The document discusses transfer pricing in India. It begins with an introduction to transfer pricing, noting that it refers to the pricing of cross-border transactions between related entities. The price must be comparable to what unrelated parties would charge, known as the arm's length price. It then provides an overview of India's transfer pricing regulations, including the introduction of legislation in 2001 based on OECD guidelines. Key points covered include the definition of associated enterprises, identification of international transactions, and the methods used to determine arm's length pricing such as comparable uncontrolled price, resale price, cost plus, transactional net margin, and profit split methods. The document also includes two case studies applying these methods.
This document reviews perspectives on microalgal CO2 emission mitigation systems. It discusses how microalgae can be used to effectively fix carbon through photosynthesis. The key points covered include the advantages of using microalgae over other approaches, factors that influence microalgal CO2 fixation rates, different photobioreactor designs for cultivation, downstream processing methods, and high and low value end products from microalgal biomass. The document concludes that microalgal biofixation of CO2 is a promising alternative to conventional sequestration but requires further research to optimize photobioreactor design and downstream applications.

La Unión Europea ha acordado un embargo petrolero contra Rusia en respuesta a la invasión de Ucrania. El embargo prohibirá la mayoría de las importaciones de petróleo ruso a la UE y se implementará de manera gradual durante los próximos seis meses. Algunos países de la UE aún dependen en gran medida del petróleo ruso y buscarán exenciones temporales al embargo.
The document discusses how LinkedIn can benefit college students in their job search. It provides tips for how students should use LinkedIn, including completing their profile with relevant experience, setting up job email alerts, growing their connections, participating in groups relevant to their field, researching companies, sharing updates, asking and answering questions, and getting recommendations. The goal is for students to increase their visibility to employers and learn skills to improve their employability.
1. The document presents a model predictive framework for planning and scheduling problems in supply chain management.
2. The framework involves a forecasting model that calculates target inventory levels to meet customer service goals while minimizing costs, and an optimization model that schedules tasks to achieve those targets despite uncertainties.
3. The framework is applied as a case study to consumer goods supply chains, addressing coordination between production and demand units under different organizational structures like centralized versus decentralized control.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
The adjusted flow matrix is obtained as:
F = [[0, 40, 490, 250, 180],
[40, 0, 70, 200, 120],
[490, 70, 0, 280, 210],
[250, 200, 280, 0, 150],
[180, 120, 210, 150, 0]]
The heuristic algorithm provides the following sequence:
3 - 1 - 4 - 2 - 5
Hence, the recommended linear single row layout is:
3 1 4 2 5
This minimizes the total material handling cost by placing machines with highest flow between them closest. The clearance between machines must also be ensured as per the data provided.
