In each case, the cost to the Kremlin of allowing private media was greater thanbefore.Future work might use our framework to explore other elements of government control ofthe media. In many countries, for example, the media are owned by individuals close to thegovernment rather than by the state directly.
Updated February 20, 2017. Definition: A gradient, or graduated fill, is a color fill that gradually blends from one color to another. A gradient can contain more than two colors, all fading smoothly from one to another. Gradients are very useful for creating shading for three-dimensional and metallic effects.
The gradient is: Note we have calculated only the magnitude of the gradient. But like the main magnetic field, the gradient (G) is a vector, possessing both magnitude and direction. By convention, the direction of the main magnetic field is designated to be the z-axis. For completeness, therefore, we should say the gradient (G) is a vector of magnitude 2 mT/meter in the z-direction. Alternatively, we could write G = Gz = 2 mT/meter. Since in our example the magnetic field did not change either direction or magnitude in the x- or y-directions, we can also state Gx = 0 and Gy =0.
