His edifice, structuralism — the theory of a structural unity in all cultures — was built on the work of the linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and on the sociology of Marcel Mauss.
First, the structural stability of the edifice, and therefore its susceptibility to catastrophic collapse, depends on the integrity of this rapidly emplaced mélange of coherent lava flows and poorly consolidated volcaniclastic deposits (e.g. Gudmundsson 2011).
Such an edifice owes its structural integrity to two kinds of features: a firm foundation and a superstructure of support beams firmly anchored to the foundation.
Certain events serve as structural devices to support his vast edifice of scholarship, such as the Great Fire of 1666, or the explosion of development in the mid-Victorian period, when much of what we now recognize as contemporary London was built, or the Blitz of 1940.
In the past decades, the edifice of the classical structural theory of organic compounds has been complemented with new approaches allowing a rational design of polyhedral clusters with hypercoordinate carbon centres.
On the other hand, given the structural fragility of the standing banking edifice, with remaining deleveraging pressures, one may not envisage an end to the euro area crisis if actions are not taken outside the monetary policy realm.
"In creating PCCs, the home secretary was seeking to construct a new and better policing edifice, but if there is a structural fault which is not addressed quickly, such as the ability to scrutinise their decisions, the building will collapse".
The failure mode for edifice host rock has attendant implications for the structural stability of the edifice and the efficiency of the sidewall outgassing of the volcanic conduit.
While the main strand of the Sumatran Fault currently cuts straight across the caldera edifice, the position of the caldera between two active fault strands suggests a strong structural control on its formation (Bellier et al. 1999).
The higher than average retention rate for genes differentially expressed during reciliation and exocytosis recovery is in addition consistent with the many genes in the clusters that encode structural components of axonemes or secretory granule contents that assemble together during biogenesis of these edifices.
