Bread is a food that is commonly recognized as a very convenient type of food, but it is also easily prone to microbial attack. As a result of bread spoilage, a significant economic loss occurs to both consumers and producers. For years, the bakery industry has sought to identify treatments that mak...

In Bangladesh, a nationwide lockdown was imposed on 26 March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to restricted emissions, it was hypothesized that the air quality has been improved during lockdown throughout the country. The study is intended to assess the impact of nationwide lockdown measures ...

KEY MESSAGE: Increasing water-use efficiency, due to rising atmospheric CO₂, did not stimulate radial growth in tropical trees, probably because negative impacts of changing climate on tree growth have overridden the small positive influence of rising atmospheric CO₂. Global environmental changes af...

Abstract Atmospheric CO 2 ( c a ) rise changes the physiology and possibly growth of tropical trees, but these effects are likely modified by climate. Such c a × climate interactions importantly drive CO 2 fertilization effects of tropical forests predicted by global vegetation models, but have not ...

Due to the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, the ratio of carbon fixed by assimilation to water lost by transpiration through stomatal conductance (intrinsic water-use efficiency, iWUE) shows a long-term increasing trend globally. However, the drivers of short-term (inter-annual) variabili...

Understanding transportation and deposition (TD) of aerosol particles in the human respiratory system can help clinical treatment of lung diseases using medicines. The lung airway diameters and the breathing capacity of human lungs normally increase with age until the age of 30. Many studies have an...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of the Meteorological Research Institute (MRI) global 20-km mesh Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM), called MRI-AGCM, to simulate rainfall and mean surface air temperature. Through calibration and validation the MRI-AGCM was ada...

This study reviewed the state-of-the-art knowledge on Nypa fruticans-based (hereafter Nypa-based) land use along with the corresponding ecosystem services that contribute to the wellbeing of mangrove-dependent communities (MDCs) in the tropics. In relation to the land uses, Nypa’s ecosystem service ...

We studied the radiological safety and emergency response of the VVER-1200 type nuclear power plant using the RASCAL 4.3 and HOTSPOT 3.1.2 codes for INES levels 5, 6, and 7 reactor accidents due to SBO concomitant with LOCA for both dry and rainy seasons. The simulation was performed using Gaussian ...

: Ready-made garment (RMG) industry is considered to be the strongest pillar of Bangladesh economy. Since its inception in early 80’s, it has established itself as a major source of export income for Bangladesh. This study is conducted to identify different dimensions of export performance of Bangla...

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of packaging materials on the quality and shelf life of green chili (Capsicum annuum) using passive modification of modified atmosphere packaging system. The modified atmosphere was created by making perforation in the polypropylene packets. Green ...

In the present work, the dynamic behaviour of surface albedo of a coupled soil–vegetation–atmosphere (SVA) system has been studied in relation to landform characteristics, seasonally varying surface cover, and hydro‐meteorological condition using multi‐temporal Landsat TM data. Two adjacent, sharply...

Environmental impacts of urbanization, such as increased air pollution, pose significant challenges for developing countries. This study examines land cover changes and their relationship with particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) concentrations in two upazilas of Bangladesh from 2001 to 2019 using GIS and...

Bangladesh has experienced multiple freshwater issues including salinization from monsoonal floods and groundwater over-pumping that induces severe land subsidence. Therefore, using satellite observations to virtually build a monitoring network becomes an efficient and innovative means. We focus on ...

Rhizobia are Gram-negative soil-inhabiting bacteria commonly found in nodules of leguminous plants. These bacteria exclusively fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which is convertible to urea to serve natural fertilizer to the plants. However, rhizobial microbiota of Bangladesh have been studied ...
