Systems Save U.S. Steel? 1. Summarize U.S. Steel’s current competitive situation. Despite its innovative (new) information systems and significant investments in information technology‚ U.S. Steel still faces stiff (hard) competition. Several issues facing USS include: v Economies of scale v Significant losses due to a recession and low prices v One of the key problems that USS has is its location v Producing higher-grade steel v An industry that produces more steel than the world consumes

commercial production of a form of carbon that could rival silicon in its potential for revolutionizing electronics devices ranging from supercomputers to cell phones. Called graphene‚ the material consists of a layer of graphite 50‚000 times thinner than a human hair with unique electronic properties. Graphene’s properties are remarkable. Impermeable to gas‚ strongest two dimensional material ever tested‚ with a tensile strength 200 times as great as that of steel‚ conducts heat better than any

CARBON CREDITS The concept of carbon credits came into existence as a result of increasing awareness of the need for controlling emissions. The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol‚ an international agreement between more than 170 countries. The Protocol agreed has fixed quotas on the maximum amount of Greenhouse gases which can be emitted by the developed and developing countries. In turn these countries set quotas on the emissions of installations run by local business and other organizations

Early Management Failures of Bethlehem Steel LDR/531 October 8‚ 2012 Early Management Failures of Bethlehem Steel Bethlehem Steel was the largest steel builder that begin in the 1900s building bridges in the United States and 1‚127 ships during World War II; however with this early onset of success there were signs of potential failures that management ignored eventually leading to the organization’s own self destruction (Loomis‚ 2004).

Carbon Nanofibers Carbon nanofibers can simply be known as nanostructures with bonded carbon atoms that has a molecule composed entirely of carbon in shape of hollow sphere‚ ellipsoid or tube. The layers are usually wrapped up to form carbon nanotubes. Nanotubes are usually constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132‚000‚000:1. Basically‚ carbon nanofibers can be used very commonly in future as the technology for it is really taking its shape. It can be used for sensors‚ bone growth‚

different metal alloys. A study of how the molecular structure and the carbon content affects the hardness of each metal alloy used is also done during the course of the experiment. Three different tests are used‚ namely: (i) Vicker’s Hardness test (ii) Rockwell Hardness test (iii) Brinell Hardness test A further experiment‚ known as the Charpy Impact Test is conducted to study the toughness of some specimens of steel. Toughness is the measure of the ability of a material to absorb energy

expected that high carbon alloy valves will be adopted at extremely high rate to car engines where higher engine performance is required than in automobiles. However‚ there were difficulties with respect to reliability required for motorcycle engines. The reason for this is that engine valves of car engines are not only smaller in stem diameter‚ but also used at a higher maximum engine speed than those of automobile engines. This study is about a material reduction of high carbon alloy engine valves

involve low carbon society concept. The question is what is sustainable development and low carbon society? Sustainable development is eco-friendly development and low carbon society is society that consumes sustainable and relatively low carbon energy as compared with our present day to avoid adverse climate change. Malaysia also participates in this program in order to reduce carbon emission to avoid climate change. In this research we focus on how to transformed Iskandar Malaysia to low carbon society
