knowledge creation and innovation is recognized to be of paramount importance to the competitive advantage of organizations in modem economics. this research empirically investigates the creation of new knowledge. to analyze data, we used regression. the results indicate that intention, requisite variety, individual autonomy, project autonomy and redundancy are highly associated with successful...

the petrochemical industry is the most important and most widely active industries in the country. due to the variety and complexity of industrial products, it also produces a wild range of pollutants. mercury waste disposal from chlor-alkali units is one of the fundamental problems of this industry. various studies have shown that phytoremediation system for removal of mercury from aqueous sol...

due to easy availability of cheaper raw material and increase in new applications, the use of polyolefins in variousindustries is becoming a major priority. the middle east region, on account of its vast oil and gas reserves has,in the last decade or so, been developing many new petrochemical complexes with their expansion into colossalpolyolefin production capacities. the predictions are that ...

Based on the analysis of the theories of value chain and multinational merger and acquisition, we research the merger and acquisition of petrochemical industries based on value chain, according to the trait of the value chain of the petrochemical industries. And we propose the implementation process and the integration method for the merger and acquisition of petrochemical industries based on v...

Model-based advanced process control strategies are common applications in the hydrocarbon processing industry. A close look at the references available in literature reveals that the overwhelming majority of these projects are concentrated in refineries and in some specific petrochemical plants (e.g., ethylene). This is due to the excellent economic returns demonstrated in an abundance of expe...

Advanced manufacturing and new energy systems are presenting a wide variety of challenges for nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE). This paper discusses the state of the art, needs and opportunities for NDE to provide reliable, effective and economic inspection and monitoring for energy systems. It introduces issues of materials, defects and allowables, the evolution of advanced NDT ...
