Even though the properties of individual nanoparticles are fascinating and technologically promising, to harness these properties, however, the particles need to be assembled in an array to form a superlattice. While there are ways of forming small ordered monolayers and crystals of nanoparticles there is no satisfactory method to deposit large areas of ordered multilayers films of nanoparticles. Dry casting and spin coating result in films that are typically not uniform and by nature, unpatterned. Multilayer, ordered and patterned films of nanoparticles are essential for device fabrication....

Rapseed is a recently introduced highly promising cash crop in the developing world. Its successful introduction is possible only through developing and testing of improved plant types.This monograph communicates the result regarding a locally developed advance line viz. HS-98, tested agianst four commercial varieties, Dunkled, Rainbow, Oscar and Altex. ANOVA of leaf area, plant height, inflorescence length, days to flowering, beak length, pods per plant, seed per pod and stem thickness were highly significant. Whereas branches per plant, flowering duration, radical leaves and days...

Forest resource management is based on some concepts viz; forest rotation, forest sustainability, forest accounting etc. All these concepts are taken into consideration through a forest policy, which is essentially required for forest resource management.Bangladesh, being a third world country has a long background of forest resource management. Historically the whole process of management is guided by the national forest policy.However, this forest policy is suffered by some serious flaws as it could not addressed some genuine problems viz;i)inadequate administrative capacity, ii)technical...

This book deals with good governance and institutional capacity and their impacts on service delivery of local organizations in Bangladesh.The objective of this book is to look at how the major actors and the factors contribute to promote or confine good governance and service delivery. Qualitative case study method is used for this. Accountability, transparency, and participation are used as theoretical tools for understanding good governance. This book shows that good governance and effective service delivery are influenced by the management in the organization, sufficient human and...
