The characteristic ing line was dropped, and the feature of these alluvial deltas is that the river traverses them, not observer at B read off the angle in a single channel, but in two or many bifurcating branches.
positions of lines of levelling and cross sections are marked; (2) a longitudinal section and numerous cross sections of the river; (3) a series of gaugings of the discharge at different points and in different conditions of the river.
Cross Sections —A stake is planted flush with the water, and its level relatively to some point on the line of levels is determined.

 Indifference curve   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
In microeconomics an indifference curve is a graph showing combinations of two goods to an economic agent (such as a consumer firm) is indifferent that is it has no preference for one combination over the other.
The curves are convex which is consequence of the assumption that as consumers less and less of one good they more of the other good to compensate to the law of diminishing marginal utility).
The slope of indifference curve known by economists as the marginal rate of substitution shows the rate at which consumers willing to give up one good in for more of the other good.

 OMM Web Site - Handling curves: a better line
That is, you enter from the outside edge of the curve, then move towards the inside until you reach its apex, then continue from there outwards until you are once again at the outside of the curve just as you exit it.
That is, since I am closer to the end of the curve when I reach the inside than is the normal apex, I have fewer degrees of the arc left to go before I am again going in a straight line.
If any part of your motorcycle crosses that line, including just a grip, you are in the path of oncoming traffic, and are in their lane.

 KODAK: H-1 Sensitometric and Image-Structure Data - Print Friendly Version
Gamma is the slope of the straight-line portion of the characteristic curve or the tangent of the angle (a) formed by the straight line with the horizontal.
If characteristic curves for a fland-white negative or positive film are determined for a series of development times and the gamma or average gradient of each curve is plotted against the time of development, a curve showing the change of gamma or average gradient with increased development is obtained.
The spectral-dye-density curves (illustrated in Figure 37b) indicate the total absorption by each color dye measured at a particular wavelength of light and the visual neutral density (at 1.0) of the combined layers measured at the same wavelengths.

 Phillips Curve, by Kevin D. Hoover: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
The individual observations appear to lie closely along the fitted curve, indicating that the cyclical behavior of inflation and unemployment is similar to the average behavior.
According to the regression line, NAIRU (i.e., the rate of unemployment for which the change in the rate of inflation is zero) is about 7 percent.
The Phillips curve was hailed in the sixties as providing an account of the inflation process hitherto missing from the conventional macroeconomic model.

 cross curve   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Then draw a line l through A parallel to the y-axis, and a line m through B parallel to the x-axis.
The cross curve is formed by the points P for which the distance to the x-axis is equal to the distance from the origin to the crossing of OP and m (PQ = OA in picture).
The curve is a Lamé curve, and also an epi spiral.

The curve for the November 9, 1968 earthquake is the attenuation curve for 3-sec period waves (Figure 6).
The short horizontal bars are drawn to cross this curve at the points which correspond to intensities VII to IV.
They are fit by a theoretical (solid-line) attenuation curve with the same coefficient of anelastic attenuation, y, as that used for the November 9, 1968 earthquake.

 Koch curve   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
The Koch curve is a mathematical curve, and one of the earliest fractal curves to have been described.
The better known Koch snowflake (or Koch star) is the same as the curve, except it starts with an equilateral triangle (instead of a line segment).
The Koch curve has infinite length because each time the steps above are performed on each line segment of the figure its length increases by one third.

 Lecture 24: Stress-Strain Curves
The line between points C and D indicates the behavior of the steel specimen if it experienced continued loading to stress indicated as point C. Notice that the dashed line is parallel to the elastic zone of the curve (between the origin and point A).
The point of rupture, or the actual tearing of the material, does not occur until point F. It is interesting to note the curve that indicates the actual stress experienced by the specimen.
This curve is different from the apparent stress since the cross sectional area is actually decreasing.

 Glider Performance Airspeeds
A line from the origin (0, 0 point) of the graph, that is tangent to (just touches) the polar curve represents the glide path of the yellow glider.
If we move up from the point where the line touches the polar curve to the airspeed scale, we find that the speed that produces this best glide is 42 knots (48 mph).
To be valid relative to the ground the curve must be displaced in the direction and by the amount that the air mass is moving.

 Parabola
By "section" is meant the curve of intersection of a plane with the surface of the cone.
A line PQ perpendicular to the axis is drawn, then a circular arc of radius DQ with center at F intersects this line at a point P on the parabola.
The line from the vertex V to a point with x = ns/N, y = L/2 is intersected with a horizontal line at height y = n(L/2)/N to determine points P on the parabola.

If a large sheet of paper is folded in half, then in half again, etc, with all the folds parallel, then opened up flat, there are a series of parallel creases, some pointing up and some down, dividing the paper into fractions of the original length.
From this view, the only unchanged part of the original paper is the piece containing the ``start edge'', and this piece will be horizontal, with the ``start edge'' on the left.

 S. Berliner, III's Horseshoe Curve Page
For a start, the Horseshoe Curve is at the vertical center of the image, about 1/3 of the way down, circling around the left-most of the three City of Altoona Water Works reservoirs, the flish blobs at upper right with thick, vertical, white lines to their right (impounding dams).
Deep into the Curve at this point, the LH white line between the tracks and the run-off channel is 40th Street as it was before they cut in away from the Curve to build the Park Service's Vistor's Center and parking lot.
The line on the north side had a wye at the Curve and the RoW of the wye is still plainly visible on the ground and it can be seen on the photo as a white trapezoid above the western tunnel mouth (against the tracks and left of the Curve).

 Calyxa's Contour Line Material Tutorial
For the input curve on _all_ color textures, the value of the output determines which point along the gradient is used.
An interesting thing about the curve editor is that for any vertical line you can draw through it, that line will cross the actual input curve line once and only once.
The point here is that the input curve defines a range of 200 meters which for the first 195 of them outputs a blend value of 0 and for the last 5 of them outputs a blend value of 1.

"The Line, The Cross and The Curve" is not in the least error-ridden; as for the danger of over-interpreting the movie's subtleties, well, let it merely be said that the analyses that have reached this forum to date scarcely raise such a danger.
In "The Line, The Cross and The Curve" that virtue is perhaps (and this is typical of Kate Bush) more quietly displayed than ever, even as the vehicle chosen (a 43-minute film) is in some respects her most ambitious to date; but that virtue is no less real for its subtlety.
The line (path) comes to her at the end of 'Lily', when she's laying down and Lily says, "...the spell is broken".
