  2. Social mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_mobility

    Social mobility is the movement of individuals, families, ... In the structural equation models, social status in the 1970s was the main outcome variable.

  3. Economic mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_mobility

    Economic mobility is the ability of an individual, family or some other group to improve (or lower) their economic status—usually measured in income. Economic mobility is often measured by movement between income quintiles. Economic mobility may be considered a type of social mobility, which is often measured in change in income.

  4. Overconstrained mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconstrained_mechanism

    In mechanical engineering, an overconstrained mechanism is a linkage that has more degrees of freedom than is predicted by the mobility formula. The mobility formula evaluates the degree of freedom of a system of rigid bodies that results when constraints are imposed in the form of joints between the links.

  5. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)

    The mobility formula counts the number of parameters that define the configuration of a set of rigid bodies that are constrained by joints connecting these bodies. [3] [4] Consider a system of n rigid bodies moving in space has 6n degrees of freedom measured relative to a fixed frame. In order to count the degrees of freedom of this system ...

  6. Socioeconomic mobility in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socioeconomic_mobility_in...

    Illustration from a 1916 advertisement for a vocational school in the back of a US magazine. Education has been seen as a key to socioeconomic mobility, and the advertisement appealed to Americans' belief in the possibility of self-betterment as well as threatening the consequences of downward mobility in the great income inequality existing during the Industrial Revolution.

  7. Mechanical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_impedance

    Examples of potentials are: force, sound pressure, voltage, temperature. Examples of flows are: velocity, volume velocity, current, heat flow. Impedance is the reciprocal of mobility. If the potential and flow quantities are measured at the same point then impedance is referred as driving point impedance; otherwise, transfer impedance.

  8. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    The hole mobility is defined by a similar equation: =. Both electron and hole mobilities are positive by definition. Usually, the electron drift velocity in a material is directly proportional to the electric field, which means that the electron mobility is a constant (independent of the electric field).

  9. Structural inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_inequality

    Structural inequality occurs when the fabric of organizations, institutions, governments or social networks contains an embedded cultural, linguistic, economic, religious/belief, physical or identity based bias which provides advantages for some members and marginalizes or produces disadvantages for other members.
