The loading induced by extreme wind events, such as "downburst storms", hurricanes and tornadoes is naturally transient and nonstationary in comparison with the hypothesis of stationary wind loads, used in both structural engineering research and practice.
A second approach to increasing well-being is to pay more attention to spiritual development and healing [ 59]: " The healing process not only incorporates a new way of living with and controlling symptoms, but also an increasing adeptness of navigating social realms to overcome stigmatizing and discriminatory social-structural beliefs and practices.
Decisions to establish traditional structural and nonstructural management practices on sub-watersheds of Conesus Lake were based on field assessments, soil testing, the Phosphorus Index, and the software package Cornell Cropware.
New radicalism in social work has been based on five main pillars: democracy, empathy, militancy, anti-oppressiveness and structural practice.
The relationship between proposed and conventional formulations, i.e. those commonly accepted in the current structural engineering practice and employed by the current progressive collapse analysis methods based on Smith's approach, is discussed throughout the article and illustratively exemplified through the case of the pure symmetric bending of the Euler Bernoulli cantilever.
In a major study of ECEC, the OECD (2006) identified seven aspects of quality — (1) interaction or process quality, (2) child-outcome quality, (3) standards pertaining to parent/community outreach and involvement, (4) orientation quality, (5) structural quality, (6) educational concept and practice and (7) operational quality — these can be reconfigured within the two types of quality.
Instead of rejecting the structural vulnerability paradigm or being paralysed by the apparent impasse, I argue that scholars, practitioners and policy-makers should focus on the ways in which structural vulnerability benefits disaster theory and practice, and foreground the relational character of vulnerability.
Structural characteristics of practices include practice location, practice type, consultation patterns, gender, and the number of years since graduation as a proxy for physicians' experience.
They can be used in bridge and structural engineering and building practice as bearing suspended systems of pedestrian and pipeline bridges, as well as of large-span roofs and floors in buildings.
The Spearman rank coefficient of correlation was applied to measure the association between online ratings and practice-related structural and quality of care information since none of our dependent variables from both PRWs were normally distributed according to the Shapiro-Wilk test (p < 0.001, data not shown here).
