What is humanisum?

European intellectual movement that was a crucial component of the Renaissance, beginning in Florence in the later half of the 14th century. The humani Social or civic humanism rose out of the republican ideology of Florence at the beginning of the fifteenth century

What is the most common semi metal?

Semi-metals or metalloids. The elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and astatine have properties similar to both metals and non-metals. These elements are located along the semi-metal line of the periodic table.

What is the normal layout of a standard two story house?

Usually the bedrooms and a bathroom are upstairs and kitchen dining, lounge and laundry are down stairs.

If you want a specific layout I think that would vary a lot.

What is a scupper?

it's a big drain hole in a flat roof system.

What is neutral object?

What does domes mean?

In architecture a dome is a (roughly) hemispherical shell, often a roof or a section of a roof.

Where was the roman bridge built?

Hundreds of Roman bridges were built throughout the vast Roman Empire.

The name of a hard surface of irregular stones and mortar?

Inca is the name of a hard surface of irregular stone and mortar. The Inca stone is usually used to make various artistic objects on a hard surface of irregular stones and mortar.

What distinguishes triumphal arches from vaulted arches or rounded arches?

A triumphal arch consists of a free-standing arch used to commemorate events, particularly military victories, a series of vaulted arches could be used to create a long open space broken only by the columns, and a rounded arch solves the problem of masonry's tensile (resistance to lengthwise stress) weakness.

What is the comparison between common arch and inverted arch?

The "inverted arch" is used when a sideways, or inward load, is to be resisted.

The "common arch" supports a vertical load.

What paper structure will hold the most weight?

a bridge will hold the most weight...you take and make like a fan out of the paper

What is meant by marine corrosion?

Corrosion means the breakdown of essential properties in a material due to chemical reactions with its surroundings. Marine corrosion is of particular interest to designers of ships and shoreline facilities because most metals used in these structures are vulnerable to damage from water, and sea water in particular. As an example, metals such as the reinforcing steel used in concrete structures will react in the presence of sea water forming rust that will expand and destroy the overlying concrete, leading to a premature failure of the structure. Different metals corrode more or less agressively in the presence of sea water, and materials scientists track this vulnerability in the "galvanic series", which is a chart that lists each material according to the severity at which it corrodes within a given environment. Note that bonding two metals together in a corrosive environment causes an electrochemical reaction between the two, which causes accelerated corrosion of the metal further down on the galvanic chart. (The metal further down the chart is known as the anode as is preferentially corroded. The other metal is refered to as the cathode.) To slow or limit corrosion of a particular piece of valuable metal (like a ship's hull or your hot water tank), engineers can attach a "sacrificial anode", which will corrode while protecting the structure in question. Another method of reducing corrosion in metal facilities (such as pipelines) is to provide a low level of electrical current to the facility in a system know as "cathodic protection" which protects the facility by accellerating corrosion to anodes driven into the ground at regular intervals.

What are the names of the arches in the foot?

The medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch, and the transverse arch and the metatarsal arch are the four arches of the foot. The ML goes from heel to hallux (heel to big toe), the LL goes from the heel to the little toe, and the TA goes across the bottom of them and the metatarsal arch, formed by muscles and ligaments.
