Five tips for landscaping a slope Maureen Gilmer Take up slope as gently as possible in order to limit soil disturbance and retain the natural form of the hillside. This ornamental grass can grow on a steeper slope because it is not mowed. Because Leptospermum lavaegatum is drought tolerant...
As the slope gets steeper, you'll find yourself falling backward more and more, until you flip your heel riser on and magically regain composure. Most bindings have two or more levels to choose from, depending on the angle of the slope. Don’t be too scared or lazy to use these when ...
The y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis; the value of x must be 0 at the y-intercept, because the y-axis is stationed at x = 0 on the graph. Consequently, to find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x in your equation and calculate y. For equations of ...
As you can see the higher freq signal has the steeper slope. Taking the ratio of the two analytic signals gives the relative phase as in fig(3). Since the difference frequency is 50 Hz and the total time is 50 msec, you would expect the accu...
The goal in ski boot fitting is to find a size and shape that you’ll be comfortable in without compromising too much performance. Everyone’s foot is unique, and regardless of what some bootfitters will tell you there is no one “right” way to fit boots. The size, shape, flex, and...
I planned my route on the Gaia GPS web browser. This process allows for precise route creation and layering of important information, all of which syncs seamlessly to the mobile app. Here are the key steps I took: Note how I have Gaia Topo active as my base map, with Slope Angle overl...
It is important, then, to adopt a practice of "gentle resistance." You want to oppose the bike's desire to fling you over the handlebars, but not in a way that impedes your progress. Weight Back, Move Forward: As you move down the slope, keep your rear end as far back on the ...
In January 2019, a tragic avalanche accident occurred during an avalanche training class in Colorado. One contributing factor was that the slopes the group traveled on were a few degrees steeper than what the slope-shading estimated. To understand more about how nuanced—and impactful—slope-angle...
Using a Calculator to Find Degrees If you don't have a tangent table handy, you can use a scientific calculator as a slope to degrees calculator. After converting the percent slope to a decimal fraction, you'll want the calculator to display the inverse tangent, or arctan, which is the ...
(at least to the weak limit, which has to do with the continuity of linear functions that live on the space dual to the topological vector space we started in for those that demand more rigor). Anyway, this limit, called a Dirac delta function (δ(x)), is a "function" that ...
