The hydration of portland cement in presence of citric acid has been investigated. The results indicate that O.l% citric acid accelerates whereas too high a dose (> 0.1%) of citric acid retards the hydration. Electrical conductivity measurements of the paste indicate that in the presence of citric a

In the discussed paper,~)the ~ author describes and interprets effects induced by the presence of some admixtures on the hydration o£ a portland cement. Additional information is certainly needed to clari~y mechanisms of cement-admixture interactions. However, we consider the interpretations and con
## Summuy I n this paper we study the problem of eatimating the mean when the number of observations taken on each unit is 8 random variable. The estimator proposed by M. SIXOH and V. K. GUPTA (1980) is discussed and modified. It is argued, however, that the arithmetic mean is a more appropriate c
