Published: 2023-December-31
The study was carried out at the Agricultural Research Field of IUBAT to investigate the impact of varying levels of boron (B) fertilizer on the growth and production of okra (Hybrid Okra-Shomy). The experiment followed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The experiment included four treatments: T0 (Control), T1 (1kg B ha1), T2 (2kg B ha-1), and T3 (3kg B ha-1). These treatments were implemented in order to assess the optimal outcomes of the study.

Concrete is extensively used in all construction works such as buildings, bridges, roads and dams worldwide. It is made by simply combining cement, aggregate, sand and water in the appropriate proportion. This paper reports on an investigational study on the outcome of using saltwater in coastal regions for blending and curing concrete since palatable water is a deficient asset on the earth. As most of the ions in seawater comprise Na, Mg, Cland SO4 2- , this research aimed to observe how concrete behaves after the addition of NaCl and MgSO4 salt separately for mixing concrete and curing at different concentrations.

Authors: Mohammad Salim Kaiser, Innovation Center (IUBAT)
Published: 2023-December-31
A comparative study has been carried out on the wear behavior of commercially pure aluminium and copper of highly used conductive materials under dry sliding environment. Wear tests have been conducted using a standard pin-on-disk apparatus where Al and Cu are treated as pin samples and stainless steel as disc. An applied load of 10N is used for both specimens where the calculated contact stress is active at 0.51 MPa.

Published: 2023-December-31
Agarwood is one of the most expensive natural products, produced from Aquilaria Spp. These plants produce agar resin through mechanical, biological, or chemical stress. Besides these, the particles having size in the range of 1-100 nm, are known as nanoparticles, have ultra-high surface area and surface plasmon resonance, can create stress on living plants when incorporated into the plant body. Adopting this concept, we intend to produce agarwood by inoculating water-dispersible metal/metal oxide nanoparticles.
