All the samples experienced a two step mass loss under programmable heating, i.e., Moisture de-trapping: an initial loss (approx. 1.7 %) of mass due to trapped moisture between 60 and 175 °C; Carbonization: A major steep mass loss (approx. 35 %) which commences around 543 °C and completes at 714 °C, with the maximum decomposition rate (T max) around 600 °C.
After a mass loss of about 18%, the ethyl xanthate has an onset of a steep mass loss at 122 °C while the phase of steep mass loss is shifted to slightly higher temperatures for propyl (125 °C), butyl (126 °C) and pentyl (130 °C) xanthates.
The steep, triangular mass of the Cheesegrater has now reached its full height, an event that will be celebrated in a topping-out ceremony tomorrow, even if the building won't be fully finished until next year.
In Country (1985; film 1989), her first novel, is also steeped in mass culture, which led one critic to speak of Mason's "Shopping Mall Realism".
Now, in an adjoining steep field, masses of full-out primroses form yellow drifts; a chiffchaff sings above the sunken lane where bluebells, stitchwort and alkanet bloom between the green of dog's mercury and wild arum.
As members of a generation steeped in mass media and nurtured in graduate education, and following the general collapse of established values in the sixties and of revolutionary idealism thereafter, they thrilled to suggestions that their automatic sophistication could see through, and dissipate, the antediluvian authority of their elders.
According to ABI, the iPad's relatively high price, averaging more than $650 per unit sold, was too steep to spur mass adoption of the product.
Note that the dry mass steep decrease seen after hour 18 43 is due to cell splitting.
The depressed zones between the basalt areas have extensive plateaus above which rise single volcanoes, table mountains, or other mountain masses with steep sides.
Thermal gradients are often steep unless the igneous mass is extremely large.
It has a good deal of intact habitat, with more than 80% of its land mass forested, steep topology, and marked gradients in precipitation.
