Accordingly, there is a necessity for multi-scale analyses in landscape ecology to accurately evaluate the relative importance of landscape context at different spatial scales.
By coupling surface metrics, multi-scale analyses, and correlograms, quantifying floodplain topographic complexity is possible in ways that should assist in clarifying how floodplain ecosystems are structured.
Recommendations are made with future direction for R&D including the need of new advanced experiments and instrumentation, and the future role of CFD and multi-scale analyses.
However, the beneficial effects of such a practice have been understood only in light of recent studies on unsaturated soil and multi-scale analyses.
Spatial multi-scale analyses of actual land use system performance as determined by spatial yield variability reveals the need for landscape research in agronomy.
Nevertheless, by considering uncertainty in their properties, a significant computational cost is added to the solution of a large set of realisations represented by expensive fully-coupled multi-scale analyses.
Multi-scale analyses were carried out on polyamide 66 (PA66) fibres by single fibre mechanical tests, scanning electron microscopy observations, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) characterisation coupled with profile fitting procedure and μ-Raman extensometry.
On the other hand, the high computational effort associated with micro-mechanical or crystal plasticity-type models usually prevents their use in large structural simulations, multi-scale analyses, or design and property optimization computations.
Using the solution to Eshelby's spherical inhomogeneity problem that we derive in this paper, we propose Mori–Tanaka estimates of the effective properties of stress-gradient composites with spherical inclusions, thus opening the way to more advanced multi-scale analyses of stress-gradient materials.
Multi-scale analyses make it possible to show local situations throughout an entire country or region.
The representations of different scales are illustrated in Figure 2. The biological insights gained from multi-scale analyses of physiological processes have been noted previously [ 28, 29].
