Quantum capacitance in strained armchair Graphene nanoribbon considering Edge effect
(© 2015 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
Armchair Graphene nanoribbons(A-GNRs) are now widely used in nanoscale transistor because of its semiconducting behavior and fast switching speed. The most important parameter which impedes carrier movement through the ...
Electric and lighting energy audit: a case study of selective commercial buildings in Dhaka
(© 2015 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
Energy audit can be one of the fastest and cheapest solutions to mitigate the gap between energy demand and supply since it identifies the energy loss and improvement areas. The paper shows a detailed analysis on building ...
Effect of Fluctuating surface heat and mass flux on natural convection flow along a vertical flat plate
(© 2015 Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
An investigation has been carried on double diffusive effect on boundary layer flow due to small amplitude oscillation in surface heat and mass flux. Extensive parametric simulations were performed in order to elucidate ...
Explaining low rates of sustained use of siphon water filter: evidence from follow-up of a randomised controlled trial in Bangladesh
(© 2015 Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2015)
Objective: To assess sustained siphon filter usage among a low-income population in Bangladesh and study relevant motivators and barriers. Methods: After a randomised control trial in Bangladesh during 2009, 191 households ...
“Flypaper effects” in transfers targeted to women: Evidence from BRAC's “Targeting the Ultra Poor” program in Bangladesh
(Science Direct, 2015-11)
Many development interventions target transfers to women. However, little evidence directly explores the “flypaper effects” of whether women retain control over these transfers once within the household and how reallocation ...
Double quantum well resonant tunneling negative differential resistance device design using graphene nanoribbons
(© 2015 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
In this paper double quantum well resonant tunneling negative differential resistance (NDR) device based on intrinsic armchair graphene nanoribbon (A-GNR) is proposed. Non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) based transport ...
Knowledge and attitude of key community members towards tuberculosis: mixed method study from BRAC TB control areas in Bangladesh
(© 2015 BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)
Background: Bangladesh National Tuberculosis (TB) Control Programme adopted a number of strategies to facilitate TB diagnosis and treatment. 'Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilization' (ACSM) was one of the key ...
Quality with equity in primary education: implications of high stakes assessments on teacher practice in Bangladesh
(© 2015 Springer Netherlands, 2015-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the teacher change process and understand how the variability of primary school teachers' in Bangladesh implementation of innovative pedagogies, such as active learning, refl ...
The scope for trade restrictions to address the lack of compliance with fire safety standards in garment factories of Bangladesh
(© 2015 Kluwer Law International BV, The Netherlands., 2015)
The frequent incidents of fire attributable to systemic lack of compliance with fire safety standards in garment factories of Bangladesh has been a recurring problem taking away lives of many workers over the years.The ...
Tuberculosis associates with both airflow obstruction and low lung function: BOLD results
(© 2015 European Respiratory Society, 2015)
In small studies and cases series, a history of tuberculosis has been associated with both airflow obstruction, which is characteristic of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and restrictive patterns on spirometry. The ...
