...at higher loads than cubes which were hand-compacted. Consequently, it can be said that the compressive strength of mechanically (vibration) compacted concrete at low water/cement ratio is higher than compressive strength of hand-compacted concrete. Needless, to say that from the results obtained from this experiment it can be said that at low water/cement ratio (0.4) concrete compacted by vibration will give the best result and have maximum strength of approximately 60 MPa.

...the silica fumes are collected (ACI Committee 2000). Silica fume was first characterized in the 1950s. It was discovered to be harmful to the environment in the 1970s (Dunster 2009). Because of this, it has been a concern to use it instead of releasing it as an air-pollution. Silica fumes are lighter that cement, having density of about 2200 kg/m3 while that of the latter is 3100 kg/m3. Its surface area ranges from 13,000 to 30,000 m2/ kg while that of cement is 300 to 400 m2/ kg (ACI Committee 2000). Because of these properties, silica fume particles pack in between larger cement particle which enhances mechanical performance and chemical resistance of concrete. For...

..., the company’s financial fortunes and dominance are also based upon providing technologically superior products to customers. In fact, updates and bug fixes for Apple’s products are available more frequently than competing firms and often occur without the active involvement of the user (Dale, 2009). Apple has also taken note of the popularity of the Windows OS and has made some changes in the hardware platforms of its Intel-based Macintosh products to run the OS. Such efforts help maintain good customer satisfaction as Apple’s customers have generally received much more than they expected in terms of customer service. Conclusion The preceding sections discuss the far, near and internal business...

...? Global Company Environment & Strategy How the operations management strategy and issues changes during the life cycle of products/services offered by IKEA: In its early beginning in 1943, operations management strategy is simple and confined to the local operation. There were few employees to manage, few customers to take care of, and few products to design and sell. IKEA built its core competency in its design and introduced the flat packages for unassembled furniture and other home products effectively lowering the price of products making them affordable to as many people as possible, and thereby shaping its mission and vision that is, “to create a...

... as compared to the previous years, so the company expects that it shall look for opportunities so as to use the cash wisely with an expectation to reap more benefits from the investment. The management decides that since there is no requirement for the company to make new aircraft orders in the future, so it hopes to expand the fleet with deliveries from 2015/16 onwards. Presently the company operates a low fare airline business and plans to continue development in this activity by expanding its successful low fares formula on new and existing routes.

...the profits it earns by producing the items at a point where the additional cost incurred in producing the last unit equals the amount earned or price.
Conclusion
Based on the above discussion, it is clear that better allocation of resources in the process of production who ensure reduced cost of production and better pricing. This ensures that producers produce what the consumer desire and within comfortable cost limits rather than productive efficiency which dwells on ideas that are not easily achievable and which may result to high prices that affect consumer welfare negatively.

...call upon the companies to make an 'environment audit' along with their annual financial figures. In fact, a 'green business' is not only good for the environment and humanity but good for business's bottom line as well, because it gives an opportunity to the enterprise for managing the waste, cutting costs on wasteful expenditure, conserving energy and preserving the natural balance. This results in;
Saving money,

4. White Portland Cement
Main components used to manufacture this type of cement encompass china clay and pure chalk, hence making them best for white concrete finishes (Emmitt, Barry & Gorse, 2010). Due to its color and high quality, it is expensive compared to other discussed types due to specific areas where masons prefer using them.
5. Low heat Portland cement
Mostly preferred in constructions of dams and other related structures where other types might be unsuitable because heat of hydration causes them to undergo unwanted shrinkage (Emmitt, Barry & Gorse, 2010).

...Advantages of Cement in Architecture In architecture, binding materials are very important. No structural elements can be put together without an adequately strong binding material. Cement is one of the most important binding materials in construction. It would not be wrong to state that this binding material is the one that is used most readily in many different kinds of construction works. Its wide use and popularity can be attributed to some very magnificent properties of cement.

...Portland cement Mortar Cubes Introduction The objective of this experiment is to apply the ASTM C 109 and C 150 in testing the compressive strength of Portland type 1cement at the first, third and the seventh days. ASTM C 109 defines the procedure for testing compressive strength of hydraulic mortar using 50 by 50 millimeter cube specimens. ASTM C 150 gives the standard specifications for Portland Cement.
Equipment and materials
The apparatus used included Fine aggregate, Portland type 1cement, Molds for mortar cubes, scale, measures, testing machine, tamper, trowel, moist cabinet, mixer, bowl and paddle. The material used was graded standard sand.
Procedure
Before this lab, samples of 1000g for fine...
