In a next step, advances made in individually-based, spatially explicit approaches can be utilised to test the processes we suggest are underlying the macro-scale patterns observed in this study (Beck et al. 2012).
Proponents posit the system's advanced cognitive capabilities, noting its ability to read 200 million pages of text in 3 seconds, and highlighting its efficacy in synthesizing copious amounts of unstructured data to determine macro-scale patterns and propose models to aid the diagnostic process.
… And that's the cool thing about John Harte: He is saying, let's keep it simple … and just with four parameters, at a mini or a macro scale, you can figure out how to describe these patterns.
Improved surface interpolation is critical for improved understanding of macro-scale windstorm patterns and resulting damage, thus improving risk and vulnerability estimates.
The results of our experiments proved that none of the existing hydrodynamic models can give us a complete picture of macro-scale flow patterns occuring in bubble columns.
This multidisciplinary approach, titled here marine macrophysiology, facilitates unique insight into the foundation of macro-scale ecological patterns, such as biogeographic distributions, via examination of functional attributes of marine organisms across large spatial scales.
The experimental programme, carried out in a bubble column reactor of 0.14 m in diameter and 4.1 m in height, included determination of gas and liquid phase residence time distribution (RTD) characteristics for different modes of primary gas dispersion and flow visualisation experiments aimed at identification of macro-scale flow patterns in the reactor.
An experimental study has been aimed at linking the extent of axial mixing in gas and liquid phases in tall bubble column reactors with the respective bubbling regimes (homogeneous, transition, heterogeneous) encountered in such reactors and with corresponding macro-scale flow patterns of both phases.
Moreover, the environmental characteristics of a specific habitat are not random, but are considered to be controlled by macro-scale geomorphic patterns (Frissell and others 1986).
These data also provide some of the first information on patterns of microsynteny in lepidopteran genomes, complementing recent work showing marked patterns of synteny conservation at a macro scale between H. melpomene and the silk moth Bombyx mori [ 11].
At a length scale intermediate between the particle size and macro scale, damage occurs through the formation of micro crack arrays with a well-defined pattern.
