Authors: A.J. Kevorkova 
Published: February 2018

Today managers and end beneficiaries of economic actors invent new ways of distorting the information provided in the accounting and financial reporting, which jeopardizes the safety of assets and investments. Because motivation determines the distortion methods targeting fraudulent action, the objective of any regulatory bodies becomes a proper, rational and efficient use of appropriate tools and methodologies of detection of distortion in accounting and financial reporting. The author attempts to systematize and generalize the existing instruments, identifying their strengths and weaknesses for the formation of informational-analytical systems of economic security organizations and based on them to develop methodology of distortion detection subsystem data and indicators of economic information. In this regard, questions about tools to identify such distortions are relevant and will be revealed in this article.

Authors: Sutrisno Hari 
Published: February 2018

<p>Study of the theoretical approah to calculate the band structure and density of states (DOS) of vanadium-doped TiO<sub>2</sub> of both anatase and rutile have been done. The first-principle calculations were done using supercell (2x1x1) method. The first-principle calculation of V-doped TiO<sub>2</sub> of both anatase and rutile were analyzed by density-functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation from Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (GGA+PBE), Perdew-Wang’s 1991 (GGA+PW91) and local density approximation (LDA) for exchange-correlation functionals. The calculation of electronic structures show that the V-doped TiO<sub>2</sub>-anatase with high concentration (7.93 %) in 24 atoms are direct- and indirect-gap semiconductor, whereas the V-doped TiO<sub>2</sub>-rutile with high concentration (15.79 %) in 12 atoms is direct-gap semiconductor. The V-doped TiO<sub>2</sub> of both anatase and rutile produce the intermediate bands in the upper states. Ihe V-doped anatase produces intermediate band, which is 2.05, 2.04, 2.06 eV above the valence band for GGA+PBE, GGA+PW91 and LDA, respectively. Meanwhile the V-doped rutile producesintermediate band, which is 1.76, 1.82, 1.74 eV above the valence band for GGA+PBE, GGA+PW91 and LDA, respectively.</p>
Plunger Lift Application in Wells With Set Packers or Permanent Tubing
Authors: Darden D. Patrick 
Published: February 2018

E&P Exchange
Plunger lift is an artificial-lift method that uses energy from a well's own gas to lift accumulated fluids in the wellbore. The plunger acts as a mechanical interface between the gas and liquid in a well, with the gas forcing the plunger up the tubing, thus displacing the fluid above it. Plunger lift is successful primarily in high-gas/liquid-ratio oil and gas wells for constant liquid removal.
Low bottomhole pressure from natural depletion normally causes fluid accumulation in the bottom of a well as the flowing velocity slows. Through intermittent pressure buildups and the use of bottomhole tools, the load can be delivered to the surface in a slug for a clean wellbore operation. This allows maximum production and more drawdown than natural flow, extending the life of the well.
The various well conditions encountered when plunger lift is installed are somewhat similar, but each well's recovery, gas volume, and fluid load determine the proper equipment arrangement and the technique to be applied. Flexibility to adapt the plunger lift to the well conditions is a very important key to success.
To determine whether a well is a good candidate for a plunger lift installation, a simple formula can be used. A minimum of 500 scf of gas per barrel of fluid per 1,000 ft depth is required for plunger lift to work. If this requirement is met, the well should have enough gas production and reservoir energy to lift the plunger and the fluids accumulated in the bottom of the well.
Conventional use of plunger lift is in wells with an annulus that is open or in communication with the pay zone. The casing or annulus is used to store gas during the shut-in period. When the well is opened at the surface, the stored gas rises up the tubing, driving the plunger up the tubing, and delivering the well's fluid and gas to the surface. Until recently, the use of plunger lift in wells with set packers or permanent tubing was very uncommon.

Cowpea cropping after soybean is increasing in the Cerrado region of Brazil and can benefit from BNF.Soybean bradyrhizobia can abundantly nodulate cowpea but are often inefficient.Inoculated elite cowpea Bradyrhizobium strains increased grain yields.Nitrogen fixation inputs were increased by inoculation with selected cowpea bradyrhizobia.Nitrogen‐15 natural abundance showed inoculation increased N2 fixation by over 25 kg N ha–1 crop–1.
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.) is increasingly planted as a second season crop after soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the Brazilian Cerrado region. Experiments were conducted at Sinop and Primavera do Leste in Mato Grosso State to investigate the impact of cowpea inoculation with recommended rhizobium strains on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and grain yield. Plants were either non‐inoculated, with or without 70 kg N fertilizer ha−, or inoculated with five rhizobium strains, separately or as a mixture. Nodulation and shoot dry matter (DM) were evaluated at 35 d after emergence (DAE). Dry matter and N accumulation were evaluated and BNF contributions quantified using 15N natural abundance at 50 DAE. Nodule number and dry weight were high regardless of inoculation treatment. However, several of the inoculation treatments at Sinop and Primavera do Leste promoted significant increases in total N at 50 DAE. At both sites, the 15N abundance results indicated that inoculation significantly increased BNF contributions from 36 to 64 kg ha− at Sinop and from 48 to 75 kg N ha− at Primavera. Grain yield was significantly increased from approximately 1200 to 1500 kg ha− by strains BR 3262 and INPA 03‐11B at the Primavera do Leste, and from approximately 850 to 1400 kg ha− by strain BR 3262 at Sinop. The results indicate inoculation of cowpea with elite rhizobium strains can increase BNF contributions and grain yields in the Brazilian Cerrado region, even when there are abundant populations of soybean rhizobium present in the soil.
