  2. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    In-line vent (also known as an island fixture vent, and, colloquially, a "Chicago Loop", "Boston loop" or "Bow Vent") is an alternate method permissible in some jurisdictions of venting the trap installed on an under counter island sink or other similar applications where a conventional vertical vent stack or air admittance valve is not ...

  3. Atmospheric dispersion modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_dispersion...

    During the late 1960s, the Air Pollution Control Office of the U.S. EPA initiated research projects that would lead to the development of models for the use by urban and transportation planners. [1] A major and significant application of a roadway dispersion model that resulted from such research was applied to the Spadina Expressway of Canada ...

  4. List of failed and overbudget custom software projects

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_failed_and_over...

    Because software, unlike a major civil engineering construction project, is often easy and cheap to change after it has been constructed, a piece of custom software that fails to deliver on its objectives may sometimes be modified over time in such a way that it later succeeds—and/or business processes or end-user mindsets may change to accommodate the software.

  5. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    There are three types of natural ventilation occurring in buildings: wind-driven ventilation, pressure-driven flows, and stack ventilation. [15] The pressures generated by 'the stack effect' rely upon the buoyancy of heated or rising air. Wind-driven ventilation relies upon the force of the prevailing wind to pull and push air through the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atmospheric...

    ADMS-Screen – A screening model for rapid assessment of the air quality impact of a single industrial stack to determine if more detailed modelling is needed. It combines the dispersion modelling algorithms of the ADMS models with a user interface requiring minimal input data.

  7. Capella (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capella_(engineering)

    Capella was created by Thales in 2007, and has been under continuous development and evolution since then. The objective is to contribute to the transformation of engineering, providing an engineering environment which approach is based on models rather than focused on documents, piloted by a process, and offering, by construction, ways to ensure effective co-engineering.

  8. Applications of UML - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_UML

    UML is a graphical language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting information about software-intensive systems. [3] UML gives a standard way to write a system model, covering conceptual ideas. [4] [note 2] With an understanding of modeling, the use and application of UML can make the software development process more efficient.

  9. PlantUML - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlantUML

    PlantUML is an open-source tool allowing users to create diagrams from a plain text language. Besides various UML diagrams, PlantUML has support for various other software development related formats (such as Archimate, Block diagram, BPMN, C4, Computer network diagram, ERD, Gantt chart, Mind map, and WBD), as well as visualisation of JSON and YAML files.
