China’s Economic Performance (2020–2024): A Sectoral Index Analysis
Abstract: This study applies Laspeyres, Paasche, and Fisher ideal indices to China’s official 2020–2024 price and quantity data, quantifying sectoral inflation and real growth in agriculture, manufacturing, services, exports, and investment. Results show manufacturing experienced mild deflation (Laspeyres ≈ 98.7, implying ≈ 1.3% overall price decline) with a slight real output drop (~6.1%). A key driver was a sharp 21.4% fall in electric vehicle unit prices, despite +523% volume growth. Services …

Structure-Property Correlation in PTT/PP Blends with Improved Mechanical Performance
Abstract: The present work investigates a series of poly (trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/polypropylene (PP) blends prepared with varying PP concentrations in order to improve the overall performance of PTT, particularly with respect to mechanical properties and processability. PTT is a promising engineering thermoplastic owing to its balanced stiffness, resilience, and chemical resistance; however, its relatively high cost and processing limitations often restrict its wider application. In this context, blending with PP offers …

An IOT Based Smart S.O.S. Wristband for Women Safety
Abstract: Violence against women in India is actually more present than it may appear at first glance, as many expressions of violence are not considered crimes, or may otherwise go unreported or undocumented due to certain Indian cultural values and beliefs. These reasons all contribute to India's Gender Inequality Index rating of 0.524 in 2017, putting it in the bottom 20% of ranked countries for that year. This paper introduces an …

Comparative Analysis of Power Penalty versus Crosstalk in Optical Active Network Components like Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier, Raman Amplifier and Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
Abstract: AbstractOptical amplifiers boost the power of optical system without optoelectronics (O-E-O) conversion. The optical amplification process is accompanied by Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) noise that accumulates along the transmission line and degrades the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR). Intensity modulation in one channel causes crosstalk in the other channel via the change of the complex refractive index in the amplifier. In this paper, authors tried to calculate and compare …
