What is cribbing?

Its when a horse bites down on their stall door, or a wooden fence, and suck in air. They usually do it when they are bored. But the air fills their stomach and makes them feel like they're full, when they're really not, leading to them to not eating. This habit usually happens if the horse has too much stall rest and doesn't have a jolly ball or lick-it.

What is orthogonal drawing?

Why do you think the definition for polynomials is so restrictive?

The definition for polynomials is very restrictive. This is because it will give more information. It excludes radicals, negative exponents, and fractional exponents. When these are included, the expression becomes rational and not polynomial.

What is the minimum stock journal size for a Chevy 350?

the question is presented wrong i believe you want too know how much you can turn the crank shaft journals safely! the answer to that question is i personally would rather turn them only .10 thousandths but they can be turned too .30thousanths safely Answer The material can be removed in .010" increments with the most being a recommended .030" total removed.

What forces affect skyscrapers?

Skyscrapers must be designed to withstand all the same forces in a shorter building: vertical loads (ex: gravity, snow, the weight of the building itself) and lateral loads (wind, earthquakes).

However, because of the slender proportions, some of these forces become more critical in skyscrapers. for example, wind blowing on a high rise that is asymmetrical in cross section might cause the building to "twist". This torsion can cause dramatic problems with the cladding and windows on the building.

Similarly, high winds at the top of the building create a suction force on the side of the skyscraper not facing the wind. This suction force can become so great that windows will actually pop out if not designed correctly!

Tall buildings must also have special ways to deal with earth quakes. As the ground beneath the skyscraper slides back and forth, the top of the building will tend to sway in reverse direction - almost like a whip. Structural engineers must control this by enormously complex calculations and designs.

Even when a high rise is designed to safely resist all loads, they still must provide an atmosphere pleasant to the occupant. For example, a very slight sway in the top floors of a building (due to normal wind) might make people motion sick, and/or too scared to focus on work!

Skyscrapers are obviously much heavier buildings that shorter buildings with the same "footprint". Thus, the foundations under the building must be more advanced and more capable of withstanding such intense force.

Other forces that must be dealt with include air pressure differentials between inside and outside, and top to bottom.

A final example includes the design of plumbing systems to provide sufficient water pressures to floors that are very high up.

Arch in gymnastics?

An arch in gymnastics is where you bend your back slightly so that you are shaped like "(" that.

Why twins weight and skin colour are not identical?

Weight and skin color are things that can be modified by diet, exercise and sun exposure. Although genetics can give someone a predisposition toward certain habits, what you eat and how much you eat, exercise and stay in the sun are ultimately controlled by you, not genetics.

What is a dome?

A dome is a generally spherical, ovoid, or hemispherical shape, found in nature and also used in architecture. The basic characteristic is a three-dimensionally curved exterior, which may have a hollow interior.

Examples of domes include various covered sports stadiums, the rotunda of the US Capitol building, St. Peter's Basilica, and the geodesic dome at Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida. Natural domes are created underground by the dissolving of salt and other compounds, and in rock formations such as Half Dome in Yosemite National Forest.

Is it normally allowed by code to use OSB to finish attached garage walls that do not share with the house What if there is living space above the garage?

this varies from state to state, but in my opinion any wall or ceiling abutting a living space should have a fire barrier. Maybe there is sheet rock behind the OSB

If monumental scale is larger than human scale which is the architectural scale that is smaller than human scale?

definitely scale is mportant to disscuss about monumentality and humanism... but it is impposible to talk about two things by only one stuff.
