However, our results reveal that even in initially pure tensile cases, for low strain rates and brittle materials, fragment interactions drastically change the fragmentation process as well as the fragments' residual velocities.
In parallel, 5 times cross validations were performed using SOHN, SVN, RF, kNN and DT models for the same dataset and using the fragments generated in the fragmentation process as descriptors in order to use the same feature space.
However, while the fragmentation process, inconsistent fragments are generated and affect badly the identification accuracy.
It is observed that the linear exponential distribution proposed by Grady and Kipp [Geometric statistics and dynamic fragmentation. J. Appl. Phys 1985 58 3 1210 22] adequately represents the cumulative fragment distribution throughout the fragmentation process.
The aim of this work was to analyze the fragmentation process, considering spatial (fragments and landscape levels) and temporal (land use changes) scales, studying the effects on the forest structure (density and basal area) and tree recruitment.
An increase in the total number of fragments versus time confirms the fragmentation process in the area, whereas the average size of the patches shows decreasing, indicating that large patches were fragmented or divided.
First, not only are aDNA molecules highly fragmented [ 13], but the fragmentation process itself is biased toward breakpoints bordered by 5′ purine residues (and hence 3′ pyrimidine residues) [ 14] which could result in biased coverage patterns.
Our results reveal the importance of considering landscape and fragment scales simultaneously to better understand the fragmentation process and improve the recommendations for the management of fragmented landscapes.
The ability of an Eulerian hydrocode to describe the fragmentation process and reproduce the experimentally observed fragment mass and velocity distributions is presented and discussed.
However, this strategy has the drawback of producing a population of fragments smaller than 2 Kb; as a result, the fragmentation process used in the standard 454 GS FLX (Roche) shotgun procedure (nebulization), may not give optimal results since it is more suitable for high molecular weight molecules.
The basic features of the fragmentation process such as the initiation time and the evolution of the fragment size distribution are investigated.
