Abstract : The rate at which COVID-19 has rapidly been spreading has made every sector of human life to feel its impact immediately. Like adults, children are also suffering heavily since the outbreak of Covid-19. The education institutes in most parts of the world have been closed since last week of March, 2020. When the school break became longer, new online learning policies were taken and most of the students around the globe started to attend online classes. Children have started to…
Dimension Reduction Using Supervised LDA and Unsupervised PCA and 3D CNN for Classification of Hyperspectral Image

Abstract : Hyperspectral Image (HSI) classification is becoming extremely appealing now-a-days because it contains huge information about a scene. The main problem of dealing with hyperspectral image is “Hughes Phenomenon” caused by the large number of dimensions. To address this, dimensionality reduction techniques need to be applied as a preprocessing step. In this paper, we used supervised LDA and unsupervised PCA for dimension reduction. Then for classification we used 3D CNN. Performance of classification depends on both spatial and spectral information for…

Abstract :
As the world population is growing fast, the demand for electricity in our daily life is also increasing rapidly. To meet the high demand and fight against global warming worldwide, use of renewable energy sources seems the inevitable choice. In the last few decades, the use of renewable energy has increased immensely. Our country is not an exception to that. Though the government has taken many initiatives to send electricity to the most remote corners of the country, yet due…
Effect of Blanching Pre-Treatment and Drying Temperature on Drying Kinetics and Quality Characteristics of Mango Peel Powder
Corresponding Author : M.S. Hossain (sajjad.bau@gmail.com)
Abstract : <p>Mango is a seasonal nutritious fruit as it generates mango peel as a byproduct from the mango processing industries in a huge amount. The effect of pretreatment (hot water blanching & steam blanching) and drying temperatures (60°C, 65°C, 70°C) by convective drying on drying kinetics of mango peel and sensory properties of dried mango peel powder (MPP) were evaluated. Increasing Drying rate and decreasing drying time were observed by increasing the drying temperature. The maximum drying rate was observed for…
Conductive Polypyrrole Composite: Preparation and Characterization
Corresponding Author : Md Mostafizur Rahman (mostafizur.cep@gmail.com)
Abstract :
This study highlights on synthesis of conductive polypyrrole (PPy) composites and application in the development of supercapacitor. PPy was synthesized using FeCl, as an oxidant in aqueous medium. Polypyrrole composite were synthesized with ZnSO,, NiCl,, MgCl,, Cuci, Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate (DBŞNa) in various compositions. The experimental result showed that the polypyrrole composite exhibited higher electrical conductivity compared to polypyrrole. Among Polypyrrole composite containing different inorganic and organic salts, DBSNa-PPy composite showed the highest electrical conductivity of 25 S/cm and capacitance…

Abstract : Replacing fossil fuel based energy by renewable energy is a crying need of the present world. Solar energy is one of the most popular and important sources of renewable energy. The geographical position and climatic conditions of Bangladesh are favorable for solar energy. The diurnal variation of solar irradiance is an important issue for all solar PV installations. In this research work, the solar irradiance at different tilting angles was measured during the sunshine hour. The daily data collection is…
Evaluation of a Sustainable Effluent Treatment Plant for Textile Industries
Corresponding Author : Muhammad Abdus Samad (samad-ipe@sust.edu)
Abstract :
Textile industries in Bangladesh produce a great amount of effluents, as a byproduct. Despite many regulations set by the DoE to make sure that the textile factories treat their effluents according to the quality standards, many of the existing textile factories do not follow it. Some of the main reasons for not following regulations include the lack of financial resources, and lack of knowledge, and lack of expertise in maintaining an effluent treatment plant. This work aims to provide a…
Company Readiness towards Green Manufacturing - A Case Study in Readymade Garments

Abstract :
Green manufacturing processes mitigate environmental pollution, save energy and maximize resource efficiency. Nowadays, Readymade garments are showing increased attention in achieving Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certificate. However, LEED certification requires high initial investment and low profit at the initial stage. LEED comprises factors to alleviate energy and resource consumption in building design, transportation, and water usage. However, green manufacturing also requires criteria such as the participation of stakeholders, waste minimization in the production, sourcing and selling green…
Bangla Sign Language Alphabet Recognition Using Hand Gestures : A Deep Learning Approach
Corresponding Author : T. B. Das (taanmoycse15@gmail.com)
Abstract : Real-time recognition of Bangla Sign Language (BSL) alphabet using hand gestures is a fascinating research topic for image processing and computer vision enthusiasts. A significant amount of researches has been done on this topic recently. BSL is a blessing for deaf and mute people of the Bengali community around the world as it minimizes discomfort in their day-to-day lives. However, in most cases, people without disabilities do not know Bangla Sign Language, thus there is a huge barrier to communication…
Machine Learning Based Approaches for Recommending Colleges to HSC Appointees
Corresponding Author : M. Rahman (moqsad-cse@sust.edu)
Abstract : Getting admitted to a suitable college that provides quality higher education becomes the dream of every student after crossing the barrier of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam. Insufficiency of proper quality institutions and the high increasing rate of candidates are the main challenges against the attainment of this dream. Mitigation of this challenge may be possible through a recommender system. Is there any possibility of a recommender system that will recommend suitable colleges to a higher secondary education appointee?…
