Algorithm to delete?

The only way to delete objects in an object oriented programming language (unless they were created in heap memory) is for the object to go out of scope. If the object is declared in the heap, in c++ you would use delete[] ptr; or delete ptr; where ptr is a pointer to your object.

What is a geological engineer?

A geodetic engineer is a person who gathers physical data upon the surface of the earth using precision instruments and also process the information in a scientific and methodical manner in the forms of plans, graphs, sheets etc

Is pig iron brittle?

Answer

Iron in the form of castings or forgings can be brittle. Iron forms a metallic crystal structure when changing phase from liquid to solid, and the crystal structure can be subject to brittle failure. If the load or force on something that is cast iron is great enough and applied in the right (wrong) way, it will fail due to this brittle fracture. Generally speaking, things made of iron are engineered and manufactured to provide sufficient strength to resist brittle fracture, but there are a number of things that can cause iron to become more brittle. Temperature is one. If it gets cold enough, an iron part could fail when stress is applied to it in a situation where it would not fail at "room temperature" or above. Iron, or any metal has a certain amount of inherent brittleness (because the metal forms crystal structures when solidifying). And iron can be made more brittle by (decreased) temperature, fatigue, hydrogen, and the list goes on. The volume of literature on the subject is nothing short of staggering. The failure of metal structures, a subset of the science of Metallurgy, is a hugely broad discipline, and it continues to hold up questions that have not been answered.

How can screw driver improve our lives?

A screw driver is really useful! It can really improve our lives a lot. Example When your home's screws have loosened, you can use a screw driver to tighten it for safety. You can put something on the wall with screws and you can tighten it up with a screw driver. This is why people call it Mr. Fixit. Really useful and important in our lives!

Can weak entity be converted into strong entity?

The primary key of a weak entity set is formed by taking the primary key of the strong entity set on which its existence depends (see Mapping Constraints) plus its discriminator.

A strong entity set has a primary key. All tuples in the set are distinguishable by that key. A weak entity set has no primary key unless attributes of the strong entity set on which it depends are included. Tuples (a particular row) in a weak entity set are partitioned according to their relationship with tuples in a strong entity set. Tuples within each partition are distinguishable by a discriminator, which is a set of attributes.

What are the examples of high-technology farming?

Intensive farming involves producing lots within a small area. Feedlot, chicken farming, dairy farming, and pig farming qualify as "intensive farming," but also much of the crop production, like that used to raise corn, wheat, canola and even rice, is intensive in itself because a lot is produced or raised in a small area, just like with the aforementioned confined animal feeding operations.
Feedlots, conventional chicken, dairy and hog farms, etc.

What is chemical etching in PCB manufacturing process?

The board is printed with the negative (in the sense of a photographic image) of the design that is desired on the finished board, in a material that is impervious to the solvent that will subsequently be applied to the board. When that solvent is applied the parts of the board that have not received the printed image are etched away leaving the desired circuitry.

How much is 1000 ton?

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A litre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A ton is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a litre of air and a litre of water. They will have very different masses.

Why do things break when they fall down?

When an object drops on the floor, the kinetic energy that collects as it falls is converted into oscillatory (vibratory) energy which disturbs the particles in the solid, breaking the bonds holding the particles together. The way in which something breaks depends on the point of impact and the height of the drop.

What is mill scale?

Mill scale is formed on the outer surfaces of plates, sheets or profiles when they are being produced by rolling red hot iron or steel billets in rolling or steel mills. Mill scale is composed of iron oxides mostly ferric and is bluish black in color. It is usually less than a millimetre thick and initially adheres to the steel surface and protects it from atmospheric corrosion provided no break occurs in this coating. Because it is electro-chemically cathodic to steel, any break in the mill scale coating will cause accelerated corrosion of steel exposed at the break. Mill scale is thus a boon for a while until its coating breaks due to handling of the steel product or due to any other mechanical cause. It is a nuisance when the steel is to be processed. Any paint applied over it is wasted since it will come off with the scale as moisture laden air get under it. Thus mill scale has to be removed from steel surfaces by flame heating, acid pickling or grit/sand blasting. All tedious operations wasteful of energy. This is why shipbuilders used to leave steel delivered freshly rolled from mills out in the open to allow it to 'weather' till most of the scale fell off due to atmospheric action. Now a days most steels mills can supply their produce with mill scale removed and steel coated with shop primers over which welding can be done safely.

How do you convert ton of asphalt to square meter?

depends on the density. Asphalt density is typically between 2000 to 2400 kg/m³

1 tonne = 1000kg

per cm of thickness and 1m² of area:

Tonnes=2200*1*.01/1000

Tonnes=0.022

Therefore if you had a tonne of asphalt of density 2200kg/m³ and spread it to a thickness of 1cm, you would cover 45.45±m² (1/0.022)

What is criteria for selection of site of dam?

The site should have enough capacity to hold water for desired number of years. It should also have some source of water inlet.

What are the importants of Landlaw to Agricultural Engineering?

Agricultural engineering is the engineering discipline that applies engineering science and technology to agricultural production and processing. Agricultural engineering combines the disciplines of animal biology, plant biology, and mechanical, civil, electrical and chemical engineering principles with a knowledge of agricultural.

What are the responsibilities of a site engineer?

Review and approve Shop Drawings of equipment to be installed to assure the equipment meets or exceeds the specifications (often done with the Project Engineer).

Meet with the General Contractor to keep the project on time and on budget.

Review and approve (or reject) Change Orders (often done with the Project Engineer * There are two types of site civil engineer , first job is a supervisory one if he works with the consultant, in this case he needs to make sure that the document in hand is the correct designed and issued for construction , then he will supervise the construction contractor to make sure that work is being carried out as designed and in accordance to standards.

The second type , is the execution part where he works with the construction contractor, in this case he has more responsibilities, where he has to adhere to the design document, quality of work, the schedule, safety of the people, costs and more over to satisfy the consultant at a personal level

How do Metal detectors discriminate metals?

Metal detectors work by emitting electromagnetic signals outward. When those electromagnetic signals bounce back to the receiver, the machine knows that there is an object in that location and alerts the user.

Who is Lee DeForest?

While his name sounds like something to do with forests, Le DeForest (1873-1961) was actually an inventor and an engineer. He lived in the early days of radio, and invented something called an "audion tube"-- which takes weak signals and makes them stronger. He was one of the people who made major contributions to the history of broadcasting. I enclose a link to a biography about him.

What effects weathering?

many things effect weathering. like water,wind, and ice. gravity can also effect weathering but I'm not sure exactly how.

so yeah if you can answer how gravity effects weathering, please do because i need it for a homework assignment!!!!

What is the opposite of solenoid?

Cool question! The opposite could be ElectroRepulsive, meaning the polarity of the electromagnet is shifted 90 deg (? i think) from the configuration of the original electromagnet, but this is similar, not opposite.

I would think that insulation is the opposite. A non-'electro' magnet (like the natural magnet) could be the opposite......Let's Feature it!

Another option is Electromagnetic Induction: while an electromagnet generates magnetic field using an electric current, putting a conductor in a moving magnetic field

generates an electric current.
