The method did not require slope reprofiling or the installation of a key or geotextile.
Thus, C. d. media is unable to wheel on rough substrates or when winds drop below 2.8 m/s, whereas C. aureoflava requires slopes greater than 15° [11]; active wheelers are not so constrained.
The best and appropriate optimization of tailing dump slope requires a slope to be at optimal height and angle at the same time, with a view to creating space for more waste dumps accommodation, without compromising the stability and safety of such slopes.
This latter option is feasible if the SMS task data are subjected to a growth curve model (McArdle 1988; Meredith and Tisak 1990), in which the variance that is not explained by the Intercept, Linear Slope and (if required) Quadratic Slope factors is separated off in the form of freely estimated residuals.
The fact that MGF algorithm is robust to two commonly required parameters, slope and elevation difference thresholds, has added practical merits to be adopted in different landscapes.
If we want equality for every pair (t, s), we need to require the slope to be an upper gradient.
It is shown that this condition requires the slope of the neutral axis of the tape and the slope of the centerline of the tilted roller to be the same over the wrapped segment.
Assuming that the second-order conditions are met, Glazer and McGuire confine their analysis to symmetric and stable equilibria (see Figure 1), whereby stability requires the slope of the reaction functions in the equilibrium to be smaller than one.
Some plumbing systems are gravity operated, and require a slope so the waste or water will flow unaided to the discharge location.
Barrier islands are formed in those areas where the coastal slope is flatter than the equilibrium slope required by the long constructive swells i.e., the waves that build up the foreshore in front of their breakpoint.
