Abstract

The trade agreement in goods between India and ASEAN became operational in January, 2010. The paper attempts an enquiry into the Tariff concession given to India by the ASEAN countries in the electrical goods sector and also attempts to identify product lines at HS 4 levels sub segments in the same where there could be possibility for the exports to increase due to tariff cuts in the significant product categories as the two regions become more important trading partners in times to come. The paper will also give an overview of the tariff cuts in the identified tariff lines given by the ASEAN nations to India.

Abstract

Context: The unique position, shape and structure of the lower jaw lead to its high incidence of fracture. The mandible is a membranous long bone bent to a horse shoe shape. Even though it is very strong, its prominent position on the face makes it vulnerable to fracture. The fracture can occur in different parts of the bone, sometimes at multiple sites too, depending upon the nature of the impact. Aim and Setting and Design: The purpose of this study is to determine the etiology, pattern and distribution of mandibular fractures in a Government Medical College at Ranchi, Jharkhand. Methods and Materials: The study was carried out in the dental OPD of a Government Medical College at Ranchi, Jharkhand from June 2013 to November 2014. All patients who were clinically and radio graphically confirmed fracture mandible were examined and all demographic variables (age, gender, place, education, occupation, tobacco habit and duration of habit) were recorded. The pattern and cause of mandibular fracture were included and sites were classified accordingly as ramus, condyle, symphysis, body, parasymphysis and angle. Statistical Analysis: Simple descriptive statistics were employed for the analysis. Results and Conclusion: The present study concluded Road Traffic Accidents as the most common cause for mandibular fractures. Also, parasymphyseal fracture was the commonest unilateral and parasymphysis and condyle as commonest combined fracture of the mandible..

Abstract

ASEAN’s trade with India is only about 2.8 per cent of its global trade whereas it contributes to about 9 per cent of India's global trade. This paper identifies and discusses that ample trade prospects exist in for India to increase its exports and develop value additions in its trade with ASEAN nations and trade block. Amidst the challenges that lie in a more liberalized environment of trade in goods for India with ASEAN, India can harness trade prospects in textile and clothing trade to ASEAN nations, enhancing its export markets and reducing its dependence on nations of US and Europe which are now coming up with restrictive trade policies. This will further reduce both regions' dependency on China.

Abstract

A rough surface of any engineering material exhibits high surface energy which results in higher potential energy or cohesive energy of the material, and it affects both optical as well as chemical properties. In this paper, stainless steel 304 (or SS304) is selected for nano-finishing through diamond abrasive using MD simulations. It is found that the diamond abrasive creates new bonds with Cr and Fe atoms by rise in local temperature and stresses. Moreover, Ni atom diffuses inside the abrasive as it does not chemically bond with C atom. The abrasion on steel due to diamond also leads to phase transformation on both abrasive as well as the workpiece. Subsequently, the transformed phase is removed from the workpiece due to the newly formed chemical bonds, however, in the process, the abrasive particle deteriorates by phase transformation and materials loading. Thus, the present study is useful in optimising nano-finishing or nano-cutting process on stainless steel.
