Sentences with phrase «force on a greater scale»

He points out that the ring structure, which Lipson says is designed for both low mass and malleability, harnesses the optical force on a greater scale than the smaller vibrating beam did.

Not exact matches

A great many of our contemporaries, perhaps the majority, still regard the technico - cultural knitting together of human society as a sort of para-biological epi - phenomenon very inferior in organic value to other combinations achieved on the molecular or cellular scale by the forces of Life.

Vuletic says that at the nanoscale, friction may exact a greater force — for instance, creating wear and tear on tiny motors much faster than occurs at larger scales.

With such resources at its disposal, Omega Force is well positioned to push for greater international success, but there's at least one major barrier to the Warriors games going global on a bigger scale: graphics.

... Polar amplification explains in part why Greenland Ice Sheet and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appear to be highly sensitive to relatively small increases in CO2 concentration and global mean temperature... Polar amplification occurs if the magnitude of zonally averaged surface temperature change at high latitudes exceeds the globally averaged temperature change, in response to climate forcings and on time scales greater than the annual cycle.

Unforced variability of global temperature is great, as shown in Figure 4, but the global temperature trend on decadal and longer time scales is now determined by the larger human - made climate forcing.

Even on the global scale, the annual, global - averaged radiative forcing predicted by the models is significantly greater than has been observed based on the accumulation of Joules in the climate system.

However, regional variations are expected because of greater climate «noise» (unforced variability) on small scales, possible regional climate forcings, and known mechanisms that affect the large scale spatial variation of global warming.
