There is, of course, a difference in scale between the gigantic turbines proposed for Fresh Kills and Mr. Masucci's humbler machine, besides other differences in metering technology.
As bad as things have been for those who suffered loss and discomfort from Hurricane Irma in the continental United States — where millions of Floridians evacuated their homes and fled north in slow-moving processions of possession-packed cars — the difference in scale between their experience and that of residents of the affected Caribbean islands cannot be overstated.
The difference in scale between the Planck length and that of particle physics is much greater than the comparison between particles and everyday objects.
There is a large difference in scale between large and small asperities, and unless one has an effective strategy, there is a huge calculation cost to repeatedly generating megathrust earthquakes (e.g., Rice 1993).
The difference in scale between these small devices and conventional wear testing rigs also creates problems in matching conditions between micro- and macro-situations and suggests that wear data might usefully be obtained from suitably designed MEMS devices acting as miniature wear test machines.
The growing disparity between those at the financial top and everyone else also seemed appropriately represented by the difference in scale between these two homes.
"What you can see is the difference in scale between Vancouver and the rest of Canada, between Vancouver and, say, Toronto, which is the financial capital, which you would think would have a very huge number of tax haven companies, or a higher proportion, but it doesn't".
