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.

The Plant Aglaonema hookerianum Schott In this study we investigated the fungal endophyte Fusarium solani, isolated from petiole of Aglaonema hookerianum Schott (Family:Araceae) growing in the forest of Sylhet and Chittagong Hill tracks of Bangladesh.It is a herb, stem erect, 40-50 cm or more tall, 1.5-2.0 cm thick, internodes 1.5-3.0 cm long. Leaves petiolate, petiole up to 24 cm long and grows in the shady areas of deep forest. A large number of tribal populations like Chakma, Marma, Murong, Tongchongya, Tripura, Chak, Khasia, Rheyang, Rakhain, Khumietc live as forest inhabitants in the remote areas throughout Sylhet and the Chittagong Hill Tracts, where there is no or poor modern medical systems of health care. The majority of them are dependent on the traditional system of treatment, which includes various indigenous medicinal plants of those areas [1]. A. hookerianum,locally known as Habinishak, is used by the mainstream traditional practitioners of Sylhet district for the treatment of hemorrhoids and arthritis.

  • Migration of Sylhetis to the United Kingdom: an Exploration
    Migration of Sylhetis to the United Kingdom: An Exploration –Tulshi Kumar Das1 ABSTRACT Migration of Sylhetis to the UK is an age-old tradition. There are different reasons identified by many researchers for this trend of migration. The present study deals with a number of issues like demographic profile of migrants, historical background of migration, language and identity of Sylheti migrants, their socioeconomic problems and the situation of entrepreneurship and remittance in Sylhet region. The article is based on data collected from secondary sources. It shows that there is a gradual increase of Sylheti migrants in the UK, especially in London, from nineteenth century to date. Travel between Sylhet and Britain is found out in nineteenth century itself when both the places were connected to each other through imperial trading routes from Kolkata. Now more than 2.1% of total population living in London are Bengali migrants. Sylheti migrants seem to be sensitive for mostly twin identity, British Bengali and Bengali as well. They also value their Sylheti identity to some extent. The migrants face many socioeconomic problems like unemployment, ill health, lack of education etc. Majority of the migrants are employed in hotels, restaurants, catering services and textile industries. Self employment is common among the migrants; and Bengali women’s participation in the labor market is frustrating. The study also reveals that 65% of Bengali migrants in the UK live below poverty line. Enterprise development on the basis of remittances did not take place in Sylhet region; and remittances are mostly used in unproductive sectors. INTRODUCTION Migration generally means displacement of the people from one place to another.

  • Cropping Systems and Land Use in Sylhet Region
    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 273-288, 2017 Cropping Systems and Land Use in Sylhet Region M A Muttaleb1*, S M Shahidullah1, M Nasim1 and A Saha1 ABSTRACT Towards the sustainable food security for a particular area, the policymakers, researchers, extension and development agents need the detailed information of cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity. Sylhet, a potential region of enormous potentiality of growing crops across the haor area lying below the northeastern Himalyan foothills experience the highest rainfall in the world to make the basin prone to flashflood. That is why, a study was conducted in the region considering all the upazillas during 2016 using the pretested semi-structured questionnaire and validated by appropriate informants with a view to documenting the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity in the region. As per the study the region is dominated by the rice based cropping pattern. The non-rice based cropping pattern are either few or the area under those cropping patterns are not enough to satisfy the non-rice food requirement of people of the region. Beside these, the cropping patterns and crop diversity appeared as below the expected level. Therefore, much thrust is needed to initiate research and development activities to diversify the single or double-cropped cropping pattern with the introduction of appropriate crops and crop varieties even other non-crop agricultural commodities. Key words: Cropping pattern, land use intensity, diversity index and Sylhet basin INTRODUCTION agricultural region is a complex region with a multitude of diverse micro-environments (FAO, The cropping pattern is an important indicator 1988) with variable landscape ranged from hills of agricultural land use.

In this reality, Upazila system, as an intermediate tier local government unit, is reestablished under the Upazila Parishad Act 2009. This Act is the basis of the formation and function of the Upazila Parishad. In this study, survey method has been applied to primary data collection from two upazila (Sylhet Sadar Upazila and Kanaighat Upazila) in Sylhet district. The study finds that the existing upazila parishad activities do not meet the demand of the people. Citizen’s trust on the Upazila Parishad is very low. The study also finds some other challenges, including unskilled manpower, proper planning and a lack of financial resouces. Moreover, the officials are not professional and their behaviors are not good while performing their duties.
