MACR of WQSI over the change in water pollutant weights showed an approximately linear curve with varied slopes and intercept at zero.
As shown in Figure 4, performance was similar for most SLOPE settings, where SLOPE varied from SLOPE = 10 4 to SLOPE = 100 and | RMAX| took one of three values (25%, 50 %, 100).
Begum [1] conducted an experimental study of laterally loaded pile on sloped surface by varied the slope angles.
With the parameter β = 1, and the average ligand concentration Lmid = 1, we varied the slope of the gradient (Lslope) for four different values of the Hill cooperativity parameter q.
Polly then simulated evolution in simple (i.e., unimodal, one peak) and complex (i.e., multimodal randomly distributed peaks that varied in slope and height) adaptive landscapes under distinct selection modes: random fluctuation, directed or sustained trend, stabilizing, and drift.
Given that the negative relationship between colony size and growth rate varied in slope across genotypes (Table 1), colony size clearly has distinct genotype-specific effects on colony growth rate.
Environmental conditions within a catchment vary by slope aspect, and hence slope aspect provides a means of observing their controls on critical zone structure and function.
We compare six discharge measurement methods at 13 locations that vary in slope from 1% to 80%, with discharge ranging up to four orders in magnitude, which enabled us to weight the accuracy of each method over a specific range in discharge.
Comparisons between the fixed effects across models with different varying slopes is deemed to be appropriate since allowing slopes to vary randomly has little effect on the fixed effects or the standard errors associated with these fixed effects (Raudenbush and Bryk, 2002).
