In digital systems (i.e., using discrete discontinuous values) with binary code, 1 Bd 1 bit s.

It cannot be a Baire class 1 function because a Baire class 1 function can only be discontinuous on a meagre set.

Paradoxically, the apparently discontinuous and contradictory nature of the era of reform and opening may actually help explain how China s boom came about.

Morgan found many of the most interesting changes in living things have been largely discontinuous with past evolution, and therefore did not necessarily take place through a gradual process of natural selection.

The physical explanation for the existence of the evanescent wave is that the electric and magnetic fields (or pressure gradients, in the case of acoustical waves) cannot be discontinuous at a boundary, as would be the case if there was no evanescent wave field.
