Cooling of electronic components continues to attract many research & development activities towards achieving an effective way of cooling. On this work, an analytic analysis of the cooling process was conducted to calculate the rcquired cooling rate. A Fluent CFD model was developed to model and simulate the system. Experimental results were t

It is now widely accepted that the major causes of morbidity and mortality in Malaysia are related to unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Besides an alarming increase in prevalence of overweight and obesity, diet-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and certain forms of cancer have recorded a

Flavonoids have become very popular owing to their many health promoting effects. They are polyphenolic compounds, occur naturally and are widely distributed in plant kingdom performing many core functions including defense from attack by insects and microorganisms. These polyphenolic compounds are plant-derived secondary metabolites with interesti

Background review: Plants are considered less toxic than synthetic drugs. Recently, the search for appropriate anti-diabetic agents has been focused on plants used in traditional medicine partly because of leads provided by traditional medicine to natural products that may be better treatments than currently used drugs responsible for serious side

Mesenteric fibromatosis (MF) is a subgroup of intraabdominal desmoid tumour and is a rare neoplasm. MF is a locally aggressive fibroconnective tissue neoplasm that frequently recurs after excision but does not metastasize. There is a high association of mesenteric fibromatosis with previous trauma, hormonal imbalance and Gardner's syndrome. Thi

The “UrbanConcept” vehicle is defined as a fuel economy pure electrical vehicle which will be the closer in appearance and technology to road-going vehicles, addressing current transportation. Increasing the fuel shortage and hiking the fuel price are made the political un-stability all over the world year-toyear and decade-to-decade. While, th

The purpose of this study is to establish the optimum initial masking level that can be used in “Plateau Method” of masking. The Minimum Effective Masking Level (MEML) of 30 normal hearing ears was determined at octave frequencies from 250Hz to 4000Hz. Mean MEML for the octave frequencies ranged from -1.8 to 0.7 dB SL. There were significant di

This paper presents a case study on establishing redundant access networks in the telecommunication sector of a developing country. For this work, we have analysed the conditions of Bangladesh as Bangladesh can be considered as an ideal model among many developing countries for such type of study. We first present the conditions of existing access

We propose a new algorithm based on machine learning techniques for automatic intruder detection in surveillance networks. The algorithm is theoretically founded on the concept of minimum volume sets. Through application to real images from an example, simple closed-circuit television system and comparison with some existing algorithms, we show tha

Bangladesh has joined the submarine cable consortium in the recent past. It had been expected that the deployment of submarine cable connectivity would eliminate the digital divide and provide different e-services with an emphasis on multi services; such as data, voice, video, health care, etc. throughout the country. This work is an assessment of
