A similar pattern of adaptation involving slope change has been reported in two contrast discrimination studies in normal subjects that did not involve flicker (40, 41).
Due to geological complexity of slopes and self-organized system, however, many variables are involved in slope stability evaluation, and these variables display a highly nonlinear relationship with the evaluation results.
"This job is truly my dream job," said Balac, who majored in American studies and was heavily involved with Slope Media and the Cornell Daily Sun during his years at Cornell.
He became involved in Slope Media as a freshman, hosting a radio show, writing and taking photos for the magazine, and eventually joining the editorial board in later years before becoming head of the group's operations.
The improved KCP-based reliability method is especially suitable for dealing with an implicit performance function with a large number of random variables, which is often involved in slope reliability analysis.
In this paper, reliability analyses are performed using the results of slope stability analyses on example waste slopes to address two sources of uncertainty involved in waste slope stability assessments.
After a geomechanical characterisation of the rock mass involved in the slope deformation, numerical modelling was performed to verify the hypotheses made on kinematics and driving factors of the phenomenon.
Not enough is gained in democracy to justify entering the slippery slope involved in limiting the freedom of expression, even of oligarchs.
And there have been trials for civil damages involving ski-slope fatalities.
Furthermore, we proposed state transition rules to realize a set of actions involving sensing slopes, movement by actuators, and moving over irregular ground.
