macro- locationとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

macrolocation (plural macrolocations)

1. A region or area that contains smaller sites or locations (microlocations).
   • 2018, Larry W. Canter, River Water Quality Monitoring:

     The macrolocation within a river basin is usually determined by areas of major pollution loads, population centers, etc. Macrolocation can be specified, as well, according to percent areal coverage using basin centroids.

   • 2019, Mangey Ram, ‎Hoang Pham, Advances in Reliability Analysis and its Applications, page 81:

     In the process of valorization and selection of acceptable potential microlocation for energy plants within the selected macrolocation, it is necessary to apply a certain procedure, which will be uniform in all its aspects.

   • 2022, Florian Diehlmann, Facility Location Planning in Relief Logistics, page 147:

     The score, moreover, aims to provide practical guidance in finding a macrolocation for new warehouses.

   • 2022, Craig Owen Jones, Princely Ambition: Ideology, castle-building and landscape in Gwynedd, 1194-1283:

     We cannot be emphatic on this point—the documentary evidence is too scarce—but analysis of microlocation and macrolocation appear to indicate that, in establishing these fortifications, consideration was given to the need to defend the Principality from attack.

2. The macroscopic area in which a microscopic event takes place or in which a microscopic focus exists.
   • 2009, Shota Kuwahara, Toshiki Sugaiab and Hisanori Shinohara, “Determining exact molar absorbance coefficients of single-wall carbon nanotubes”, in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics:

     CCD images for the macrolocation were also obtained.

   • 2012, J.P. Boehler, ‎Akhtar S. Khan, Anisotropy and Localization of Plastic Deformation, page 57:

     Fig. 1 shows the development of the macrolocation of strains depending on displacement h of the cutting-edge and the value of shearing force P_c. The macrolocation of strains starts directly after the loss of stability by the shearing force (Fig. 1b) .

   • 2017, JB Wiskel, J Ma, J Valloton, DG Ivey, H. Nenein, “Strain aging on the yield strength to tensile strength ratio of UOE pipe”, in Materials Science and Technology:

     […] steel composition via the C/Nb ratio (microstructure variation), through wall thickness position (both microstructure and strain history variation) and macrolocation […]

3. A movement to a new area, as opposed to a movement within the area in which one currently resides.
   • 2001 June, O Mokady, I Brickner, “Host-associated speciation in a coral-inhabiting barnacle”, in Molecular Biology and Evolution, volume 18, number 6:

     The shore is continuously lined with potential dead substrates, and there is no need for the larvae to perform “macrolocation” (they do need to perform “microlocation,” having arrived at an intertidal rock, to assure proximity to potential mates). In contrast, live hosts are not guaranteed to be at all locations, and macrolocation must also be performed.
