Sentence examples for rough mantle from inspiring English sources

Mineral or skeletal soils exist over much of arid Australia that contain virtually no organic content and have developed little depth; they may consist merely of a rough mantle of weathered rock.

Assuming a rough estimate of the mantle velocity and a reflector extending for 110 to 290 km along ODr9 (Figure 10c), we were able to explain the observed travel times with an error of less than 0.2 s (except at offset 210 to 240 km for OBS 115, where the error was 0.3 s).

The reduced rotation of the rough stems in the mantles may be related to increased frictional forces between the walls of the mantle and the stem compared to the polished stems.

The first group of 3 cement mantles permitted 2 degrees of rotational movement; this was roughly double the movement that was recorded in cement mantles in which rough stems were cyclically loaded over 1 million cycles (mean 0.8°).

The pattern and magnitude of ΔPmax generated in the 2-degree mantles by both rough and polished stems is closely related to the mean pressures generated by rough stems after long-term physiological loading.

At this point, together with changes in the pressure waveform, there were significant increases in ΔPmax or the amplitude of the pressure waves generated by rough stems, especially along the posterior mantle wall.

The living room has a double-height ceiling with exposed beams, and a fireplace mantle made from a rough-hewn cedar log.

A third way is for fragments of material to be deposited on a surface from above, first mantling and eventually obliterating the rough topography.

Three 2-degree mantles were assessed with both rough and polished stems under 3 different loading regimes: isolated axial and torsional loading, and combined torsional and axial loads.

The similar performances of both polished and rough stems within the artificially worn cement mantles indicated that the different behaviors of the 2 stem surface finishes during long-term loading were due to the fact that the rough stems were causing asymmetric deformation of the cement mantle and increased rotational movement and not due to any influence on interface fluid dynamics.

A Wilcoxon rank sum test was performed on the unpaired data of the 2- and 5-degree mantles with either polished or rough stems in situ (n = 15 in each group).
