"steep transition" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to describe a sudden or abrupt change or shift between two things. Example: "The company experienced a steep transition as it moved from a traditional, paper-based system to a fully digital one."
Much of that stress, he said, came from the steep transition in making the jump from Columbia to the N.F.L. "It was just so new," he said.
Mr Bush has avoided two tougher but essential questions: whether (and how much) to cut promised benefits for today's workers; and how to pay the steep transition costs of shifting from today's system to one based on private accounts.As so often, the choice is between political pain and economic profligacy.
Figure 3 The near normal reflectance spectra ofa C ZnO samples showing a not-so-steep transition from low to high reflectance at about 2.0 μm andb CNiO samples showing a steep transition from low to high reflectance at about 2.5 μm.
Here, we explored whether light can "optimize" heart rate and its neural control, by actively promoting a less steep transition from sleep to wakefulness, thus minimizing morning cardiovascular vulnerability.
Interband absorption of the β-FeSi2 provided a desirable selective absorbing behaviour with a steep transition curve from high solar absorption to low infrared absorption in the near-infrared region.
In the other we sampled from a step function (an approximation to a Fermi-Dirac distribution with a steep transition) such that all sites below the threshold are equally likely to be sampled.
Mechanical tests in the form of hardness, tensile and in-situ digital image correlation tests showed steep transitions in the developed Inconel gradients.
Depth profiles of angle φ exhibit plateaus that extend over a few microns and are followed by steep transitions to other plateaus at a quite different angle.
A depletion-mode n-MOS transistor load has been used to obtain a steeper transition in DC characteristics.
A steeper transition zone forms at the boundary between salt marshes and bare flats because of the differential sediment deposition in the two neighboring regions.
Conversely, increasing the velocity to 50 cm/day produces a distribution of As after only 50 years that is comparable to that after 500 years at 5 cm/d, but with a steeper transition.
