Define and discuss time and space utility

Products must be transported from the place where they are produced to the place where customers demand it to be delivered. The value-add that the product gains due to its transport is called space utility. The time utility is the length of time before or between the product deliveries, which consists of mostly storage and inventory time. When the organizations are able to deliver the goods at a time they are needed, then their time utility increases.

Abstract

The paper describes a test and an activity conducted to check convincingly whether there is gender discrimination amongst bank employees and to demonstrate how randomization techniques can help determine whether there difference between proportions is statistically significant in a given case. The test yields a position wherein 35 out of 48 bank supervisors recommend an application for promotion, wherein the applications are varied just by gender and yields 21 male and 14 female recommendations. The test result is put to test using a randomization technique. The original sample is resampled 100 times and with every resampling a different composition ...

Synopsis

Colomina argues that architecture is not just an envelopment of space; an enclosure of space where people get solace from the elements of nature and other forms of physical threat. Colomina further argues that the impression of the interior of an architectural space is not just what is left by the users of the space; the imprint of their daily activities. Instead, he argues that the interior of an architectural contains hidden mechanisms that may not be overt to the untrained eye. These hidden mechanisms help describe the construction of the interior space of the building (Colomina 233). Based ...

I can feel the stage being set, as if something in the air awakens me to it. Among the ear-piercing drumming and shredding, the singer’s vocal cords fleeing from his throat screaming “NIGHTMARE,” the raven-black crowd starts backing away from one another as they create a semi-perfect circle. Everyone is stalking their prey across the circle as they wait for the chorus to start. Suddenly, I feel a sweaty grip pulling my left hand into the crowd away from the circle to the front rows. Startled, I tilt my head to see who is pulling me – it is ...

Introduction

Suspension bridges connect roadways between two land masses by links, ropes or cables hung from two large towers. These towers bolster most of the weight as pressure presses down on the deck of the suspension bridge and after that goes up the links, ropes or binds to transfer pressure to the towers. These bridge towers then disseminate the pressure directly to ground. The metal links on the suspension bridge, then again, have to bear all the bridge’s tensional forces. These cables are suspended across level planes between the two widely separated anchorages. Span docks are basically strong rock ...

A. In the third part of the poster project, I visited the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles, where I gained insights in the following ideas: the history of Chinese in Monterey Park, acupuncture, and the abacus.

Various writings and materials at the Museum provide information about Chinese history in Monterey Park.

Acupuncture, a healing technique that utilizes fine needles inserted into points of the body, was first accepted officially as a medical practice in California in 1976. The abacus was invented to do mathematical calculations in China and it is still used by shops in Asia and Chinese American communities in North America. B.

Presently, Monterey Park is one of the cities in the United States that accommodates the largest population of Chinese Americans.

For instance, the migration of Chinese to the United ...

The Suir River Bridge

Introduction Bridges are prone to harsh environmental conditions, increased traffic and loads among other physical mechanisms. Additionally, deferred maintenance contributes, majorly, to the deterioration of these bridges. For these reasons, therefore, it is important that every existing bridge is constantly subjected to assessments to determine its condition. This is important in order to determine and develop the bridge’s rating regarding the load it can hold and subsequently strengthen it to withstand more load to meet the ever increasing demands. An assessment is also fundamental in determining whether the bridge ought to be posted for the sake of public ...
