salient angle

It is a work in a V-shaped salient angle toward an expected attack.

The salient angle is occupied by a bartizan.

It was a perfect redan, where two parapets met in a salient angle at the front corner of the porch.

The other two sides meet at the rear salient angle at a guardhouse, which is now ruined.

The ditch is ably protected by a grand caponier to the west with smaller demi-caponiers at the north, southwest and south salient angles.

The enamel has been removed along the entire length of the salient angles, leaving a smooth edge in some cases and a surprisingly uneven edge in others.

Also it does not usually penetrate through the enamel and into the dentine, so that the corners of the teeth are rounded and the salient angles flattened.

The other type of damage is chipping of the salient angles of microtine teeth, where whole corners of the tooth are broken away (Fig. 1.5D).

Irascible, envious--bad enough, but not the worst, for these salient angles were all varnished over with a cold, repellant cynicism, his passions vented themselves in sneers.

Enough rocks had piled in front of the western wall to form a salient angle, a wedge-shaped mass that tended to deflect rolling missiles to the right or left of the target.

In June of that year, the municipal limits were extended to "a circle drawn at a distance of five hundred yards beyond the salient angles of the bastions of the fortifications.

On microtine molars the digestion in category 1 predators is restricted mainly to the occlusal corners of the salient angles of the teeth and does not penetrate below the alveolar margins.

The molars of microtine prey from these species have strongly rounded corners and deeply penetrated salient angles, with the enamel entirely removed from these projecting angles and the dentine exposed.

Each of the five points was crowned by a redoubt, the salient angles of which made it possible for the defenders to lay down a covering fire on the curtain walls of the fort, which before would have been dead ground, and indefensible.

Kleine Scheidegg is among the most celebrated mountain passes in the Swiss Alps because of its position just north of the point where the Bernese Alps makes a salient angle, whose apex is the Eiger.

From the head of the Val Pelline the main chain runs north-west, and diminishes much in average height until it reaches the Mont Thabor (3,178 m), which forms the apex of a salient angle which the main chain here presents towards.

The usual form of font cover during the hundred years before the Reformation was pyramidal, the ribs of the salient angles being Fo straight and cusped (Frindsbury, Kent) or of curved outline and cusped (St Mildred, Canterbury).

According to Appleton's Annual Cyclopædia, "... The guns that bore on the three batteries at the west end of 'Sullivan's Island' were 10 32-pounders, situated on the left face, and on at the pan-coupe of the salient angle, (four embrasures being bricked up.)"

Murid and cricetid teeth have the enamel smoothed and flattened but usually not penetrated by the digestion: because murid teeth are more rounded than microtine molars, and lack the prominent ridges (salient angles) of the latter, the effects of digestion are harder to identify (Fig. 3.17 E).

On microtine molars, the damage to the enamel again extends along the salient angles (Fig. 3.20 A), but there is considerable digestion of the dentine which undermines the enamel shell and causes it to collapse inwards (Fig. 3.20 B) along the length of the salient angles.
