Story framing

The mockumentary is one particular comedic story frame the writer has other options to choose from, as well. Comedy runs the gamut from farce, which is principally visual, to more sophisticated forms, where character and dialogue are more important. If the idea is character oriented, what are the characteristics that lend themselves to comic opportunity If they are physical, the comedy is aimed at the character to put it another way, we laugh at the character. If the characteristics are more behavioral, we have a broader band of comic opportunity. We needn t laugh at the character, but we may laugh with the character. How does the source of humor blend with your attitude about the idea If we laugh at your character, in other words, does it undermine or support your idea ... 

A note on Character by choosing a murder story-frame, Van Diem catapults us into the story. The strategy energizes what would otherwise have followed a slower chronological structure. 

In this study, the performance of the Mesh Reinforced Mortar (MRM) application, which is one of the proposed methods for strengthening of RC structures in the Turkish Seismic Code (2007), was verified using pseudo-dynamic (PsD) tests. In this context, a three-bay, three-story frame in Vi scale was prepared and tested. The earthquake load was applied at each story level by means of servo-controlled actuators. The grotmd motions were synthetically derived from the Diizce city center site specific acceleration spectra. The hollow clay tile (HTC) masonry wall in the mid bay was enhanced with MRM. 

The seismic energy response of soft-first-story frames is discussed based on the results of the substructure pseudo-dynamic tests. The total input energy, Ej, and...

This section illustrates the calculatimi of structural reliability using the model of a simple two-story frame, as shown in Fig. 5. 

This two-story frame has six parameters, Wj, m2, ki, k2, D, D2, that represent the masses, stiflhess, and damping parameters of the two stories of the structural frame. Except the masses mi = 136 and m2 = 66 kg), all of the other quantities are uncertain. Eurther, the inputs to the system are forces (lateral excitations) at the two levels given by Aisin(fflit) and AasinCroit).

Here, past events help to explain current events via implicit principles of natural selection. Such ultimate explanations have been famously criticized as just-so stories, too easy to frame and too difficult to test (Gould and Lewontin, 1979). There is certainly something to this charge. Just because available data or even experience shows that eyespots are widespread does not guarantee that they are adaptive now. Even if they are adaptive now, this is by itself insufficient grounds to claim they were selected because they were the best available adaptation for camouflage, as opposed to some other function, or for that matter that they were not selected at all but... 

In the town of Ljungsbro 27, 1 1/2-story, wood frame dwellings without basements were built on monolithic slabs. Ventilation is provided by a duct system connected to an exhaust fan. In the sub-... 

The majority of dynamic analyses performed in blast resistant design of petrochemical facilities are made using SDOF approximations. Common types of construction, such as single story plane frames, cantilever barrier walls and compact box-like buildings are approximated as SDOF systems. Several examples of such structures are illustrated in Figure 6.2. 

The MDB is a two-story, steel-framed building with thick, reinforced-concrete floors and most interior walls made of concrete and foam-core sandwich panels. Explosion containment rooms have 2-foot-thick reinforced concrete floors, walls, and ceilings. Because concrete is a porous material capable of absorbing agent, all concrete surfaces in the JACADS process areas were sealed with an epoxy coating. A total of 134,153 square feet of concrete will require decontamination (U.S. Army, 1999d). 

I offered a piece of my own story in the Prologue to let you know my biases, and to illustrate the kind of ambivalence that often accompanies pill-taking. My experiences also frame the way I make sense of what my interviewees say. I agree with the sociologist Susan Krieger that when we discuss others, we are always talking about ourselves. At the same time, my interpretations are disciplined by... 

Barracks. Uniform two-story, boxlike frame structures covered by shingles or rectangles of corklike composition. Average dimensions were 200 feet long and 45 feet wide, with two floors and a loft, the walls each about 10 feet from floor to ceiling. Capacity flgured at 200,000 cubic feet. 

Life is a fantastic story, but what precedes it is every bit as incredible to the human mind. The innate properties of chemistry are laid down in the first three minutes of our universe, and a hole, torn into the fabric of space by the pristine explosion, gives us time and a gravitational frame and awareness to know how fragile and fleeting we exist under the temporary protectorate of a small and unusual planet. Everything derives from universal concepts, it would create a discontiguity were one to exempt the hypothesis of evolution. 

Evolution, is it smooth or sporadic and does it matter Sometimes our big problems boil down to silly questions. The evidence is right before us, could one not just recognize saltation without much ado The problem is more complicated because the evidence comes in the form of still pictures (fossils) that need to be assembled to make a story and, because frames are taken millions of years apart, there is latitude for different hypotheses to exist. The mode of evolution, i.e., smooth and imperceptible, versus stop and go, versus rapid appearance with minor adjustments, are questions that are deeply embedded in different hypotheses. The answer to these questions determines what hypothesis of evolution will be viable in the final analysis so, does nature make jumps in the macroscopic world ... 

What is diversity Within this workshop, we have been primarily defining diversity in terms of race and ethnicity. There is also diversity in gender as well as diversity in career paths. Diversity in the chemical workforce should not be framed solely within a discussion of academic achievement as the one and only possible route for a success story. Success stories are also to be found in industry. We should therefore think about the need for diversity in many different directions. We should think about it in a holistic kind of way, if you will pardon a new-age term. It is all related. So, do not try to solve just one diversity problem within a particular setting. Instead think about how solving that problem might fit in within the context of all the other problems.
