  Structural unit body having a pipe incorporated therein - Patent 3930347
A structural unit body according to claim 4 wherein said non-combustible material is thicker between said rear side of said stuffing box and said conduit means relative to the thickness between said front side of said stuffing box and said conduit means.
This invention relates to a structural unit body having a pipe incorporated therein and adapted for use in conjunction with the interior and exterior finishing of a structure such as a wall and floor and to a structure assembled utilizing such structural unit bodies.
One of the objects of providing a structural unit body having the pipe incorporated therein and the structure assembled with such structural unit bodies is to provide for the control of room temperature by passing hot water, cold water or hot air or cold air through the pipe incorporated into the unit body.

 Software Structural Testing Methods
Structural testing encompasses three critical phases of software development and testing; yet, one or more of these phases is often deliberately bypassed, overlooked, or performed in a less than rigorous manner because either the technical advantages are not fully considered or, more often, the cost and schedule benefits are not appreciated.
Software structural testing is meant to challenge the decisions made by the program with test cases based on the structure and logic of the design and source code.
Structural testing should be done at the unit, integration, and system levels of testing.2 (As used herein, a “unit” is the smallest separately compilable – or equivalent – element of code, such as a procedure, subroutine, class, method, or database table.) Structural testing assures the program’s statements and decisions are fully exercised by code execution.

  polymer - HighBeam Encyclopedia
The simple molecules that may become structural units are themselves called monomers; two monomers combine to form a dimer, and three monomers, a trimer.
An addition polymer is one in which the molecular formula of the repeating structural unit is identical to that of the monomer, e.g., polyethylene and polystyrene.
A condensation polymer is one in which the repeating structural unit contains fewer atoms than that of the monomer or monomers because of the splitting off of water or some other substance, e.g., polyesters and polycarbonates (see illustration).

 Structural Repair and Strengthening Techniques for Concrete Facilities
Structural strengthening, on the other hand, describes the process of upgrading the structural system of an existing building to improve performance under existing loads or to increase the strength of structural components to carry additional loads.
The effects of strengthening or removing part or all of a structural element — such as penetrations or deteriorated materials — must be analyzed carefully to determine their influence on the global behavior of the structure.
The structural upgrade of concrete structures can be achieved using one of many different upgrading methods such as span shortening, external composites, externally bonded steel, external or internal post-tensioning systems, section enlargement, or a combination of these techniques.

 Structural Representation
It is this view of objects as evolving structural processes that we aim to address here, in contrast to the ubiquitous mathematical view of objects as points in some abstract space.
To this end, redraw the popular image of particle collision as follows: substitute for each particle track a ‘regular’ structural process (paved with its ‘generators’, where each generator, in turn, is composed out of previous level units), and for the entire collision event, a ‘transformation’ that restructures the incoming regular processes into the resulting ones.
The gradual emergence of ETS, including the concepts of structural object and class representations, as well as the associated inductive learning processes and the representational levels, points to the beginning of a new field—inductive informatics—which is intended as a class oriented rival to conventional information processing paradigms.

 Re: The least spacetime structural unit
The third layer is thought of here initially as infalling onto the second layer, which is the outer twelve spheres of the cubeoctahedral least structural unit.
The cubeoctahedral shape, which is the least structural unit of Keplar space, has four hexagonal planes through the origin.
If we are to place the fourteenth sphere in one of these planes, it will have to be placed not in the dimple on the center of the face, but on the edge formed between two spheres of the second layer.

The parser is responsive to operation of the editor for reading the unit structures and corresponding codes of the string and generating a visually displayable representation (120) of the text.
Structural operators define organizational relationships between the units of the text and environmental operators define attributes of the characters and symbols of the text.
Structural operators also include associative operators defining an association between characters and symbols, wherein an associative operator operates to associate a character or symbol with another character or symbol to become a part of the definition of that other character or symbol.

 Tertiary Structure of Proteins
That is, it is a compact three dimensional structure resulting from the folding of a particular section of the polypeptide chain.
Hence, the domain is usually seen to be comprised of elements of secondary and supersecondary structure (or motifs) which may or may not be contiguous in the primary structure.
Indeed the type of secondary structure present in the domain is used as a basis for classification of structural domains.

 Structural Representation
An immediate and important consequence of the distinguishability (or multiplicity) of units in the construction process is that we can now see which unit was attached and when.
To gain some intuition about the nature of the above “structural unit”, one needs to “open it up” —to observe its formation at the previous stage of representation, at which it is called a ‘transformation’.
The gradual emergence of ETS—including the concepts of structural object and class representations, the resulting radically different view of “data”, as well as the associated inductive learning processes and the representational levels—points to the beginning of a new field, inductive informatics, which is intended as a class oriented rival to conventional information processing paradigms.

 Pasteur Institute - Structural Biology Unit
In collaboration with the Unite de Cholera and Vibrions, we have determined the crystal structure of a murine Fab fragment from a protective anti-cholera antibody specific for the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen of Vibrio cholerae, Ogawa serotype, in its unliganded form and in complex with synthetic fragments of the LPS.
This structural analysis helps to account for the serotype specificity of protective antibodies and provides a rational basis towards the development of a synthetic carbohydrate-based anti-cholera vaccine.
In particular, we have determined the crystal structure of a single cohesin subunit at 1.7 Å resolution, and showed that the hydrophobic effect is the major driving force of the cohesin-dockerin interaction.

 Method for manufacturing micro-structural unit patent invention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The wafer S5 is a so-called SOI (silicon on insulator) wafer, and has a laminated structure comprising a silicon layer 501, a silicon layer 502 and an insulating layer 503 located between these silicon layers.
However, in conventional bulk micro-machining techniques, since the degree of freedom regarding the thickness dimensions of the respective structural parts in a single micro-structural unit is low as was described above, it tends to be difficult to realize the desired thickness dimensions for each of a plurality of structural parts that have different thicknesses.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing micro-structural units which is suitable for realizing desired thickness dimensions for each of a plurality of structural parts that have different thicknesses.

 Silicate Structures, Olivines, Garnets, & Aluminosilicates
In order to discuss the silicates and their structures it is first necessary to remember that the way atoms are packed together or coordinated by larger anions, like oxygen depends on the radius ratio of the cation to the anion, Rx/Rz.
If two of the oxygens are shared and the structure is arranged in a ring, such as that shown here, we get the basic structural unit of the cyclosilcates or ring silicates.
In this case the basic structural group is Si The micas, clay minerals, chlorite, talc, and serpentine minerals are all based on this structure.
