Shafiul Alam; Sultana, Major Tahmina; Sowket Ali, Dr. Mohammed In this paper, a model is developed and proposed to evaluate the citizens’ intentions to adopt e-Government, their knowledge, experiences, as well as their perceptions on risks, trust, behavioral control, and the usefulness of e- Government. The proposed model (Evaluation model) is based on previous research and theories on technology acceptance and it follows the 7 guidelines of design-science research. A questionnaire was made to measure the variables in the model, including personal knowledge, experiences, trust in government and e-Government. In addition, perceived risk, behavioral control, subjective norms and usefulness of e-Government were also considered. The survey was carried out in a number of big cities in Bangladesh with about 200 people participating in the completion of the questionnaire. The results showed that the relationship between variables in the model is significant. Trust in the government is not a significant indicator of trust in the e-Government, while trust and risks are found to be significantly inter-related. The prerequisites to access to e-Government like computers and the internet were found to be directly related to the citizens’ intentions to adopt it. The results also illustrated a surprising high rate of citizens who are willing to adopt the e-Government at the place of interview. This is a desired rate that all the governments want to achieve when deploying e-Government project. Md.

Amirul; Moniruzzaman, Sqn Ldr Md.; Uddin Ahmed, Maj Mollah Mesbah; Islam Ukil, Maj Shirajul; Uddin, M. Sharif A newly developed transportation technique is applied here in order to determine the maximum profit of a manufacturer company. At the very beginning of the main operation we determine a table called Total Opportunity Table (TOT) that makes the total procedure easier. Then we calculate the Distribution Indicators (DI) from the difference of the biggest and the smallest Unit Profit of each row and each column of the TOT. We locate the basic cells as the biggest entry of the TOT along the biggest DI. Finally, allocations are made in the cells of Transportation Table (TT) corresponding to the basic cells of the TOT. The technique is justified with numerical example for its efficiency. Md. Amirul Islam(1), Sqn Ldr Md. Moniruzzaman(2), Maj Mollah Mesbah Uddin Ahmed(3), Maj Shirajul Islam Ukil(4) and M.

Capt. Dr. Md. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is basically a system of satellites providing autonomous geo spatial positioning with global coverage. There are mainly four GNSS systems currently in operation. They are the United States’ Global Positioning System (GPS), Russian Federation's Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and European Galileo. The possible uses of GNSS are enormous and spanning many domains. In this paper effort has been taken to highlight some recent and practical applications of this technology, special focus on military and commercial applications in various fields.

Lutfor; Nawrin, Sumaiya; A Sultan, Rasel Pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is a two-phase thermal control device with arbitrary number of turns which is basically used for the thermal management of microelectronic devices as there is a requirement of miniaturization of heat exchangers. To fulfill today’s increasing demand of power electronic applications PHP is a proven technology which works on principle of oscillation of the working fluid and phase change phenomenon in a capillary tube. An experimental investigation has been done on both close and open loop pulsating heat pipes by using suitable working fluid to observe their thermal performance. It has performed on 2 mm inner diameter and 2.5 mm outer diameter open and close loop pulsating heat pipe with fin added on the condensation section. The overall experiment is done by using methanol with 50% filling ratio at 0⁰ (vertical) inclination angle on close loop pulsating heat pipe (CLPHP) and open loop pulsating heat pipe (OLPHP) with 8 loops. In both the pipe evaporation section is 50mm, adiabatic section is 120 mm and condensation section is 80 mm. The main objective of this experiment is to observe the effect of their thermal performance while using fins and without fin i.e. the basic form. The paper attempt theoretical and experimental investigation on the thermo-physical properties of working fluid and will also show the result regarding the significance of using fin on CLPHP and OLPHP. Keywords: PHP, CLPHP, OLPHP, fin with condensation section. Anaerobic treatment of high strength industrial wastewater is a well established industry in the developed world. Along with the treatment of wastewater requiring no aeration and thus being highly energy efficient the byproducts of anaerobic treatment hydrogen and methane gases are sources of clean renewable energy. This paper evaluates the potential of biogas generation in the Bangladesh Military Savar dairy milk processing facility by detailed characterization of the wastewater discharge flow pattern and characterization of the wastewater. A theoretical methane generation evaluation was conducted based on the wastewater flow and waste characterization. This was then related to the potential high value generation in terms of electricity production to show the potential of anaerobic agro based industry wastewater treatment with simultaneous generation of renewable energy.
