    This paper examines the origins of the global crisis, the impact of the crisis and the different capsules taken to address the crisis. Using daily data from mid-July 2002 to mid-July 2012 for five groups of economies, our estimation is based on BEKK diagonal GARCH. We augmented two dummy variables to represent the U.S. financial crisis and the debt crisis of Greece. We find that the U.S crisis has insignificant impact on the mean returns of all the economies except the African economies. The U.S. financial crisis, however, has positive and significant impact on the stock volatilities of all the groups except the African economies. The debt crisis of Greece, on the other hand, has negative and significant impact on the mean returns of the European and Latin American economies. Its impact on the stock volatilities, however, is positive and significant in all the economies except the African economies. In examining the origins of the crisis, we identify that excessive reliance of the U.S. economy on the credit system and on the stock market together with historic negligence of the production sector and inadequate regulation are some causative factors

    Ever since the discovery by the Fermi mission that active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce copious amounts of high-energy emission, its origin has remained elusive. Using high-frequency radio interferometry (VLBI) polarization imaging, we could probe the magnetic field topology of the compact high-energy emission regions in blazars. A case study for the blazar 3C 279 reveals the presence of multiple g -ray emission regions. Pass 8 Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) data are used to investigate the flux variations in the GeV regime; six g -ray flares were observed in the source during November 2013 to August 2014. We use the 43 GHz VLBI data to study the morphological changes in the jet. Ejection of a new component (NC2) during the first three g -ray flares suggests the VLBI core as the possible site of the high-energy emission. A delay between the last three flares and the ejection of a new component (NC3) indicates that highenergy emission in this case is located upstream of the 43 GHz core (closer to the black hole).Accepted manuscrip

    Strengthening Of Mechanical Properties Of Engineered Cementitious Composites By Addition Of Fibres

    Cementitious Composite (CC) is a mixture of several materials that, when combined, create a composite that aids in the bonding of different structural components. The building sector has continued to employ this combination since ancient times. As CC is essential to the structural integrity of buildings, we sought to adjust the mix in this work to provide better outcomes for the composite. Whether it be masonry, concrete, or another component, the presence of CC increases a building's capacity by ensuring effective bonding between two structural materials in the form of a connection. Therefore, a suitable CC is required for the building. Failure may also occur in the connection, failure in the bonding of two sections, failure in a structural component, etc., since failure in the structure often comes from the CC. The made Designed Cementitious Composite (ECC), which we found to have better flexibility and more grounded strength at a less expensive expense and diminished fossil fuel byproduct, is the subject of this paper's conversation. Thusly, the designs would be better prepared to endure parallel shocks welcomed on by seismic anxieties. Since its commencement in the mid 1990s, this article has analyzed the innovative work of Designed Cementitious Composites (ECC) during the most recent decade. In the materials configuration approach, the meaning of micromechanics is worried. A variety of theoretical and experimental studies are used to examine observations of distinctive ECC characteristics

    A Hypertuned Pipeline Vector Using Meta Classifier Technique for Feature Selection in Multi Disease Prediction

    Automation of health sector plays a very important role especially during this pandemic due to the side effects of either vaccination or attack of the COVID. Most of the researchers designed a system to predict whether a person suffers from a particular disease or not. Few researchers worked on prediction variants of a single disease based on symptoms but due to this COVID-19, different people are getting attacked with different diseases as a side effect. This proposed system aims to identify the multiple diseases that a person may suffer from based on the symptoms. In this paper, the dataset obtained from the open access repository “Kaggle” contains 17 symptoms combinations to identify the one of the 41 types of diseases as class label. All the symptoms may not be important for identification, so in this model, the important features are identified using the pipeline vector of different Machine Learning approaches are passed as base line classifier and decision tree classifier as meta line to the elimination function. The model has got “99.48%” accuracy for selecting the essential features using bagging and boosting algorithms

    Tamil is the first language of human civilization. Among the languages of the world, Tamil language occupies a prime position and has its own uniqueness. Tamil language is considered to be the whole history of Tamils. In each period, different literatures appeared and illuminated Tamil. Literature renews itself from time to time. Various literatures appear as they evolve from one to the other. The charity of the Tamil artists who helped the development of these animals is commendable. Through his works, the creators have volunteered to build a new society where social evils have disappeared and been revived. Short stories have been widely read and researched in twentieth-century Tamil literature. The short story creator K. Alagirisamy stands for femininity and knows the problems of women and expresses them in his short stories. The research summary of this article is to explore and bring out the feminist ideas expressed in this way

    A successful pregnancy outcome: post bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy

    A 30 year old nulliparous woman, married for 7 years presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain since a year. Her menstrual history has been regular, associated with dysmenorrhea. She gave a past surgical history of right ovarian cystectomy in view of chocolate cyst noted on diagnostic laparoscopy. Investigations revealed a bilateral complex ovarian cyst and an elevated Ca-125 of 100 units/ml, proceeded with bilateral salphingo-oopherectomy as grade IV endometrioma of both ovaries with frozen pelvis noted. Later, she resumed her menstrual cycles with exogenous estrogen and progesterone. She conceived following a donor oocyte frozen embryo transfer and she delivered a healthy 2.74 kg girl baby with a good Apgar score

    Marine Fishery Development and Climate Change

    Marine fisheries have very important roles for food supply, food security and income generation in India. About one million people work directly in this sector, producing 3.1 million tonnes annually. The value of the marine fish landings have been estimated at Rs. 36,964 crores in 2010 and India has earned a foreign exchange of Rs. 10,000 crores through the export of 6 lakh tonnes of sea food products. The fisheries sector, presently contributes around one percent to the GDP and 4.72 percent to Agricultural GDP of our country (Sathiadhas et al., 2012). Being open access to a large extent, there is intense competition among the stakeholders with varied interests to share the limited resources in the coastal waters, which has resulted in overfishing and decline in stocks of a few species. Climate change renders severity to this situation and act as a dispensatory factor on fish populations. Further, it will also have strong impact on fisheries with far-reaching consequences for food and livelihood security of a sizeable section of the population

    Endocrine resistance in hormone receptor positive breast cancer–from mechanism to therapy

    Get PDF
    The importance and role of the estrogen receptor (ER) pathway has been well-documented in both breast cancer (BC) development and progression. The treatment of choice in women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is classically divided into a variety of endocrine therapies, 3 of the most common being: selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM), aromatase inhibitors (AI) and selective estrogen receptor down-regulators (SERD). In a proportion of patients, resistance develops to endocrine therapy due to a sophisticated and at times redundant interference, at the molecular level between the ER and growth factor. The progression to endocrine resistance is considered to be a gradual, step-wise process. Several mechanisms have been proposed but thus far none of them can be defined as the complete explanation behind the phenomenon of endocrine resistance. Although multiple cellular, molecular and immune mechanisms have been and are being extensively studied, their individual roles are often poorly understood. In this review, we summarize current progress in our understanding of ER biology and the molecular mechanisms that predispose and determine endocrine resistance in breast cancer patients
