Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have recently gained a lot of popularity due to their rapid deployment and instant communication capabilities. WMNs are dynamically self-organizing, self-configuring and self-healing with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an adiej hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity.

Wheat is the second staple food of Bangladesh. In this paper we constructed a dynamic model for wheat price. Basically we constructed a single equation autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model of the price (quarterly wholesale wheat price). Standard ARIMA analysis rests on the simplifying assumption that the time series is stationary.

The essential oils from the dried leaves of Thymus capitatus was isolated by steam distillation. The collected oil were analyzed by GC-MS and also evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity. Twenty-two compounds, constituting about 95.4% of the total oil, were identified. The main constituents were thymol (39.2%), p-cymene (19.4%), carvacrol (11
