If the curve is a section of a surface (that is, the curve formed by the intersection of a plane with the surface), then the curvature of the surface at any given point can be determined by suitable sectioning planes.
Methods such as state space reconstruction and sections-of-surface can reveal information implicit in the nonlinear equations.
The average speed of a vehicle is S. We assume the random variable N that defines the number of vehicles in a road section of surface x.
The probability that there are n vehicles in a road section of surface (x) is given by P N ( x ) = n = x S λ n n ! e - λ x S (1).
The consequence is that a section of the dorsal surface of the embryo comes to lie on the ventral surface of the tail; i.e., becomes inflected.
After deposition of thromboplastin onto a section of the sensor surface near the inlet of the flow chamber, coagulation was detected downstream of this position corresponding to a SPR signal of 7 to 8 mRIU (7 to 8 ng/mm2).
A moveable steel plate comprises a section of the track surface.
We also build a marble slab into a section of his counter surface.
Even the Chronicle's great columnist Herb Caen, for whom a section of the new surface Embarcadero is named, wrote in 1990: "While Agnos talks air-ly and eerily about a $120 million underground freeway-mit-park on the Embarcadero, the homeless proliferate and the graffito on Muni buses gets worse.
A section of the M25's surface also melted in 2003, forcing the London motorway to be reduced to two lanes between Junctions 27 and 26.
Measurements in the forward walking animal have shown (Burkamp 1996) that the point where the stance-swing transitions occur is better approximated by a section of an about spherical surface which can be represented by a three-layered feedforward perceptron as indicated by the box PEP in Fig. 5.
