Structure is a fundamental and sometimes intangible notion covering the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and relationships of entities. Recognition (re+ Cognition) is a process that occurs in Thinking when some event, Process, Pattern, or object recurrs Observation is either an activity of a living being (such as a Human) which senses and assimilates the Knowledge of a Phenomenon, or the recording of data Nature is a word used in two major ways in philosophical discussion which are inter-connected in a complex way Stability can refer to Aircraft flight Stability (aircraft In atmospheric fluid dynamics atmospheric stability, a measure of the turbulence A pattern, from the French patron, is a theme of recurring events or objects sometimes referred to as elements of a set An entity is something that has a distinct separate Existence, though it need not be a material existence From a child's verbal description of a snowflake, to the detailed scientific analysis of the properties of magnetic fields, the concept of structure is an essential foundation of nearly every mode of inquiry and discovery in science, philosophy, and art. "Snowfall" redirects here For other uses see Snow (disambiguation or Snowfall (disambiguation. Scientific method refers to bodies of Techniques for investigating phenomena In Physics, a magnetic field is a Vector field that permeates space and which can exert a magnetic force on moving Electric charges Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning " Knowledge " or "knowing" is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding Philosophy is the study of general problems concerning matters such as existence knowledge truth beauty justice validity mind and language Art refers to a diverse range of Human activities creations and expressions that are appealing to the Senses or Emotions of a human individual ^[1]

Types of structure

Biological structure

Main articles: Morphometry and Systems biology

In biology, structures exist at all levels of organisation, ranging hierarchically from the atomic and molecular to the cellular, tissue, organ, organismic, population and ecosystem level. Morphometrics is a field concerned with studying variation and change in the form (size and shape of organisms Commonly the measurements taken are of little significance in terms of Systems biology is a biology-based inter-disciplinary study field that focuses on the systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems, thus using a new perspective Foundations of modern biology There are five unifying principles History See also Atomic theory, Atomism The concept that matter is composed of discrete units and cannot be divided into arbitrarily tiny In Chemistry, a molecule is defined as a sufficiently stable electrically neutral group of at least two Atoms in a definite arrangement held together by Tissue is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organism In Biology, an organ ( Latin: organum, "instrument tool" from Greek όργανον - organon "organ instrument In Biology a population is the collection of inter-breeding organisms of a particular Species; in Sociology An ecosystem is a natural unit consisting of all plants animals and micro-organisms( Biotic factors in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical ( Usually, a higher-level structure is composed of multiple copies of a lower-level structure.

Chemical structure

Main article: Chemical structure

Chemistry is the science treating matter at the atomic to macromolecular scale, the reactions, transformations and aggregations of matter, as well as accompanying energy and entropy changes during these processes. Chemical structure refers to Molecular geometry, Electronic structure and Crystal structure. The chemical structure refers to both molecular geometry and to electronic structure. Chemical structure refers to Molecular geometry, Electronic structure and Crystal structure. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphical representation of the molecular structure showing how the atoms are arranged. The structural formula of a Chemical compound is a graphical representation of the molecular structure showing how the atoms are arranged A protein structure is the three dimensional coordinates of the atoms within (macro) molecules made of protein. Proteins are an important class of biological Macromolecules present in all biological organisms made up of such elements as Carbon, Hydrogen

Built structure

A structure usually refers to any large, man-made object permanently fixed to Earth's surface, as a result of construction. In the fields of Architecture and Civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the Building or assembling of Infrastructure These are divided into buildings and nonbuilding structures, and make up the infrastructure of a human society. In Architecture, Construction, Engineering and real estate development the word building may refer to one of the following Any man-made Nonbuilding structures, also referred to simply as structures, are those not designed for continuous human Occupancy. Infrastructure typically refers to the technical structures that support a society such as Roads Water supply, Wastewater, Power grids There are also animal-built structures, such as anthills and beaver dams. An ant colony is an underground Lair where Ants live Colonies consist of a series of underground chambers connected to each other and the surface of the earth by Beavers are two primarily nocturnal semi-aquatic species of Rodent, one native to North America and one to Europe

Musical composition

Music is an art form consisting of sound and silence expressed through time. The term musical form, a type of structure, refers to two related concepts:

• the type of composition (for example, a musical work can have the form of a symphony, a concerto, or other generic type)
• the structure of a particular piece (for example, a piece can be written in binary form, sonata form, as a fugue, etc. The term musical form refers to two related concepts the type of composition (for example a musical work can have the form of a Symphony, a )

Social structure

Main article: Social structure

A social structure is a pattern of relations. Social structure is a term frequently used in Sociology and Social theory — yet rarely defined or clearly conceptualised (Abercrombie et al They are social organization of individuals and various life. An organization (or organisation &mdash see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals which controls its own performance and Structures are applicable to people in how a society is as a system organized by a characteristic pattern of relationships. This is known as the social organization of the group. Sociologists have studied the changing structure of theses groups. Structure and agency is the two confronted theories about human behaviour. The debate surrounding the influence of structure and agency on human thought and behaviour is one of the central issues in Sociology and other Social sciences In The debate surrounding the influence of structure and agency on human thought and behaviour is one of the central issues in sociology. In this context "agency" refers to the capacity of individual humans to act independently and to make their own free choices. "Structure" here to those factors such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, customs etc. which seem to limit or influence the opportunities that individuals have.

Data structure

Main article: Data structure

In computer science, a data structure is a way of storing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently. A data structure in Computer science is a way of storing Data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently Computer science (or computing science) is the study and the Science of the theoretical foundations of Information and Computation and their Debt AIDS Trade in Africa (or DATA) is a Multinational non-government organization founded in January 2002 in London by U2 's Often a carefully chosen data structure will allow the most efficient algorithm to be used. In Computer science, efficiency is used to describe properties of an Algorithm relating to how much of various types of resources it consumes In Mathematics, Computing, Linguistics and related subjects an algorithm is a sequence of finite instructions often used for Calculation The choice of the data structure often begins from the choice of an abstract data type. In Computing, an abstract data type ( ADT) is a specification of a set of data and the set of operations that can be performed on the data A data type in Programming languages is an attribute of a datum which tells the computer (and the programmer something about the kind of datum it is A well-designed data structure allows a variety of critical operations to be performed, using as few resources, both execution time and memory space, as possible. Data structures are implemented by a programming language as data types and the references and operations they provide. A programming language is an Artificial language that can be used to write programs which control the behavior of a machine particularly a Computer. A data type in Programming languages is an attribute of a datum which tells the computer (and the programmer something about the kind of datum it is In Computer science, a reference is an object containing information which refers to data stored elsewhere as opposed to containing the data itself
