When the gradient was less steep more central regions of the left hemifield could be attended but regions that were more peripheral tended not to be attended.
However, the reward gradient is less attractive if you are to become a superintendent earning, at the very best, $150,000 to $200,000.
In regions with high levels of deforestation, the slope of the rainforest-savanna gradient should be less steep.
The gradient of this relationship was less steep than the gradient of the relationship between (S 2 - S 1 ) and S 1 (equation (3)), and the regression was non-significant, which could be expected according to equation (4).
For adenomas, the gradient of the exposure-response was less steep, and became flatter the smaller the size of the adenoma.
It could be, however, that selection gradients under the gradual and control regimes were less steep than in the sudden regime, that is, selection on the relevant traits was weaker, thus explaining the relatively slower adaptive rates of gradual and control populations when compared to the sudden populations.
Similarly, women from higher-income households had a lower prevalence of diabetes than women from lower-income households, but the gradient relating prevalence of diabetes to household income was less steep for men (Fig. 2 B ).
There was an illness gradient across deprivation quintiles for those aged 65 and over (Fig. 2), although it was less steep than for the under 65s.
