This thesis addresses the statistical properties of dynamical systems that admit an induced Weak Gibbs Markov map (not necessarily full branch). More precisely, it provides estimates on the decay of correlations, a Central Limit Theorem and Large Deviations results for such dynamical systems. These estimates for the decay of correlations and the Central Limit Theorem are obtained for H¨older observables as well...
In this study, an artificial intelligence tool called gene expression programming (GEP) has been successfully applied to develop an empirical model that can predict the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. The proposed genetic model incorporates all the influencing parameters such as the geometric properties of the beam, the concrete compressive strength, the shear span-to-depth ratio, and t...
Purpose: Since 1990s, the discussion on whether mutual funds can perform better and persistently as compare to market has become an ongoing issue. Current research investigates the performance persistence of equity mutual funds’, particularly in the financial market of Bangladesh.Theoretical Framework: Different researchers have strived to examine the performance of mutual funds by using numerous performance in...

It is understood that drugs regardless of their order of administration can exhibit drug interactions. Established on the fact that treatment of hypertension may last for decades and prolong usage of multiple drug regimen may induce substantial pathophysiological changes. Hence, This study was designed to evaluate the possible synergistic toxic effects of anti-hypertensive (carvedilol), and anti-inflammatory dr...
