Oriented Surfaces

2026
A surface is called orientable if a consistent choice of unit normal vector can be made at every point on the surface. A thin soap film stretched across a wire loop provides a familiar example. The film separates the air on one side from the air on the other, so one side can be selected as positive and the opposite side as negative. Once this choice is made, a unit normal vector can be assigned smoothly across the entire surface.At each point on the soap film, a unit normal vector points...

Private Goods and Common Resources

Private Goods are products that can be purchased and consumed by an individual, and it is relatively easy to prevent others from using the same product. This is due to two defining characteristics of these goods: rivalry and excludability. Rivalry means that when one person uses or consumes the good, it reduces the ability of others to use it. For instance, if someone buys and eats a loaf of bread, no one else can eat that same loaf. Excludability refers to the idea that individuals can be...

Location and Orientation of the Heart

2024
The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

Determining Spatial Orientation of Rock Layers with the Brunton Compass

2023
Source: Laboratory of Alan Lester - University of Colorado Boulder Most rock units exhibit some form of planar surfaces or linear features. Examples include bedding-, fault-, fracture-, and joint-surfaces, and various forms of foliation and mineral alignment. The spatial orientation of these features form the critical raw data used to constrain models addressing the origin and subsequent deformation of rock units. Although now over 100 years since its invention and introduction, the Brunton...

2013
A methodology to estimate ventricular fiber orientations from in vivo images of patient heart geometries for personalized modeling is described. Validation of the methodology performed using normal and failing canine hearts demonstrate that that there are no significant differences between estimated and acquired fiber orientations at a clinically observable level.
FAQs
They direct attention toward abilities, relationships, motivations, and environmental supports that can make effective action more likely. This information helps practitioners reinforce behaviors that already show promise while addressing barriers that interfere with performance. The approach can therefore connect individual strengths with supportive contexts, promoting engagement, self-efficacy, resilience, and more sustained behavioral change.
Behavior is shaped not only by personal abilities and motivation but also by relationships and surrounding conditions. Resource-oriented strategies examine these influences to identify supports that can strengthen effective action or reduce obstacles. Considering the environment helps tailor behavioral interventions to individual needs rather than treating change as solely a matter of personal effort.
Positive feedback highlights effective behavior and can strengthen a person’s recognition of existing capabilities. Reinforcement is used to increase behaviors that support adaptive action, while collaborative goals provide a direction for applying those behaviors. Together, these elements help maintain engagement and encourage progress without making deficits or problems the sole focus of intervention.
A deficit-focused approach primarily organizes intervention around problems, limitations, or barriers. Resource-oriented strategies still recognize barriers, but they also assess abilities, relationships, motivations, and contextual supports that can be developed. This broader perspective can produce more individualized goals and link behavior change to resources that help people sustain effective action in educational, clinical, or community settings.
Application begins by assessing available personal, social, and environmental resources alongside barriers to effective behavior. Practitioners then collaborate with the individual to establish goals, identify behaviors to strengthen, and select relevant supports. Positive feedback and reinforcement are applied as progress occurs, allowing the strategy to remain connected to the person’s needs and circumstances.
They are relevant when practitioners or researchers want to support engagement, self-efficacy, resilience, or sustained change across educational, clinical, and community settings. Their flexible focus on individual abilities and contextual supports allows interventions to be tailored rather than uniformly applied. They are especially useful when relationships, motivation, or environmental conditions influence whether adaptive behavior can continue.
