Sentences with phrase «shorter vertical distance»

The mountains pack more environments into a shorter vertical distance than any terrain in the United States.

Re 392 Chris Dudley — while it makes intuitive sense that a spatially - invariant net photon flux could be sustained by a constant gradient in local equilibrium photon concentration (proportional to T ^ 4 for a grey gas, assuming constant real component of index of refraction), the calculation of what that gradient should actually be is made a bit more complicated by the fact that photons travelling in different directions will on average be absorbed over longer or shorter vertical distances.

SOD: I'm a little confused about how to think about or calculate conduction over relatively short vertical distances at the top of the ocean.

Not exact matches

No matter how far they walked, the subjects always stopped short when wearing the glasses, and went too far after they took the prisms off, the team reports in the 8 November issue of Nature, indicating that their brains had been using the distorted vertical position to gauge distance.

Olympic weightlifting training improves snatch and clean and jerk performance, lower body strength (as measured by 1RM squat and isometric force), lower body power output, short distance sprint running ability, vertical jump height, and maximum aerobic capacity (as measured by VO2 - max).

Force - vector specificity was observed, as axial exercise training improved vertical jumping performances by more than anteroposterior exercise training, while anteroposterior exercise training improved short distance sprinting performances by more than axial exercise training.

It can sprint for short distances based on the size of its stamina bar, which grows the more you use it and has a vertical leap twice its height.

In this activity, students propose and examine a variety of methods for identifying the best fit line such as eyeballing it, finding a balanced line, such that the same number of points are above and below it, minimizing the sum of the shortest distances from each point to the line, looking at the sum of the absolute vertical distances from the points to the line, and using the sum of the squared vertical distances.

Trails range from virtually flat and short distance in length to lung - busting, serious hours of ropes - optional vertical.

A mix of vertical shooter and puzzle game, Velocity Ultra puts players in control of the Quarp Jet, a spaceship equipped with the ability to teleport short distances.

It can sprint for short distances based on the size of its stamina bar, which grows the more you use it and has a vertical leap twice its height.

Because intensities at different angles are absorbed over shorter or longer vertical distances, this leads to anomalous warming in the air just above the surface and anomalous cooling in a layer above that (the anomalous cooling would taper off with height but never quite go to zero).

Much of this energy may move most of the vertical distance by convection rather than conduction, although conduction presumably becomes practical when the remaining distance is short enough.

So, if you can use the airship's ability to do a vertical landing in or near the locations you really want to get to or from, then you have a good shot at reducing the total point - to - point travel time enough to make the airship quite acceptable for short distance air travel.
