Shofiqul Islam1* and Mohammad Moinul Hossain2 ,Md Aminul Islam3 1Department of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet 3114 Bangladesh 2Geophysical Division, Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (BAPEX), Dhaka, Bangladesh 3Department of Petroleum Geoscience, Faculty of Science Universiti Brunei Darussalam Jalan Tungku Link Gadong BE1410, Negara Brunei Darussalam Abstract Fenchuganj Gas Field is located in the Surma Basin of Bangladesh and characterized by water-drive gas field. In the reservoir condition, water saturation increases as gas production rise. The fluid properties of the four individual gas zones of this reservoir at the present condition and at the gas depleted condition should be addressed with proper prediction. In this paper, we characterize the total reservoir with special emphasis on Upper Gas Zone and New Gas Zone I which are compared with other two gas zones (New Gas Zone III and New Gas Zone II) representing some modeling results (has done before by these authors) which evidences that the pore fluids have a significant effect on the acoustic impedance and the Poisson’s ratio of the reservoir rock which is directly correlated with seismic amplitudes at constant pressure with Batzle-Wang model and Gassman-Boit models. -

Saifullah Bin Aziz a, Neaz A. Hasan b, Md. Mostafizur Rahman Mondol a, Md. Mehedi Alam b, Mohammad Mahfujul Haque b,* a Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh b Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This study evaluates changes in fish species diversity over time in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland Haor in Bangladesh, and the factors affecting this diversity. Fish species diversity data were collected from fishers using Fish species diversity participatory rural appraisal tools and the change in the fish species diversity was determined using Shannon- Fishers Wiener, Margalef's Richness and Pielou's Evenness indices. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted Principal component analysis with a dataset of 150 fishers survey to characterize the major factors responsible for the reduction of fish species Climate change fi Anthropogenic activity diversity. Out of 63 sh species, 83% of them were under the available category in 2008 which decreased to 51% in 2018. Fish species diversity indices for all 12 taxonomic orders in 2008 declined remarkably in 2018. The first PCA (climatic change) responsible for the reduced fish species diversity explained 24.05% of the variance and consisted of erratic rainfall (positive correlation coefficient 0.680), heavy rainfall (À0.544), temperature fluctu- ation (0.561), and beel siltation (0.503). The second PCA was anthropogenic activity, including the use of harmful fishing gear (0.702), application of urea to harvest fish (0.673), drying beels annually (0.531), and overfishing (0.513). -

Original Research Article an Economic Analysis of Agar-Wood
1 Original Research Article 2 3 An Economic Analysis of Agar-wood 4 Production in North-eastern Bangladesh 5 6 7 . 8 ABSTRACT 9 The present study was carried out to examine the economics of agar-wood production and assess the financial viability of agar plantations in north-eastern Bangladesh (Barlekha Upazila, Moulvibazar District). Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire administered on 30 agar farmers using purposive sampling technique during the months of September, 2017. The total cost of agar-wood production was found BDT 1450571 per acre and BDT 1612 per agar tree. The net return was BDT 1892929 per acre and BDT 2103 per agar tree, and undiscounted BCR considering total cost was 2.30. Financial viability of 1 acre of agar-wood plantations for the period of 12 years was found feasible with respect to net present value (NPV) BDT 552327, discounted benefit cost ratio (BCR) 2.07, internal rate of return (IRR) 23.7 per cent. Sensitivity analysis also suggested the viability of agar-wood production in different situations. The study revealed that agar-wood production is a highly feasible enterprise from which the farmers can enjoy economic benefits. 10 11 Keywords: Benefit cost ratio; net present value; internal rate of return; sensitivity analysis; 12 agar-wood. 13 14 1. INTRODUCTION 15 16 The agar tree (Aquilaria malaccensis) is one of 15 tree species in the Indo-Malaysian genus 17 Aquilaria of the Thymelaeaceae family [1]. It is a large evergreen tree, growing over 15-40 18 meters tall and 0.6-2.5 meters in diameter, and has white flowers [2]. -

THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice. -

Executive Summary English
Environmental Impact Assessment Report for the proposed Exploration, Development and production in 5 onshore PML blocks in Assam Arakan Fold Belt (AAFB), Assam & Assam Arakan (A & AA) Basin, Cachar District and Karimganj District, Assam Executive Summary 1.0 INTRODUCTION Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is the largest crude oil and natural gas producer in India, contributing around seventy five percent to Indian domestic production. Crude oil is the raw material used by downstream companies like IOC, BPCL, and HPCL (subsidiary of ONGC) to produce petroleum products like Petrol, Diesel, Kerosene, Naphtha, and Cooking Gas-LPG. ONGC has proposed exploration, development and production activities in the envisaged prospects for hydrocarbon falling in 5 PML blocks identified through seismic surveys. The PML blocks lie within the “Assam Arakan Fold Belt” (AAFB) falls in the Assam-Arakan Basin, Cachar and Karimganj Districts, Assam. The area covered in PML blocks identified as project area is presented below: Block Name Area (Sq. Average Depth (meter) Km) Banskandi PML 15.0 2500-4000 During exploration stage Bhubandar PML 6.0 & 2,500 m for development wells. Sector VC PML 497.0 Adamtila PML 4.0 Adamtila Extension PML 148.0 1.1 Project Location Study area of the project is divided into two separate units based on the relative distance between and nearness of PML blocks as well as nearest IMD meteorological stations. While, Banskandi PML, Bhubandar PML and Sector VC PML are covered in one unit (Study Area-I) (covered in Cachar District); Adamtila and Adamtila Extension PML are covered in another unit (Study Area-II) (covered in Karimganj District).
