Notability date March 2009 The Uralic ContinuityTheory is a theory about the Uralic languages developed by a group of archaeologists and linguists Who date March 2009 starting in the 1970s. Suggests that the Uralic speaking populations have an uninterrupted history of settlement in their present locations since the Mesolithic . Their precursor populations would have occupied mid eastern Europe in the last glacial maximum and in the Mesolithic would have followed the retreating ice, eventually settling in their present territories. The theory questions the validity of the chronology for the many Uralic loanwords from the contiguous Indo European languages Indo European and Turkic languages . Clarify me date March 2009 Mario Alinei has built on this theory for the purposes of his PaleolithicContinuityTheory of Indo European origins. References reflist Literature Meinder C, 1973.

In probability theory , if a random variable X has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p , i.e., X is distributed as the number of successes in n independent Bernoulli trial s with probability p of success on each trial, then math P X leq x P X x 1 math for any x 0, 1, 2, ... n . If np and n 1 &minus p are large sometimes taken to mean 5 , then the probability above is fairly well approximated by math P Y leq x 1 2 math where Y is a normal distribution normally distributed random variable with the same expected value and the same variance as X , i.e., E Y np and var Y np 1 &minus p . This addition of 1 2 to x is a continuity correction . A continuity correction can also be applied when other discrete distributions supported on the integers are approximated by the normal distribution. For example, if X has a Poisson distribution with expected value then the variance of X is also , and math P X leq x P X x 1 approx P Y leq x 1 2 math if Y is normally distributed with expectation and variance both . Applications Before the ready availability of statistical software having the ability to evaluate probability distribution functions accurately, continuity corrections played an important role in the practical application of statistical hypothesis test statistical tests in which the test statistic has a discrete distribution it was a special importance for manual calculations. A particular example of this is the binomial test , involving the binomial distribution , as in checking whether a coin is fair . Where extreme accuracy is not necessary, computer calculations for some ranges of parameters may still rely on using continuity corrections to improve accuracy while retaining simplicity.

Orphan date February 2009 IT Service Continuity is a specific form of business continuity planning . It is the process of assessing and managing risks associated with information technology IT departments. It involves the evaluation of values, threats, risk s, vulnerabilities and development of countermeasures to ensure continuation in the event of a disaster. This terminology is mainly used in Corporate America . In 2008 the BSI Group British Standards Institution launched a specific standard connected and supporting the Business Continuity Standard BS 25999 titled BS25777 specifically to align ICT Service Continuity with Business Continuity. The two standards can be implemented separately.

In electronics , a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current electricity current flows that it is in fact a complete circuit . A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage wired in series with an LED or noise producing component such as a Loudspeakers Piezoelectric speakers piezoelectric speaker across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive electrical resistance resistance , the circuit is open . Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multimeter s which measure current and specialized continuity tester s which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a simple light bulb that lights up when current flows. An important application is the continuity test of a bundle of wires so as to find the two ends belonging to a particular one of these wires there will be a negligible resistance between the right ends, and only between the right ends.

Orphan date February 2009 In the healthcare industry, information continuity is the process by which information relevant to a patient s care is made available to both the patient and the provider at the right place and the right time, to facilitate ongoing health care management and continuity of care. This is an extension of the concept of Continuity of Care, which is defined by the http www.aafp.org American Academy of Family Physicians in their http www.aafp.org x6694.xml Continuity of Care definition as the process by which the patient and the physician are cooperatively involved in ongoing health care management toward the goal of high quality, cost effective medical care. There is a non Information Technology reference to Informational continuity ref cite journal author Haggerty JL, Reid RJ, Freeman GK, Starfield BH, Adair CE, McKendry R title Continuity of care a multidisciplinary review journal BMJ volume 327 issue 7425 pages 1219 21 year 2003 month November pmid 14630762 pmc 274066 doi 10.1136 bmj.327.7425.1219 url http bmj.com cgi pmidlookup?view long&pmid 14630762 ref the use of information on past events and personal circumstances to make current care appropriate for each individual. This exists with Management continuity and Relational continuity. Information continuity in the information technology sense may exist alongside physical care continuity, such as when a medical chart arrives with a patient to the hospital. Information continuity may also be separate, such as when a patient s electronic records are sent to a treating physician before the patient arrives at a care site. Creating information continuity in health care typically involves the use of health information technology to link systems using standards. Information continuity will become more and more important as patients in health care systems expect that their treating physicians have all of their medical information across the health care spectrum. This use of this term in health information ... more details
