unreferenced date June 2009 bot yes An abstract structure in mathematics is a formal object that is defined by a set of laws, properties, and relationships in a way that is logically if not always historically independent of the structure of contingent experiences, for example, those involving physical objects. Abstract structures are studied not only in logic and mathematics but in the fields that apply them, as computer science , and in the studies that reflect on them, as philosophy and especially the philosophy of mathematics . Indeed, modern mathematics has been defined in a very general sense as the study of abstract structures by the Nicolas Bourbaki Bourbaki group see discussion there, at algebraic structure and also structure category theory structure . An abstract structure may be represented perhaps with some degree of approximation by one or more physical objects this is called an implementation or instantiation of the abstract structure. But the abstract structure itself is defined in a way that is not dependent on the properties of any particular implementation. An abstract structure has a richer structure than a concept or an idea . An abstract structure must include precise rules of behaviour which can be used to determine whether a candidate implementation actually matches the abstract structure in question. Thus we may debate how well a particular government fits ... is or is not a valid game of chess. Examples A sorting algorithm is an abstract structure, but a recipe ... is an abstract structure, but an orchestration is not, because it depends on the properties of particular instruments.

In phrase structure grammar s, such as generalised phrase structure grammar , head driven phrase structure grammar and lexical functional grammar , a feature structure is essentially a set of attribute value pair s. For example the attribute named number might have the value singular . The value of an attribute may be either Lisp atom atomic , e.g. the symbol singular , or complex most commonly a feature structure, but also a list or a set . A feature structure can be represented as a directed acyclic graph DAG , with the nodes corresponding to the variable values and the paths to the variable names. Operations defined on feature structures, e.g. semantic unification unification , are used extensively in phrase structure grammars. In most theories e.g. HPSG , operations are strictly speaking defined over equations describing feature structures and not over feature structures themselves, though feature structures are usually used in informal exposition. Often, feature structures are written like this math begin bmatrix mbox category & noun phrase mbox agreement & begin bmatrix mbox number & singular mbox person & third end bmatrix end bmatrix math Here there are the two features category and agreement . Category has the value noun phrase whereas the value of agreement is indicated by another feature structure with the features number and person being singular and third . This particular notation is called attribute value matrix AVM . The matrix mathematics matrix has two columns, one for the feature names and the other for the values. In this sense a feature structure is a list of key value pairs. The value might be atomic or another feature structure. This leads to another notation for feature structures the use of Tree data structure tree s. In fact, some systems such as PATR II use S expression s to represent feature structures.

An architectural structure is a free standing, immobile outdoor Construction constructed element. The structure may be temporary or permanent. Structures include building s occupied habitable and nonbuilding structure s non occupied non habitable . Examples of building structures include house s, town hall s, library libraries , and skyscraper s. Examples of nonbuilding structures include bridge s, monument s and memorials , dam s, windmill s, and lookout tower s. Structure or building Often the words architectural structure and buildings are confused, because in many languages one word covers both. However, a building is a type of architectural structure used for supporting and sheltering continuous occupancy or habitation. Building structures buildings are therefore usually enclosed and or roofed structures. Nonbuilding structures structures may be open to the environment, part of landscape design elements, and or part of infrastructure systems transport, water, energy . Temporary structures Some structures are temporary, built for ephemeral events such as trade shows , Business conference conferences , or theatre , and often dismantled after use. Temporary structures have fewer constraints relating to future use and durability, and often comprise lightweight forms such as tent s or reusable such as boxcars, which are quicker to erect, take down, and use at another site or recycle.

Unreferenced date November 2006 Thematic structure is a term in linguistics . When people talk, there are purposes in three separable parts of utterances, the act of speech, the Proposition propositional content and the thematic structure. Because speaking is cooperative, in order that the speaking can be effective in the conversation , speakers have to pay attention to their listeners knowledge, state of mind and level of understanding. Speakers can assume that listeners know or do not know what speakers are talking about. According to Michael Halliday , the speakers judgements about the listeners current mental states are reflected in what is called the thematic structure used. Thematic structure has three main functions To convey given information and new information To subject and predicate To frame and insert DEFAULTSORT Thematic Structure Category Linguistics A thematic structure is a preoccupying conception of proposition which runs throughout a media text, usually around an initiating topic. It strategically ties together a number of more specific conception or statements on the basis of particular social forms of knowledge and social forms of perception and belief. A thematic structure helps to make a media text cohere it orients a text around a central theme of strand of related themes running through a story. reference David Deacon 2007 , Researching communications,p174 ... more details
