Gradient

The earth is sited in an energy gradient as on a hillside, with golden nuggets tumbling continually from above.

It is used under the condition with spatial gradient field of 72 T/m (value extrapolated) and less.

The gradient of a scalar-valued function of several variables is the vector which contains its partial derivatives with respect to each of its variables (when these derivatives exist).

The gradient of this hill is steep.

Racism may stem from an individual's "sampling problem" of other individuals of other races. If one befriends an intelligent or well-to-do member of another race, one develops an appreciation of that race. In statistics, one knows that intelligence distribution in a population is shaped by the bell curve, at the ends of which are extremes of the intelligence gradient. Granted, what each person looks for in another person may not be intelligence or wealth, but some other attributes, like physical beauty or emotional quotient.

The height and gradient can be adjusted.

You can adjust the height and gradient.

My friend Bothwell often refers to the belly as a “success curve”—the steeper the gradient, the higher the level of affluence.

Just beyond that station the first step is encountered and the rack resorted to, taking the line on a gradient of 1 in 9 over a steeply inclined bridge and through a spiral tunnel.
