Sentence examples for expansion intensity from inspiring English sources

In order to evaluate the spatial distribution of urban expansion intensity, we adapted an indicator called annual urban growth rate (AGR) for evaluating the "urbanization" speed of unit area (Xiao et al. 2006).

Specifically, between 1987 and 2016, expansion intensity (EIPI) and expansion rate pressure indicators (ERPI) increased from 60.27 ha/a to 520.88 ha/a, and from 3.04%/a to 10.21%/a, respectively.

Results showed that between 1979 and 2009 urbanization accelerated based on four indicators: gross domestic product (GDP), total population (TP), non-agricultural population proportion (NAPP), and expansion intensity index (EII).

Using the InVEST modelling suite, we evaluated critical ES dynamics in four zones of varying plantation expansion intensity (high, medium, low and no plantation expansion) in Xishuangbanna prefecture in Southwest China from 1976 to 2012.

However, there are also other predictors of epidemic expansion intensity including time since epidemic emergence, and other factors such as setting of injection and country, both of which were significant predictive proxies for the risk environment (Table 2).

Overall, before 2000, urban expansion rate and intensity was significantly higher in the eastern region than that in the middle and western regions.

The results provide clear insight into the spatial heterogeneity of the urban expansion rate and intensity going back to the late 1970s.

Using multi-temporal remote sensing data of land-use change, this paper employs urban expansion rate and intensity as well as several landscape metrics to conduct a quantitative analysis on urban expansion patterns of 18 cities in different regions in China.

By performing a transformation from the large amount of finite element unknowns to a small set of coefficients of the symplectic expansion, the stress intensity factors, the displacements and stresses in the singular region are obtained simultaneously without any post-processing.

These variations in the state of expansion (rather than intensity of pigment) of dark chromatophores are responsible for variations in contrast of the chromatic patterns produced [9], [10], [11], [12].

There was an increase in landscape heterogeneity within the watershed that varied from 1.21% in 1992 to 1.34% in 2011, with agricultural practices and forest regions competing due to the expansion of varying intensities of urban development.
