Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network Economic corridors are anchored on transport corridors, and international experience suggests that the higher the level of connectivity within and across countries, the higher the level of economic growth. In this paper, a new set of corridors is being proposed for Bangladesh—a nine-corridor comprehensive integrated multimodal economic corridor network resembling the London Tube map. This paper presents the initial results of the research undertaken as an early step of that development effort. It recommends an integrated approach to developing economic corridors in Bangladesh that would provide a strong economic foundation for the construction of world-class infrastructure that, in turn, could support the growth of local enterprises and attract foreign investment. About the Asian Development Bank COnnecTING BANGLADESH: ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, NETWORK and technical assistance.

  • Bangladesh Land Port Authority
    Bangladesh Land Port Authority OVERVIEW Bangladesh Land Port Authority (BLPA) came into being under Bangladesh Sthala Bandar Kartipaksha Act, 2001 (Act 20 of 2001) to facilitate and improve import and export between Bangladesh and neighbouring countries. Since inception, Bangladesh Land Port Authority has been functioning under the Ministry of Shipping. So far 23 Land Customs Stations have been declared as Land Ports. Of the declared land ports, namely Benapole, Bhomra, Burimari, Akhaura, Nakugaon and Tamabil are being operated by own management of BLPA. On the other hand, Sonamosjid, Hili, Teknaf, Bibirbazar and Banglabandha Land Ports are being operated by Private Port Operators on BOT (Build, Operate and Transfer) basis. A Private Port Operator has also been appointed to develope and operate Birol Land Port. The development of the remaining 11 land ports (Darshona, Belonia, Gobrakura-Koroitoli, Ramgarh, Sonahat, Chilahati, Tegamukh, Daulatganj, Sheola, Dhanua Kamalpur, Balla) is under process. The total number of approved manpower for BLPA is 345. Vision: Facilitating export-import through land routes. Mission: Infrastructure development, efficient cargo handling, improvement of storage facilities, fostering public-private partnership for effective and better service delivery. Activities of BLPA: (1) Formulating policy for development, management expansion, operation and maintenance of all land ports; (2) Engaging operators for receiving, maintaining and dispatching cargoes at land ports; (3) Preparing schedule of tariffs, tolls, rates and fees chargeable to the port users having prior approval of the government; (4) Executing contracts with any person to fulfill the objectives of the Act. (5) Exchanging opinions and communicating with the related countries with the land ports and developing infrastructures as well as extenting trade through co-operation of the organizations concerned to national and international trades for developing and running the port activities smoothly.

    The Project on The Revision and Updating of the Strategic Transport Plan for Dhaka (RSTP) Final Report 12. FORMULATION OF THE URBAN TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN Development of the RSTP Urban Transportation Master Plan (1) Methodology The development of the RSTP Urban Transportation Master Plan adopted the following methodology (see Figure 12.1): (i) Elaborate the master plan network through a screen line analysis by comparing the network capacity and future demand. (ii) Identify necessary projects to meet future demand at the same time avoiding excessive capacity. (iii) Conducts economic evaluation of each project to give priority on projects with higher economic return. (iv) Conduct preliminary environmental assessment of every project and consider countermeasures against environmental problems, if any. (v) Make a final prioritization of all physical projects by examining their respective characteristics from different perspectives. (vi) Classify the projects into three categories, namely short-, medium- and long-term projects, by considering the financial constraints. (vii) Prepare an action plan for short-term projects together with “soft” measures. Mid-term Project Source: RSTP Study Team Figure 12.1 Development Procedure for the Master Plan 12-1 The Project on The Revision and Updating of the Strategic Transport Plan for Dhaka (RSTP) Final Report (2) Output of the Transportation Network Plan The RSTP urban transportation network plan was developed based on a review and a modification of the STP network plan. The main points of the modification or adoption of the STP network master plan are as follows: i. Harmonization with future urban structure, land-use plan and development of network plan.

  • Effect of Nitrogen and Boron on the Yield of Wheat Cv. Kanchan
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 3(2): 215-220, 2005 ISSN 1810-3030 Effect of nitrogen and boron on the yield of wheat cv. Kanchan M.M. Khan', A.K. Hasan2, M.H. Rashid2, and F. Ahrned3 Palli Karma Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), Sher-e-Banglanagar, Dhaka, 2Department of Agronomy and 3 Department of Agroforestry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh Abstract An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from January to April 2004 to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and boron on the yield of wheat cv. Kanchan. The treatments included four levels of nitrogen VIZ., 45, 60, 85 and 110 kg N ha-1 and four levels of boron viz., 0, 1, 2 and 3 kg B ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that Yield and yield contributing characters were influenced significantly by both levels of nitrogen and boron. Among the levels of nitrogen, 110 kg N ha-1 produced the highest grain (5.54 t ha-1)and straw (8.21 t ha-1 ) yields. The lowest grain (3.23 t ha-1) and straw (5.52 t ha-1) yields were observed with the application of 45 kg N ha-1. The highest grain (4.95 t ha-1)and straw (7.38 t ha 1) yields were produced With 3 kg B ha-1. The minimum grain (3.59 t ha-1)and straw (6.14 t ha-1)yields were found in the control treatment.

Synthesis, physical and spectroscopic data for all new compounds General considerations: All reactions were performed under an atmosphere of argon by using standard Schlenk or dry box techniques; solvents were dried over Na metal, K metal or CaH2. Reagents were of analytical grade, obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. 1H, 13C, 11B, and 27Al{1H} NMR spectra were obtained with a Bruker AV 300, Bruker AV 400 or Bruker AVIII 400MHz BBFO1, spectrometers at 298 K unless otherwise stated. NMR multiplicities are abbreviated as follows: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, sept = septet, m = multiplet, br = broad signal. Coupling constants J are given in Hz. Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra were obtained at the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory at the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, Nanyang Technological University. Melting points were measured with OptiMelt Stanford Research System. IR spectrum was measured using Shimadzu IR Prestige-21 FITR spectrometer. N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pivalimidoyl chloride [(DippN=C(tBu)Cl)] was synthesized according to literature report.[1] Synthesis of compound 1: 1 was generated in situ using a modified literature procedure.[2] Phenyl hydrazine (0.99 t mL, 10.0 mmol) and NEt3 (2.09 mL, 15.0 mmol) were added dropwise to a THF solution of [(DippN=C( Bu)Cl)] (2.80 g, 10.0 mmol).
