The study was conducted between December 2014 and January 2018 and aimed to document butterfly species in the area. A total of 266 butterfly species belong to 149 genera and 6 families (Papilionidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Lycaenidae, Hesperiidae, and Riodinidae) were recorded. The Lycaenidae family exhibited the highest species richness, comprising 33.08% (n = 88) of the recorded species, while the Riodinidae family was the least prevalent, representing 0.38% (n = 1) of the species. In this study, the butterfly species recorded revealed varying conservation status according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature Bangladesh assessment, with 26.69% listed as Endangered, 30.08% Least Concern, 23.68% Vulnerable, 1.50% Data Deficient, and 18.05% Not Evaluated. These findings offer crucial insights for future butterfly research and conservation in the Adampur forest beat.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

Both plants had Complex Chromocenter interphase nuclei and Continuous prophase chromosomes. O. corniculata was discovered to have 2n=48 chromosomes and 2n=30 in O. triangularis. The chromosomal length range was 0.82±0.02-1.61±0.02 in O. corniculata and 1.02±0.02- 2.52±0.03 in O. triangularis. The total length of the 2n chromosome complement was 53.52±1.19 and 46.76±0.41 for O. corniculate and O. triangular, respectively. The two species differed in centromeric formulas, such as 48m for O. corniculata and 28m+2sm for O. triangularis. In their karyotype, no steady decrease in chromosomal length was seen. These characteristics showed that O. corniculata and O. triangularis could be considered primitive species. Therefore, compiling the cytogenetic features will be helpful to ensure the genuine identification and characterization of the two medicinally important Oxalis species.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

However, the purification yield decreased to 64.35% when utilizing a combination of acid-treated clay and activated charcoal. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of alkanes and alkenes in the purified oil. The NMR and GC-MS analysis identified the presence of linear and branched alkanes and alkenes, as well as substituted-benzene compounds in the purified oil. The density of waste engine oil and the corresponding purified oil was determined to be 0.929 g/mL and 0.825 g/mL, respectively. After purification, the kinematic viscosity decreased from 192 mm2/sec to 70 mm2/sec at 40 °C.

The cyclic voltammograms were highly sensitive to solution pH exhibiting well-defined oxidation and reduction peaks within the pH range of 1.76 to 2.29. The electrochemical potentials and currents indicate the involvement of a set of reactions responsible for the observed voltammograms. The diquinoid of N, N, N’, N’- tetramethylbenzidine was formed, which was reduced to N, N, N’, N’- tetramethylbenzidine. The presence of CTAB profoundly influenced the electrochemical behavior, and responses were found to depend on the dissolved states of CTAB. The electrochemical process was diffusion-controlled and followed a chemical-electrochemical-chemical (CEC) mechanism.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

Infections of fishes, along with the continuously elevated emergence of microbial resistance, are the major drawbacks to the massive milestone forward. This investigation aimed to reveal the antimicrobial resistance patterns of the pathogens associated with diverse fish infections. According to Bergey's manual of bacteriological classification, isolated pathogens were provisionally identified at genera levels based on their cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. The Kirby-Bauer (Cockerill and CLSI, 2013) disc diffusion method was exploited to determine the antimicrobial resistance. Pathogenic growths were found in 150 (83.34%) out of 180 samples by Aeromonas spp. (39.33%), Vibrio spp. (16.67%), Flavobacter spp. (14.67%), Edwardsiell spp (12.67%), Pseudomonas spp. (9.33%), Streptococcus spp. (5.55%), and Citrobacter spp. (2%) in Shing (Heteropneustes spp.), Pangus (Pangasius spp.), Pabda (Ompok spp.), Gulsha (Mystus cavasius), Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), Koi (Cyprinus spp.), Magur (Clarias batrachus), and Tengra (Mystus tengara). Pathogens showed resistance against Amoxicillin (136/150; 90.67%), Chlortetracycline (135/150; 90%), and Erythromycin (134/150; 89.33%), whereas Levofloxacin (138/150; 92%), Ciprofloxacin (123/150; 82%), Neomycin (120/150; 80%), and Colistin (117/150; 78%), exhibited potential effectiveness. A huge frequency of 60% (90 out of 150) of pathogens exhibited as high as 21 antimicrobial resistance patterns towards a minimum of 4 antibiotics and a maximum of 8 antibiotics, whereas Aeromonas spp. isolates were the most prominent. The investigation would provide substantial guidance to veterinarians and animal husbandmen involved in fish cultivation to design therapeutics against infections. Regular and vigorous investigation and implementation of the acquired knowledge would be the only possible solution to halt the rapid increase of antimicrobial resistance.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

Results revealed that plant height gradually reduced with the rising levels of TIBA but non-significantly. The application of 75 ppm TIBA resulted in the highest number of leaves and maximum dry weight of leaves and stems, whereas the dry weight of leaves was significantly higher than that of the control. Plants treated with 50 ppm TIBA resulted in maximum dry weight of roots, absolute growth rate, and relative growth rate, but statistically, they were at par with the rest of the treatments. The total number of cobs per plant was noted to be the highest at 50 ppm, followed by 75 ppm TIBA. Application of 75 ppm TIBA produced the highest fresh (127.10 g) and dry (111.51 g) weight of cobs, the longest cob (17.07 cm), the maximum number of kernels per row (31.81) and cob (408.17), dry weight of tassel (3.75 g), yield per plant (107.07 g) yield per hectare (7138.08 kg) and harvest index (89.72%). Significantly higher values were noted in the case of fresh and dry weight of cobs, number of kernels per cob, yield per plant, and yield per hectare. Yield per plant due to 75 ppm TIBA increased by 65.72% over control. Pigment contents of leaves responded positively following most of the TIBA treatments except chl. a content at the tassel initiation stage. Positive responses of TIBA in the protein content of leaves were also obtained in most cases. The maximum protein content of seeds was recorded from 50 ppm (94.88 mg/g) followed by 75 ppm (83.94 mg/g) TIBA but with a similar statistical identity. Among five treatments, 75 ppm TIBA produced better stimulations.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

All compounds (Schiff bases and β- lactams) were synthesized for comparison research using conventional and microwave techniques. The microwave approach has been found to reduce reaction time and boost yield drastically. Analysis combining elemental (C, H, and N) and spectroscopic approaches (NMR, IR, and UV) have been applied to ensure the Schiff bases constitution and corresponding β-lactams constitution.
