What is the chemical name of black lacquer?
Black lacquer is obtained from the varnish tree that yields a toxic exudation. The chemical name of black lacquer is pyroxylin.
In a normal race car sort of setup, you want to have the shocks compress at a lower coefficient than rebound, This is because you want the shocks to be able to rebound back into their natural position as fast as possible and be able to hit the next bump that it will see. In eng terms you want to minimize the time that you see a transient response from the shocks. Typically you'll see the rebound is 2 to 3 times the compression coefficient.
What is an architectual engineer?
People need places in which to live, work, play, learn, worship, meet, govern, shop, and eat. These places may be private or public; indoors or out; rooms, buildings, or complexes, and architects design them. Architects are licensed professionals trained in the art and science of building design who develop the concepts for structures and turn those concepts into images and plans.
Architects create the overall aesthetic and look of buildings and other structures, but the design of a building involves far more than its appearance. Buildings also must be functional, safe, and economical and must suit the needs of the people who use them. Architects consider all these factors when they design buildings and other structures.
Architects may be involved in all phases of a construction project, from the initial discussion with the client through the entire construction process. Their duties require specific skills-designing, engineering, managing, supervising, and communicating with clients and builders. Architects spend a great deal of time explaining their ideas to clients, construction contractors, and others. Successful architects must be able to communicate their unique vision persuasively.
The architect and client discuss the objectives, requirements, and budget of a project. In some cases, architects provide various predesign services: conducting feasibility and environmental impact studies, selecting a site, preparing cost analysis and land-use studies, or specifying the requirements the design must meet. For example, they may determine space requirements by researching the numbers and types of potential users of a building. The architect then prepares drawings and a report presenting ideas for the client to review.
After discussing and agreeing on the initial proposal, architects develop final construction plans that show the building's appearance and details for its construction. Accompanying these plans are drawings of the structural system; air-conditioning, heating, and ventilating systems; electrical systems; communications systems; plumbing; and, possibly, site and landscape plans. The plans also specify the building materials and, in some cases, the interior furnishings. In developing designs, architects follow building codes, zoning laws, fire regulations, and other ordinances, such as those requiring easy access by people who are disabled. Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has replaced traditional paper and pencil as the most common method for creating design and construction drawings. Continual revision of plans on the basis of client needs and budget constraints is often necessary.
Architects may also assist clients in obtaining construction bids, selecting contractors, and negotiating construction contracts. As construction proceeds, they may visit building sites to make sure that contractors follow the design, adhere to the schedule, use the specified materials, and meet work quality standards. The job is not complete until all construction is finished, required tests are conducted, and construction costs are paid. Sometimes, architects also provide postconstruction services, such as facilities management. They advise on energy efficiency measures, evaluate how well the building design adapts to the needs of occupants, and make necessary improvements.
Often working with engineers, urban planners, interior designers, landscape architects, and other professionals, architects in fact spend a great deal of their time coordinating information from, and the work of, other professionals engaged in the same project.
They design a wide variety of buildings, such as office and apartment buildings, schools, churches, factories, hospitals, houses, and airport terminals. They also design complexes such as urban centers, college campuses, industrial parks, and entire communities.
Architects sometimes specialize in one phase of work. Some specialize in the design of one type of building-for example, hospitals, schools, or housing. Others focus on planning and predesign services or construction management and do minimal design work.
Work environment. Usually working in a comfortable environment, architects spend most of their time in offices consulting with clients, developing reports and drawings, and working with other architects and engineers. However, they often visit construction sites to review the progress of projects. Although most architects work approximately 40 hours per week, they often have to work nights and weekends to meet deadlines.

====================================================
This answer is about architects. The question was "What is an Architectural Engineer". This answer grossly understates the role of engineers in the design of a facility. They are often referred to by architects as "consultants" when in fact the lion's share of the design is done by engineers, not architects. Architectural engineering includes, sitework including site utilities, drainage, heating and cooling, electrical and lighting, structural, fire protection. Architects play a vital role. They are often the lead professional and deal with the client and their needs and coordinate the overall appearance and functionality of the facility, but the design, per se, is mostly done by several engineers specializing in each of the above categories. There are very few architects who have the skills to do all of this by themselves, in fact it is almost unheard of due to the liability when a professional engineer is not engaged.
What is the use of network termination unit?
The network termination unit is used to establish communications link between the customer equipment and the local hoop if the local hoop is digital.
Why do you mentioning the boiler pressure in 'ata'?
Normal atmospheric pressure is abbreviated as atm. But when computing for the amount of total pressure exerted on an object at a specific depth or elevation, including normal atmospheric pressure, then the abbreviation ata is used. It stands for atmospheric pressure absolute.
What is role of mathematics in bioinformatics?
Mathematics plays an important role in sequence analysis and sequence matching, Hidden Markov model, Makov birth and death process, queing theory, distribution function (from Probabilitity and statistics) used in sequence selection and nonlinear differential equation and solution through phase space method, chaos and bifurcation theory used in sequence matching and analysis and deductibility and symmetry topics of Abstact algebra is used in desiging the theory part of sequencing, linear algebra is used in solving large variable linear equation and so much. may be this will help a little bit to cursity.
What is the firing order of a Holden 202 red motor?

