...While concrete has been around in one form or another since before Roman times, in this era the cement was usually mixed by hand using a shovel or spade. However in the late 1920 when the automobile industry started to become popular so did the portable cement mixer or concrete mixer as it is more commonly know in the construction industry. A cement mixer is device often used in the construction industry to produce a concrete substance, this is done by adding compound components such as the concrete powder, mortar and water together with the aid of a cement mixer to mix and fold these components to form what is known as a concrete substance which may be used for the application of bricklaying, foot paths or drive ways. A cement mixer is often used in the construction industry in large quantities however these devices can also be used by DIY householders due to the variety of mixers currently available in today’s market. All mixers leverage power, torque and weight distribution to get the concrete to the site, but getting it out of the truck is where you'll see differences in truck designs. Most of the mixer fleet, especially older batch model trucks use a simple tip-and-pour method to get the concrete out of the mixer. A chute attaches to a port and the concrete pours out of the mixer to the project. Usually, the driver of the truck operates the machinery and aims the chute. Many transit mixers are coupled to a hydraulic lift bed that can tip up the drum, similar to a dump truck...

Precious and semi precious stones, 2. White goods, 3. Cement, 4. FMCG Methodology: This research comprised of activities like listing down various agencies like manufacturers, distributors, etc and also chambers and libraries like the Indian merchant chambers and interacting with them in order to gather first hand information. PRECIOUS AND SEMI PRECIOUS STONES The Indian Gems and Jewellery industry is an age old industry and comprises mainly of two types of markets, viz the organized sector and the unorganized sector. The organized sector with branded jewelers, Public Sector Units (PSUs), etc forms only 10% of the precious and semi-precious stones market, whereas, the unorganized sector forms 90% of the gems and jewellery market in India. The unorganized sector employs around 1.5 million workers serving over 0.1 million gold jewelers and over 8000 diamond jewelers. Precious and semi-precious stones industry is a significant earner of foreign exchange. This sector contributes around 17% of India’s exports. The bulk of the Indian gems and jewellery exports comprise imports of rough diamonds, cutting and polishing in India, and re -exports. Cut and Polished Diamonds (CPD) and gold Jewellery...

...2. From Thomas Springer’s inventory, multiple things can be deduced about his life and daily activities. For one thing, it is evident that Thomas Springer did work outside, most likely agricultural and lumber work. He has both a large amount of supplies intended for work outside, including crowbars, axes, and plows, as well as a large portion of agricultural and lumber goods, such as potatoes, cider, and wood. Not only this, but it is noticeable that he has more boots than he has drawers. The fact that he would have more boots than underwear shws that he certainly has a great need for boots, a need which would be justified by daily outdoor agricultural work. Although it is obvious that a good portion of this man’s day and his income is determined by outdoor work, it is also evident that his time is not entirely dominated by such work. It is listed that he has “a lot of books”. It can be assumed that if Springer had no time remaining outside of his agricultural work, then he would be unable to have time to read and thus be unlikely to accumulate many books. Therefore Springer most likely has spare time outside of working, which he is able to use for leisure. This, along with the fact that Springer is able to afford not only a lot of books for pure leisure, but also 2 slaves shows that, although perhaps not extremely wealthy, Springer is certainly well off and providing for himself beyond sustenance. Springer is evidently, thorugh agricultural and lumber work, making a healthy...

...TUGAS AKUNTANSI MANAJERIAL UPSTREAM, MIDSTREAM, dan DOWNSTREAM untuk PERUSAHAAN JASA, MANUFAKTUR, dan DAGANG 1. Pengertian UPSTREAM dan DOWNSTREAM (a) Upstream (Hulu) Tahap Upstream atau hulu dari sebuah proses produksi melibatkan pencarian dan penggalian bahan baku. Bagian hulu dari proses produksi tidak melakukan sesuatu dengan materi itu sendiri, seperti pengolahan bahan. Bagian dari proses ini hanya menemukan dan mengekstrak bahan baku untuk produksi. Dengan demikian, setiap industri yang bergantung pada ekstraksi bahan baku umumnya memiliki tahap hulu dalam proses produksinya. Dalam arti yang lebih umum, "hulu" bisa juga merujuk kepada setiap bagian dari proses produksi yang berkaitan dengan tahap ekstraksi atau pencarian bahan baku. Di dalam supply chain operations, aktivitas upstream (hulu) meliputi aktivitas dari suatu perusahaan manufaktur dengan para penyalurannya (yang mana dapat manufaktur,assembler, atau kedua-duanya) dan koneksi mereka kepada pada penyalur (para penyalur second-tier). Hubungan para penyalur dapat diperluas kepada beberapa strata, semua jalan dari asal material (contohnya bijih tambang, pertumbuhan tanaman). Di dalam upstream supply chain, aktivitas yang utama adalah pengadaan. (b) Downstream (Hilir) Tahap Downstream atau hilir dalam proses produksi melibatkan pengolahan bahan yang dikumpulkan selama tahap hulu menjadi produk jadi. Tahap selanjutnya, meliputi penjualan aktual produk yang ke bisnis lain, pemerintah, atau perorangan...

...constituents of a concrete. The damage was the result of cracking throughout the concrete, manifested at the surface as extensive map cracking or pattern cracking or surface popouts and spalling. Such problems where confined mostly to certain regions of the country” (Osama, Mohamed et al., 2001). ASR was since been discovered in a number of concrete structures around the world, and has become truly a concrete durability problem with an international dimension. Alkali Aggregate reaction (AAR) is a chemical reaction occurring between alkalis derived from Portland cement and certain aggregates which are susceptible to this reaction. 1.2 Types of reactions AAR has been divided into two types of reaction depending on the types of minerals involved. Alkali-Carbonate Reaction (ACR) The Alkali-Carbonate Reaction is a chemical reaction between hydroxyl ions associated with the alkalis sodium and potassium in the cement and certain dolomitic textures in the aggregate resulting in expansion and eventually cracking of the hardened concrete.

...other global competitors in cement derived from globalization? More broadly, how can cross-border activities add value in an industry as apparently localized as cement? The globalization has significantly boosted profitability growth of companies in the cement industry through international trade and cross border investment flows. Possibility to operate in different foreign markets helps companies to diversify its business. It is highly beneficial strategy for cement companies because of the cyclical and economic downturns and upswings of the industry in different regions of the world. Also because of the localized specifics of cement production and high transportation costs cement companies began to invest in foreign producers. CEMEX was successful in its international expansion strategy as it created value through acquisitions- purchasing existing capacity rather than building new plants in the foreign market which in turn strengthened its presence through economies of scale. What is important CEMEX targeted companies which market value was lower than its underlying values: WACC, profitability, capacity etc. Geographic diversification had also reduced earnings volatility. For example when peso crisis happened in Mexico and Mexican cash flows could not be used for FDI, CEMEX used its non Mexican assets from Spain to further finance new acquisitions. 2. How specifically has CEMEX managed to outperform its leading global competitors in the cement industry, especially Holderbank...
