Construction of qanāts, slightly sloping tunnels driven into hillsides that contained groundwater, probably originated in ancient Persia about 700 bce.
A broad, slightly sloping lobby, paved in green slate, now connects Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth Streets and provides two entrances to the museum.
Its slightly sloping floors threatened to pitch you back 100 years, and the wintertime drafts were so chilling that Mr. Weprin wore silk long johns to work.
Thick of glass, slightly sloping and held at the base, this primary pint glass was usurped in the 1920s by a ten-sided alternative complete with handle and from which dark beers such as porter and mild were drunk.
Floor plans were open, wide expanses of glass substituted for walls, roofs were asymmetrical and only slightly sloped, and basements were raised higher than in most houses, allowing in more light and elevating their role.
Model simulations of water movement across a slightly sloping (1%) simulated landscape indicated lateral gradients of flow existed within the solum of these soils.
The burrows of M. persicus were restricted to areas including cover and located mostly on flat and slightly sloping areas with clay-lome soil type.
Corresponding to the present-day topography of the study area, which is flat to slightly sloping, the Roman paleo-surface appears in a similar relative paleo-topographic position.
Qanat captures water seeped into the ground and brings it back to the land surface through a slightly sloped underground tunnel.
The modified apparent rough surface (MARS) model is presented, which facilitates prediction of liquid holdup and pressure gradient in gas-liquid flow through horizontal and slightly sloping pipes.
