In this specific implementation referred to as cross-language structural correspondence learning (CLSCL), the pivot functions are defined by pairs of words, one from the target and one from the source, that represent direct word translations from one language to the other.
In both cases, they are structural steel assemblies incorporating steel guideway beams that pivot to provide guidance and support, routing the train from one lane to another.
An issue with using structural correspondence learning is the difficulty in generalizing the pivot functions.
Structural correspondence learning depends on the manual definition of pivot functions that capture correspondence between the source and target domains.
The proposed mechanism is designed to avoid a coupling problem in two-degree of freedom translational movement at the edges caused by the structural constraints using a motor whose body is rotating about a pivot according to the joystick motion.
When pivoted joints were used, Coulomb damping in these joints dominated the structural damping behaviour.
A coalition of more than 60 organizations affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement has released a comprehensive policy platform that signals a pivot away from focusing on racist policing, to a broader effort to highlight and address the structural inequalities that permeate black life in America.
Both leaders hope it will serve their own purposes: it is how President Obama can make his so-called "Asia Pivot" more concrete than just an aspiration, and how Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe can put some substance to the structural reforms within his ambitious plan dubbed "Abenomics".
The Pivot-Elastic model can be easily assembled using a combination of elements readily available in commercially available structural analysis software, which would facilitate its implementation in engineering practice.
