Field trial was done with two particle length (4-cm and 8-cm). Bales were formed using an Orkel GP model 1260 silage baler after the alfalfa dried to the approximate desired moisture content. Bales were kept under open air; semi closed and closed storage condition. Silage quality of all samples was determined after storage period. Dry matter (DM), pH, crude cellulose, (CC), ash, crude protein (CP), acetic acid (AA) and lactic acid contents (LA) were evaluated as silage quality parameters. Results of the chemical analysis of silages were found significant influence of storage conditions and particle length on bale silage quality. Silage color values were also measured in this research. According to results, silage quality was changed to be strongly dependent on particle length (*P<0.05). The best silage quality and desired silage color were obtained from the bales in particle length of 8 cm stored under closed storage.

This qualitative study design allowed the researcher to gain insight into the lives of men that have been affected by the sexual disease. Here methods of data collection were thorough and methodical through the interview with unstructured and open-ended questions and observation and analyzed the data using grounded theory was an arduous task but worthwhile. This study influenced researcher to think about identity in the field; at the same time, it influenced him to think about the limitations of street research on a sensitive issue. The study was justified by the knowledge how people react to sexual disease and the problems they experience as a consequence of sexual disease, or it's treatment. Knowing about the people's perception about the sexual disease and treatment, clients and canvassers' narratives on male sexual health was another important part of this study; and also to know about ca...

More than half a million migrants have returned from February to May 2020 to Bangladesh. The state and society have stigmatized returnee expatriates as suspected disease carriers. Some of them are being physically assaulted and humiliated by their neighbor and society. Researchers revealed a new dimension of "Othering" discourse; where consent of hate crime formed being solely blamed for bring coronavirus and ignoring mandatory quarantine period. The government officially stigmatized them by putting quarantined seals at their hands and hoisting red flags at their homes. Interestingly, we have found the distinction of stigmatization between returnee expatriates, where returnee workers were being humiliated rather than high-skilled returnee professionals from a so-called developed country. Returnee expatriates experienced a transformation of identity. Researchers ...

The experiment was carried out in a Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) during aman season, 2003 at the experimental land of Khulna University, Khulna. The obtained results suggest that Kathalbiruine had better plant growth, considerable booting, heading and flowering periods, higher grain yield and harvest index than Pushbiruine and Pakbiruine. Thus Kathalbiruine may be considered as a potential candidate for cultivation in South-West Coastal Region of Bangladesh.

AZ28, obtained from industrial effluent, demonstrates a great capacity to degrade various azo dyes (methyl orange (MO), magneson I (MI), novacron dark blue (NDB), and novacron red FN 3GF (NRF3)), and azo dye-containing textile effluent (TE). The degradation was evident by decolorization of dyes, and the decolorization efficiency of 84-95% was achieved within 14-72 h under optimum conditions, such as 37˚C, pH 7, inoculation size 8%, 1% glucose, and 1% beef extract. The extent of decolorization of individual dye was determined by UV–Vis spectroscopy, and products of biodegradation were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy and TLC analyses. Chemical analysis showed that the COD and BOD values were significantly reduced after treatment. Thus, the biodegradation ability under mild conditions suggests that Bacillus sp. AZ28 has potential in textile effluent treatment. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 45(1); 117-122: June 2021

Functional maturity of NK cells was reflected in their ability to lyse target cells from the K562 cell line. During the development of the technique, venous blood was taken from one healthy adult and assayed at different times to avoid individual variation. The technique was based on the principle of limiting dilution analysis. The NKpf assay was set up with a range of cell dilutions from 40,000 to 625 per 100 ml/well in 96-well culture plates. At the end of the culture period, the K562 cell line labelled with europium (Eu-K562) was added and the Eu-release was measured in culture supernatants using time-resolved fluorometry. The NKpf value differed between individuals and was influenced by the length of time in culture, being maximal at day 5. Maturation of NKp required the continuous presence of recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2), or rIL-15, both being equally effective. In the absence of cytokines, the functional NK cells declined rapidly beyond 24 h in culture. Irradiated allogeneic cells appeared to substitute in part for cytokines, but the numbers of allo-activated NKpf were lower than those observed when allo-activated NKpf were cultured with rIL-2. This suggested selective activation by the allogeneic stimulus of subsets of NKp or rIL-2-rescue of NKp subsets destined for apoptotic cell death. Alternatively, the increased frequency could have been attributable to activation of precursors of natural killer-T cells (NK-Tp). This assay is suitable for estimating the total number of precursors of functional NK cells in the blood of patients.

Total 84 samples of fluid milk (15 samples from the open market of each district are Sirajganj, Pabna, Tangail and Dhaka and 6 samples of pasteurized milk of 4 different brands) were collected. The determination of physicochemical properties, microbial quality and presence of adulterant of all milk samples were carried out. Highest average milk fat was found in the raw milk collected from the open market at Dhaka district and in Brand 4 as 4.2% and 3.55% respectively. The lowest corrected lactometer reading (CLR) was found in Sirajganj as 25.5. A few of the pasteurized milk and open market milk were being adulterated by skimmed milk, sugar, added water and soda and alcohol respectively. Results pertaining to the enumeration of E.coli, Salmonella and V. Cholera exhibited 56.66%, 45% and 10% of samples of open market and 12.5%, 8.33% and 4.17% of samples of brands respectively. Due to unhygienic milking practice and very poor sanitary facilities, the highest amount of total plate count was 7.9 x 10 6 cfu/ml at Sirajganj district.

This study compares data sets obtained from three geophysical probes used for measuring rock resistivity. A detailed analysis was carried out to determine which of these probes provides the best option in terms of identification of coal-seam thickness. The resistivity probes used were guard log (GL), single-point resistance (SPR), and induction log (IND) probes. To aid the comparison among the different logs, two other geophysical logs were included: natural gamma (NG) and optical televiewer (OPTV), which helped to identify the coal seams. In the specific case of OPTV, when the situation is favorable, it identifies the coal seams and checks the vertical resolution of the other logs due to its excellent vertical resolution. In this study, analyzed data were obtained from four different coal deposits, namely B3, Calombo, Cerro, and Seival. All the coal deposits mentioned are located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In all, 13 boreholes with recovered core samples a...

For this study five most popular dry fish samples namely bombay duck (loittya), ribbon fish (chhuri), shrimp (chingri), chinese pomfret (rupchanda) and Indian salmon (lakhua) were analyzed. The highest concentrations of DDT and heptachlor were found 737.2 ppb (Indian salmon, normal) and 44.8 ppb (shrimp, normal) respectively; after boiling treatment a big amount was washed out and remained only 135.5 and 16.9 ppb respectively. Boiling treatment was found more effective than the others. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.

Mann Rogossa and Sharpe (MRS) and Trypticase Phytone Peptone Yeast extract (TPY) were used as selective media for the isolation of these organisms. Resistance to bile is an important characteristic that enables probiotic organisms to survive and grow in the intestinal tract. Six LAB strains from the 22 isolated (LAB-3, 10, 11, 13, 15, 21) were grown with and without 0.3% Oxgall bile at 12 h incubation. The most rapid deconjugation by the strains LAB-11 and LAB-21 + bile were attained during 3 to 9 h of incubation at 37 °C, which coincided with the most rapid growth for LAB strains. Similarly, six BB strains from the 22 isolated (Bifi-10, 11, 12, 15, 19, 20) grew in TPY broth with and without 0.3% Oxgall bile. The most rapid deconjugation by strains Bifi-20 and Bifi-19 + bile were attained during 0 to 9 h ...
