The back roads which hug the steep contours of the Alto Douro wine country are pretty wonderful too.
Paul Jones, the president of One&Only Resorts, said of the terrain: "There are some pretty steep contours, which makes for a difficult planning process, but the difficulty brings with it a lot of drama.
The weather system that had been building energy over the plains for 12 hours was driven upward as it collided with the range's steep contours, triggering the postponed convection.
A high pressure gradient extends into the reservoir deeply, characterized by the extremely evenly distributed zones and steep contour lines, which stand for the high power utilization efficiency.
Given the steeper contours of the mean CLUNG-PEEP curve after pronation, re-titration to a tidal compliance target may be even more advisable for the prone position than for the supine (Fig. 1).
As a Londoner, I used to feel quite proud of the place, despite its steep economic contours.
Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT, Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) demonstrates a steep fovea contour, a thickening of the macular edges, intraretinal cysts, disruption of the photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment layer and macular pseudohole formation.
The volume of the override zone and gravity segregation height play an important role in determining the sweep efficiency, which requires not only even pressure distribution but also steep pressure contour lines.
The PES practices implemented by farmers in study sites were rehabilitation and maintenance of riparian zones through tree planting, grass strips, terracing along steep slopes, contour cropping, agro-forestry, clean improved seed varieties, crop rotation, fallowing, and reduction in agro-chemicals use.
Among the last frontier people in Europe, working steep, wind-chafed contours that are largely inaccessible to heavy machinery, these Welsh and Scottish farmers do not regard unworked land as their ideal.
Rather, the shape of three-dimensional structures can be inferred from the relative shape and location of the contour lines (e.g., closely spaced contours represent steep slopes, and widely spaced contours represent shallow slopes).
