directional terms

Examples of directional terms in the following topics:

• Directional Terms

  • Positional terms give precise descriptions of anatomical relationships and allow for consistency when referencing anatomical positions.
  • Directional terms provide precise descriptions of a structure's location.
  • Standard anatomical terms for direction include:
  • Identify the anatomical terms that define the human body in space

• Regional Terms and Axes

  • Regional directional terms include anterior and posterior, dorsal and ventral, and lateral and medial.
  • Two primary terms are used to describe the main regions of the body:
  • These are the two basic categories of regional terms; however, many other terms are used to describe smaller regions within the axial and appendicular regions.
  • Many types of axes can give regional direction.
  • Any pair of corresponding directional terms can be combined to form an axis (such as proximal-distal for an appendage).

• Force at an Angle to Displacement

  • This expression contains an assumed cosine term, which we do not consider for forces parallel to the direction of motion.
  • If the angle of the force along the direction of motion is zero, such that the force is parallel to the direction of motion, then the cosine term equals one and does not change the expression.
  • This process continues until we are perpendicular to our original direction of motion, such that the angle is 90, and the cosine term would equal zero; resulting in zero work being done along our original direction .
  • Let's show this explicitly and then look at this phenomena in terms of a box moving along the x and y directions.
  • When the angle is 90 degrees, the cosine term goes to zero.

• Mass marketing, direct marketing, and Internet marketing

  • Mass marketing is distinguished from direct marketing in terms of the distance between the manufacturer and the ultimate user of the product.
  • A mass marketer, such as Nike, has very little direct contact with its customers and must distribute its product through various retail outlets alongside its competitors.
  • Also, modern mechanisms for collecting and processing accurate mailing lists have greatly increased the effectiveness of direct marketing.
  • Penney), telecommunications companies (Sprint), and direct mail companies (Publishers Clearing House) are example of direct marketers.
  • A modified type of direct marketing is represented by companies that allow ordering of product by calling a toll-free number or mailing in an order card as part of an advertisement.

• Ampere's Law: Magnetic Field Due to a Long Straight Wire

  • In this equation, the r vector can be written as r̂ (the unit vector in direction of r), if the r3 term in the denominator is reduced to r2 (this is simply reducing like terms in a fraction).
  • As illustrated in the direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right hand rule—pointing one's thumb in the direction of current, the curl of one's fingers indicates the direction of the magnetic field around the straight wire.
  • The direction of the magnetic field can be determined by the right hand rule.

• Direct Variation

  • When two variables change proportionally to each other, they are said to be in direct variation.
  • Direct variation is easily illustrated using a linear graph.
  • Graph of direct variation with the linear equation y=0.8x.
  • The line y=kx is an example of direct variation between variables x and y.
  • Notice what happens when you change the "k" term.

• Direct Techniques

  • Lobbyists employ direct lobbying in the United States to influence United States legislative bodies through direct interaction with legislators.
  • Direct lobbying is different from grassroots lobbying, a process that uses direct communication with the general public, who in turn contact and influence the government.
  • Direct lobbying is often used alongside grassroots lobbying.
  • Revolving door is a term used to describe the cycling of former federal employees into jobs as lobbyists, while former lobbyists are pulled into government positions.
  • Government officials with term limits form valuable connections that could help influence future law-making even when they are out of office.

• Constant Velocity

  • An object moving with constant velocity must have a constant speed in a constant direction.
  • Constant direction constrains the object to motion to a straight path.
  • In graphical terms, the velocity can be interpreted as the slope of the line.
  • This tells us in which direction the object moves.
  • Examine the terms for constant velocity and how they apply to acceleration

• Online Direct Banks

  • A direct bank is a bank without any branch network.
  • Direct banks were originally based on providing banking services via telephone.
  • One of the world's first fully functional direct banks was First Direct, which launched in the United Kingdom on October 1, 1989.
  • First Direct pioneered the concepts of no branches and 24-hour service from a call center.
  • As the Internet became more generally accessible, traditional banks began to realize their potential to deliver services to their customers while reducing long-term operational costs.

• Direct and Indirect Measurement

  • When it comes to financial reporting activities, the statement of cash flows is a useful tool when it comes to understanding a business's liquidity and available short-term cash and cash equivalent assets.
  • In layman's terms, the statement of cash flows identifies what resources a business can use relatively quickly.
  • projects future cash flow expectations in terms of quantity and timing,
  • Some common items on a direct cash flow report include:
  • This is a simple direct monthly cash flow statement from a small business.
