In the following, we present new insights on breaking a stagnant lid by (i) small-scale convection in combination with a free surface and by (ii) global mantle convection in combination with either a lateral gradient in mantle temperature or narrow plumes impinging on the base of the lithosphere.
When I think about organic farming, I think family farm, I think small scale, I think hedgerows and compost piles and battered pickup trucks.
Ductile crack growth under mode I, plane strain, small scale yielding conditions is analyzed.
In this paper, the effects of crack-tip shape on the stress and deformation fields ahead of blunted cracks in glassy polymers are numerically investigated under Mode I loading and small scale yielding conditions.
To advance the technical readiness for the proposed lunar missions, including a lunar plant growth lander, lunar "salad machine" (i.e. small scale plant production unit) and a full scale lunar plant production system, a suite of terrestrial developments and analogue systems are proposed.
At times, I will combine small scale with large scale in installations to explore the idea of what is real, and how reality is ultimately subjective".
In this paper, experimental data of Langrich and Macariof for industrial scale (i.e., 0.801 m in diameter) and small scale (i.e., 0.148 m in diameter) have been utilized (as cited in Makarytechev et al. [6]).
His mother, a factory worker, sent her children to Roman Catholic school, "but I was tired of being poor, so on a small scale I began drug dealing," he says.
In one sense, I'm optimistic, in that the period in which I've got to know the river over about 12, 15 years I have seen these small scale initiatives and changes which are really fascinating.
"I've always liked small scale," he continues.
