	Intensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, an intensive form of a word is one which denotes stronger or more forceful action as compared with the root on which the intensive is built.
		Intensives are usually lexical formations, but there may be a regular process for forming intensives from a base root.
		Intensive formations, for example, existed in Proto-Indo-European, and in many of the Semitic languages.

	NIH Press Release - Intensive Diabetes Treatment is Cost-Effective - 11/05/96 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Intensive diabetes treatment is cost-effective and improves length and quality of life for people with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM), according to an NIH study published in the November 6 Journal of the American Medical Association.
		Intensive treatment costs about $4500 per patient each year and requires three or four insulin injections as well as multiple tests for blood sugar daily to keep blood sugar as close to normal as possible.
		However, he cautions that intensive therapy must be carefully monitored by a knowledgeable physician since the treatment can double or triple the risk of severe low blood sugar, which can cause seizure and coma.

	THE CONSTRUCT THEORY OF RATIONAL NUMBERS: TOWARD A SEMANTIC ANALYSIS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Considering the quotient construct, a rational number is an extensive or intensive quantity according to whether the division of the numerator by the denominator is partitive or quotitive.
		Three-fourths as separate parts of a whole is 3(1/4-unit)s for a continuous quantity and is 3(1/4(4n-unit)-unit)s (i.e., three one-fourth-unit of units where each one-fourth-unit of units is a unitized one-fourth of a (4n-unit)) for a discrete quantity.
		The 3(1-unit)s of the measured quantity are unitized to a 1(3-unit) and the 3 matched [1/4-unit of the measurement quantity are unitized as 1[3/4-unit]s.

	Quantity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Quantity, of course, is a stage of the Idea: and as such it must have its due, first as a logical category, and then in the world of objects, natural as well as spiritual.
		As for the details of the advance from mere quantity to quantum, it is founded on this: that while in mere quantity the distinction, as a distinction of continuity and discreteness, is at first only implicit, in a quantum the distinction is actually made, so that quantity in general now appears as distinguished or limited.
		Intensive magnitude or Degree is in its notion distinct from Extensive magnitude or the Quantum.

		But, as regards the quantity of a thing (quantitas), that is to say, the answer to the question: "How large is this or that object?" although, in respect to this question, we have various propositions synthetical and immediately certain (indemonstrabilia); we have, in the proper sense of the term, no axioms.
		That is to say, the real in a phenomenon has always a quantity, which however is not discoverable in apprehension, inasmuch as apprehension take place by means of mere sensation in one instant, and not by the successive synthesis of many sensations, and therefore does not progress from parts to the whole.
		It is worthy of remark, that in respect to quantities in general, we can cognize a priori only a single quality, namely, continuity; but in respect to all quality (the real in phenomena), we cannot cognize a priori anything more than the intensive quantity thereof, namely, that they have a degree.

		His categories of Quantity are attempts to explain the nature of what is existent by the conception of quantities of existent Ones — the nature of each One being, as we saw in the last chapter, a simple and unique Quality.
		Quantity “is Quality itself, in such a way that outside this determination Quality as such is no longer anything.” That is to say, he holds that we have here reached a Synthesis of Quality and Quantity.

	Intensive quantity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In the natural sciences, an intensive quantity (also intensive variable) is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured.
		It is the counterpart of an extensive quantity.
		It follows, for example, that the ratio of two extensive quantities is an intensive quantity - density (intensive) is equal to mass (extensive) divided by volume (extensive).

	2. ANTICIPATIONS OF PERCEPTION.
		Accordingly, every sensation, consequently every reality in phenomena, however small it may be, has a degree, that is, an intensive quantity, which may always be lessened, and between reality and negation there exists a continuous connection of possible realities, and possible smaller perceptions.
		This property of quantities, according to which no part of them is the smallest possible (no part simple), is called their continuity.
		Such quantities may also be called flowing, because synthesis (of the productive imagination) in the production of these quantities is a progression in time, the continuity of which we are accustomed to indicate by the expression flowing.

	Continuity and Infinitesimals (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		The effect of “distributing” or “integrating” an intensive quantity over such an intensive magnitude is to convert the former into an infinitesimal extensive quantity: thus temperature is transformed into infinitesimal heat and density into infinitesimal mass.
		Grant that two quantities, whose difference is an infinitely small quantity, may be taken (or used) indifferently for each other: or (what is the same thing) that a quantity, which is increased or decreased only by an infinitely small quantity, may be considered as remaining the same.
		Intensive magnitudes are entirely free of the intuitions of space or time, and “can only be presented as unities”.

	Semantic Aspects of Quantity
		The process of assigning size to an adjectival quantity described by a count noun is an act we normally call counting, while the process of assigning size to some attribute of an entity described by a mass noun is the process we normally call measurement.
		Not apparent from the structure of continuous adjectival quantity, but nonetheless central to the measurement act is the need for a judgment to be made about the adequacy of the precision for the context at hand.
		In this case, when the referents of the two quantities are disjoint and there exists a superordinate class to which both referents belong, we can extend the operation of addition with nominal number to adjectival quantity in a straightforward fashion.

	The Critique of Pure Reason (54)
		Consequently, numerical quantities, and with them the determination of a phenomenon as a quantity, can be employed in the one case as well as in the other.
		And as this determination of time is, always and in all its parts, a quantity, the perception produced is to be considered as a quantity which proceeds through all its degrees—no one of which is the smallest possible—from zero up to its determined degree.
		In the same manner, the possibility of continuous quantities, indeed of quantities in general, for the conceptions of them are without exception synthetical, is never evident from the conceptions in themselves, but only when they are considered as the formal conditions of the determination of objects in experience.

		This conception of intensive magnitude seems, indeed, to be that of common sense, but we cannot advance it as a philosophical explanation without becoming involved in a vicious circle.
		We are thus led to believe that we translate the intensive into the extensive, and that we compare two intensities, or at least express the comparison, by the confused intuition of a relation between two extensities.
		We thus associate the idea of a certain quantity of cause with a certain quality of effect ; and finally, as happens in the case of every acquired perception, we transfer the idea into the sensation, the quantity of the cause into the quality of the effect.

		In the natural sciences, an extensive quantity (also extensive variable or extensive parameter) is a physical quantity, whose value is proportional to the size of the system it describes.
		Extensive quantities are the counterparts of intensive quantities, which are intrinsic to a particular subsystem and remain constant regardless of size.
		Dividing one type of extensive quantity by a different type of extensive quantity will in general give an intensive quantity (mass divided by volume gives density).
