introduction: spatial variation of soil properties is significantly influenced by numerous environmental factors such as landscape features, including position, topography, slope gradient and aspect, parent material, climate and vegetation. soil properties vary spatially in south- and north-facing hill slopes. this factor (different slope aspects) can affect the distribution of soil organic mat...

Spectral slope, the linear component of the spectral envelope, affects sound quality or timbre, and is important for object identification, speech discrimination, voice recognition, and interpreting vocal expressions of emotion. Eight-month-old infants discriminated between tones with spectral slopes of −10 dB/octave and −4 dB/octave, but not between positive or highly negative spectral slopes....

Abstract Spacing between check dams depends on the stream bed slope, effective height of check dams and slope of deposited sediments behind the check dams. The slope of deposited sediments is more important than the other two factors because of complications in the way of its occurrence and its measurement after several years of dam construction. This research presents the effective factors a...
