What does a TIBCO Application Architect do?
A TIBCO Application Architect will analyze the business and functional requirements for the integration of an enterprise's applications and processes , and will design and plan a solution using TIBCO products. The product of the Architect's efforts will be a documented design, using graphics and text, and a component plan to implement the design. As an example; the TIBCO App Architect can analyze a financial services company's requirements for enterprise integration and design a solution based on the Rendezvous messaging bus and other TIBCO products to capture Front-End Trading Desk data from disparate trading application systems, and then move and transform the data for delivery to Middle-Office, Back-Office systems or Data Warehouses.

Can an upstairs floor hold the 150kg weight of a Punch Man?
A well built floor in good condition should cope with a 150kg point load. This is no more than some pieces of furniture or even some people weigh. Also, a "Punch man" is "dead load, which means the weight is not moving (that is called a live load). A live load puts more load onto the building, because it has forces of acceleration beyond that of gravity.
What is the purpose of system architecture?
The purpose of a system architecture is to create a formal system description and representation of the system, that is organized in a way that supports the reasoning and logic about the system.
What is Montessori architectural design?
Maria Montessori was specific in describing the optimal learning environment for a child's growth and development.
Many attribute her for the invention of child sized furniture.
In Dr. Montessori's Handbook, she said that classrooms in early childhood should look like a "little home" that students could manage on their own. Materials should be scaled for the children, so they can receive instruction (and then take initiative) in their use. This would include everything a child would need to learn to become independent (to make their own food, tie their own shoes, clean up after themselves, etc.).
Furniture should be lightweight wood, so the children can move it as they need. Students can work at their tables, or choose to roll out rugs and use floor space.
Shelves containing educational supplies and lessons can help to designate areas (kitchen, living room, study, etc.) Natural and bright lighting should provide ambiance. There should not be distracting clutter (posters, garish rugs, etc.) that competes for the child's attention or overwhelms their senses, but should have tasteful decorations, plants, and art.
Each classroom should also have an outdoor area or garden space, so that children may move in and out of the classroom. Children should be able to learn in the open air, as space (and their self discipline) allows.
In Montessori classrooms, the curriculum (educational supplies) are available to the students (rather than access to all knowledge depending on its disbursement by a teacher, or the learning pace of everyone else in the class). Lessons are laid out in order by small increments in difficulty. You can "read" the shelves like a book, with the most basic lesson in the top left corner. The materials have weight, height, texture, etc. Pieces "fit" together so students "discover" the intellectual concepts that are inherent in the activity (as they perform the experiments or experience the outcomes of their activities). The materials are measurable concrete "proofs" for equations and other academic principles. In this way, we can present geometry, mathematics, geography, geology, botany, zoology, culture, language, art, music, practical life skills, etc. There are NO GAPS in the curriculum (making it quite different from "the open classroom" experiments) and remediation is easily addressed as teachers have the freedom to revisit lesson presentations on an individual basis. Students are also free to practice as much, or as little, as they need in order to master a concept.
Children learn through their senses and experiences. Cortical areas in the brain develop in acuity in direct response to the child's surroundings and activities. We are born primed to adapt to our environment, so the cognitive "platform" that will be used for all future learning is created during critical periods in early childhood.
Classrooms for upper grades continue the commitment to providing a precise developmental match for the student's needs.
As a surgeon and medical doctor, Maria Montessori realized through scientific observation, the interplay between nurture and nature for optimal cognitive and physical growth...and created an educational system and learning environment that supports healthy development.

There is no line specified. The ideal line, in geometry, is of infinite length.
How many feet of copper pipe are in a house?
That would depend on lots of factors. When I bought my current home, there was no copper pipe in it, it was all galvanized. Many modern homes have PVC piping in many places. And how many bathrooms are there? How many kitchens? Sinks? Washing machine? Dishwasher? Swimming pool?
The weight of the buliding depends upon the kind of materials and also the shape and area of the building. It is imprecise.
Why did the Twin Towers collapse so easily?
I saw this on Nova, you see the support beams in the towers were coats with a pretty flimsy fire retardant, when the planes hit the force of the impact blew off the fire retardant and a fire was started. Because the fire retardant was gone the heat from the flames eventually made the support beams buckle and collapse.
What are computer used for in architecture?
Modern practice of architecture requires much use of the computer in applications such as design, blueprints, creating computerized models, creating 3D models, cost calculations, structural integrity testing, layout testing, and construction management. Of all these, design, blueprints, and creating models are the ones most benefited by the aid of computers because these are jobs much harder when done by hand.
