"Wherever we turn, we see diverse things scaled for us, from cities to economies, from history to love. We know scale by many names and through many familiar antinomies: local and global, micro and macro events. Even the ...

This contribution presents the theoretical foundations of a Formulation (FOMF) for modeling heterogeneous softening-based materials undergoing strain localization phenomena. The multi-scale model considers two coupled ...

The joint "International Forests and Water Conference 2018" highlighted among its main conclusions the need to involve the viewpoint and participation of local communities in the management and monitoring of forest watersheds. ...

Combined heat and power on a residential scale, also known as micro-cogeneration, is currently gaining traction as an energy savings practice. The configuration of micro-cogeneration systems is highly variable, as local ...

El estudio de los índices de confort es importante pues brindan información necesaria para orientar las políticas públicas destinadas al ordenamiento del espacio urbano, al igual que al ordenamiento y planificación de las ...

This paper presents a new semi-concurrent multi-scale model to study the behaviour of composite materials in softening regime. A mixed formulation is used to simulate discontinuities in both scales. The traction over the ...

Interference competition for limited habitat or refuges is known to produce density-dependent mortality and generate patterns of micro-habitat distribution. While in mobile species the outcome of interference at a local ...

Stream systems incorporate different spatial scales in successive levels. The comprehension of this hierarchy allows more effective management and conservation measures. Many factors are correlated in space and act ...
