Up until the recent crisis, the Southeast Asian region had been regarded as one of the most dynamic regions in the global economy. Their industrial structures have undergone a process of adjustment into more capital-intensive and technologically sophisticated manufacturing sectors. These adjustments created intra-regional flows of foreign direct investment (FDI) followed by the expansion of cap...

The onset of globalization and increased regional economic integration has presented new challenges as well as opportunities for SMEs in East Asia. Despite the many barriers and capacity constraints they face arising from their relatively small size, they remain a vibrant and essential ingredient for the economic growth and employment generation of the regional economy. To survive in an increas...

Left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). The mechanisms leading to LV dyssynchrony are not fully elucidated. This study evaluates whether myocardium regional variation in interstitial fibrosis is associated with LV dyssynchrony. Forty-two patients with systolic heart failure (SHF), 76 patients with heart failure with preserved eje...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the inter- and intrapatient variability of positron emission tomography (PET) measurements of perfusion in advanced solid cancers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Thirty-seven patients with predominantly intra-abdominal tumors underwent PET imaging using inhaled C15O2. Repeat data were obtained by scanning five patients twice, 1 week apart, with no intervening...

Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) is the most prevalent gynecological problem. Many key brain systems are engaged in pain processing. In light of dynamic communication within and between systems (or networks) in shaping pain experience and behavior, the intra-regional functional connectivity (FC) in the hub regions of the systems may be altered and the functional interactions in terms of inter-regiona...

Working Papers are produced in order to bring the results of research in progress to a wider audience and to facilitate discussion. They will normally be published in a revised form subsequently and the agreement of the authors should be obtained before referring to its contents in other published works. Abstract In this paper we explore the factors which determine the profile of innovation by ...

In this study, we apply the inter-regional input–output model to explain the relationship between China’s inter-regional spillover of CO2 emissions and domestic supply chains for 2002 and 2007. Based on this model, we propose alternative indicators such as the trade in CO2 emissions, CO2 emissions in trade and the regional trade balances of CO2 emissions. Our results do not only reveal the natu...

the present study was designed to explore the anti-inflammatory effect of fluvoxamine, as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri) anti-depressant, on carrageenan-induced paw edema in more details. at first, fluvoxamine was administered intra-peritoneally (2.5, 12.5, 25 and 50 mg kg-1) 30 min before the subplantar injection of carrageenan. fluvoxamine was also injected intra-peritoneally...

This report describes the measurement of water preexchange lifetimes and intra/extracellular content in intact, functioning mammalian brain. Intra- and extracellular water magnetic resonance (MR) signals from rat brain in vivo were quantitatively resolved in the longitudinal relaxation domain following administration of an MR relaxation agent into the extracellular space. The estimated intracel...

Nations and territories in South Asia have been influenced by the covid-19 pandemic. The first Asian nation to report an affirmed case was Nepal India overwhelm China regarding number of Covid-19 cases. SAARC Intra-Regional Trade at that point drifting around extremely low level less than 5 percent, flare-up Covid-19, further intra-regional trade Asia. present study will examine India’s trend w...
