Student’s Name Professor Course Date Thermal-resistant lightweight concrete with polyethylene beads as coarse aggregates As stated by Ali et al. (739), concrete is the extensively used construction material globally. However, in most cases, people use regular concrete, which is characterized by the high weight and low or limited range of thermal conductivity. Various previous research studies conducted recommend that the use of lightweight concrete is more effective in the construction industry because of its many advantages. The scientific objectives of this study include: to find out how a reduction in the weight of the concrete leads to positive results in the construction domain. Another objective is to find out how the use of thermal insulating lightweight concrete leads to conserves energy and lowers greenhouse gases. The research also seeks to assess and evaluate the durability of the structures done using lightweight concrete. In finding more information about the usage of lightweight concrete, the study uses various approaches to achieve its objectives. Generally, the study used an inductive research approach, where it directly focuses on the aims and objectives to…

To whom it may concern: I hope that you are okay. I am delighted to write this letter to recommend my intern, who worked under me as a volunteer in my clinic for three months. He is an exceptionally committed person who enjoys his work. Throughout the time I have worked with him, he has proven to be a fast learner. He has an incredible thirst for acquiring knowledge in the medical field. He has a dedication to his work, and I believe his desire to care for people, including his academic achievements, will make excellent medical personnel in the future. My first interaction with him was when he came to look for a medical internship at my clinic, and I found him helping a disabled person reach the doorknob to my office. At first, I thought they were in relation, but he was next to my office after attending to the patient. He requested an internship, but I had to ask him if he had links with the disabled person he had just helped. Well, he said he was…

Literature review Criminal justice has not been granted to all the races equally. Based on the issue of prison time and racism, the time served in prison by the blacks is not the same as the time served by the whites. The essay will discuss the difference in prison time based on racial disparity. For instance, research showed that in the year 2016, black people were sent to prison was at five times rates compared to the white people. Also, these black individuals spend much time in prison more than white peers. The black population is prone to prison time because of the vulnerability of the lack of resources and the desperation to fit into life situations. Black people who commit crimes of drug and property times serve more time in prisons compared to the white counterparts proving the high rate of injustice in the criminal justice system. The black people charged for violent crimes, the prison time grew twice as much than that of the white population in the United States. Some of the identified causes of racial disparity…

Benefits of choosing to use solar fridges and solar phone chargers. A solar-charged battery is a one-time installation system that means you have electrical power all the time, even when others are experiencing an outage. The charge is connected to solar panels that get power from the sun’s rays, and it’s converted to electricity. Apart from being free, there are many benefits of choosing to use solar fridges and solar phone chargers. Noise-free clean, and renewable energy If you are looking for 100% quiet and clean renewable energy, solar charging should be at the top of your list. It is readily available, and you do not have to rely on coal, natural gas, or oil to get electricity. Such sources of energy also release toxic emissions into the environment, which lowers air quality. electrical power is produced by machines with moving parts, which is noisy and also gives out waste. The world is expected to lose many animal and plant species from 2000 to 2065 due to harmful emissions. It is a staggering statistic and the reason you should be…

Name Course Instructor Date Pricing Strategy for Atlantic Computer Atlantic Computer was a leading player in the computer industry for long. It created new products as well as improve its existing products. Atlantic had a competitive advantage because it prioritized the production of reliable products, of high quality and also was responsive to customer complaints even after sales were made. Atlantic’s market share was significant because the company had its strategy based on product differentiation and customer’s intimacy. Jowers was only four months old at Atlantic, but he was ready to take the challenge of pricing for the new products- PESA and Tronn. Jowers is facing the challenge of pricing Atlantic’s latest products and is confused about the factors to consider for an optimum price. Jowers is weighing whether to use a cost-plus, competition-based strategy or remain with the company’s status-quo pricing strategy. I would recommend that Jowers draws up a strategy that responds to market needs. Evaluating what customers expect is key to achieving a fair price. Jowers should go ahead with his plan of meeting with his customer…

Is Anyone Selfless? Everyone is not selfless. Many people partake in duties that touch others in divergent ways like monetary contributions and tangible donations. In the United States, the scale of private household contribution is enormous, totaling 89% of the total donation (Ariely, Bracha & Meier, 2009).  The existing different charitable contributions besides other real-life donations provide a picture of selfless and motivation. The United States’ job sector also records close to 9million volunteer full-time jobs emanating from the desire of human social approval.  Selflessness has conditioned human beings to act in prosocially hence building positive images of humanity. Scientific studies (Costly signaling theory) have theorized that men are more generous in women’s presence as opposed to their fellow males (Iredale, Van Vugt & Dunbar, 2008). Men find it easy to make a contribution in the presence of the opposite sex, unlike when observed by the same sex. Men’s drive to contribute in the presence of the opposite sex is a mechanism defining their ego. Men generosity can also be pegged on mating signals’ evolution, which they do not express…

Critically analyzing information to come up with a choice Introduction It is human nature to believe that the information they possess to be accurate and anything else to be lies or fake news. However, when different information that seems to be factual is received, there is a conflict on what should be regarded as truth or what should not be believed. The cognitive dissonance theory is among the many social approaches that have spun decades of research. Still, even with the recent technological advancements, especially in internet use and social media activity, more research is needed to highlight the challenges people face when filtering information and arguing what information is accurate to post on social media. When faced with cognitive dissonance, many individuals will try and reduce the contributing factor that brings the dissonance. At the same time, some will inherently persuade themselves that what they know is the truth and desist from other sources. Arguably, the cognitive dissonance theory, the benefits include embracing new knowledge that leads to the powerful filtering of information and imparting new ideas and rationales.…

Lean Six Sigma Lean Six Sigma involves carrying out five distinct steps; these are define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC). Organizations that benefit the most from Lean Six Sigma embrace all the steps throughout all levels of their operations. The importance of the five steps in the achievement of organizational transformation is evidenced in the transformation of two organizations Linde Group and Boston Scientific. Both organizations transformed their operations using the principles of Lean Six Sigma and provide great insight into the success that may be achieved by applying the methodology. The Mega Pack Line Blow-Up project at Boston Scientific Heredia looked to implement an efficient continuous-flow packaging line. In Linde Group, a global gases and engineering organization with many moving parts, the goal for implementing Lean and Six Sigma was to streamline and improve their operations. The first step is define whereby there occurs a definition of the problem, the opportunities for improvement, improvement activity, project objectives, and customer requirements. In the second step of measure, process performance is measured, and the magnitude of the problem is assessed.…
