Separation Study Of Titanomagnetite Fe3-Xtixo4 From Natural Sand At Indramayu, West Java, Sunaryo Sunaryo, Iwan Sugihartono

Makara Journal of Technology

Separation Study of Titanomagnetite Fe3-xTixO4 from Natural Sand at Indramayu, West Java. Titanomagnetite FeTiO4 has been obtained from metal sand which is separated from natural sand at Indramayu using magnetic separator with the magnetic field 0,3 Tesla. This method can improve titanomagnetite content from 32% to 63,6%. According to X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and data processing by general structure analyses system (GSAS) with χ2= 1,454 and Wrp = 0,1142 as correction factor of the peak to peak intensities, we conclude that χ2 about 0 and Wrp aproximately 10%. It indicates the datas with the error merely 0,1 can be accepted. Furthermore, …

Hydrogen Absorption Induced Slow Crack Growth In Austenitic Stainless Steels For Petrochemical Pressure Vessel Industries, Ronnie Higuchi Rusli

Makara Journal of Technology

Type 304L and type 309 austenitic stainless steels were tested either by exposed to gaseous hydrogen or undergoing polarized cathodic charging. Slow crack growth by straining was observed in type 304L, and the formation of α‘ martensite was indicated to be precursor for such cracking. Gross plastic deformation was observed at the tip of the notch, and a single crack grew slowly from this region in a direction approximately perpendicular to the tensile axis. Martensite formation is not a necessary condition for hydrogen embrittlement in the austenitic phase.

Makara Journal of Technology

Shaft Torsional Vibration Response of Vertical Axis Ocean Current Turbine Model Due to Torque Excitation. The current research aimed to study the torsional vibration response of Vertical Axis Ocean Current Turbine due to randomly torque excitation pattern, owing to the variety of ocean current velocity. The turbine model is composed of 3 aluminum blades of NACA 0018 connected to steel shaft. Turbine dimensions are 10 cm of chord, 1.8 cm of chamber and 100 cm of span. The variation of ocean current velocity is 0.5 m/s, 1.0 m/s, 1.5 m/s, 2.0 m/s, 2.5 m/s and 3.0 m/s. The Model has …

The Role Of Auditors In Fraud Detection, Prevention And Reporting In Nigeria, Ayobami Oluwagbemiga Oyinlola

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Abstract This study investigates the role of auditors in the detection, prevention and reporting of fraud. Data were obtained from 184 respondents in Nigeria. The findings revealed that the respondents are very concerned about the problem of fraud. In addition, the respondents placed very high expectation on auditors’ duties on fraud prevention and detection. This perception is in contrast with the stated primary objective of an audit, as stipulated in ISA 200, which merely required auditors to form an opinion on the financial statements, but not of fraud detection. Keywords: Auditors, fraud, detection, prevention

From Helena To Harlem: Experiences Of Lower-Income Rural And Urban Parents In Childrens Savings Account Programs, Edward Scalon, Leann Wittman

Center for Social Development Research

This report focuses on a qualitative study of parents and other parents who were involved in the SEED program at the Harlem Children’s Zone in New York City and the Southern Good Faith Fund in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. In-depth interviews with the caregivers of child participants were designed to help provide a richer understanding of perceived facilitators and obstacles to saving, perceived effects of saving, and participants’ experiences of various program features. This report focus on three of our primary research concerns: perceived saving facilitators, perceived saving barriers, and perceived impacts of SEED participation.

Economics And Psychology: Exciting Interface In The Emerging Market Milieu, Sudhanva V. Char, Cherry Collier

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

The business of economics has always been the study of the dynamics of human behavior. It deals with how individuals, businesses or any group of people craft decisions concerning use of scarce resources in the hope of maximizing happiness. Economics is preoccupied with the study of decision-making under pressure of limited wherewithal, for which purpose it puts faith in rationality. However, postulating rationality for all times is a tall demand and somewhat naïve like in "animal spirits" and "irrational exuberance." Also what exactly is rational or for the greater good, is not always crystal clear. This paper surveys the Economics-Psychology …

Flying Towards The Successful Skies: The Emerging Region Multinationals, Roli Nigam, Zhan Su

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

Multinationals from emerging regions have long been ignored by practitioners as well as researchers. However, with the ongoing globalization the emerging country multinationals have internationalized and emerged as strong global contenders. Their successful growth has been in spite of various complexities existing in their regions/countries due to economic backwardness along with the late comer disadvantage. Accordingly, their growing significance and participation in the global value chain makes it mandatory that they should be studied in detail and that our understanding about them should develop.

India’S Emerging Technology Commercialization Policy: Lessons From The American Model, Roop Singh, Sonali Tare

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

India, the world’s 4th largest economy (PPP) is riddled with dichotomies. It can be called the IT capital of the world, though 200 million people go without enough food each day. Is India using its scientific and technological prowess for national good? America has had a rich set of experiences in the areas of 'Technology Commercialization and Licensing'. We present recommendations for India’s upcoming legislative deliberations. These are based on India’s current landscape and the success factors in America’s experiences in this arena. We see the following as essential immediate impact points: Policy Harmonization; Steady Budget Increase & Enforcement Institutions.

Hong Kong And The Pearl River Delta: The Emergence Of A Super Zone, Carola B. Ramon-Berjano

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

This paper discusses the rapid growth of the Pearl River Delta in the southern province of Guangdong in China, not only as part of a national development strategy but also in terms of the creation of a super zone with the neighbouring areas, particularly Hong Kong. This paper shows the success of the development of the coastal region of Guangdong province and the creation of a megalopolis between the cities of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. This success is explained by the synergy created between these two neighbouring areas, particularly after Hong Kong’s reunification with China in 1997 and the Closer …

Turkey: Another $1 Trillion Emerging Economy?, Murat Doral

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

The strategic location of Turkey makes it a very important country in terms of geopolitics as well as economics. Turkey is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East. It is where East meets West without clashing with each other but merging with each other. Even though, industry, trade, and finance are all dominated by the expansive and crowded Istanbul, other cities and towns in Anatolia –the Anatolian Tigers- are industrializing rapidly and now participating in the global economy.

Today, Turkey has the largest economy in the greater Middle East. Depending of the source, Turkey …

Understanding Brazil’S Oil Industry: Policy Dynamics And Self-Sufficiency, Erjia Joy Guan

Journal of Emerging Knowledge on Emerging Markets

This paper focuses on the premise that despite changes in the type of Brazil’s governmental leadership—and their respective political priorities and economic policies—the nation has engaged in a continual movement toward the fulfillment of its vision of self-sufficiency in oil, for the purposes of economic development as well as those of national security. After attaining self-sufficiency in oil in 2006, new offshore discoveries beginning in 2007 have placed Brazil among the world’s top ten countries in oil reserves. In light of these discoveries, the Brazilian government is considering a new legal framework with respect to its offshore oil reserves. This …
