Surveys spanning a >1 km long section of the beach as well as observations from an ARGUS video camera system showed that gently sloping shoreline salients (megacusps) were highly stable in position and displayed only minor slope adjustments through the storm period, whereas steeply sloping embayments were eroded significantly.
On the basis of this study, five levels of TE were set: 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4. The value of 0.5 is attributed to relatively flat areas where landslides may develop only on minor slopes or bluffs (e.g., for the 1811 1812 New Madrid earthquake zone).
With a minor exception, the slopes are always positive and, surprisingly, the slopes most similar to those from coding regions are the non-genic ones, not the intronic ones.
Comparatively, the slope angle and relative compaction had only a minor contribution to the slope hydrology.
Adding an intercept term had only a minor effect on the slope parameter.
However, in advanced stages of CKD, the nature of primary renal disease has only a minor influence on the slope of eGFR decrease [ 31].
No, we're on the slope of a minor mountain, in the dark, wondering what in hell we've signed ourselves up for, and how's it all going to play.
It was perched on the slope of a minor mountain, about a third of the way up, with thick slabs of rock stuck under the front side, a new rock every year, to keep the house from tumbling forward into the fields of wild raspberries.
Consistent with this notion we observed only a minor increase in the rising slope of the action potential, a parameter that reflects the density of Na+ channels [41].
Richardson, for example, died last year of a brain hemorrhage after what initially appeared to be a minor fall on a beginner's slope at Mont Tremblant in Canada.
For the limited range of values considered, the slope angle has only a minor impact on the computed results.
