Increasing population growth and decreasing land ratio made it difficult for rural people of Bangladesh to maintain their livelihood. Especially the small-scale farmers find it trickier using their scarce resources. One House One Farm approach(OHOF) is designed to utilize the house and farm resources of the small- scale farmers to improve their livelihood. The focus of the study was to determin...

dam spillways are the structures that lead rightly and safely the outflow downstream, so that the dam integrity can be guaranteed. many accidents with dams have been caused by an inadequate spillway design or insufficient capacity. to accurately respond the hydraulic spillways, designers use physical modeling for designing this kind of structures. the scale effect in the spillway modeling, as a...

Emission lines from the solar transition region between the chromosphere and the corona often show a two Gaussian component profile with a core and a broad second component contributing up to 25% to the total intensity. For the first time a systematic study of the broadening and Doppler shift of the second weaker components is performed using SUMER on SOHO to explore the spatial structures of t...

the uncontrolled spread of illegal artisanal small-scale gold mining (asm), popularly termed “galamsey” in ghana, has, for decades, impacted adversely upon water bodies, soils, wildlife, human health, and safety. a lack of understanding, however, of the types of galamsey, their operational attributes, and their relative impacts has unfortunately hindered an effective policy response despite num...

in this research, the bending analysis of rectangular nanoplates subjected to mechanical loading is investigated. for this purpose, the strain gradient elasticity theory with one gradient parameter is presented to study the nanoplates. from the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that the exponential shear deformation formulation based on strain gradient elasticity theory is carried...

In the present study, small scale effect on critical buckling loads of triangular nano- composite plates under uniform in-plane compression is studied. Since at nano-scale the structure of the plate is discrete, the size dependent nonlocal elasticity theory is employed to develop an equivalent continuum plate model for this nanostructure incorporating the changes in its mechanical behavior. The...

In this study, the small scale effect on the linear free-field vibration of a nano-circular plate has been investigated using nonlocal elasticity theory. The formulation is based on the classical theory and the linear strain in cylindrical coordinates. To take into account the small scale and the linear geometric effects, the governing differential equation based on the nonlocal elasticity theo...

This paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The SLGS is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as Visco-Pasternak foundation. In order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...

new two nano- sized schiff base complexes [m(l)], where l= 2, 2'-((1e, 1e')-(1, 2 phenylen bis (azanylylidene)) bis (methanylylidene)) bis (4-bromo phenolato) and m=cu or zn, (a, b complexes) were synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation. these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, ft-ir, fluorescence emission, 1h nmr, field emission scanning electron sp...
