What is a scree scramble? Scrambling is "a walk up steep terrain involving the use of one's hands". It is an ambiguous term that lies somewhere between hiking, hillwalking, and easy mountaineering and rock climbing. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential. Where is freeze/tha...
A sluff can grow in size and speed as it descends the slope and scoops up more snow off the surface. MUST SEE: Canada's worst avalanche is the 1910 Rogers Pass disaster, a preventable tragedy Despite their smaller size and localized nature, sluffs are s...
Slope rating is an important factor when calculating a golfer’s handicap score, and is necessary to reflect differences in wavering course difficulties. For example, what if one particular golfer played his or her five rounds on a course rated at 100, while another golfer played his five round...
A field study. Contact Dermatitis 1993; 29: 1–9.Halkier-Soresen L, Thestrup-Pedersen K, Maibach HI. Equation for conversion of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) to a common reference temperature: what is the slope? Contact Dermatitis 1993; 29: 280-281....
linear interpolation is a method used in data analysis to estimate values between known data points. it assumes a linear relationship between the points and uses straight lines to approximate the missing values. by calculating the slope and intercept between adjacent data points, you can interpolate...
From any point on a surface, there is a curve in each direction. A ball has two convex curves at any point; the inside of a sphere, two concave curves (Alberti 1436). At the top of a steep slope, a wide ski-run may fall away steeply—a convex curve—but in the orthogonal directi...
The slope control decides if the trigger point is on the rising or the falling edge of a signal, and where on the edge the trigger point occurs is determined by the level control. Many oscilloscopes today also come equipped with a probe. An oscilloscope probe is essentially a device making...
In “regular” mathematics, a parameter refers to a value within an equation that is transferred throughout the equation. For example,mandbare parameters in the slope equationy=mx+b. However, the parameter definition in statistics is quite different. Parameters in statistics are used to describe ...
But exactly what is a statistic? In its simplest form, it is a fact or piece of data from a study of a large quantity of numerical data. For example, the statement “the statistics show that the crime rate has increased” is referring to facts or numbers collected from research involving...
Linear regression is the process of creating a relationship between the dependent variables and independent variables. The linear equation which represents the regression line is Y=a*X+b. Here Y- dependent variable, X- independent variable, a-Slope, and b-Intercept. ...
