Example A paramedic may be treating a burn victim in the field, and has already given the maximum amount of narcotic painkiller allowed without physician s permission. The paramedic will attempt to contact his or her base station hospital and ask for further instructions, to provide the patient with pain relief. There are two different types of Medical Direction. Direct Medical Direction, often called On Line Medical Direction, where care is rendered under direct orders of the Base Station Physician, usually over the radio or telephone.

In mathematics , a direction vector that describes a line geometry line segment D is any vector geometric vector math overrightarrow AB math where math A math and math B math are two distinct points on the line D . If v is a direction vector for D , so is k v for any nonzero scalar mathematics scalar k and these are in fact all of the direction vectors for the line D . Under some definitions, the direction vector is required to be a unit vector, in which case each line has exactly two direction vectors, which are negatives of each other equal in magnitude, opposite in direction . Direction vector for a line in R sup 2 sup Any line in two dimensional Euclidean space can be described as the set of solutions to an equation of the form math ax by c 0 math where a , b , c are real number s. Then one direction vector of math D math is math a,b math . Any multiple of math a,b math is also a direction vector. For example, suppose the equation of a line is math 3x 2y 15 0 math . Then math 3,2 math , math 6,4 math , and math 3, 2 math are all direction vectors for this line. Parametric equation for a line In Euclidean space any number of dimensions , given a point a and a nonzero vector v , a line is defined parametric equation parametrically by a t v , where the parameter t varies between and .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In signal processing literature, direction of arrival denotes the direction from which usually a wave propagation propagating wave arrives at a point, where usually a set of sensors are located. This set of sensors forms what is called a sensor array. Often there is the associated technique of beamforming which is estimating the signal from a given direction. Various engineering problems addressed in the associated literature are Find the direction relative to the array where the underwater sound source is located. Direction of different sound sources around you are also located by you using a process similar to those used by the algorithms in the literature. Radio telescopes use these techniques to look at a certain location in the sky. Recently beamforming has also been used in Radio frequency RF applications such as wireless communication. Compared with the spatial diversity techniques, beamforming is preferred in terms of complexity. On the other hand beamforming in general has much lower data rates. In multiple access channels CDMA , FDMA , Time division multiple access TDMA , beamforming is necessary and sufficient.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Screen direction is a term used in film editing motion picture and video editing video post production editing and refers to an underlying concept of cinematic grammar which involves the direction that actors or objects appear to be moving on the screen from the perspective visual point of view of the camera or audience. A rule of film editing is that movement from one edited shot to another must maintain the consistency of screen direction in order to avoid audience confusion. Camera left or frame left indicates movement towards the relative direction left side of the screen, while camera right or frame right refers to movement towards the relative direction right side of the screen. Foreground refers to the apparent space close to the camera and thus to the audience , while background refers to the apparent space in the distance away from the camera and the audience. As an example of screen direction in use, if an actor is shown in one shot walking from screen left to screen right, and then shown in the immediately following shot to be moving in the opposite direction screen right to screen left , the audience will assume that the actor has changed direction and is walking back to where he started in the absence of obvious contextual or environmental cues .

Spiritual direction is the practice of being with people as they attempt to deepen their relationship with the divinity divine , or to learn and grow in their own personal spirituality .

The director listens and asks questions to assist the directee in his or her process of Introspection reflection and spiritual growth. Spiritual direction develops a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. It is not psychotherapy , counseling, or financial planning.

During these daily meetings, exercises or spiritual disciplines such as lectio divina are given to the directee as fodder to continue his or her spiritual growth.
