Discontinuous

Arabic has a nonconcatenative "root-and-pattern" morphology: A root consists of a set of bare consonants (usually three ), which are fitted into a discontinuous pattern to form words.

At high latitudes, north of the main zone of boreal forest or taiga, growing conditions are not adequate to maintain a continuous closed forest cover, so tree cover is both sparse and discontinuous.

By contrast, if M(t) denotes the amount of money in a bank account at time t, then the function jumps at each point in time when money is deposited or withdrawn, so the function M(t) is discontinuous.

Discontinuous and SSV (super-heated steam) use atmosphere pressure to introduce heat into the kiln charge.

Discontinuous derivative If the derivative is not continuous at the root, then convergence may fail to occur in any neighborhood of the root.

Discontinuous permafrost depth had decreased from 200 m to 100 m during the same period.

For a properly discontinuous action, cocompactness is equivalent to compactness of the quotient space X/G.

Furthermore, the low brass often use extra valves to extend their range uniformly, since the fundamental is chromatically discontinuous with the lowest 2nd harmonic reachable on a three-valve instrument or via the seven-position slide on a trombone.

However, Lorenz curves representing discontinuous functions can be constructed as the limit of Lorenz curves of probability distributions, the line of perfect inequality being an example.

In this way gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which the solid is the continuous phase and the liquid is the discontinuous phase.

It predicts that the phase transition can be either continuous or discontinuous depending on the strength of the short-range interaction between the molecules.

It was also a discontinuous empire because not all dominated territories were connected; for example, the southern peripheral zones of Xoconochco were not in direct contact with the center.

Light sources with discontinuous spectra, such as fluorescent tubes, cannot be fully corrected in printing either, since one of the layers may barely have recorded an image at all.

Moreover, a function ƒ defined on a bounded interval is Riemann-integrable if and only if it is bounded and the set of points where f is discontinuous has Lebesgue measure zero.

Morgan found many of the most interesting changes in living things have been largely discontinuous with past evolution.

Most of Mongolia is covered by discontinuous permafrost (grading to continuous at high altitudes), which makes construction, road building, and mining difficult.

Nevertheless, in the theory of topological vector spaces the terms "continuous dual space" and "topological dual space" are often replaced by "dual space", since there is no serious need to consider discontinuous maps in this field.

Over land, continuous permafrost is shown in a dark pink while discontinuous permafrost is shown in a lighter shade of pink.

Pillow lava is a common eruptive product of submarine volcanoes and is characterized by thick sequences of discontinuous pillow-shaped masses which form under water.

Since the late 20th century Post-classical editing has seen faster editing styles with nonlinear, discontinuous action.
