Planted beside it is an American flag whose red and white stripes become ragged from the elements and wind.

Federer on Tuesday stopped short of criticizing Verdasco — acknowledging that nerves can become ragged in competition — but he did stress the need to respect ball kids.

The precise frames that surrounded his character early in the film start to become ragged, more chaotic, until he's having one final fight in a vehicle slowly sinking beneath the waves of what seems to be the Pacific Ocean, heightened by climate change.

The JTWC estimated one-minute maximum sustained winds at 285 km/h (180 mph). Typhoon Nepartak approaching Taiwan on July 7 Maintaining peak intensity for a day, Nepartak started to slow down and weaken on July 7, owing to the topography of Taiwan inhibiting the inflow on the western side of the low-level circulation. By 12:00 UTC, Nepartak's eye had become ragged and cloud-filled.

Healthy trees growing in proximity to heavily infested trees are occasionally attacked but almost always without success. Hickory and persimmon wood (useful in the manufacture of small products such as shuttle blocks, mallets, and mauls is sometimes seriously damaged. Hickory is one of several host species of the twig girdler (Oncideres cingulata). Infested trees and seedlings are not only damaged severely but become ragged and unattractive.

After maintaining Supertyphoon status for 42 hours, the storm began to weaken as it swung westward. The typhoon briefly regained supertyphoon status on June 18 before finally weakening again a few hours later. The next day, Dianmu swung northward as the center was located southeast of Okinawa. As it turned northward, dry air entered the storm causing the center to become ragged and eventually resulted in the storm weakening further as the winds dropped to on June 19.

Moreover, Hurricane Rick was, at that time, the second intense hurricane on record in the CPHC's area of responsibility; only Hurricane Patsy during the 1959 Pacific hurricane season exceeded Rick in intensity. Since then, however, many storms have suppressed Rick in terms of both wind speed and pressure. Following a path similar to Pauline, the hurricane moved northwest, encountering increased southwesterly shear, which commenced a weakening trend. On September 10, Rick's eye started to become ragged and cloud-filled, when it was downgraded into a Category 3 hurricane.

There was uncertainty in predictive storm models around this time whether Mekunu would continue to the northwest, or turn to the northeast, although the storm would continue its northwest trajectory for the remainder of its duration. On May 24, Mekunu weakened slightly due to a bout of easterly wind shear, causing the eye to become ragged. However, the storm re-intensified, and the thunderstorms organized into a compact area near the center around the eye. The IMD upgraded Mekunu to an extremely severe cyclonic storm on May 25, estimating peak 3-minute sustained winds of 175 km/h (110 mph).

In addition, Irma's wind field continued to increase in size, with hurricane-force winds spanning out a region of and gale-force winds spanning in diameter. The cyclone made landfall in Cudjoe Key, Florida, at 13:00 UTC on September 10, at Category 4 intensity, with winds of 130 mph (215 km/h). Increasing wind shear and land interaction caused the satellite appearance of the storm to become ragged later that day, and Irma weakened to Category 3 intensity before making its seventh and final landfall at 19:30 UTC, in Marco Island, Florida, with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h).

Leslie as a hurricane-force extratropical cyclone on 27 September Leslie continued its erratic movement as the steering current remained weak. The future development of Leslie was uncertain, due to the possibility of an approaching, larger low pressure system becoming dominant and absorbing Leslie, although some global forecast models maintained Leslie as the dominant system following the merger. Late on 24 September, Leslie embedded in an area with dry air and moderate wind shear, causing its cloud pattern to become ragged and less organised, and Leslie weakened to a subtropical depression early on 25 September. Twelve hours later, Leslie transited back to an extratropical low.

This means that a gradient of one substance in one direction, and a gradient of the same substance in a perpendicular direction, result in a single one-dimensional gradient in the diagonal direction, not a two dimensional gradient. Developmental biologists frequently invoke a two dimensional gradient even though a two dimensional gradient system requires two morphogen gradients with two different sources and sinks placed approximately perpendicular to one another. # Fluctuations in gradients always occur, especially at the low concentrations commonly found during embryogenesis, making a specific response by an individual cell to particular concentration thresholds problematic. # Each cell has to be able to “read” the morphogen concentration accurately, otherwise boundaries between tissues become ragged.

Radar loop of Irma making landfall in the Florida Keys on September 10 Irma made landfall in Cudjoe Key, Florida at 13:00 UTC on September 10 at Category 4 intensity, with winds of 130 mph (215 km/h) and a central pressure of . This made Irma the first Category 4 hurricane to strike Florida since Hurricane Charley in 2004. In addition, Irma's landfall in the Florida Keys marked the first time on record two Category 4 hurricanes made landfall in the continental U.S. within the same season – with Hurricane Harvey having made landfall at roughly the same intensity in Texas just over two weeks prior. Increasing wind shear and land interaction caused the satellite appearance of the storm to become ragged later that day, and Irma weakened to Category 3 intensity before making its seventh and final landfall at 19:30 UTC in Marco Island, Florida, with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) and a central pressure of .
