  2. Filling area conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_area_conjecture

    Thus the filling problem can be stated equivalently as a question about Riemannian surfaces, that are not placed in Euclidean space in any particular way. Conjecture (Gromov's filling area conjecture, 1983): The hemisphere has minimum area among the orientable compact Riemannian surfaces that fill isometrically their boundary curve, of given ...

  3. Grading (earthworks) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_(earthworks)

    Section through railway track and foundation showing the sub-grade. Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, [1] for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage.

  4. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    l = slope length α = angle of inclination. The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A ...

    Similar calculations are carried out to determine pixel positions along a line with negative slope. Thus, if the absolute value of the slope is less than 1, we set dx=1 if x s t a r t < x e n d {\displaystyle x_{\rm {start}}<x_{\rm {end}}} i.e. the starting extreme point is at the left.

  6. Slope stability analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_stability_analysis

    For example, functional slope design considers the critical slip surface to be the location where that has the lowest value of factor of safety from a range of possible surfaces. A wide variety of slope stability software use the limit equilibrium concept with automatic critical slip surface determination.

    Nov. 17—Every year is different. Sometimes the snow is early. Sometimes it's right on time. Sometimes it feels just a little late. Jim van Loben Sels, general manager at Mt. Spokane Ski and ...

    In other words, the "hypotenuse" does not maintain a consistent slope, even though it may appear that way to the human eye. There are two distinct and "false hypotenuses" for the total triangle. A true 13×5 triangle cannot be created from the given component parts. The four figures (the yellow, red, blue and green shapes) total 32 units of area.
