Threshold effects in the relationship between oil revenues and growth in oil exporting countries.
Mohsen Mehrara and Seyed Mohammad Hossein Sadr
Abstract:
While there is much evidence to support the resource curse hypothesis for resource abundant countries, some studies have found that oil booms raise the economic growth of oil exporting countries. This paper examines the issue of the existence of the threshold effects in the relationship between oil revenues and output growth in oil-exporting countries, applying panel regressions. The empirical results strongly suggest the existence of a threshold beyond which oil revenues growth exerts a negative effect on output. The results indicate that the threshold of growth rate of oil revenues above which oil revenues significantly slows growth is around 18-19 percent for oil exporting countries. In contrast, linear estimation without any allowance for threshold effects would misleadingly have us believe that an increase in the oil revenues increase the growth rate. Failure to account for nonlinearities conceal the resource curse in these countries particularly during extreme oil booms as suggested in previous studies.

With more developments and dynamic innovations, environment is being depleted with natural resources leading to various problems of diversified nature. These problems are so diversified that it will affect the entire human community along with the other living species. Developed and developing nations alike are becoming increasingly aware of the staggering amount of obsolete electronics, or e-waste, being generated by both consumers and organizations. India is already a huge producer of Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) as it has one of the fastest growing markets for Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE), one that is far from saturation.

The Use of Visual Cues and Metaphors in Advertising.
Vikram Kapoor
Abstract:
By evoking profound thoughts and emotions, visual cues grab a reader's attention. It allows them to interpret the image in a literal and metaphorical way. Visual cues are used ubiquitously in advertising in the form of graphic designs and pictures. To make the most out of an advertisement, the advertiser must use visual elements effectively. This paper highlights how the visual cueing process works in the development of the viewers interpretations in areas such as metaphoric meanings with real-world Television advertisements. Mere symbolic meanings are primarily culturally derived and dependent on learned meanings. Hence, these ideas are loosely fastened and less anchored in iconographic representation and are not devoid of personal and idiosyncratic interpretation.

Crisis Management.
Dr. (Mrs.) A. Kumudha and Mr. K. Prabakar
Abstract:
The current economic crisis cannot be an excuse to postpone international mobilization of funds to halt climate change - said by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said recently in India. Crisis avoidance can be as mundane as the internal financial controls that prevent embezzlement or the squandering of corporate resources. Some crises are self-inflicted. These can be avoided by thoughtful anticipation of the consequences of company policies and actions.

Impact of Just-In-Time Production Towards Global Competitiveness Through Competency Management.
Dr. A. Kumuudha, Benny J. Godwin and K. Prabakar
Abstract:
Beginning in the early 1980's, a number of firms followed the pioneering efforts of Shigeo Shingo and Taichi Ohno and adopted Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing in an attempt to reshape their manufacturing environments (see Bragg, Duplaga, and Penlesky, 2005). JIT requires that a company has a few reliable suppliers and is believed to enhance productivity and build a leaner manufacturing system which minimizes inventories (Helo, 2004) and reduces which reduces risk and helps minimize the cost of manufacturing (Curry and Kennedy, 1999). The present work will analyze what have been the results throughout the supply chain, in terms of inventory management that utilize JIT systems.

Data Mining Issues and Key to Success.
Deep Mala Sihint
Abstract:
The major reason that data mining has attracted a great deal of attention in the information industry in recent years is due to wide availability of huge amounts of data and the imminent need for turning such data into useful information and knowledge, and can be used for applications ranging from business management, production control and market analysis to engineering design and science exploration. A fruitful direction for future data mining research will be the development of techniques that incorporate privacy concerns. Data Mining is the process of automatic discovery and understandable models and patterns from large amounts of data. Donload full Lenght Paper......

Synthesis of MCM-41 via different routes.
Ranajyoti Das and Bharat Modhera
Abstract:
This review focuses the different routes for MCM-41 synthesis such as nano-sized mesoporous silicas with metal oxide incorporation, from Glycerol and Ethylenediamine, from different dioxosilicon sources, synthesis of pure siliceous MCM-41 with different pore diameter, synthesis highly ordered MCM-41 with mixed surfactants, and synthesis from rice husk ash. The emerging characteristic of synthesized MCM-41 by these different routes was also discussed such as surface morphology, surface area, pore diameter and crystal sizes of MCM-41 in this review.

A New approach to Sensor less vector control of induction motors.
G. Srinivas and Dr. S. Tarakalyani
Abstract:
Induction motors are used in variable speed drive applications with the development of vector control technology. There are two forms of vector or field oriented control: direct field orientation, which relies on direct measurement or estimation of the rotor flux, and indirect field orientation, which utilizes an inherent slip relation. Though indirect field orientation essentially uses the command (reference) rotor flux, some recent works using the actual rotor flux are reported to achieve perfect decoupling Estimation rather than measurement of the rotor flux is an alternative approach for both direct and indirect field orientation that has received considerable attention. In this paper the rotor flux and speed control of induction motor is presented using a novel technique in which the induction motor model in rotor reference frame is considered. Controllers used for sensor less control of the drive.

Abstract:
At present customer satisfaction is the prime objective of any organization. Customer can be either internal or external. From various practices outcome we have realized that TQM is the best quality programme for replacing older Quality system with ultimate goal as customer satisfaction. In this paper we have developed a process model to compare ISO 9001 to TQM. TQM helps to achieve incremental improvements continuously requiring full participation and involvement of all stakeholders of the organization that are shown in stated reasons and implied reasons. It is a combination of quality and management tools aimed at increasing business and reducing losses due to wasteful practices.
