Structural Engineering
Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing?Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability.With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments.Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way.Start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximise the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used.Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary.Explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear and bending.Move onto building more complex models of trusses, roofs and small buildings.Experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge and suspension bridge.Finally, build models of towering skyscrapers. What is the tallest tower you can build using only the pieces included in the kit?Learn about the strength and stiffness of materials.See how structural engineers optimise factors to maximise safety, and minimise cost and the risk of structural failure.A 36-page, full-colour manual guides you through model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.

Applying the Rasch Model and Structural Equation Modeling to Higher Education : The Technology Satisfaction Model
This book introduces the fundamentals of the technology satisfaction model (TSM), supporting readers in applying the Rasch model and structural equation modeling (SEM) – a multivariate technique – to higher education (HE) research.User satisfaction is traditionally measured along a single dimension.However, the TSM includes digital technologies for teaching, learning and research across three dimensions: computer efficacy, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness.Establishing relationships among these factors is a challenge.Although commonly used in psychology to trace relationships, Rasch and SEM approaches are rarely used in educational technology or library and information science.This book, therefore, shows that combining these two analytical tools offers researchers better options for measurement and generalisation in HE research.This title presents theoretical and methodological insights of use to researchers in HE.

What are structural lesions?
Structural lesions refer to abnormal physical changes in the body's tissues or organs, often caused by injury, disease, or congenital abnormalities. These changes can be seen through medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Structural lesions can affect the function of the affected tissue or organ, leading to symptoms and health problems. Treatment for structural lesions may involve surgery, medication, or other interventions to address the underlying cause and improve the patient's health.

What is structural policy?
Structural policy refers to government interventions and strategies aimed at influencing the long-term structure of an economy. It focuses on addressing underlying issues such as market failures, inequality, and inefficiencies to promote sustainable economic growth and development. Structural policies can include measures such as investment in education and training, infrastructure development, regulatory reforms, and support for innovation and entrepreneurship. By targeting the fundamental drivers of economic performance, structural policy aims to enhance productivity, competitiveness, and overall welfare in an economy.

What is structural unemployment?
Structural unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills that workers possess and the skills that employers require. This mismatch can be due to changes in technology, shifts in consumer demand, or changes in the structure of the economy. Structural unemployment is often long-term in nature and can be difficult to address through short-term economic policies. It typically requires retraining programs, education initiatives, and other long-term solutions to help affected workers find new employment opportunities.

How to create structural formulas?
To create structural formulas, start by identifying the main functional groups present in the molecule. Then, determine the connectivity of atoms by analyzing the molecular formula. Next, draw the carbon skeleton, ensuring each carbon atom has the appropriate number of bonds. Finally, add in the remaining atoms and bonds according to the connectivity and valency rules. Double and triple bonds can be represented by drawing multiple lines between the atoms. Practice and familiarity with common functional groups will help in accurately creating structural formulas.

Structural Injustice
Madison Powers and Ruth Faden here develop an innovative theory of structural injustice that links human rights norms and fairness norms.Norms of both kinds are grounded in an account of well-being.Their well-being account provides the foundation for human rights, explains the depth of unfairness of systematic patterns of disadvantage, and locates the unfairness of power relations in forms of control some groups have over the well-being of other groups.They explain how human rights violations and structurally unfair patterns of power and advantage are so often interconnected. Unlike theories of structural injustice tailored for largely benign social processes, Powers and Faden's theory addresses typical patterns of structural injustice-those in which the wrongful conduct of identifiable agents creates or sustains mutually reinforcing forms of injustice.These patterns exist both within nation-states and across national boundaries.However, this theory rejects the claim that for a structural theory to be broadly applicable both within and across national boundaries its central claims must be universally endorsable.Instead, Powers and Faden find support for their theory in examples of structural injustice around the world, and in the insights and perspectives of related social movements.Their theory also differs from approaches that make enhanced democratic decision-making or the global extension of republican institutions the centerpiece of proposed remedies.Instead, the theory focuses on justifiable forms of resistance in circumstances in which institutions are unwilling or unable to address pressing problems of injustice.The insights developed in Structural Injustice will interest not only scholars and students in a range of disciplines from political philosophy to feminist theory and environmental justice, but also activists and journalists engaged with issues of social justice.

