cement

Examples of cement in the following topics:

• Three examples

  • In 1998, the Cemex cement manufacturing company in Mexico sent a team of managers into one of the poorest areas of the country to conduct a six-month study on how to increase sales.
  • People with limited incomes accounted for around 40% of Cemex's cement sales so the company wanted to learn how best to serve what they suspected was a virtually untapped market.
  • After living amongst this customer base and learning its needs, the Cemex team discovered how poor people used cement, how they could pay for it, and a host of other profitable facts, which they then used to make their products more accessible.

• When building new, think before doing

  • Cover parking areas with light-coloured cement or other light-coloured surfacing rather than asphalt.
  • Avoid unshaded rock, cement or asphalt landscaping on the south or west sides of a building, which increase ambient temperatures and radiate heat long after the sun has set.

• Reinforced Concrete Construction

  • Concrete is a mixture of coarse (stone or brick chips) and fine (generally sand or crushed stone) aggregates, with a paste or binder material, known as cement.
  • When cement is mixed with a small amount of water, it hydrates to form microscopic opaque crystal lattices encapsulating and locking the aggregate into a rigid structure.
  • When the cement paste within the concrete hardens, this conforms to the surface details of the steel, permitting any stress to be transmitted efficiently between the different materials.

• The Last Days of the Federal Presidency: The Midnight Judges

  • Essentially, the decision handed down by Marshall strengthened the power of the federal judiciary and permanently cemented its fundamental role in shaping both state and federal law—expanding the powers of the national government and ensuring a permanent Federalist legacy in the separation of federal powers.

• Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue

  • The basement layer is non-cellular in nature and helps to cement the epithelial tissue to the underlying structures.

• Inherent Powers

  • Finally, Jefferson used the party system to cement strong ties with Congress and expanded the role of the president in the legislative process.

• The Rise of the Macedon

  • Philip II’s conquests during the Third Sacred War cemented his power, as well as the influence of Macedon, throughout the Hellenic world.

• American Art Deco Architecture

  • Exotic woods and stone were replaced with cement and glass.

• Soil Formation

  • The organic component of soil serves as a cementing agent, returns nutrients to the plant, allows soil to store moisture, makes soil tillable for farming, and provides energy for soil microorganisms.

• Microscopic Anatomy of Bone

  • The boundary of an osteon is called the cement line.
