The Textile and Clothing Sector in Bangladesh, predominantly consisting of the Readymade Garments (RMG) industries is currently the largest contributor to the national export earnings. Starting in the late seventies as a minor non-traditional sector with a negligible export base, the sector has grown over the years in geometric progression and presently accounts for about 75% of the total expor...

We develop a machinery which translates results on algebraic sums of sets of reals into the corresponding results on their cartesian product. Some consequences are: (1) The product of meager/null-additive sets in the Cantor space is meager/nulladditive, respectively. (2) The product of a meager/null-additive set and a strong measure zero/strongly meager set in the Cantor space has strong measur...

We present the basic isopermetric structure theory, obtaining some new simplified proofs. Let 1 ≤ r ≤ k be integers. As an application, we obtain simple descriptions for the subsets S of an abelian group with |kS| ≤ k|S|−k+1 or |kS−rS|−(k+r)|S|, where where S denotes as usual the Minkowski sum of copies of S. These results may be applied to several questions in Combinatorics and Additive Combin...

Within the current operations and exploration goal, Diamond Value Management (DVM) features in two of the strategic leverage areas. These are ➤ Operational margin improvement ➤ Growth and delivery to plan. The objective of Diamond Value Management within this action plan is to provide a 10–20% improvement in the dollar per ton revenue across the group mines (using 1998 actual figures as the bas...

Partially Lateritised Khondalite (PLK) rocks are the waste materials generated as a result of mining of bauxite. The major discolouring elemental impurity in the PLK is iron oxides, which render it unsuitable for its use as a refractory material. The iron can be removed by suitable beneficiation methods. The main aim of this present investigation is to prepare a value added material from the mi...

This study investigated the potential and sustainable use of biomass derived from various stages grape drying process. A total eleven byproducts, each containing varying organic materials, were produced subjected to testing. Ultimate analysis, as well analyses heating values, chemical composition, lignocellulose solids concentration biogas production performed with recommended criteria assessme...
