Although the fitted trend line the authors present appears to show that the level of support for the proposition "The government ought to reduce the income differences between rich and poor" slopes slightly downward, the researchers acknowledge that they can't statistically reject the hypothesis that it is actually flat — i.e., that support for redistribution hasn't declined.
As the regression coefficients of a random intercepts model are larger than the corresponding marginal ones, by just setting the random effects to zero we obtain an excessively wide range of predictions which leads to poor calibration slope (<1).
A study by Major League Baseball last year found that many broken bats had poor-quality slope of grain, a term that refers to how straight the grain is along a bat.
With steep slopes, poor soils and a short growing season compared to lowland England, these are marginal farming areas, traditionally managed for the extensive, grass-based production of sheep, beef and some dairy farming, and their designation as European Union (EU) Less Favoured Areas (LFA) reflects this.
The obtained results show that the second-order scheme does not behave much better than a corresponding first-order one due to a poor performance of the slope limiters caused by the presence of local extrema of the Riemann invariant associated with the hyperbolic system.
Overall, the grain size is fine with a broad distribution of Φ values from 2 to 5. Saltating and rolling components, which would indicate a low slope and poor sorting, are not developed; moreover, the suspended fraction is dominant (Fig. 4).
Finally, an interesting result of this study is that even if SUV, K 1, K i, and Patlak slope are poor differentiators of low-grade tumor compared to healthy prostate tissue, they are strong indicators of aggressive disease: they all dramatically increase at Gleason score 4 + 3.
Consistently unfavorable weather conditions and a lack of profitability were the major reasons skiing stopped on Joppenbergh; the poor design of the slope, as well as infighting among ski club members, also contributed.
This paper analyses a question of poor landscape ecology on high slope, proposes objectives and principles of high slope landscape design, and sums up the high slope construction techniques of landscape protection, combinated with common features of ecological slope protection technology.
He is campaigning ahead of what will be only the second round of elections not controlled by the governing party since Kenya's independence, and the competition is evident even in the district where he is running — there are currently 17 other candidates vying for the Parliament seat representing tiny Alego-Usonga, a poor, agricultural district of sloping hills not far from Lake Victoria.
