A HISTORY OF BUSINESS ETHICS
A HISTORY OF BUSINESS ETHICS ~ The history of “business ethics” depends on how one defines it. Althoughthe term is used in several senses and varies somewhat for differentcountries, its current use originated in the United States and becamewidespread in the 1970s. The history of business ethics in the UnitedStates can be viewed as the [...]

Theory and application of a new method for the in-situ measurement of sound absorption
Theory and application of a new method for the in-situ measurement of sound absorption ~ Theory The spatially averaged absorption coefficient of an area S is defined as the ratio of the time-averaged active sound power and the time-averaged incident sound power. α ≡ Pin− Prefl Pin = Pac Pin = ∫S Iac · ndS [...]

COMPLEX VARIABLES AND APPLICATIONS
COMPLEX VARIABLES AND APPLICATIONS ~ Complex numbers can be defined as ordered pairs (x,y) of real numbers that are to be interpreted as points in the complex plane, with rectangular coordinates x and y, just as real numbers x are thought of as points on the real line. When real numbers x are displayed as [...]

Low-Cycle Fatigue of Oil Well Cements in Compression
Low-Cycle Fatigue of Oil Well Cements in Compression ~ Although the compressive fatigue of concrete has been investigated extensively, only a few studies can be found in the literature with regard to the fatigue of cement paste. Antrim16 reported that the fatigue strength of cement paste increases with w/cm and that the characteristics of plain [...]

Relative Compressive Strength of Concretes under Elevated Temperatures
Relative Compressive Strength of Concretes under Elevated Temperatures ~ RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE Concrete properties are altered by fire exposure; being able to accurately predict properties such as compressive strength after fire is crucial for the further usage of concrete struc- tures affected by fire. Despite the fact that certain models have already been proposed for the [...]

Energy-Based Analysis of Nanoindentation Curves for Cementitious Materials
Energy-Based Analysis of Nanoindentation Curves for Cementitious Materials ~ Energies dissipated during indentation are often employed to develop mathematical relations for the computation of nanoscale mechanical properties of a material. In this study, experimental nanoindentation curves pertaining to cement paste are extensively analyzed using the energy principle. As a result, energy ratios are found to [...]

Early-Age Shrinkage of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete under Drying/Wetting Cycles and Submerged Conditions
Early-Age Shrinkage of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete under Drying/Wetting Cycles and Submerged Conditions ~ Concrete is usually subjected to early-age variation in temperature, relative humidity (RH), wind, and other environmental loading that can alter its behavior. In this study, the early-age shrinkage behavior of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is inves- tigated under simulated field conditions. The effects of [...]

Computerized Tomography in Intracranial Hemorrhage
Computerized Tomography in Intracranial Hemorrhage ~ \Three hundred patients with intracranial hemorrhage were studied by computerized tomography (CT). Thalamicganglionic hematoma was found in 232; the mortality increased from 25% to 70% ifventricular extension occurred in thisgroup. Lobar hematoma occurred in 45 ofthese patients, with a mortality of 20%,which was not influenced by ventricularextension. Seven had [...]
