Generally, in the upper 100 cm soil layer of deforested lands, gentle and moderate slopes had higher SOC density than steeper slopes.
Compared to the initiation of short bouts supported by steeper gradients, the initiation of long bouts supported by flatter gradients should be less frequent because flatter gradients envelop more competing responses (between-bout activities, within-bout responses) than steeper gradients.
IF FOR nothing else, the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt must be thanked for bowing out rather than steeping themselves in blood.
But Winter's characters — a rogues' gallery of hard men, sexy dames, secretly gay matinee idols, pornographers and dope dealers — are merely sleazy rather than steeped in moral rot.
"Moreover, the pill will be sweetened by strong reassurances that a benign inflation outlook means the path of further rate rises will be gently sloping and carefully measured, rather than steep and aggressive".
In that respect, evolutionary algorithms appear to be better candidates than steepest descent method [13 15].
In Japan, the PSP Go currently goes for 26,800 Yen, a more than steep price when compared to the 16,800 to 19,800 Yen buyers have to pay for a PSP-300o or the 29,980 Yen a PS3 costs (10,000 Yen=$110).
This approach also tends to enrich philosophy overall by increasing its scope, reach, and capacity for self-correction; there is no better cure for culture-boundedness than steeping oneself in another.
Taken together, temporal axons are more sensitive toward shallow gradients than steep gradients.
Interestingly, uniformly unmethylated resorts had a higher association with polycomb binding sites than steep ravines ([ 42]; [see Additional file 1: Polycomb Binding Sites]).
Several conjugate gradient algorithms have been proposed, in which a search is performed along conjugate directions, generally leading to faster convergence to a local function minimum than steepest descent directions [ 22, 23].
