Case Study: Hard Rock Café 1. Describe three different forecasting applications at Hard Rock. Name three other areas in which you think Hard Rock could use forecasting models. The first forecasting application that Hard Rock uses is the point-of-sale system (POS)‚ they can analyze sales data‚ maintain a sales history‚ and improve their pricing of products. The second application Hard Rock uses is the 3-year weighted moving average to help evaluate managers and to set their bonuses. And the

success of a mining operation is its geology. Geology can be classified as either physical or historical geology. Physical geology is the study of Earth materials‚ operating as minerals and rocks‚ as well as the processes operating within Earth and on its surface (Monroe‚ 2001). Geology influences the strength of the rocks‚ the ability to process the given deposit with existing processing techniques and stability of excavation made in the mineral deposit. This emphasizes the importance of geology to mining

CHAPTER ONE 1.0Introduction Basement and crystalline basement rock are used to define the rocks below a sedimentary platform or cover‚ or more generally any rock below sedimentary rocks or sedimentary basins that are metamorphic or igneous in origin. In the same way the sediments and/or sedimentary rocks on top of the basement can be called a cover or sedimentary cover. The basement complex may as known consists of various rock types including granites‚ granodiorites‚ charnockites‚ syenites

The Mystery of Hanging Rock: Time Abandoned In director Peter Weir’s thought-provoking film Picnic at Hanging Rock‚ Marion and Miranda‚ two students and their teacher Miss McCraw undertake an outing to Hanging Rock‚ a mysterious red monolith well outside the boundaries of their prim finishing school in Victorian Australia. Their subsequent disappearance and its inexplicable nature underscore the contrasts between the human world and the natural world. By discarding some of the constraints of the

starts 1.7 billion years ago with the Idaho Springs gneiss found at the upper parking lot of Red Rocks Amphitheater. This rock is made up of potassium feldspar and quartz predominantly‚ which makes the rock appear mostly white in color‚ however‚ hematite stains the outside to give it a red color. The Idaho Springs gneiss was created by two geological events‚ both the growing of the North American basement rock and the formation of super continent Columbia. This can be seen because the Idaho Springs gneiss

Manmade; Water: NO – liquid state‚ only a solid material can be considered a mineral – in it’s naturally occurring ice state it is a solid and therefore a mineral; Wood: NO – organic‚ living material. How are rocks different from minerals: rock is lithified aggregate of a mineral. Rocks may contain multiple minerals as well as organic matter whereas minerals are a singular substance. ATOM: Electrons‚ Protons & Neutrons: Pro & neu heavier particles in the nucleus. Elec are tiny lightweight particles

from pre existing rocks‚ they collect and undergo a process called lithification‚ then form layered rocks The crust of the earth is largely covered up with sedimentary rocks When sedimentary rocks melt they become magma. Magma can undergo crystallization‚ forming igneous rocks (intrusive or extrusive) The igneous rocks may encounter rain and start to break apart and become sediments. Metamorphic rocks are formed by igneous or sedimentary rocks Granite is a: intrusive igneous rock Limestone is

GOTTHARD BASE TUNNEL‚ SWITZERLAND 1. INTRODUCTION Currently under construction to stretch a record length of 57 km‚ the Gotthard Base tunnel located in Switzerland spans the north of Europe‚ spanning through the Swiss Alps to the south of Europe. This railway tunnel has been designed to bypass the inefficient route of windy roads and cutting down travel time. The Gotthard Base tunnel consisting of twin tunnels is connected by cross passages at every 325m. The twin tunnels have been constructed
