Capital Inflows, Inflation and Exchange Rate Volatility : An Investigation for Linear and Nonlinear Causal Linkages
No full textSince the early 1990s, there is an upsurge in foreign capital flows to developing economies, particularly into emerging markets. One view argues that capital inflows do help to increase efficiency, a better allocation of capital and to fill up the investment-saving gap. Adherents to that view advise countries to launch capital account liberalisation. In this study, we investigate the effects of capital inflows on domestic price level, monetary expansion and exchange rate volatility. To proceed with this, linear and nonlinear cointegration and Granger causality tests are applied in a bi-variate as well as in multivariate framework. The key message of the analysis is that there is a significant inflationary impact of capital inflows, in particular during the last 7 years. The finding suggest that there is a need to manage the capital inflows in such a way that they should neither create an inflationary pressure in the economy nor fuel the exchange rate volatility.Capital Inflows, Inflationary Pressures, exchange rate volatility, Monetary Expansion, Nonlinear Dynamics

Synthesization, Characterization and Application of Nano-Particles Ferric Oxide in Sodium Sulfide Oxidation
No full textSulfides usually found in the wastewater produced by chemical and petrochemical
industries such as tanneries, refineries, polymer industries. Removing sulfides from the
wastewater is currently a big challenge to the industries because sulfides are soluble in
water and various research and technologies have been studied and developed in order to
remove sulfides content. In this project, the author is focusing on removing sulfides
through oxidation process by using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent with the
presence of nano-particles ferric oxide as a catalyst. Nano-materials are increasingly
gaining the attention of the scientific community and also public due to their various
applications in the industries for example as a catalyst. In this project, author will
developed the procedure in preparing ferric oxide nano-particle as a catalyst and the
application of it in sodium sulfide oxidation process. Basically three stages are involved,
the synthesization, characterization and application. In application stage, the author will
study two parameters of the oxidation rate that is catalyst loading and sulfide
concentration. The effect of these parameters will be study by varying the variables for
these parameters. The results shows that after the more catalyst added, the oxidation
process increase by time and removal of sulfide can be achieve faster. The objectives
for this project are to successfully produce nano-particle ferric oxide as catalyst and to
apply it in the sulfide oxidation process.

EFFECTS OF f(R) DARK ENERGY ON DISSIPATIVE ANISOTROPIC COLLAPSING FLUID
No full text The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of dark energy on dynamics of the collapsing fluid within the framework of metric f(R) gravity. The fluid distribution is assumed to be locally anisotropic and undergoing dissipation in the form of heat flow, null radiations and shear viscosity. For this purpose, we take general spherical symmetric spacetime. Dynamical equations are obtained and also some special solutions are found by considering shearing expansion-free evolution of the fluid. It is found that dark energy affects the mass of the collapsing matter and rate of collapse but does not affect the hydrostatic equilibrium. </jats:p

Building a road to nuclear disarmament bridging the gap between competing approaches
No full textIntroduction -- Nuclear disarmament: Tracing lessons from history -- Competing approaches: Identifying the gaps -- Contemporary security environment, new technologies and nuclear disarmament -- Bridging the gap: Creating a new security environment for nuclear disarmament -- Conclusion"This book focuses on comprehending the contemporary global security environment, creating a new roadmap for nuclear disarmament by creating a balance between deterrence supporters and disarmament advocators. The author identifies the divide between competing approaches such as traditional security-centric aspects and humanity-centered disarmament perspectives, tackling the complex question of how to balance some states' requirements for effective nuclear deterrence with other states' long-term desire for a nuclear-free world. The book explores how new technologies such as cyber and AI advances are available to more countries than nuclear technology, and could level the playing field for weaker nuclear weapons states. It also looks into the issues which continue to be obstacles in the way of convincing the nuclear weapon states (NWS) on nuclear disarmament. The author argues that the gap between deterrence supporters and disarmament advocators can be filled by creating a new environment for renewed consensus on achieving a world free of nuclear weapons. This book provides a deeper understanding and critical analysis of how global evolving parallel traditional security and normative trends relating to nuclear weapons can be bridged in order to make the disarmament debate practically achievable. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars, researchers, policy makers, NGOs and members of the diplomatic community, in the fields of security studies, strategic studies and nuclear polic
