Abstract

Diffusion treatments may comprise the diffusion of interstitial elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, or boron into the surface from a gaseous or molten salt bath environment, or less commonly it may consist of substitutional diffusion of a previously deposited metal coating or by packing in materials such as ferromanganese or chromium with suitable additives.

Abstract

Titanium has certain properties that make it an ideal material to prevent wear; titanium alloys lend themselves to a versatility of mechanical properties by heat treatment. This should provide a sound tribological combination but, unfortunately, these materials can cause serious galling and fretting. The authors describe the properties of titanium and its alloys, methods of forming and lubricating them and possible methods of combatting wear. In the second part, in our next issue, they will deal with diffusion, electrodeposition, electroless deposition of metallic coatings, and other ways of preventing fretting. In both parts an extensive review of published literature is made and all bibliographical references will be included in our next issue.

Abstract

The institution of an annual series devoted to current and ongoing research in economics and business should be considered one of the notable developments during the period under review. Long standing need for such a reference not withstanding, there has been until this year no systematic attempt to organize a continuing series which concentrated on selected areas of ongoing research, especially adapted to the Jahrbucher format. By facilitating the publication of research papers which are longer than the conventional journal‐length article yet shorter than a monograph, publishing outlets available to scholars in the field have been infinitely expanded. Two years ago, the Royal Economic Society and the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, developed an experimental series, published by Macmillan, entitled Surveys of Applied Economics. The JAI Press, Greenwich, Conn., has now come out with an annual series, which is expected to fill the gaps in at least seventeen areas of economic theory and business. These are briefly listed below, with pertinent bibliographical citations: Research in Economic Anthropology: An Annual Compilation of Research. Series editor, George Dalton. vol. 1.

Abstract

Internal auditors have an important role in communicating the threat posed by the spread of computer viruses and advising on appropriate control strategies. Computer virus is defined, distinguishing between “true” viruses and other rogue software like logic bombs, Trojan horses and worms. Some reported incidents are discussed; the application of risk management as an effective approach is considered. Control techniques are listed under the categories: organisational, software and hardware. How epidemiological analogy can be applied in high risk situations is explored through a system infection control programme under the direction of a system infection control committee.

Abstract

Explores the issues which concerned auditing practitioners more than 100 years ago and reexamines them in the present day context. These issues include: the role and scope of the audit, audit independence, the auditor’s report, competition between auditors, litigation against auditors, and governance and regulation of the profession. Many of these concerns remain unresolved. Develops an historical perspective which helps to explain the endurance of these issues and informs policy makers in their endeavour to devise permanent solutions. Examines the determination of the profession′s early leaders to discuss the problem and publicly notes the contrast with the deafening silence emanating from their counterparts today.
