Straight ridge

Whatever the force raising the ridge, the existence of the latter disproves Eq. (1). It is supposed in the force proof that ys and ysl both act along one straight line. 

Bends and bulges. If we overlook the ridges and grooves on their surfaces the DNA structures shown in Figs. 5-3 and 5-12 are straight rods. However, real DNA rods are crooked and may contain distinct bends. The... 

A micromixer suggested by Stroock et al., consisting of pressure flow in straight rectangular channels with ridges on one of the walls [Reprinted by permission from A. D. Stroock, S. K. W. Dertinger, A. Ajdari, I. Mezic, H. A. Stone, and G. M. Whitesides, Chaotic Mixer for Microchannels, Science, 295, 364-651 (2002).]... 

The measured responses (a measure of relative energy efficiency) are shown in the diagram as slopes, where the topology varies in the "z" direction. The "x" direction is the time variable and the "y" direction is the temperature variable. What we have is a "ridge" (denoted by the straight line in the middle) where the firing cycle effects, i.e.- the combination of T and t, are linear. 

The analytical data for eight samples of the Todd Ridge pyroclastics in Appendix 7.8.4 define a straight line in Fig. 7.20 from which we calculate a Rb-Sr date and initial Sr/ Sr ratio ...
