCC) is a model for classifying and describing flowing water, in addition to the classification of individual sections of waters after the occurrence of indicator organisms. [1] The theory is based on the concept of dynamic equilibrium in which streamforms balance between physical parameters ...
The metaphor " stream of consciousness " suggests how thoughts seem to flow through the conscious mind. Research studies have shown that humans only experience one mental event at a time as a fast-moving mind-stream.

This is a demonstration of the Coandă effect. The ball "sticks" to the lower side of the air stream, which stops the ball from falling down. The jet as a whole keeps the ball some distance from the jet exhaust, and gravity prevents it from being blown away. The Coandă effect (/ ˈkwɑːndə / or / ˈkwæ -/) is the tendency of a fluid jet to ...
