In this study, we investigated the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers on firm production and technical efficiency in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector from 2010 to 2015. We scrutinized three different channels horizontal spillover, namely, demonstration, technology adoption, competition channels. also captured heterogeneous effect firms by categorizing them based their t...

In computer forensics, carving is an important trick in the digital investigator’s sleeve. Since files are typically stored as sequences of data blocks, the retrieval process basically consists of locating and appropriately collating together the original blocks of each file. Traditional file carving solutions, generally based on signatures of file headers and footers, could be improved by perf...

This thesis provides an original piece of work and contribution to knowledge by creating a new process planning system; Haptic Aided Process Planning (HAPP). This system is based on the combination of haptics and virtual reality (VR). HAPP creates a simulative machining environment where Process plans are automatically generated from the real time logging of a user’s interaction. Further, throu...

nitrogen is produced mainly from its most abundant source, the air, using three processes: membrane, pressure swing adsorption (psa) and cryogenic. the most common method for evaluating a process is using the selection diagrams based on feasibility studies. since the selection diagrams are presented by different companies, they are biased, and provide unsimilar and even controversial results. i...
