India - Pakistan Trade
Quantitative studies estimate that potential two way trade between India and Pakistan can be about 10 times than its rather unsatisfactory current level of $ 613 million. Moving towards realizing this trade potential is clearly in the interest of both countries and the region. In this context this study identifies areas of trade and investment co-operation between the two countries. On the basis of a survey conducted in three cities viz., Delhi, Mumbai and Amritsar the paper examines the characteristics of firms engaged in Indo-Pakistan trade. It also estimates existing transport arrangement between the two countries and the impact of all extant non-tariff barriers. The study suggests that the most important step towards enhancing trade would be to adopt the MFN principle as the current policy inhibits trade, lacks transparency and leads to high transaction costs. The study finds that transportation links between the two countries are inadequate and suggests that new rail and road links should be opened. Transaction costs of trading between India and Pakistan are high and can be lowered by implementing some rather simple policy measures that are spelled out in the paper. The study also examines recent developments in BIMSTEC, ASEAN and in Indo-Sri Lanka and Indo-Nepal trade agreements, and draws lessons to enhance Indo-Pakistan trade.South Asia, India-Pakistan trade, commercial policy, MFN

Study of rare semileptonic decay in the light-cone quark model
We study the exclusive semileptonic rare decay
in the framework of light-cone quark model. The transition form factors
and are evaluated in the time-like region using the
analytic continuation method in frame. The analytic solutions of
these form factors are compared with the results obtained from the double pole
parametric form. The branching ratio for decay is
calculated and compared with the other theoretical model predictions. The
predicted results in this model can be tested at the LHCb experiments in near
future which will help in testing the unitarity of CKM quark mixing matrix,
thus, providing an insight into the phenomenon of CP violation.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

Understanding Behaviors of Attendance in Supplemental Instruction and Subsequent Academic Success in a First Year Engineering Course
As student retention and four-year graduation rates are
of institutional and national interest and frequently referred
metrics for college success, the Supplemental Instruction
(SI) program aims to reduce D’s, F’s and Q drop rates in
historically difficult classes. Although previous work done
by this group revealed that attending SI sessions for a firstyear
course (Introduction to Electrical Engineering)
positively impacted exam scores and subsequent course
grades [1], the program continues to experience low
participation rates. Emerging questions of student
behaviors in relation to attendance at SI sessions are
addressed in this article.
The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach,
incorporating quantitative data relating to grades and
attendance with qualitative data relating to student
awareness, use and perceptions about SI. These analyses
serve to gain an understanding of the effects of SI and
identify components of the program that students value.
Quantitative data was collected in the form of session
attendance logs, grade data, and student demographics.
Qualitative data was collected in the form of pre- and postsurveys
administered during the third and final week of the
semester.Cockrell School of Engineerin
