sinuosity

A sinuosity index of 1 referred to a straight shoreline, whereas a bay or a sinuous shoreline resulted in an index of < 1.

It resembles that of the other large Natalina species except, probably as a result of the well extended head-foot, it is less extensively looped back on itself, revealing tight sinuosity in the central duct of the posterior half of the gland.

(11) If the demon-king belongs to the temporalities of both present time (a fugitive slave from Lewis' colonial West Indian references) and past history (the spirit of a slave drowned in the Middle Passage), then his figure belongs to that dimension of Caribbean oceanic temporality which Benitez-Rojo describes as "the natural and indispensable realm of marine currents, of waves, of folds and double folds, of fluidity and sinuosity." He belongs to a Caribbean time that is "not terrestrial but aquatic, a sinuous culture where time unfolds irregularly and resists being captured by the cycles of the clock and calendar" (The Repeating Island 11).

The format is anything but linear (one is reminded of Yeats' "Turning and turning in the widening gyre"), but the sinuosity doesn't leave the reader befuddled.

Tannier and Pumain emphasize that the sinuosity of the urban border provides a way to improve the accessibility of the population to the amenities.

Use of GIS allowed the calculations to be adjusted for variations in speed limits, type of road surface, sinuosity, and differences in the topography across the network.

The main limitations of the DEM-derived drainage network refer to the incapacity of representing river meanders that are smaller than the pixel size and the problem of artificial sinuosity that occurs when the width of the river is larger than pixel side.

After analyzing the data and contemplating stream gradients, substrate materials, sinuosity ratios, hydrographs, and other factors that describe stream behavior, we toured the project area to see what the creek had done in the past, what it was currently doing, and what it would probably do the next winter, basing our observations on deposition and erosion patterns from the past winter.

Chaplin's sinuosity and the virtuosity with which he employs it is still stunning today.

In order to assess the rate of recent to present day tectonic movements along the margins of the HPT we used a simple morphometric parameter--mountain front sinuosity index, Smf (Bull and Mc Fadden, 1977), calculated as:

Natural stream Channelized ditch Channel characteristics Bankfull recurrence interval Lower Higher Stream discharge Lower Higher Stream velocity Lower Higher Stream gradient Lower Higher Width:depth ratio Higher Lower Entrenchment ratio Higher Lower Roughness of bed and bank Higher Lower Geometry Parabolic Trapezoidal Sinuosity Sinuous Linear Floodplain Present Absent Pools/riffles Present Absent Habitat quality Higher Lower Natural biodiversity Higher Lower Source: Adapted from Brooks et al.

the temples is both accentuated and diminished by the sinuosity of the
