Below, bottom) Supports for climbers This is one of the simplest structures to make, from trimmed poles lashed together with twine. Pushed securely into the ground, it will be used to support runner beans. [Pg.160]

Planting climbers Put any support system, such as stretched horizontal wires, in place before planting the climber. To avoid siting it in a "rain shadow," plant it a little distance away from a wall or fence, guiding the stems of the plant in with canes. [Pg.171]

The black pepper of commerce is the matured dried fruits (berries) of the tropical, perennial plant P. nigrum L. of the Pipemceae family. The common black pepper is found extensively in the evergreen forests of Western Ghats and adjoining areas, almost from sea level up to an elevation of 1300m. It is a perennial climber, climbing by means of ivy-like roots which adhere to the support tree. [Pg.22]

The hoisting option includes sinking costs for winches required to install ground support shaft steel. Analogous functions for the conveyor installation are included in the conveyor installation and are accomplished with the raise climber. [Pg.372]

Telemedicine has provided medical assistance and support to Mount Everest climbers since 1988. [Pg.1800]

Atmospheric pressure varies with atmospheric conditions and distance above sea level. The atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation because there is a smaller mass of air above it. Approximately one-half of the matter in the atmosphere is less than 20,000 feet above sea level. Thus, atmospheric pressure is only about one-half as great at 20,000 feet as it is at sea level. Mountain climbers and pilots use portable barometers to determine their altitudes (Figure 12-2). At sea level, at a latitude of 45 , the average atmospheric pressure supports a column of mercury 760 mm high in a simple mercury barometer when the mercury and air are at 0°C. This average sea-level pressure of 760 mm Hg is called one atmosphere of pressure. [Pg.404]
