The more general limitations of ecosystem models center on the interpretation of results. The processes occurring in a microcosm are not on the same time and spatial scales as those in the natural environment. Effects which are artifacts of the microcosm design are not always clearly distinguishable. In engineering models, these scaling effects are accounted for by the application of scaling criteria. Similar criteria need to be established for model ecosystems before environmental exposure predictions can be reliably made (707). 

Corrosion in indoor environments is an exceedingly complex process. Few environments have as many components that participate in the corrosion of materials as the indoor environments in which we live and work. While the indoor environment is less harsh than many other environments, e.g., chemical reactors and jet engines, its effects are particularly difficult to mimic through accelerated life testing because of the many possible chemical and physical interactions that can take place between environmental components and materials.

Environment is the natural environment (weather, climate, ocean conditions, terrain, vegetation, space conditions) combat environment (dust, fog, nuclear-chemical-biological) threat environment (effects of existing and potential threat systems to include electronic warfare and communications interception) operations environment (thermal, shock, vibration, power variations) transportation and storage environment maintenance environment test environments manufacturing environments (critical process conditions, clean room, stress) and other environments (e.g., software engineering environment, EM) related to system utilization. 

The reinforced soil technique, such as basal-reinforced breakwater constmction, is an example of a land-based technique employed in a marine engineering environment to provide a cost-effective solution to improve the stability of stmctures constmcted on soft marine foundation soils. The presence of soft marine foundation soils close to coastlines in bays, harbours, estuaries and deltas makes for difficult conditions on which to constmct stable marine stmctures. Reinforced soil is one technique along with other associated foundation consolidation and strengthening technologies that is expected to be used more often in these locations. 

Nondestmctive tests differ from methods of laboratory analysis and testing where specimens are generally sectioned, broken, damaged, or destroyed. Nondestmctive tests can be performed on materials, components, and stmctures or systems that actually are to be used. Thus, effective use of NDE requires engineering knowledge of the stmcture, the performance characteristics, and service environment, as well as the test method. More complete information on all of the topics discussed herein are available (1 6).
