" International integration is a process by which countries remove the barriers to free trade and the free movement of people across national borders, with the goal of reducing the tensions that can lead to international conflict " .

The paper focuses on regional trade agreements and economic co-operation and develops a new appropriate approach to study their impact on growth and trade. The approach is based on an endogenous trade-growth theory and novelly specified in an economic integration (expenditure) framework which is the conceptual foundation of regional trade agreements. Importantly, it also appropriately takes int...

The contribution of this paper is two-fold; first, we present a novel approach for sampling and reconstructing two dimensional signals with parametric structure or namely signals with Finite Rate of Innovation (FRI). The considered signals are bi-level polygons and set of 2-D Diracs and it will be shown that with the use of ACMP method, projection-slice theorem, Radon projections and exponentia...

Gaussian network model (GNM) is one of the most accurate and efficient methods for biomolecular flexibility analysis. However, the systematic generalization of the GNM has been elusive. We show that the GNM Kirchhoff matrix can be built from the ideal low-pass filter, which is a special case of a wide class of correlation functions underpinning the linear scaling flexibility-rigidity index (FRI...

In this paper, we study the evolution of a Finitary Random Interlacement (FRI) with respect to expected length each fiber. contrast previously proved phase transition between sufficiently large and small fiber length, for all d≥3, FRI is NOT stochastically monotone as increases. At same time, numerical evidence still strongly supports existence uniqueness critical which estimated theoretically ...

Utilizing the agglomeration growth theory in the regional economy development theory, this article observes and analyzes the general connotation, economic meaning, regional influence and local countermeasures for the regional economic integration in Shan’xi provincial Xi’an city and Xianyang city which are located in the western economic region of China from different views, and through the obs...

The empirical literature offers regional integration arrangements reduce trade costs among partner countries this reduction in cost not only increase trade but also act as a stimulus to increase FDI flow. South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) was established in 8 December 1985 with the seven South Asian countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri L...

Gastrointestinal diseases Urticaria Summary References January 1997 Update to Helicobacter pylori Briefing Gastrointestinal diseases Ulcer treatment has been revolutionized by recently discovered knowledge about Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria were originally thought to be a species of Campylobacter, but a later, more thorough ...

The continuing saga of foodborne disease outbreaks as reported in scientific publications and the popular press has raised consumer anxiety about foodborne illness and revitalized interest in irradiation as a method for eliminating or reducing foodborne pathogens.In addition to the well-known problems of salmonellae on poultry products, E. coli O157:H7 in hamburger, and, most recently, Listeria...
