  2. Use of force continuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_force_continuum

    While the specific progression of force varies considerably (especially the wide gap between empty hand control and deadly force) among different agencies and jurisdictions, one example of a general use of force continuum model cited in a U.S. government publication on use of force is shown below. [5]

    For the English law on the use of force in crime prevention, see Self-defence in English law.The Australian position on the use of troops for civil policing is set out by Michael Head in Calling Out the Troops: Disturbing Trends and Unanswered Questions; [4] compare "Use of Deadly Force by the South African Police Services Re-visited" [5] by Malebo Keebine-Sibanda and Omphemetse Sibanda.

    For example, construction professionals cannot remove the danger of asbestos when handling the hazardous agent is the core of the task. [3] The most effective control measure is eliminating the hazard and its associated risks entirely. The simplest way to do this is by not introducing the hazard in the first place.

  5. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    The continuum assumption; For example, the assumption that mass is conserved means that for any fixed control volume (for example, a spherical volume)—enclosed by a control surface—the rate of change of the mass contained in that volume is equal to the rate at which mass is passing through the surface from outside to inside, minus the rate ...

  6. Wave model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_model

    The tree model requires languages to evolve exclusively through social splitting and linguistic divergence. In the “tree” scenario, the adoption of certain innovations by a group of dialects should result immediately in their loss of contact with other related dialects: this is the only way to explain the nested organisation of subgroups imposed by the tree structure.

  9. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the deformation of and transmission of forces through materials modeled as a continuous medium (also called a continuum) rather than as discrete particles. Continuum mechanics deals with deformable bodies, as opposed to rigid bodies. A continuum model assumes that the substance of the ...
