Stair-step

The majority of particleboard is used in furniture and cabinetry. A significant amount is used as floor decking in manufactured homes and as undedayment in conventional homes. Particleboard is used as shelving in homes and industrial businesses, as door cores in soHd core doors, in stair stepping, door frames, and a host of uses requiring small flat parts as a starting point. 

Figure 13.12 The 1H NMR spectrum of methyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate. Integrating the peaks in a "stair-step" manner shows that they have a 1 3 ratio, corresponding to the ratio of the numbers of protons (3.91 responsible for each peak.

Integration (Section 13.10) A technique for measuring the area under an NMR peak to determine the relative number of each kind of proton in a molecule. Integrated peak areas are superimposed over the spectrum as a "stair-step" line, with the height of each step proportional to the area underneath the peak. 

Elements bordering the stair-stepped line (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te) are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Their unusual electrical properties make them valuable in the semiconductor and computer industry.

A hold device is always needed in a sampled-data process control system. The hold converts the sequence of impulses of an impulse-sampled function/(, into a continuous (usually staircase) function/g,). There are several types of mathematical holds, but the only one that is of any practical interest is called a zero-order hold. This type of hold generates the stair-step function described above.

Practice For the stair climb, run stair steps with a large weight on your shoulders, such as a bag of sand or feed. Parking structures are good because they require you to turn up each flight in the stairwell. Again, if the test requires turnout coat and SCBA, you may want to practice it in restrictive clothing and with a loaded backpack on your back. 

Figure 3. The stair step curve is the detected sample cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the combined detectors. We have weighted the two detectors equally so that the height of an IMB detection is 12/8 the height of a Kamiokande detection (note we have included the count at. 686 seconds rejected by the Kamiokande group as being too close to their threshold). If millions of counts had been seen, the CDF would be smooth and directly proportional to the number luminosity emitted by the supernova.

The structure of Ag(SCN)(PPr3) was found to contain zigzag polymeric —Ag—SCN—Ag— SCN chains,178 cross-linked in pairs by Ag—S bonds to form double chains having a stair-step... 

In contrast, in the orthorhombic needles, there is only one molecule in the asymmetric unit and it has a different external shape. While the nine-membered ring at the core of this molecule is planar, one of the pentyl groups protrudes nearly vertically, as seen in Parts B and C of Fig. 10. The molecular packing involves a stair step arrangement of trimers with relatively long distances between them with the closest contact of 3.618(2) A. The absence of strong aurophilic interactions between trimers may be responsible for the non-emissive nature of this polymorph.
