This book offers a broader understanding of the new form social
inequality -- the digital divide -- from the context of Bangladesh,
a developing nation in South Asia. Emphasis was given to reveal the
dimensions, patterns and stages of the phenomena among university
students in the country. Since 1990s, academics and researchers
began to argue that these promises are fulfilled only to those with
access and competence to use these new technologies, because with
adoption of those technologies existing social stratification and
relations began to reproduce in an uneven way. The digital divide
is such a pinpointing concept that helps to understand the social
impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs). It is
a complex phenomenon which has social, cultural, economical,
technological, and educational as well as political dimensions.
The hybrid SG-18 x SG-01 produced the highest number of fruits per
plant and fruit yield per plant followed by SG-04 x SG-26. The
hybrid SG-04 x SG-26 took minimum days to produce female flower.
Both positive and negative mid parent and better parent heterosis
was obtained for different characters of hybrids of which few
hybrids showed desirable and significant values. The highest mid
parent heterosis in negative direction (-9.66%) was found for days
to first male flower in hybrid SG-06 x SG-18 and for days to first
female flower opening in hybrid SG-04 x SG-26 (-9.30%). The hybrids
SG-01 x SG-18, SG-04 x SG-26, SG-06 x SG-18, SG-06 x SG-25, SG-18 x
SG-01 and SG-18 x SG-25 showed significant desirable mid parent
heterosis for number of fruits per plant, and SG-04x SG-26, SG-06 x
SG-18, SG-06 x SG-25, and SG-18 x SG-25 showed better parent
heterosis. Four hybrids (SG-04 x SG-26, SG-06 x SG-18, SG-06 x
SG-25 and SG-18 x SG-25) exhibited significant and desirable level
of both mid and better parent heterosis for number of fruits per
plant. The hybrids SG-04 x SG-26, SG-06 x SG-18, SG-06 x SG-25 and
SG-18 x SG-25 could be identified as promising combination for
commercial cultivation.
Test crosses of 21 germplasms of Brassica napus with two CMS lines
(Z1 and Z2) were done for identification of maintainer lines. The
test cross progenies were grown in the research field, Department
of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Agricultural University, Gazipur during winter season. The test
cross results indicated that there was a wide variation among the
genotypes in respect of flowering characters along with yield and
yield attributes. Anther and stamen of pollen parents were larger
as compare to CMS line and its test cross progenies. In case of
CMSZ1 and CMSZ2 first flower opened at 36.67 and 32.33 days after
sowing, respectively. The genotypes Nap206, Nap205, Nap2037 and
Nap9904 were identified as effective maintainer for CMSZ1 and
Nap206, Nap108, Nap205, Nap9908, Nap9905, Nap9904 and BARI
Sarisha-8 for CMSZ2 as they produced 100 percent male sterile
progeny in full sib generation. From the investigation, it was
observed that all the male sterile progenies produced small and
slender anther with short filament as well as the smallest stamen.
In the radiation detection system, amplifier is needed from very
begging to the end. The first stage in the signal processing chain
is the pre-amplifier. This pre-amplifier is usually located as
close as possible to the detector to avoid noise pick-up in cables.
In the next stage there is the main amplifier. Therefore, amplifier
is the most important parts of the nuclear radiation detection
system. In this research work a scintillation amplifier has been
designed to meet the various requirements in radiation measurement.
There are five basic units, which constitute the scintillation
amplifier. It is also concerned with the design and construction of
scintillation amplifier incorporating the source buffer, pole zero
cancellation circuit, a voltage amplifier, a base line restorer
circuit and an emitter buffer to give output. To supply power to
these circuits a 12 V dc stabilized power supply has been also
designed.
The purpose of this study was to examine the acculturation
strategies among the Bangladeshi immigrants in Malmo and London,
difference preferences across generations and between the two
cities, and how acculturation preferences play out different
socio-cultural domains. The sample comprised 22 immigrants (11 from
London and 11 from Malmo). Data were obtained using questioners.
The results were found on the basis of Berry's (1997) four fold
acculturation model and on the basis of a new classification
developed by Lathi, Liebkind, Horenczyk and Schmitz (2002).
Responses of the Questioners revealed that integration was the most
preferred strategy when using Barry's original model both in Malmo
and London. However, when integration was sub-classified according
to their second preference using Lathi et al. typology, the
tendency towards integration became pronounced in Malmo. This
tendency became more pronounced when one examined generational
aspect using five socio-cultural domains. Acculturation preference
and integration strategies were more homogeneous in Malmo, also
when the generation dimension was taken into account than London.

Human-Environmental relationship, and Human Ecological aspects.
The moulded interconnect devices (MIDs) contain huge possibilities
for many applications in electro- mechanical-systems because of
their potential in reducing the number of components, process steps
and finally in miniaturization of the product. Among the available
MID process chains, two component (2k) injection moulding is one of
the most industrially adaptive processes. However, the use of two
component injection moulding for MID fabrication, with circuit
patterns in sub-millimeter range, is still a big challenge. This
book searches for the technical difficulties associated with the
process and makes attempts to overcome those challenges. In search
of suitable polymer materials for MIDs, potential materials are
characterized in terms of polymer-polymer bond strength, polymer-
polymer interface quality and selective metallization. The
experimental results find the factors which can control the quality
of 2k moulded parts and metallized MIDs. This book presents
documented knowledge about MID process chains, 2k moulding and
selective metallization which can valuable source of information
for both academic and industrial users.