Structural Anthropology Zero
This volume of Lévi-Strauss's writings from 1941 to 1947 bears witness to a period of his work which is often overlooked but which was the crucible for the structural anthropology that he would go on to develop in the years that followed. Like many European Jewish intellectuals, Lévi-Strauss had sought refuge in New York while the Nazis overran and occupied much of Europe. He had already been introduced to Jakobson and structural linguistics but he had not yet laid out an agenda for structuralism, which he would do in the 1950s and 60s.At the same time, these American years were the time when Lévi-Strauss would learn of some of the world's most devastating historical catastrophes - the genocide of the indigenous American peoples and of European Jews. From the beginning of the 1950s, Lévi-Strauss's anthropology tacitly bears the heavy weight of the memory and possibility of the Shoah.To speak of 'structural anthropology zero' is therefore to refer to the source of a way of thinking which turned our conception of the human on its head.But this prequel to Structural Anthropology also underlines the sense of a tabula rasa which animated its author at the end of the war as well as the project – shared with others – of a civilizational rebirth on novel grounds. Published here in English for the first time, this volume of Lévi-Strauss’s texts from the 1940s will be of great interest to students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences generally.

Nuclear Structural Engineering
This book is designed to help for developing the general understanding of all the knowledge essential to ensure the reactor’s structural integrity.For this purpose, it not only explains basic knowledge of nuclear reactor structure engineering but also allows readers to learn how to systematize this knowledge as they study structural standards.This book first defines structural integrity and explains the concept of structural standards that is used for ensuring integrity, and then describes strength of materials (or mechanics of materials), which is vital as a means of designing components’ dimensions and other elements, and the finite element analysis, which has been developed on the basis of strength of materials and has been going mainstream in recent years.Subsequently, the book explains how components are designed, fabricated and examined in practice.In particular, with respect to design, the book places emphasis on what should be considered insizing of components, and provides a description of practical activities of sizing and other elements.This is an open access book.

What does structural unemployment mean?
Structural unemployment refers to a type of unemployment that occurs due to a mismatch between the skills and qualifications of workers and the available job opportunities in the market. This mismatch can be caused by changes in technology, shifts in consumer demand, or changes in the structure of industries. Unlike cyclical unemployment, which is influenced by fluctuations in the business cycle, structural unemployment is more long-term in nature and requires retraining or relocation of workers to address.

What is a structural formula?
A structural formula is a type of chemical formula that shows the arrangement of atoms within a molecule. It uses lines to represent chemical bonds between atoms and shows how the atoms are connected to each other. This type of formula provides more detailed information about the molecular structure compared to a molecular formula, which only gives the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule. Structural formulas are important for understanding the properties and behavior of molecules in chemistry.

What exactly is structural violence?
Structural violence refers to the systematic ways in which social structures, institutions, and policies harm individuals or groups by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. This form of violence is often embedded in societal norms and power dynamics, leading to inequalities and injustices that can persist over time. Examples of structural violence include poverty, discrimination, lack of access to healthcare or education, and unequal distribution of resources. It is important to address and dismantle these underlying structures in order to create a more just and equitable society.

What is a structural change?
A structural change refers to a significant shift or transformation in the fundamental components or organization of a system, organization, or economy. This change typically involves a reconfiguration of the underlying framework, processes, or relationships within the system, leading to a new and different state. In the context of economics, a structural change can involve a shift in the composition of an economy's output, employment, or industry composition, often resulting in long-term changes to the overall economic structure. These changes can be driven by technological advancements, shifts in consumer preferences, or changes in government policies, among other factors.
