The rural population of Bangladesh has traditionally depended on folk medicinal healers for cure of their ailments. These healers use medicinal plants as their primary source of medicinal formulations. Rural patients are more dependent on traditional or folk medicinal healers for cure of urinary tra...

A pre-hydrolysis step to remove hemicelluloses from mixed hardwood chips consisting of maple, aspen, and birch with a ratio of 7:2:1 has been carried out. The effects of parameters on the pre-hydrolysis such as time, temperature, acetic acid addition, and raw material species, were determined. Diffe...

Abstract Jute ( Corchorus sp.) is one of the most important sources of natural fibre, covering ∼80% of global bast fibre production 1 . Only Corchorus olitorius and Corchorus capsularis are commercially cultivated, though there are more than 100 Corchorus species 2 in the Malvaceae family. Here we d...

In this paper, we proposed a new modification for an ethanol-based pulping process, which would consist of the pre-hydrolysis (pre-extraction) of wood chips for removing hemicelluloses; the ethanol extraction of pre-hydrolyzed wood chips for removing lignin; and the post purification of cellulose, l...

Abstract The groundwater recharge potentiality in Barind Tract in Rajshahi district, Northwest Bangladesh was studied based on Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing technique. In this connection satellite images (Landsat 7 ETM and SPOT) and aerial photos were subjected to several ...

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are degradation products of glucosinolates in crucifer plants and have repellent effect on insects, pathogens and herbivores. In this study, we report that exogenously applied allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis via production of reactive oxygen...

Lignins isolated from cotton stalks, jute stick and dhaincha by acidolytic dioxane were characterized using alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation, elemental analysis, methoxyl analysis and molecular weight analysis and UV, IR (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The C(9) formulas for cotton stalks, jute stick and dhain...

This study aimed to produce furfural from the PHL. Results showed best furfural yield of 32.8% and the furfural selectivity of 37.7% in the monophase system (170 °C, 100 min), while they were 60.1% and 69.8%, respectively in the biphase system. The lower furfural selectivity in the monophase system ...

In this paper, we proposed a machine learning and computer vision-based automated apple disease detection and recognition system based on leaf symptoms. The proposed method is composed of three parts: diseased region segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. We have segmented the infecte...

Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of neuronal structures and functions that lead to copious disorders like Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's (PD), Huntington's (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other less recurring diseases. Aging is the prime culprit for most neurodegenerative even...

In this investigation, the relationship between fiber properties and papermaking properties of 22 non-wood materials at the unrefined and refined states was assessed. The fiber length had positive and the cell wall thickness had negative correlation on the strength properties for the refined pulp. T...
