Examples of extension in the following topics:

  • Brands and Brand Lines

    • Another form of brand extension is a licensed brand extension.
    • For example, Diet Coke™ is a line extension of the parent brand Coke ™.
    • Brand line extensions do present two potential main threats.
    • Additionally, there is potential for intra-firm competition between the parent product and the line extension or between two or more line extensions.
    • Diet Coke is a brand line extension of the Coca Cola Brand.
  • Primer Extension Analysis

    • Primer extension is used to map the 5' ends of DNA or RNA fragments.
    • Primer extension is a technique whereby the 5' ends of RNA or DNA can be mapped.
    • Primer extension can be used to determine the start site of RNA transcription for a known gene.
    • Primer extension analysis has three main applications.
    • For instance, the sites of modifications by dimethyl sulfate (DMS) can be identified by treating DNA with DMS, exposing the sample to conditions that break the backbone at the site of modification, followed by primer extension.
  • Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter

    • Properties of matter can be classified as either extensive or intensive and as either physical or chemical.
    • All properties of matter are either extensive or intensive and either physical or chemical.
    • Both extensive and intensive properties are physical properties, which means they can be measured without changing the substance's chemical identity.
    • Mass and volume are both examples of extensive physical properties.
    • Recognize the difference between physical and chemical, and intensive and extensive, properties
  • Product life extension

  • Resource extension is not just for manufacturers

    • Seen this way, examples of resource extension can also involve:
  • Dermatomes

  • Examples

    • The {\it periodic extension} of $f(x) = x$ must therefore have a sort of sawtooth appearance.
    • Figure~\ref{sawtooth} shows the periodic extension of the function $f(x) = x$ relative to the interval $[0,1]$.
    • It's a potentially confusing fact that the same function will give rise to different periodic extensions on different intervals.
    • What would the periodic extension of $f(x) = x$ look like relative to the interval $[-.5,.5]$?
  • Hooke's Law

    • Hooke's law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load applied to it.
    • It states: the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load applied to it .
    • Hooke's law is named after the 17th century British physicist Robert Hooke, and was first stated in 1660 as a Latin anagram, whose solution Hooke published in 1678 as Ut tensio, sic vis, meaning, "As the extension, so the force."
    • The extension of the spring is linearly proportional to the force.
  • Functions of Several Variables

    • Multivariable calculus is the extension of calculus in one variable to calculus in more than one variable.
    • Multivariable calculus (also known as multivariate calculus) is the extension of calculus in one variable to calculus in more than one variable : the differentiated and integrated functions involve multiple variables, rather than just one.
  • Earlier Version of Cognitive Tools

    • The authors of the current chapter decided that they wanted to write a new chapter rather than an extensive edit of the old one.
