An Empirical Analysis of the Linder
This paper presents empirical evidence in support of the Linder theory of international trade for three of the South Asian countries, Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. This finding implies that these countries trade more intensively with countries of other regions, which may have similar per capita income levels, as predicted by Linder in his hypothesis. The contribution of this research is threefold: first, there is new information on the Linder hypothesis by focusing on South Asian countries; second, this is one of very few analyses to capture both time-series and cross-section elements of the trade relationship by employing a panel data set; third, the empirical methodology used in this analysis corrects a major shortcoming in the existing literature by using a censored dependent variable in estimation.
PHASE EQUILIBRIA AND MICROSTRUCTURAL EVOLUTION IN NI-CE EUTECTIC ALLOYS
The primary objective of this research is to comprehensively investigate the microstructural characteristics and mechanical performance of near eutectic Ni-Ce alloys, particularly under room and elevated temperature conditions. These alloys hold significant promise as candidates for high-temperature applications, an area traditionally dominated by Ni-based superalloys. The manufacturing of traditional superalloys is intricate, often leading to challenges in castability. This research strives to formulate a Ni-Ce alloy composition that not only exhibits solid solution and precipitation strengthening, resulting in exceptional microstructural and mechanical properties, but is also castable. Current studies have demonstrated that binary and ternary Ni-Ce alloys exhibit exceptional strength retention when exposed to elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the addition of elements such as Al, Nb, Ti and Cr has been prioritized, with a focus on their effects on microstructural characteristics. Al and Cr contribute to oxidation resistance, while Nb, Ti and Cr contribute to solid solution strengthening and thus further enhancing the mechanical and environmental properties of these alloys. Moreover, Al promotes γ’ precipitation in this system, while Ti works as precipitation enhancer. In this research, an in-depth understanding of the alterations in microstructure and mechanical behavior exhibited by binary and ternary Ni-Ce alloys with the incorporation of other potential alloying elements has been studied. Additionally, the study investigates the microstructural and mechanical property stability of these alloys during short and prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. This research has the potential to pave the way for the development of novel, high-performance Ni-Ce alloys suitable for demanding high-temperature applications
Towards Modeling Equal Humanity with Philanthropy and IT Constraints using Mathematical Utilities
In this research we present and analyzed the mathematical model for achieving equal humanity factor. The model revolves around human class, Information technology class and Philanthropy. The relative analysis of proposed mathematical model for humanity leads to expose several stable and unstable conditions of equal humanity. The presented model not only relies on Information technology constraint but also it is scalable enough to address equal humanity using any other constraint. During modeling and analysis we use basic set theories and logical operators

To Compare Blood Glucose Estimation Using the GOD-PAP Technique with the Hexokinase Method
Glucose is the major source of energy for all the processes working within the human body and hence it's the major carbohydrate required. During starvation or fasting, its concentration in blood is maintained by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis otherwise, a routine diet is sufficient for this task. Routine methods like glucose-oxidase coupled dehydrogenase are most commonly used on semiautomatic instruments with mono reagent. Hexokinase is the definite method to measure glucose concentration during different fed and fasting states but it requires an automated instrument and specific reagent which comparatively affects its cost

Role of radiosurgery In arteriovenous malformations
Background: Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) consist of an abnormal nidus of blood vessels that shunt blood directly from an artery to a vein and thereby bypass an intervening capillary bed. AVMs may be found as an incidental finding. They may be associated with intracranial haemorrhage, seizures, headaches or neurological deficits. There are different treatment options for AVM. These include observation, microsurgery, Stereotactic radio surgery (SRS), endovascular embolization and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Methods: Data was collected using searching engines like Pubmed, Google scholar, Embase, Cinahl and Medline. MeSH and Non-MeSH terms were used like Arterio-venous malformations, microsurgery, endovascular embolization.Results: Multiple interventional radiosurgical techniques have been introduced in recent years. The most effective and least risk-associated methods are Stereotactic radiosurgery, Microsurgery, Embolization and Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). However, the outcome of such treatment modalities depends upon Site of malformation, grade of AVM, patient\u27s age/gender, dose and volume of radiosurgery. Digital substraction angiography (DSA) and MR angiography (MRA) are most suitable methods for the follow-up of AVMs.Conclusions: Stereotactic radiosurgery is the most suitable technique for AVMs considering the good prognosis and the risks associated with this procedure. However, large AVMs require multidisciplinary approach for better results

Gynecologic radiology in fertility treatment: assessing tubal patency and ovarian reserve
Background: A tubal patency test is a medical procedure that can help determine if a woman is having trouble conceiving due to blocked fallopian tubes. Fallopian tubal pathology is a primary risk factor for female infertility. Ovarian reserve is the number of healthy eggs in a woman's ovaries, and it’s a measure of the ability to have children. This study aimed to assess tubal patency and ovarian reserve in fertility treatment.
Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, 75 women aged 18-40, treated from January to December 2023, were included. Fallopian tube patency was tested using hysterosalpingography, hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography, or laparoscopic chromopertubation.
Results: Of 75 women, 19 (25.5%) were found to have at least one blocked fallopian tube. Unilateral blockage was more common than bilateral blockage, occurring in 12 out of the 19 cases (63.2%) compared to 7 out of 19 cases (36.8%). Mainly, blockages occurred near the opening of the fallopian tubes 86.2%. After adjusting for other factors, the presence of hydrosalpinx (odds ratio, OR, 13.323, 95% confidence interval, CI: 2.679-66.253, p=0.002) and myomas (OR 2.108, 95%CI: 1.008-4.409; p=0.048) were statistically significant factors associated with fallopian tube blockage.
Conclusions: Gynecologic radiology is still of major relevance in fertility evaluation. The presence of uterine myomas and hydrosalpinges significantly increases the risk
