  Hierarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, the study of taxonomy is one of the most conventionally hierarchical kinds of knowledge, placing all living beings in a nested structure of divisions related to their probable evolutionary descent.
Hierarchical reasoning about the underlying structure of language expressions leads some linguists to the hypothesis that the world's languages are bound together in a broad array of variants subordinate to a single Universal Grammar.
In music, the structure of a composition is often understood hierarchically (for example by Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935, see Schenkerian analysis), and in the (1985) Generative Theory of Tonal Music, by composer Fred Lerdahl and linguist Ray Jackendoff).

 Mills - Power Elite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In so far as the structural clue to the power elite today lies in the political order, that clue is the decline of politics as genuine and public debate of alternative decisions--with nationally responsible and policy-coherent parties and with autonomous organizations connecting the lower and middle levels of power with the top levels of decision.
The shape and meaning of the power elite today can be understood only when these three sets of structural trends are seen at their point of coincidence: the military capitalism of private corporations exists in a weakened and formal democratic system containing a military order already quite political in outlook and demeanor.
All the structural coincidence of their interests as well as the intricate, psychological facts of their origins and their education, their careers and their associations make possible the psychological affinities that prevail among them, affinities that make it possible for them to say of one another: He is, of course, one of us.

 Russia's New Federal Power Structure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
According to one of the authors of the presidential decree, the ultimate goal of this document is the creation of a fundamentally new structure of power capable of implementing constitutional powers of the head of state across the entire country.
It is sufficient to remember the recent history of Northern Caucasus, where federal power structures were unable to prevent expansion of militaristic nationalism due to poor coordination.
However, in three months, according to the presidential order, an entirely new command structure will be developed for controlling federal power structures, combining powers of civilian and military leaders in the given region in the hands of one person.

 Power Structure in Rural China
Here I will show that the basic power structure of the village, characterized by the dominance of the village party cadres, has not changed after the reform; therefore, ordinary peasants have gained little in terms of their access to and control over formal political channels.
Power is still concentrated in the hands of a small circle of party cadres, with the party secretary at the apex of the power hierarchy.
Combining the strong party-centered power structure and collective control over village enterprises, the cadres of Hongqi Village have successfully adapted to the changing economic and political conditions of the post-Mao era.

 The Structure of Power in Iran
At the top of Iran's power structure is the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who succeeded Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranian Revolution, upon Ayatollah Khomeini's death in 1989.
He also appoints six of the twelve members of the Council of Guardians, the powerful body that oversees the activities of Parliament and determines which candidates are qualified to run for public office.
According to the MOIS foundation law, which was passed by Parliament in 1983, the ministry is charged with the "gathering, procurement, analysis, and classification of necessary information inside and outside the country." It is responsible for disclosing conspiracies that sabotage the integrity of the Islamic Republic.

 Scientific fraud and the power structure of science, by Brian Martin
There are a number of reasons, but here the focus is on the power structure of science, namely the interest groups that fund science and reap disproportionate benefits from it.
This serves rather than threatens the power structure of science, and is seldom seen as a problem at all.
Structural changes that would affect the level of misrepresentation and bias in science include reducing the power of scientific elites, untying the link between quantity of publication and career advancement and reducing the impact of government and industry funding on science.

 USCFL - Inside Syria's Power Structure
Contrasting with this structure, a hidden side of the regime exists: the informal power exercised mainly by the heads of the security services and by senior army officers-in short, the men on whom the regime depends for its stability and its future.
Their positions of power may not be recognized by the constitution, but they are indicative of the political weight and the intrinsic (rather than numerical) strength of the elements of the coalition.
The informal ruling cadres, by contrast, attest to the real power and predominance of the 'Alawis: Close to 90 percent of the officers commanding the major military formations are 'Alawis, and so are most of the top echelons in the various security services.

 Community Structure and Media Risk Coverage
The community with a centralized power base: Communities in which power is in the hands of a few individuals are usually small, homogeneous settings.
Community structure did not emerge as a predictor of daily newspapers' likelihood of covering a 1991 report about toxic contaminants produced by industries in their communities.
Indeed, the newspaper itself is part of the power structure, and its goal -- with respect to Better Brite -- is not to make citizens aware of the problems posed by the site but to alert them to the good job that city officials are doing in dealing with the problem.

 Power, Agrarian Structure, and Peasant Mobilization in Modern India - Majid Siddiqi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The landlords asserted their proprietary rights, by emphasizing their power to evict tenants while the latter claimed, and were occasionally and with increasing frequency granted, occupancy rights.
While the agrarian structure remained unequal and indeed skewed, the greater stratification of rights in Indian rural society both within the category of 'landlord' as well as within the category of 'tenant' altered the relationship between different agrarian social classes.
The protest against the structure of legal authority which allowed such land transfer took the form of antimoney lender riots.

 Power Structure Research
Power structure research is an approach to the study of power that highlights the unequal distribution of resources upon which power is based (e.g., wealth, political office, control of the mass media) and the importance of formal and informal social networks as the means by which power is concentrated and institutionalized.
Modern power structure research has its roots in the radical social movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
Much power structure research is conducted by academic social scientists, although similar studies are often undertaken by independent scholars, investigative journalists, trade union researchers, and social movement activists.

Structure is what everyone needs while writing and some need extra help.
Me, I tend not to use these more "power" features so often with short stories, but on bigger projects like novels, I may turn to them to get an idea of how it is flowing from a "mile-high-view".
Power Structure walks all over it in terms of its ability to structure and manage the actual story, though.

This balanced, thoroughly researched study of church structure and strategy reveals the ways archdiocesan governance is affected by the personalities and preferences of its leaders and the environment in which they operate.
His power is also limited by the financial and personnel resources he has available and by the social and ecclesial environment in which he operates._ Finally, he is limited by the traditions and expectations of the priests and people of his archdiocese.
And it is through the structures of governance that he must interact with other actors in the archdiocese and attempt to influence its direction.

 Scaling New Heights in Power MOSFETs
In the DMOSFET structure, the MOS channel is formed on the surface by using the double-diffusion process with the channel length controlled by the relative diffusion depth of the p-base and n
Analysis of the distribution of the resistances within the DMOSFET structure indicates that the channel contribution is dominant due to the relatively low channel density in the DMOSFET structure.
In the trench-gate structure, which is also commonly referred to as the UMOSFET structure, the channel is formed on the vertical sidewalls of a trench etched into the silicon surface.

 Paradigm Shift in Planar Power MOSFET Technology
In a typical 12-V power supply delivering power at an output voltage of 1.2 V, the duty cycle is 10% — with the control FET on for 10% of the time and the Sync FET on for 90% of the time during each period.
As the power supply current required by the microprocessors has increased, it has been found that multiple phases of the sync-buck circuit are required.
This may be acceptable from the point of view of the power dissipation in the Schottky diode as well as minimizing its leakage current.

 frontline: terror and tehran: inside iran: the structure of power in iran | PBS
The obvious difference lies in the fact that Iran is an Islamic theocracy, and that one man, the Supreme Leader, exerts ideological and political control over a system dominated by clerics who shadow every major function of the state.
At the top of Iran's power structure is the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who succeeded Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranian Revolution, upon Khomeini's death in 1989.
Also under the control of the Supreme Leader are the foundations (called bonyads) that operate hundreds of companies and, according to some estimates, are allocated over half of the state budget and account for as much as 40 percent of the economy.
