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...

The study has been focused on effect of untreated distillery effluent (Devans Breweries Ltd., Jammu) on germination of gobi sarson (Brassica napus. L. var. Punjabi Special). Six treatments (E0.... E100) each having three replicates were made. E0 was taken as control in which tap water was used for irrigation of the plants. For E20, E40, E60, E80 and E100, different concentrations i.e. 20, 40, 6...

The large land area requirement of constructed wetlands (CWs) is a major limitation of its application especially in densely populated and mountainous areas. This review paper provides insights on different strategies applied for the reduction of land area including stack design and intensification of CWs with different aeration methods. The impacts of different aeration methods on the performa...

D ecision-making for planning a petrochemical industry is a difficult task, particularly when decisions are required to be made under constraints and different objectives. This paper presents the application of multiobjective optimization tools for planning of a mixed-integer model of a petrochemical industry to arrive at a small set of good solutions out of the Pareto optimal solutions. The tw...

The relationship between glucose-induced insulin secretion and metabolism of inositol phospholipid was investigated by means of an islet perifusion method and direct measuring of inositol phosphates after sonicating the islets. The results showed that the time course of inositol phospholipid breakdown is coincident with the first phase of glucose-induced insulin secretion. Analysis of the efflu...

Purpose The paper discusses the new concept of ‘Multinational Investment Projects’ (MIPs) and its application in the context of international business operations in China. The petrochemical industry in China is used as the industrial context in which we investigate the interplay between the Chinese government, which encourages growth and investment activities in the sector, and the multinationa...
