Abstract: Bangladesh is essentially self-sufficient in rice as a result of the successful adoption of new high-yielding varieties and irrigated summer production over traditional deep-water cultivation practices. The sustainability of the cropping system depends on farmers adopting ...

This paper presents the realization of multiple-valued flip-flops (MVFF) using pass transistor logic. Realization of MVFF has been discussed by many authors. The existing techniques are mainly extensions of binary flip-flops, based on CMOS or TTL logic. We propose here, two different design techniques for MVFF realized by pass transistors, which can be a promising alternative to static CMOS for

Imaging with technetium-99m analogs of imminodiacetic acid has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of various hepatobiliary diseases. The biliary ductal dilatation is usually late response of obstruction. With the development of TC-99m IDA scintigraphy, however, the functional aberrations associated with obstruction can be detected prior to the development of ductal enlargement identifiable by US & CT. We report a case of post-cholecystectomy pain due to biliary dyskinesia diagnosed by 99m TC-HIDA hepatobiliary imaging.

Human motion tracking is an active area of research in computer vision and machine intelligence. It has many applications in video surveillance and human-computer interface. Most of the existing algorithms track multiple humans in a given image. This paper proposes a ...

Hepatobiliary ultrasound was carried out on 2224 consecutive patients at the Center for Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound and at one private diagnostic center in Mymensingh for ultrasound examination of different systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of biliary ascariasis and its association with other biliary diseases, specially biliary lithiasis. Data regarding the presence of stone, worm or other diseases were recorded accordingly in this prospective study. There were 952 male and 1272 female patients with an age range of 5-90 years. Biliary diseases were detected in 305 patients (13.71%), of whom 97 were male (10.19%) and 208 were female (16.35%). The most common biliary disease in both sexes was cholelithiasis (11.87%), which was found in 84 male patients (8.82%) and in 180 female patients (14.15%). Other diseases found were choledocholithiasis in 14 patients (3 males, 11 females), gall bladder mass in 9 patients (3 males, 6 females), common bile duct mass in 7 patients (4 male, 3 female) and biliary ascariasis in 10 patients (3 male, 7 female). Overall prevalence of biliary ascariasis was 0.45% (0.31% in male patients and 0.55% in female patients), and age range of patients with the condition was 6-50 years. No case of biliary ascariasis was associated with cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis. Acute cholecystitis was associated with 8 cases (80%) of biliary ascariasis. Common sonographic findings in patients with biliary ascariasis were a single long, linear or curved echogenic structure within the bile duct, without acoustic shadowing. Other findings were gall bladder distention with sludge inside, an edematous wall and mildly dilated biliary tree. Prevalence of biliary ascariasis in the study was 0.45%, with incidence being higher in female subjects (0.55%). No correlation was found between biliary ascariasis and biliary lithiasis. Most of the cases of biliary ascariasis were associated with acute cholecystitis. We concluded that a careful search for biliary ascariasis should be considered for patients with acute acalculus cholecystitis, especially in areas in which ascariasis is endemic, such as Bangladesh.

Dhaka being the capital city of Bangladesh attracts people from all over the country for diverse opportunities. Pressure of continuous increase of population , poor construction standards, lack of law enforcement and monitoring, construction on filled up canals and water bodies, unplanned growth in hazard prone areas-all of these are in short risk insensitive approaches turning the whole city into a source of potential hazards. As a result, both the built up and growing areas possess a great risk of hazards like fire incidents, water logging, structural collapse, and earthquake. This paper addresses the need to address the risks in unplanned built up areas; as well as takes into account an area as a case with prior illustration of context of Dhaka city (part of ward No. 14 & 15) and investigates its exposure to various risks mainly of fire and earthquake. The (part of the) ward is well known for the most contaminated area being the largest tannery industry in Bangladesh. The write up analyzes the vulnerability of the area in terms of infrastructures and emergency response; and aims to develop some notions towards building resilience by intervening into it through a short, medium and long term action plan; in which it gives emphasis on improving connectivity and reclaiming open space for a smooth emergency response actions. Methodology of the whole process includes literature review, analyzing secondary data, and primary data collection from site through observation and conversation with the local residents.
