Architecture diagram shows the relationship between different commponents of system. This diagram is very important to understand the over all concept of system.
How was the central plan significant to Renaissance architects?
The central plan was significant to Renaissance architects because they considered the circle the most perfect form and they preferred symmetry in all things.
Is a bank vault hermetically sealed and why or why not?
no it is not.
Well, some are ... but it's dangerous, expensive, and silly.
A bank vault is designed to keep money in and people out, making it hermetically sealed is overkill, especially if you get locked in.
Flamed is a type of finish or treatment. Compared to honed, flamed tends to have more texture and the finish is not shiny. It has a more matte finish and is common in industrial design.
What kinds of rooms were built in an ancient Egyptian home?
Well in the Middle class Egyptian home there was many rooms that we have today such as:living roombathroom kitchen and Bedrooms
Why is there sameness in architecture?
The mass production and ease of constructing prefabricated buildings gave easy solutions for constructing buildings without giving much thought about the concept and the design. contemporary architects are trying to bring back the uniqueness and individuality of buildings.

Compare the three level of ansi-sparc?
Conceptual database design is the process of constructing a model based on the enterprise. Logical database design is the process of constructing a specific data model. Physical database design is the process of producing of the database on the secondary storage.
What is the advantages of strip foundation?
There are several advantages to strip foundation. They include being a proven method that the majority of builders know how to use it is easy for keeping the bricklayer occupied, it is fairly cheap, mistakes are too pricy to rectify after concrete has been poured, and services usually do not need immediate attention since they usually cross over the concrete.
What is RDBMS explain its architecture.?
RDBMS : Architecture of a Database Management System
The architecture of a database management system can be broadly divided into three levels :
a. External level
b. Conceptual level
c. Internal level
The External Level
This is the highest level, one that is closest to the user. It is also called the user view. The user view is different from the way data is stored in the database. This view describes only a part of the actual database. Because each user is not concerned with the entire database, only the part that is relevant to the user is visible. For example, end users and application programmers get different external views.
For example, an instructor will view the database as a collection of students and courses offered by the university. An administrator will view the database as a collection of records on the stock of course material provided by the university. The instructor is concerned with only a portion of database that is relevant to the instructor and the administrator is concerned with only the portion of database that is relevant to the administrator. These portions of database, which are viewed, by the instructor and administrator are reffered as their user's view or external view.
Each user uses a language to carry out database operations. The application programmer uses either a conventional third-generation language, such as COBOL or C, or a fourth-generation language specific to the DBMS, such as visual FoxPro or MS Access.
The end user uses a query language to access data from the database. A query language is a combination of three subordinate language :
§ Data Definition Language (DDL)
§ Data Manipulation Language (DML)
§ Data Control Language (DCL)
The data definition language defines and declares the database object, while the data manipulation language performs operations on these objects. The data control language is used to control the user's access to database objects.
The Conceptual Level
This level comes between the external and the internal levels. The conceptual level represents the entire database as a whole, and is used by the DBA. This level is the view of the data "as it really is". The user's view of the data is constrained by the language that they are using. At the conceptual level, the data is viewed without any of these constraints.
The Internal Level
This level deals with the physical storage of data, and is the lowest level of the architecture. The internal level describes the physical sequence of the stored records.
Following is an example of the three levels :
External
Cout << "Emp#" << Employee_Code;
Cout << "Dept#" << DepartmentEmployee_Code;
Cout << "Salary#" << Salary;
Conceptual
Employee
Employee_Code Character 6
Department_Code Character 4
Salary Numeric 5
Internal
Stored Employee Length=18
Prefix Type=Byte(6), offset=0
Emp# type=byte(6), offset=6, index empx
Dept# type=byte(6), offset=12,
Salary type=byte(6), offset=6
Mappings
Mapping determines the correspondence between one level an another. There are two levels of mapping involved in this architecture. One is between the external and the conceptual levels, while the other is between the conceptual and the internal levels. The external-conceptual mapping determines the correspondence between the conceptual anad the user views. This specifies how a user views the conceptual data. The conceptual-internal mapping determines the correspondence between the conceptual and internal views. It specifies how the conceptual data is stored.
The first step in designing a databse is to define the conceptual level. The conceptual level is then mapped to the external level. Each user view and the requirement is taken into consideration. Next, the conceptual-internal mapping is done. The way data is stored is derived from the conceptual level. Ths three-level architecture of a DBMS helps achieve data independence.

The term "key plan" is used in civil engineering projects to describe a feature depicted on the construction plans of large and often complex projects. The overall project is first shown in one or more overall views drawn in large scale showing the region or vicinity in which the project is built. These overall regional plans are then followed by multiple detailed views of the project depicted in larger scales and finer detail. Ofterntimes, however, when you are reviewing the finer points on a detailed drawing, it is easy to loose track of where you are in the overall project. Thus, the designer often includes a small "key plan" located in the corner of the sheet you are viewing that shows the location of that detail sheet to the much larger project. As an example, say we are designing an oil refinery. On the overall title sheet, we often show a vicinity map that shows the refinery in relation to major highways and access roads so you can at least figure out how to get there. The next plan will often be an overll plan view of the refinery at a scale of something like 1" =200'. It would show the property lines of the refinery, access points via road and railway, where the incoming pipelines are, and any zoing setbacks that show the relationship of the plant to neighboring properties. A general, non-detailed outline of the refinery and storage tanks might also be shown....but not in a lot of detail. On the following pages, we would typically draw detailed site maps of the refinery at a much larger scale, such as 1"=50'. It might take 10 or 15 of these sheets showing all the features of the refinery with much more detail and more complete labelling of the features. On the lower right corner of each drawing near the titleblock we would include a small "key plan" that would show a sketch of the overall refinery, and where in the refinery the page we are looking at occurs. For many projects, we would want to show detailed piping and electrical concuit drawings at an even larger scale, such as 3/8"=1'. In every case, we would want to show coordinates on the drawing so each feature can be located within the plant site, and in the corner of each plan view, we would include a "key plan" so the reader can locate the sheet in relationship to the overall refinery. Key plans are not limited to refineries or oil & gas work. Basically, for any civil engineering project that is large and complex, it is a way to protray the overall project on multiple plan drawings at multiple scales, and yet provide the reader with a quick way to orient him or herself within the overal project.
What were rich Tudor houses like?
Furniture In rich Tudor houses they would have lots of furniture. they would use mainly oak which was heavy and massive. beds were feather. they had chairs but they were very expensive so not all of the children could sit on them neither could the servants.
Windows
Rich people had windows in their houses but these were extremely expensive so no poor people had proper glass windows. Tudor windows were made of small pieces of glass and were held together by lead.
Chimneys
Rich Tudor houses had large chimneys
Inside
in wealthy Tudor houses the walls were lined with oak to stop a draft coming in. People slept in four poster beds. people had wallpaper on their walls but only very few. other people hung tapestries or painted cloths on their wall. people also had carpets but because they were so expensive they hung them on the walls instead of on the floor. people covered the floor with rushes, reeds or straw. once a month the floor covering was changed. they also lit their rooms with beeswax candles.
Outside
The rich lived in country mansions which were often in H or E shapes. Tudor people were very fond of their gardens. many people had mazes, fountains and hedges cut into shapes. Windows became the main features to a Tudor house. Rich houses were made of brick or stone and tiles. The upper storeys of a Tudor house were often larger than the bottom floor and had a jetty.
