RELATIONSHIP MARKETING – THE KEY OF THE SUCCESS IN BUSINESS

The sincere and open orientation towards solving the customer‟s problem is the key the manager uses to open the door to success. In business there are only two ways to create and maintain a long term superior performance: an exceptional customer care and a constant innovation.Investments, Risk, Efficiency, Economic environment, Economic recession, Economic crises

MERCHANDISING – THE ART OF SELLING

Merchandising is that part of marketing that brings together a series of marketing techniques aswell as product promotion techniques in shops. Sinthetically we can call merchandising the art of selling. This syntagme reffers to aspects like the interior and exterior desing of a shop, the merchandise display as well as the practiced selling methods and the services offered.Merchandising, product promotion, marketing techniques, shopping services

Sexsomnia and REM : predominant obstructive sleep apnea effectively treated with a mandibular advancement device

© 2016 Brazilian Association of Sleep. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/BY-NC-ND/4.0/).Parasomnias with sexual behavior or sexsomnias are considered a subtype of NREM parasomnias. Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSAH) has been described as a known triggering factor for parasomnias including sexsomnia. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been the standard of treatment for OSAH but mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are becoming an important treatment alternative. We present the case of a patient with mild OSAH and sexsomnia who had resolution of both conditions with a MAD. This patient had the added uniqueness of having REM-predominant OSAH.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Analysis of the fulfillment of state normative on the environmetal impacto evaluation of large dams projects

En nuestro trabajo se realiza un análisis de las declaraciones de impacto ambiental (DIA) hechas públicas en el BOE desde 1990 al 2001, sobre proyectos de grandes presas. Se puede observar el incumplimiento del arficulado sobre el contenido del Estudio de Impacto Ambiental especificado en el Reglamento 1131/1988, de 30 de septiembre, que se detalla en el trabajo. Asimismo se analizan las deficiencias encontradas en las DIA, documento de gran importancia en la aprobación y especificación de los condicionantes necesarios para que el desarrollo del proyecto no cause un impacto irreparable.The purpose of this work consists on specfiing through un analysis of the DIA emitted in Spain, for theprojecfi of large dams. which are the most signi/icant aspects that are considered, how the studies of environmental impact presented are assess and what deficiencies or adaptation lack fo the evaluation procedure are detected. We concludes with someproposals in order to improve the procedure in the elaboration of the DIA according lo appropriate execution of that are speciJed in the state environmenlai normative

Effect of Forage Allowance on Native Pasture Traits, Stocking Rate and Beef Cow Body Condition

Stocking rate is a poor indicator of grazing intensity because, in contrast to forage allowance, it gives no information of feed availability. Forage allowance (FA), measured as kg of forage dry matter (DM) per kg of live weight (LW), is the ratio between forage mass and stocking rate (Sollenberger et al. 2005). Crossbred cows demonstrated higher production efficiency than purebreds in poor and rich quality pastures (Barlow et al. 1994) but few experiments have been conducted under different FA in Campos grasslands with growing beef steers (Maraschin et al. 1997, Soares et al. 2005), and no work has been conducted with beef cows during various gestation-lactation cycles. Also, there have been no studies on FA to test for interations between cow genotype and environment. The objective of this work was to test the effect of two FA and two cow genotypes on pasture traits, stocking rate and body condition score (BCS) of cows

Forage Allowance and Cow Genotype, Tools to Increase Animal Production in Native Pastures

In eight plots (four per block) the effects of two FA per two cow genotypes were tested from August 2007 to March 2010, on a Campos grassland (major species were Axonopus affinis, Oxalis sp., Cyperus sp., Cynodon dactylon, Eryngium nudicaule, Gaudinia fragilis, Chevreulia sarmentosa, Stipa setigera, Paspalum notatum and Coelorhachis selloana) in Uruguay (32º 20` S, 54º 26` W). Forage allowance varied seasonally, in HIGH (5, 3, 4 and 4 kg DM/kg LW) and LOW (3, 3, 2 and 2 kg DM/kg LW) during autumn, winter, spring and summer; respectively. Continuous stocking method was applied throughout the year, with FA adjusted monthly, using the “put and take method” (Mott and Lucas 1952). Thirty PURE (Hereford and Aberdeen Angus) and thirty CROSS (F1 reciprocal Hereford and Angus crosses) multiparous cows, aged four to eight years with normal calving and pregnancies, were randomly assigned to the plots. Cow LW and BCS were measured monthly and in key moments such as calving and at the beginning of the breeding season. BCS was visually assigned on a scale ranking from 1 = very thin to 8 = very fat (Vizcarra et al. 1986). Cows did not breed during summer 2010. Data of cow LW and BCS and calf weight at weaning (94 ± 31 d) were analyzed using the MIXED procedure (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA, 2002). The model included FA, cow genotype, year and their interactions as fixed effects, block as random effect, and for cow BCS at the beginning of the breeding season, cow BCS at calving was used as covariate. Tukey–Kramer test were conducted for mean separation (α = 0.05)

Mix Design of Self Compacting Concrete Based on Ultra High Compressive Strength Flow Mortar Mix

Mix design of Self Compacting Concrete or SCC is not straight forward because many parameters control its rheological properties. The case becomes more complicated if high compressive strength is also to be achieved. Therefore simpler approach is used, that is by firstly determining the flow mortar mix which is easier to be designed even with the requirement of ultra-high compressive strength. The mix design of SCC is then determined by simply adding the coarse aggregate with a certain amount of that mortar mix. In this research the ultra-high compressive strength flow mortar was made of Type I cement, 15% of cement weight silica fume, weight ratio of cement and curve No IV sand was 1: 0.35. The water-cementious ratio was 0.22 and the amount of plasticizer was 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5% and 1.6% of the cement weight. For the SCC, the used coefficient was taken to be 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 of the volume of that aggregate void for mortars, the aggregate value was at the volume of the remaining count of mortar and its size was 4.8 mm - 9.6 mm. Test results show that the mortar flow ability was 170 mm, 180 mm, 220 mm and 250 mm, where the achieved compressive strength was 83.1 MPa, 96.8 MPa, 111.4 MPa, and 135.5 MPa respectively. Mortar mix with 1.6% super plasticizer was then used for making the SCC and the results show that the concrete flow were 460 mm, 580 mm and 660 mm and the compressive strength were 88.2 MPa, 100.0 MPa, and 97.9 MPa.  It can be concluded that using this simpler approach the SCC can have 580 mm flow and 100 MPa compressive strengt
