A comparative study focusing on antioxidant properties of the selected green leafy vegetables: Chenopodium album, Brassica juncea and Brassica campestris
Corresponding Author : Razia Sultana Chowdhury (sult4n4c@gmail.com)
Abstract : Green leafy vegetables (GLVs) are believed to possess strong antioxidant potential. In this study, antioxidant properties of three GLVs were examined. Methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Chenopodium album, Brassica juncea and Brassica campestris were analyzed for total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), DPPH radical scavenging activity and Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The results indicated that methanolic extract of B. campestris credited for the highest amount of TPC (226.48 µg GAE/mg) whereas the lowest amount was found in…
Determination of Groundwater Recharge Variation in Sylhet Sadar Upazila Using Water Table Fluctuation Method
Corresponding Author : Md. Shamim Ahmed (saiwm07@gmail.com)
Abstract : This study efforts to determine the variation of groundwater recharge and recharge rate with rainfall in Sylhet Sadar Upazila by water table fluctuation method. Rainfall and groundwater level data of the period 1990-2014 were collected and analyzed. The annual recharge varied from 56.35 mm to 225.19 mm with average of 110.31 mm. The annual groundwater recharge rate for the study period varied from only 1.68% to 5.13% with an average of 2.89% due to lower specific yield. In case of…
An interactive code for automatic (h- and p-versions) mesh generation and the solution of one-dimensional Bio-heat Equation
Corresponding Author : Md. Shajedul Karim (msk-mat@sust.edu)
Abstract : In this study, first, we develop an algorithm for the automatic mesh generation employing the nth order one-dimensional finite elements, preparing the elements data, and forming the element connectivity. Secondly, we modify the techniques for evaluating the integrals needed to compute the components of the element matrices and improve the assembly process to form the global matrices. Then, we develop an interactive computer code incorporating all the algorithms and techniques for obtaining the solution of the one-dimensional Bio-heat equation. The…
Documentation and Architectural Interpretation of the Panishail Temple Complex, Maulvibazar, Bangladesh
Corresponding Author : Kawshik Saha (kawshik-arc@sust.edu)
Abstract : This article represents survey data of historical and architectural documentation of Sri Radha Binod Ashrama locally known as the Panishail temple. Temple architecture is a common feature of traditional religious architecture practice in Bangladesh. This article is a historical and architectural investigation of a less known and mixed type of Hindu temple style in the Bengal region. The Panishail temple complex has a collection of structures that include tomb, temples, and residences aged between fifty to two hundred years. Over…
Small Area Estimation Method for District Level Prevalence of Maternal Health Care Indicators in Bangladesh
Corresponding Author : Mossamet Kamrun Nesa (mknesa-sta@sust.edu)
Abstract : Small area estimation (SAE) method is commonly used to obtain micro-level estimates of development indicators. The SAE method through Fay-Herriot model is well-known to compute small area level estimates. This study aims to apply Fay-Harriot model to estimate the district level maternal health care indicators (MHCI) viz., antenatal care (ANC), postnatal care (PNC), skilled birth attendance (SBA), and caesarean section (C-section) with their accuracy level. Both Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2011 and Bangladesh Population and Housing Census (BPHC)…
Safe and Efficient Distribution Management of Liquefied Petroleum Gas for Domestic Usage
Corresponding Author : Md. Delowar Hossain (delowar46@gmail.com)
Abstract : Domestic gas supply to consumers is a big concern of the government of Bangladesh as the reservation of natural gas will be exhausted within an era. To mitigate the domestic gas crisis, the government of Bangladesh has already introduced liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a suitable alternative energy source of natural gas for household consumers. Therefore, installation of proper gas distribution system throughout the country is essential to ensure the optimum LPG consumption maintaining adequate safety. As per depicted domestic…
Potentials and Hindrances of Directing Remittances in Investment: A Study in the Sylhet Region of Bangladesh
Corresponding Author : Dr. Md. Zakir Hossain (mzhossain.bds@gmail.com)
Abstract : The Sylhet region of Bangladesh is undoubtedly a potential hub for industrial development due to its comparative advantage in terms of land, raw materials, capital, location specific advantages for international business, Diaspora network of Sylheti expatriates, etc. The foreign remittance is regarded as an important instrument for economic development of the region. An attempt is made to explore the potential and hindrances of directing remittances in investment sectors. The study has analysed a primary dataset generated by a field survey…
An Alternative Approach to Gravity based on Multiple Independent Fields
Corresponding Author : B. K. Chakravorti (bkcb59@gmail.com)
Abstract : We present a new approach to gravity theory. In this approach, four independent fields convey the gravitational force. These fields are colored in the sense that they do not add up to Newtonian potential and field for two body gravitational interaction. The fields are generated by two types of mass of a single body; the gravitoelectric charge (mass)m and gravitomagnetic charge (mass) -2m. Here, there is no disparity between source and test particle masses which is usually seen in typical…
Numerical Simulation of Blood Flow through Stenosed Artery Using Bifurcation Concept
Corresponding Author : Md. Alamgir Kabir (akabir-mat@sust.edu)
Abstract : Blood flow patterns are extensively associated with the initial development of atherosclerosis in the bifurcation of the carotid artery. In the present study, two different arterial bifurcation geometrical models are used to investigate the hemodynamic parameters numerically. Model 1 is assumed as a bifurcated carotid artery without stenosis whereas Model 2 with stenosis. The inlet boundary conditions for the streamwise velocity have been created by the equation of sinusoidal pulsatile velocity profile and the program is written in C-language using…
Internal consistency and structure of the statistics anxiety rating scale: A multivariate analysis among undergraduate students of SUST, Sylhet
Corresponding Author : Mohammad Romel Bhuia (romel_stat@yahoo.com)
Abstract : The need for basic statistics knowledge in undergraduate level is increasing day by day. However, many students find it difficult to figure out statistical concepts and have become one of the greatest challenges among students at all levels of study. Few studies related to statistics anxiety have been done in the regions other than English-speaking populations. No study has yet been done to examine the internal consistency and structure of Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS) in Bangladesh. This study aimed…
