This title brings together a variety of papers presented at the 9th
annual Meso meeting in 2007. The topics selected for Meso 2007 are
designed to illustrate the relation of thresholds to multiscaling:
* Flow through capillary tubes in contrast to pipes
* Laminar and turbulent flow transition
* Heat convection of thin wires in contrast to cylinders
* Electrical conductance of macro- and nano-circuits
* Rubbery and glassy polymers
* Single- and poly-crystal behavior
* Strength of wires and round cylindrical bars
* Uni-axial and multi-axial material: linear and non-linear
response
* Thin and thick plate behavior
* Brittle and ductile fracture
* Small and large crack growth behavior
* Low and high temperature effects
* Local and global material property characteristics
* Small and large bodies: size and time effects
* Specimen and structure
