  Intrusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intrusive rocks include all varieties of igneous rocks from coarse-grained, phaneritic granites of large batholiths to very fine grained, aphanitic, rhyolites in volcanic necks or feeder pipes.
In composition, intrusive rocks also include the entire sequence of igneous rock types from the dense and dark ultramafic peridotites to the very light-colored and low-density alkali granites and syenites.
Intrusive rocks also exist in a wide range of forms from mountain range sized batholiths to thin vein-like fracture fillings of aplite.

 Intrusive-Freshmen
of an intrusive model that identified students on probation at the end of their first semester and contracted with them for specific strategies of academic assistance resulted in a statistically significant improvement three semesters later in grades and in persistence as compared to a control sample (Earl, 1987).
In this case, as in most intrusive advising, students were contacted at the point of crisis (receiving probationary letters from the dean), and offered options for help (hot line, specific advisor availability).
Intrusive advising has been shown to improve the effectiveness of advising, enhance student academic skills and increase retention.

 Behavioral Medicine: Intrusive Thoughts and Psychological Distress Among Breast Cancer Survivors: Global Meaning as a ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Intrusive thoughts have been conceptualized as one mechanism through which a stressful event can have a continuing impact on an individual's level of psychological distress, even long after the event has occurred.[1-3] Intrusive thoughts may take the form of recurrent, uncontrollable memories, dreams, or flashbacks about an event.
For example, Epping-Jordan and colleagues[20] found that the correlation between intrusive thoughts, measured with the Impact of Events scale (IES),[21] and psychological distress, assessed with the Global Symptom Index of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-GSI)[22] was modest (r =.34) in a sample of cancer patients with varying diagnoses and disease stages.
We used the intrusive thoughts subscale of the IES, instructing the patients to respond to each item in reference to "cancer and its treatment" and to report how frequently each statement was true for them in the past 3 weeks.

If intrusive data structures could not be implemented with templates, their applicability would be severely limited.
Intrusive data structures naturally handle bi-directional access, and the design of general hierarchies, trees, graphs, or many-to-many relations are logical and simple.
Intrusive data structures are highly efficient, and are a better choice in many situations.

Some of the most prevalant igneous features in the park are intrusive.
Many of the resulting intrusive features can be seen today as a result of erosional processes carrying away the overlying sedimentary rocks.
Laccoliths, dikes, sills, and volcanic necks are many of the intrusive features that can be seen throughout the park, most of which can be viewed while driving on the park's highways.

Mapping in the eastern end of the district has identified bodies of intrusive rhyodacite porphyry, intrusive breccia, and blow-out breccia in the vicinity of the old Wirepatch mine, an area mapped previously as exclusively quartz monzonite porphyry.
Propylitic alteration of rock occurs near the margins of the area, and in the vicinity and to the east of the exposed intrusive rocks, the rocks have been affected by phyllic alteration.
The presence of the intrusive rocks coupled with the pervasive hydrothermal alteration and the high trace-metal concentrations suggest that the area encompassing the Wirepatch mine may contain near-surface sulfide and precious metal deposits in addition to those already exploited.

There is a strict regime governing the use of the most highly intrusive investigative techniques available to us.
To install an eavesdropping device in a target's home, for example, we need to apply to the Secretary of State for a warrant under Part II of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) to authorise the intrusion on the privacy of the target.

One of the most significant accomplishments of the intrusive inspections mandated by UN Security Council in 1991 is that Iraq is not believed to have nuclear weapons now.
The table and graph compare the current situation of no nuclear weapons with two hypothetical cases, or scenarios, in which intrusive inspections did not occur in Iraq during the 1990s.
Following the departure of inspectors in 1998, Iraq is assessed to have reconstituted its nuclear weapons program, but it has not succeeded in making or acquiring enough highly enriched uranium or plutonium for a nuclear weapon yet.

 Visuospatial tasks during trauma may reduce intrusive memories of that event
Spontaneously occurring intrusive memories of a traumatic event — flashbacks -- are a hallmark of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Finally, the possible buffering effect of visuospatial tasks may also extend to the treatment of psychological disorders other than PTSD that are now also thought to involve intrusive imagery, such as worry (generalized anxiety disorder), insomnia, social phobia, agoraphobia, psychosis and others.

 Intrusive emotional memories make rats forget recently learned information, USF/VA researchers find
Woodson, a USF postdoctoral fellow, and David Diamond, PhD, a USF associate professor of psychology, pharmacology and therapeutics, study long-term intrusive emotional memories in rats to better understand the neurobiology of this critical component of PTSD.
"Intrusive memories are one of the cruelest aspects of post-traumatic stress disorder because people live in constant fear of these memories resurfacing," Dr. Diamond said.
Using the animal model, Dr. Diamond and Dr. Woodson are continuing to investigate how the hippocampus, as well as other brain regions involved in emotional trauma, such as the amygdala, are affected by intrusive memories.

Intrusive thoughts are difficult to control, it's learning to not try to control them that helps a lot.
I think it's easiest to "control" intrusive thoughts when you don't care if you have them, the power you give them when you get upset over it fuels them even more.

 Smart Pointer Timings
In late January 2000, Mark Borgerding put forward a suggestion to boost for a new design of smart pointer whereby an intrusive doubly linked list is used to join together all instances of smart pointers sharing a given raw pointer.
The initial allocation time for the contained pointer is not included, although the time for it's deallocation is. The contained pointer pointed to a trivial class, but for the inclusion of an intrusive reference count for the benefit of the intrusive counted shared pointer.
The timing results mainly speak for themselves: clearly an intrusive pointer outperforms all others and a simple heap based counted pointer has poor performance relative to other implementations.

 Rediff On The NeT: India rejects G-8's 'coercive, intrusive prescriptions'
India has accused the G-8 countries of advising ''coercive and intrusive prescriptions'' instead of seriously considering its positive proposals for dialogue on issues of common concern.
Referring to the G-8 interest in the welfare and economic growth of South Asia, he said, ''These professions are inconsistent with the actions threatened in the joint communique'' issued by these countries after their meeting in London on Friday.
The spokesman said, ''Coercive and intrusive prescriptions are not only ill-advised but also counter-productive.'' He regretted that the G-8 communique had not taken into account India's positive gestures but ''has instead repeated unrealistic prescriptions couched in the language of pressure''.
