The new farming also places more reliance on artificial systems than on the instincts and experience of individuals, such as the fenland farmer who points out to Harvey the slight ridging peculiar to the base of a Hereford cow's horn "that reveals the number of her calvings as surely as the rings of a felled tree denote the seasons of its life".
For Macrocarpa, mean ring density followed a relatively flat gradient, with a slight trough in the first 3 years and a slight ridge at 11 years.
There's only a slight ridge that juts out over the screen, keeping it protected (the case comes with a screen protector, too, if that's how you roll).
Union troopers directed by their officers took up hasty defensive positions on this slight ridge.
Infantry in the 75th Division made steady slow progress; the main body of the Ottoman rear guard eventually falling back to a slight ridge 1 mi to the north-east.
It is also possible that the slight "ridge" of ARI incidence in Figure 1 at very low COHb levels occurred because the children who had low COHb concentrations (most of them were attending the LT-school) were also more chronically malnourished (stunted) than the children from the two other schools (28 vs. 9 and 8%, respectively) (Table 2).
There should be a slight ridge on the back side of the linen pieces.
The overlying epidermis show attenuated rete ridges and slight compact hyperkeratosis.
The observations reveal that the outermost walls of the nanotubes act as torsion springs and possess not only greatly enhanced first buckling strengths, but also stiffened post-buckling regimes characterized by a slight growth of helicoidal ridges and furrows.
The second biopsies from patients 5, 7, and 12 which were performed during imiquimod treatment and taken from inflamed areas revealed slight elongation of rete ridges, focal areas of basal keratinocytes in irregular arrangement, parakeratosis, atypical basal keratinocytes, and dense lymphocytic infiltrates, indicative of actinic keratosis).
