Growth without Scale Effects [PDF]
Journal of Political Economy, 1998 An increase in the size (scale) of an economy increases the total quantity of rents that can be captured by successful innovators which, in equilibrium, should lead to a rise in innovative activity. Conventional wisdom and the theoretical predictions of models of endogenous innovation suggest that this increased research effort should lead to more ...

Land use mediates riverine nitrogen export under the dominant influence of human activities
Environmental Research Letters, 2017 Riverine nitrogen (N) export is a crucial process that links upstream and downstream ecosystems and coastal zones. However, the driving forces of riverine N export that is closely related to water N pollution are still not well understood. In this study,

Tensioned flexible riser vibrations under wave excitation, an investigation on the scale effect
Frontiers in Marine ScienceIn order to study the scale effect in wave-structure interactions and the role that structure-related parameters (tension T or bending stiffness EI) plays, riser model tests under regular waves were conducted using the model with multiple geometric ...

Effects of small‐scale dynamo and compressibility on the Λ effect [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2019 AbstractThe Λ effect describes a rotation‐induced nondiffusive contribution to the Reynolds stress. It is commonly held responsible for maintaining the observed differential rotation of the Sun and other late‐type stars. Here, the sensitivity of the Λ effect to small‐scale magnetic fields and compressibility is studied by means of forced turbulence ...

Numerical simulation of size effect on shear strength and deformation behavior of rockfill materials
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018 The scale effect of rockfill materials is crucial to predicting the strength and deformation of earth-rockfill dams. Due to their large particle size and the experimental restrictions, large triaxial tests on full scale samples are seldom conducted.
