Potential use of wide tires for steep slope skidding
… tires for forest harvesting operations on steep slopes. During the summer of 1984, field tests were conducted to compare the performance characteristics of 24.5-32 and 66-43 rubber tires on a JD-640 grapple skidder loaded with tree length material. The skidder was operated on 20%, 25% and …

Multiple interval methods for ODEs with an optimization constraint
… reasons is that the underlying solution has a steep slope, making it difficult to resolve. We propose a new numerical method with techniques such as domain decomposition and asynchronous iterations for solving certain types of ordinary differential equations more efficiently. In fact, for our …

The acclimation ability of the shale barren endemic Eriogonum alleni to light and heat
… characterized by a south or south west aspect, a steep slope, and an exposed rocky surface (Platt, 1951). They have a high total irradiance and can experience temperatures higher than the surrounding deciduous forest. A variety of plant species, several of which are rare or endangered, are endemic …

Inhabiting the Hillside: A Multigenerational House
… as well as a study of mobility concerning a steep slope. Set in Lebanon overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the house is carved from the hill yet respects its topography. The hill becomes the communal spaces and rooms of the house. These uncovered spaces and stairways lead to small private …

Anchoring : Imizamo Yethu, Hout Bay
… lmizamo Yethu in Hout Bay which is-located on a steep slope of an old forestry site. Despite its great location, new houses built to replace the informal shack are not 'ground' to site and few communal facilities exist to give people a sense of belonging. Anchoring This is an exploration of …

Overflows and upper ocean interaction : a mechanism for the Azores Current
… as dense gravity currents down a continental slope and play a crucial role in the deep ocean circulation. To understand the dynamics of these overflows, previous studies simplified their dynamics by treating the overlying ocean as inactive. This simplification may be a first approximation for …

Slope Failure Remediation Design
… design project analyzes and remediates a slope failure that occurred in Bismarck, North Dakota. The failure emerged along River Road on the Eastern bank of the Missouri River less than a half mile north of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Bridge. The failure took place the week of …

Wet and dry troughs over Southern Africa during early summer
… interior in dry cases consistent with a gentle slope in the divergence profile. For wet cases upward motions are intense and widespread over the interior consistent with a steep slope in the divergence profile, and compensated by descending motions over the adjacent oceans along 30° S band. …

Synthesis of large-area two-dimensional materials for vertical heterostructures
… for application in resonant tunneling and steep-slope devices. Further, the impact of scaling and defects on device performance is explored. From an experimental standpoint, this work demonstrates wafer-scale synthesis of TMDs using high temperature growth methods. In addition, …

Design and evaluation of an automatic gear-shifting system for manual wheelchairs
… AGS has three speeds – first gear: for ascending slopes or traversing compliant surfaces, second gear: traditional direct-drive for everyday situations, and third gear: for improved ergonomics during fast propulsion. The AGS is packaged as an add-on set of two wheelchair wheels (each with its own …

Avian assemblages and Red-eyed Vireo nest survival within mineland forest
… spoil mounded atop benches and also within outslopes.;Using an information-theoretic approach, I developed a priori models containing habitat and temporal covariates that I hypothesized to influence the nest survival of Red-eyed Vireos. Within the same study area, I monitored vireo nests within …

Spatial distribution of canopy gaps in a tropical forest landscape and its influence on the tree community
… in areas of old-growth forest and on more gentle slopes than on steeper slopes and in younger forest. Slope and forest age had similar effects on the gap area fraction, however gap area fraction was also affected by soil type and by aspect. I concluded that variation in disturbance patterns across …

Numerical Simulations of Multi-Confined Jets in Crossflow at Supercritical Pressure
… value approaches about 0.08 with a very steep slope which means from x/D=0 to x/D=0.35 the mixing process is occurring rapidly. From about x/D=0.35 to 5D the unmixedness value approaches zero with a slope of about 0.02 indicating the start of a relatively fully mixed zone which could …