What is the structure of a tropo collagen molecule?
Collagen is a substance used in many engineering applications. It has a linear structure similar to that of a carbohydrate.
What is the purpose of alloying metals?
Alloying of metals can be done to
a. Prevent rust(corrosion)
Ex. Chromium and nickel added to iron to form stainless steel. The chromium can form an oxide layer that can prevent iron from oxidise(rust). Suitable to make fork, spoon, and others.
b. To make it harder (hard to shaped)
Ex. Carbon is added to Iron to form steel. Steel is very hard, however brittle also. Suitable to make bridge, cars body, pipe and etc.
Ex. Aluminium is very light but very malleable. When it is added with copper and magnesium, it form duralumin. It is very hard, withstand corrosion and light. Its suitable to make an airplane body.
c. To improve the appearance
A normal metal usually gets dull when it exposed to air, water and uv light in a long time. To create an attractive surface and look, metal such neckel and chromium were added. Ex. Nickel were added to copper to form an alloy named cpro-nickel such alloy were used to make coins attractive and shiny.
What does the letter after ASTM mean for example ASTM e?
ASTM covers a vast number of standard. Each standard or specification is identified by unique identifier that starts with a capital letter follow by one to four digits. The standards listed under "E" represent "Miscellaneous Subjects." For a complete list of ASTM designation see the "Related Links."

What are the roman contributions to architecture and engineering?
Wow...Where to start? Well, the Colosseum was one of the many architectural achievements won by the Romans. It housed 50,000 people, had an area beneath the fighting floor, and it still stands (partially) today! Aqueducts were also among the many advances. Romans used these structures to ferry water through an archway that lead from the mountains directly to the city, allowing plumbing and clean water, without any travel. Stone roads were achieved by building the Appian Way (Via Appia in Latin) which made travel faster, easier, and overall more enjoyable. Caesar, during the crossing of the Rubicon, built a HUGE bridge with his army in only 2 weeks or so. He used gravity and leverage to hammer in the huge support beams underground, by building an apparatus that would be pulled by rope, then dropped (at a 45 degree angle) straight into the wooden beam. If I'm missing more please feel free to correct me, but those are the major advances.

What is the operating frequency for cellular repeaters for inbuilding systems?
The operating frequency for an in-building cellular repeater system is the frequency your cellular provider uses in your area. For example, in the United States Sprint is a 1900MHz PCS carrier, therefore, if you want to repeat Sprint signals in your building you would need an external "Donor" antenna to receive the available Sprint 1900MHz signal outside, a cable would take the signal from the antenna to a powered amplifier designed to amplify the 1900MHz band. Another coax cable would go from the amplifier to the internal antenna in the building which is what your cellular phone would communicate with.
What is the conversion for peak to peak voltage to peak to peak current?
It is the same as the conversion of the voltage to current. You need ohm's law.
Good to now the resistance R.
Scroll down to related links and look at "Ohm's Law".
AnswerThere is no conversion from voltage to current, regardless how they are measured. They are two different quantities, so it's rather like asking, "What is the conversion for kilograms to feet?"It would be useful, almost required to get some sort of Nautical Almanac, which some of the larger Libraries have. Textbooks on astronomical navigation (a.k.a. celestial) would also come in handy as might Corps of Engineers technical manuals on such things as the Vertical axis Theodolite- a most versatile instrument. Get a Nautical al manac, not the farmer"s or News summary types! Good Luck, Galileo Jr!
The astrolabe or sextant was designed to perform said measurements. GPS is common, cheap and easy to use, and it has displaced the units. These tools of navigation are now inexpensive and easy to come by. (Kind of like slide rules after electronic calculators became common.) A look on eBay will probably reveal several different units in a range of prices.Use the link to the Wikipedia article on the sextant and see what it can do.
