Both MBBS and Engineering are difficult degrees and occupations in their own rights.

What do people use polonium for?

Polonium is very toxic and radioactive; polonium can be lethal. You can get it in your body by consuming it. It flows through the bloodstream and then moves on to the bone narrows. It breaks down your immune system and shuts down your organs. This proves you to be vulnerable to be bacteria which lets you live for about 24 hours after.

BRC definition in construction?

BRC stands for: Business response card. Reference: Random House Webster's College Dictionary.

Disadvantage of optical fiber communication?

Only economical when the bandwidth is fully utilised

High cost of installation

A lot of hardware at the moment is not compatible with fibre optic cables, they need to be adapted in order to make use of them

4 reasons why we use reverse engineering?

Engineers reverse because jude despage put the car control to R and backed up

Amplitude modulation applications?

In olden days all radio stations followed only amplitude modulation to propagate the signals.

Presently still some of the radio stations follow the same and mostly have switched over to frequency modulation.

Especailly in tv transmission the picture signal is propagated only by amplitude modulation.

How thick is 28 gauge?

If you are referring to wire thickness according to American Wire Gauge, 12.6 mil or 321 microns.

Need of changing current direction in 3 phase motor?

Your question is confusing. Are you asking how to reverse the direction of a three-phase motor? If so, then the answer is that you simply interchange any two of the line conductors. This will cause the naturally-rotating magnetic field in the motor's air gap to reverse direction, causing the rotor to reverse direction.

How do engineers use scale models?

It is a reproduction of a technical drawing documenting an architecture or engineering design, printed in light sensitive sheets, and characterized by light coloured lines on a blue background

What is a spindle motor?

Spindle Motors are V3 class low vibration 3 phase induction AC motor. Spindle motor has extra low vibration performance. They are specifically designed for grinding machines and low vibration applications

How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?

Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)

What companies have closed from recession?

Circuit City, Steve & Barry's, Mervin's, Mother's Cookies...

What is the mostincredible engineering feat?

Eugene Ely was a pilot who piloted a Curtiss biplane on the first flight to take off from a ship. Also asphalt was being manufactured from oil refining byproducts.

Difference between analog and digital control systems?

An analog control system is one that presents data by measuring a continuous variable. This reports the data back in voltage or pressure.

Give an example of why heredity can be a disadvantage to the young?

If the older generation has a disease or sth harmful, it can be passed down to the newer generations, hence causing the young to have that particular disease or abnormality.

544 million kilowatts equals how many megawatts?

1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts

1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts

So 544 million kilowatts is 524,000,000,000 watts. In megawatts this is 524,000 MW. Or 524 gigawatts (GW)

What is top-down structure?

Designing or analyzing something starting from its directly observable components (top level) progressively downward in increasing detail to the smallest/hidden components (bottom level) that actually make the structure function. Sometimes called a system decomposition.

The opposite is bottom-up structure.

Which metal or ore is heavier silver gold titanium or iron?

I list them in order of heaviest to lightest:Gold, Silver, Iron, Titanium. Gold has no ore and ores are always less dense than the metal.

What is ductile to brittle transition temperature of steel?

It varies. Firstly, it's only present in ferrittic steels like carbon steel, not in most kinds of stainless. Secondly, it depends on the grain size of the steel microstructure, with smaller grains giving a lower transition temperature. The third factor is alloying elements. Silicone and Nickel content tends to raise transition temperature.

With modern steels the transition temperature is about -60 degrees celcius. Older steels may have a transition temperature at room temperature, or, more often, at 0 or -10 degrees.

Which engineering course is the broadest engineering course?

I think civil is a

broader field. There are so many

areas one could eventually wind

up speciallizing; surveying/GIS,

structural, marine, geotechnical,

water treatment/distribution,

highway & route design,

construction management,

graphical applications/DTM,

typical civil site design,

hydraulics/water resources,

industrial waste, solid waste.

Anything that is put on the

ground usually has some civil

engineering.

Is hydraulic fluid flammable?

The most commonly used hydraulic fluids are oils, so yes they are flammable. However, most any fluid COULD be used as a hydraulic fluid depending on the system design requirements. So it really depends on exactly what type of fluid is being used whether it is flammable or not.

Water is a "hydraulic fluid" and is not flammable.

Under NFPA standards, petroleum-based hydraulic fluids are not "flammable" if their flash point is above 100o F (37.8o C); they would be "combustible". NFPA 1 (2009): 3.3.153.2 Definition of Flammable Liquid
