In plate tectonics , a convergentboundary , also known as a destructive plate boundary because of subduction , is an actively deforming region where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the Mantle geology mantle , earthquakes and volcano es are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision . This depends on the nature of the plates involved. In a subduction zone, the subducting plate, which is normally a plate with oceanic crust, moves beneath the other plate, which can be made of either oceanic or continental crust.

multiple issues context October 2010 unreferenced October 2010 Convergent validity , is the degree to which an operation is similar to converges on other operations that it theoretically should also be similar to. For instance, to show the convergent validity of a test of mathematics skills, the scores on the test can be correlated with scores on other tests that are also designed to measure basic mathematics ability. High correlations between the test scores would be evidence of a convergent validity. Convergent validity shows that the assessment is related to what it should theoretically be related to. It is ideal that scales rate high in discriminant validity as well, which unlike convergent validity is designed to measure the extent to which a given scale differs from other scales designed to measure a different conceptual variable. Discriminant validity and convergent validity are the two good ways to measure construct validity. The validity of a measure ought to be gauged by comparing it to measures of the same concept developed through other methods.

one source date November 2011 Convergent Technologies was an American computer company formed by a small group of people who left Intel Intel Corporation and PARC company Xerox PARC in 1979. Convergent Technologies first product was the IWS Integrated Workstation tower based on the Intel 8086 . The next product was a cost reduced desktop version called the AWS Advanced Workstation . Both of these workstations ran in an RS 422 clustered environment under a proprietary operating system known as Convergent Technologies Operating System CTOS . In 1982, Convergent formed a new division to focus on a multi processor computer known as the MegaFrame . The MegaFrame ran a UNIX System III UNIX System 3 derived operating system called CTIX on multiple Motorola 68010 processors. Three other I O processor boards could also be place in the system, the File Processor , the Cluster Processor , and the Terminal Processor . All I O processor boards were based on the Intel 80186 and ran a scaled down version of CTOS . Convergent later used the Motorola 68010 in their MiniFrame, and later Motorola 68020 and Motorola 68040 68040 processors in their VME based MightyFrame systems, all also running CTIX . Supplanting the IWS was the AWS Advanced Workstation which itself was replaced by the NGEN New or Next Generation workstation and used by Prime Computer as a word processing workstation The Prime Producer ... books?id cTwEAAAAMBAJ&pg PA34 Convergent also developed the first Motorola 68010 OEM UNIX product ...

In chemistry a convergent synthesis is a strategy that aims to improve the efficiency of multi step chemical synthesis , most often in organic synthesis . In linear synthesis the overall chemical yield yield quickly drops with each reaction step A B C D Suppose the yield is 50 for each reaction, the overall yield of D is only 12.5 from A. In a convergent synthesis A B 50 C D 50 B D E 25 the overall yield of E 25 looks much better.

It is the period in the development of any given medium when, having converged all prior media within itself, it ceases to be used to solely recreate these prior media and starts to be used for creating work that is only possible in the new medium. Marshall McLuhan famously said that any new medium contains all prior media within it. ref name McLuhan cite journal author Marshall McLuhan title Understanding Media The Extensions of Man publisher Routledge, New York year 2001 ref He later gives an example of instant replay in television broadcasts of American football.

Unreferenced date August 2009 Convergent and divergent production are the two types of human response to a set problem that were identified by J.P. Guilford 1967 . Guilford observed that most individuals display a preference for either convergent or divergent thinking. Others observe that most people prefer a convergent closure. Citation needed date August 2009 As opposed to TRIZ or lateral thinking divergent thinking is not about tools for creativity or thinking, but a way of categorizing what can be observed. Divergent thinking According to J.P. Guilford , divergent or synthetic thinking is the ability to draw on ideas from across disciplines and fields of inquiry to reach a deeper understanding of the world and one s place in it. There is a movement in education that maintains divergent thinking might create more resourceful students. Rather than presenting a series of problems for rote memorization or resolution, divergent thinking presents open ended problems and encourages students to develop their own solutions to problems. Divergent production is the creativity creative generation of multiple answers to a set problem. For example, find uses for 1 meter lengths of black cotton . Convergent thinking Convergent thinking is oriented towards deriving the single best or correct answer to a clearly defined question.

A convergent is one of a sequence of values obtained by evaluating successive truncations of a continued fraction . ref harvtxt Long 1972 p 177 ref ref harvtxt Pettofrezzo Byrkit 1970 p 162 ref The n th convergent is also known as the n th approximant of a continued fraction. ref SpringerEOM id C c025540 title Continued fraction first V.I. last Nechaev ref Representation of real numbers Every real number can be expressed as a continued fraction regular continued fraction in canonical form . Each convergent of that continued fraction is in a sense the best possible rational approximation to that real number, for a given number of digits. Such a convergent is usually about as accurate as a finite decimal expansion having as many digits as the total number of digits in the n th numerator and n th denominator. For example, the third convergent 333 106 for Pi is roughly 3.1415094, which is not quite as accurate as the 6 digit 3.14159 the fourth convergent 355 113 3.14159292 is more accurate than the 6 digit decimal.

unreferenced date July 2008 A non convergent discourse NCD is a discourse in which the participants do not accommodate on the language level, which results in the use of different languages. Alternative names for this phenomenon are asymmetric and bilingual discourse. The term was introduced by the sociologist Reitze Jonkman. He distinguishes two motivations for people to engage in an NCD Insufficient active knowledge of the other participants language, combined with a good passive knowledge. It usually takes longer for a person learning a foreign language to speak it fluently than to understand it when it is being spoken. This type of NCD is common in the Germanic languages Germanic languages of the Scandinavia n Nordic countries Nordic region of Europe, where the differences between Swedish language Swedish , Norwegian language Norwegian , and Danish language Danish are relatively small, and do not necessarily obstruct use of the participants native languages. The same occurs between speakers of Dutch language Dutch and Afrikaans language Afrikaans and to a lesser degree between speakers of Italian language Italian and Spanish language Spanish , Portuguese language Portuguese and Spanish language Spanish and their respective variants , where it is also possible to understand what the other person is saying as long as it is said slowly as such between residents of Spain and Portugal as well as between residents of Brazil and neighboring Spanish speaking countries . Also, it is possible among speakers of various South Slavic languages. For instance, a Serbian tourist in Macedonia or Bulgaria will often be able to communicate with locals without ever having studied Bulgarian or Macedonian.
