Cell: +8801819895389, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper aims at developing a taxonomy, which uses both institutional and functional criteria. Departing from the assumption that there are several evolutionary stages in the development of university-industry collaboration, which embrace unstructured to fully structured and complex modes, the paper identifies five stages: (i) ad hoc collaboration at an individual level, (ii) development of internal support structures, (iii) creation of autonomous support structures, (iv) setting up of individual enterprises and (v) national and transnational networking. These five development stages include organizational forms, such as Industrial Liaison Offices, University-Industry Research Centers, Trading Companies, Foundations, and, Affiliate programs and Consortia. Each of these organizational models is reviewed in terms of its objectives, functioning and predominance in different regions of the world. Without attempting to be exhaustive specific case examples are included from the African, Western European and Latin American countries. These case examples draw particular attention to some of the crucial management aspects in the development of university-industry collaboration. These lessons will refer to the choice of an appropriate organizational model. It will provide also some guidelines for the strategic and operational management of these relations. Key Words: Collaboration, Organizational model, University, Industry. 1.

In the era of dynamic business most of the organizations invest a huge amount of money and spend a great deal of time and efforts as though they can properly utilize and manage this vital resource. Stress is one of the burning questions that hinder the officers’ and workers’ performance and productivity. In this paper all experiences of jobs are discussed which affects human minds and bodies. It has been essentially built the inputs which are obtained by conducting a comprehensive study covering the aspects of stress in today’s business. An attempt has been taken to address three major key areas related with the types and sources of work related stress, impact of stress on individuals and the way of managing stress. Keywords: Stress, Employee Stress, Stress management, Occupational stress, Reduction of stress, Prevention of stress.

  • Anharmonic Solution of Schrödinger Time-Independent Equation
    PRAMANA c Indian Academy of Sciences Vol. 77, No. 2 — journal of August 2011 physics pp. 243–261 Anharmonic solution of Schrödinger time-independent equation MOHAMMED ASHRAFUL ISLAM1,2,∗ and JAMAL NAZRUL ISLAM1 1Research Centre for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Chittagong, Chittagong, Bangladesh 2Department of Mathematics, University of Chittagong, Chittagong, Bangladesh ∗Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] MS received 3 January 2010; revised 2 January 2011; accepted 12 January 2011 Abstract. We present here a mathematical explanation of how the Schrödinger equation for a class of harmonic oscillators possesses exact solutions. Some of the extended potentials used here are not present in the literature. Keywords. Anharmonic solutions; Yukawa potential. PACS Nos 03.65.Ge; 33.10.Cs 1. Introduction The problem of finding exact (classical and quantum mechanical) solutions for anharmonic oscillators is of methodological and practical interest in some model field theories (φ4, φ6 etc.), in the context of various fields of applied physics; for instance, in the mean field theory of first-order structural phase transitions [1], in many other cases in atomic and molecular physics or in charmonium systems which provide us with mathematical formu- lations of physical problems. Moreover, in other cases non-relativistic exact results can be used for extrapolation into the relativistic regime, for example in the context of the theory of S-matrix of strong interaction [2]. Keen interest was shown in the use of multi-term potential in various articles [3–8]. Most of them use doubly harmonic oscillators. Also, if the potential can be treated by perturbation methods [9], then the exact solutions provide an excellent check of the perturbation expansion for those states for which they exist.

  • CORI Country Report Bangladesh, March 2012
    Confirms CORI country of origin research and information CORI Country Report Bangladesh, March 2012 CORI Country Report; Bangladesh, March 2012 Preface Country of Origin Information (COI) is required within Refugee Status Determination (RSD) to provide objective evidence on conditions in refugee producing countries to support decision making. Quality information about human rights, legal provisions, politics, culture, society, religion and healthcare in countries of origin is essential in establishing whether or not a person’s fear of persecution is well founded. CORI Country Reports are designed to aid decision making within RSD. They are not intended to be general reports on human rights conditions. They serve a specific purpose, collating legally relevant information on conditions in countries of origin, pertinent to the assessment of claims for asylum. Categories of COI included within this report are based on the most common issues arising from asylum applications made by Bangladeshi nationals. This report covers events up to 31 March 2012. COI is a specific discipline distinct from academic, journalistic or policy writing, with its own conventions and protocols of professional standards as outlined in international guidance such as The Common EU Guidelines on Processing Country of Origin Information, 2008 and UNHCR, Country of Origin Information: Towards Enhanced International Cooperation, 2004. CORI provides information impartially and objectively, the inclusion of source material in this report does not equate to CORI agreeing with its content or reflect CORI’s position on conditions in a country. It is acknowledged that all sources have a bias, it is for decision makers to place a weight on sources, assessing relevance to each individual application.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to show this relation by introducing utility functions, preference relations and Arrow’s impossibility theorem with easier mathematical calculations. The paper begins with some definitions which are easy but will be helpful to those who are new in this field. The preference relations will give idea in individual’s and social choices according to their budget. Economists want to create maximum utility in society and the paper indicates how the maximum utility can be obtained. Arrow’s theorem indicates that the aggregate of individuals’ preferences will not satisfy transitivity, indifference to irrelevant alternatives and non-dictatorship simultaneously so that one of the individuals becomes a dictator. The Combinatorial and Geometrical approach facilitate understanding of Arrow’s theorem in an elegant manner. JEL. Classification: C51; D11; D21; D78; D92 Key words: Utility Function, Preference Relation, Indifference Hypersurface, Social Choice, Arrow’s Theorem. 1.

  • A New Solution of Intermediate Cosmological Inflation with the Effect of Scalar Field
    The Chittagong Univ. J. Sci. 41(1) : 112-121, 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.3329/cujs.v41i1.51919 A New Solution of Intermediate Cosmological Inflation with the Effect of Scalar Field Shomi Aktar1 and Anjan Kumar Chowdhury2* 1.

Jamal Nazrul Islam Research Centre for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh *Corresponding Author; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract According to the inflationary model, the universe had a brief period of extraordinarily rapid expansion or inflation during which its diameter increased by a factor at least 1025 times larger than previously thought. In this work an analysis is given on inflationary universe, which expands at a rate intermediate between that of power-law and exponential inflation. We have examined the model of Barrow which is solved exactly and leaded to power law inflation. We have tested a new potential by applying the scalar field using the equation of motion and found some new interior solutions. Keywords: Inflation, scalar field, expansion, cosmological constant, power law. ùxwZ g‡Wj Abyhvqx, gnvwe‡k¦i GKwU mswÿß AmvaviYfv‡e AwZ `ªæZ ea©b ev ùxwZ Kvj wQj, hv‡Z Zvi e¨vm Av‡Mi Abygv‡bi †P‡q Kgc‡ÿ 1025 ¸Y e„w× n‡qwQj| G Kv‡Ri g‡a¨ ùxwZg~jK gnvwe‡k¦i hv NvZ m~Î I m~PKxq ùxwZi ga¨eZx© nv‡i cÖmvwiZ nq Zvi GKwU we‡kølY †`qv n‡q‡Q| Avgiv e¨v‡iv g‡WjwU cix¶v K‡iwQ hvi h_v_© mgvavb Kiv n‡q‡Q Ges Shomi Aktar and Anjan Kumar Chowdhury 113 hv NvZ m~Î ùxwZi w`‡K avweZ n‡q‡Q| MwZi mgxKiY e¨envi K‡i †¯‹jvi †ÿÎ cÖ‡qvM K‡i Avgiv GKwU bZyb wefe cixÿv K‡iwQ Ges wKQy bZyb Af¨šÍixY mgvavb †c‡qwQ| 1.
