{"title":"New wonder materials - exciting technological horizon","authors":"Akm Azharul Islam","doi":"10.3329/jbas.v48i1.73005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3329/jbas.v48i1.73005","url":null,"abstract":"A significant advancement in materials science has been made with the 2D MXene nanomaterials that were etched from their parent 3D MAX phases. Layered ternary carbide, nitride, and boride compounds with the general formula Mn+1AXn (n=1,2, 3,4 ...) make up the 3D MAX phase materials, where A is an element of Group IIA or IIIA, M is an early transition metal, and X is either C, N, or B. MXene's chemical formula is Mn+1Xn, whereas that of the precursor is Mn+1AXn. The MAX materials have a distinct set of properties that are similar to those of metal and ceramic. They are helpful in the development of high-efficiency engines, thermal systems that can withstand damage, fatigue resistance enhancement, and high-temperature rigidity retention technologies. The 2D MXenes are potentially described as a „wonder material‟ in the class of nanomaterials. Because of their intriguing mechanical properties resulting from their atomically thin dimensions, as well as their unusual electrical and optical properties, these have become the focus of materials research in recent years. These nanomaterials are multilayer electrically conductive materials that are comparable to multilayer graphene. They have been discovered to be beneficial for a variety of applications, such as energy storage materials, composite reinforcement, chemical, environmental, and biological sensors, and electronic devices. The recent advancements in the use of nanomaterials in optoelectronics, field-effect transistors, transparent conductive electrodes and shielding against electromagnetic interference, energy storage, and other fields have been extensively documented. The potential of nanomaterials as a novel ceramic photothermal agent employed in cancer therapy has been revealed by a very recent study on Ti3C2 MXene. The same 2D nanomaterial can be used in water desalination and purification membranes since it has antibacterial qualities and is resistant to bio fouling. The MXene-based piezoresistive sensor is also capable of detecting weak pressures and the slight bending-release actions of humans. It can be applied to recover lost frictional energy from, say, walking or typing-related muscular contractions. Since MAX phases are precursors to MXenes, the former are valuable due to the growing interest in the latter. This review provides an overview of the literature, including the author's own work, from the groundbreaking MXene publication to the present. It provides information on the characteristics, synthesis, crystal structure, and current and future uses of the new wonder materials as well as the MAX phases.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

The Pauli-laden energy density functional (EDF) theory which results in NM potentials is also discussed. Equally good fits to the CS, T20, T21, and T22  data are obtained using both NM and MWS potentials. But  iT11data is only reproduced well using NM potentials in OM.

The K fertilizer was applied as (i) basal (full dose) and (ii) basal (50%) + top dress (50%) after the termination of a flood. The experiment's results showed that the WL negatively affected leaf greenness, water and chlorophyll (Chl) content, plant height, nodule and pod production, and soybean seed yield. However, the split application of K fertilizer minimized the detrimental effect of WL in the case of AGS383. This genotype produced taller plants, contained more Chl and water, higher nodules, bold seeds, and accumulated higher amounts of mineral nutrients in their grains under WL condition with K as basal + top dress after the termination of a flood. \u0000J.

In this study, multiple tools were employed to identify missense SNPs that are harmful to the protein itself and destabilize the interaction of this protein with tubulin subunits. After analyzing all 378 missense SNPs retrieved from the dbSNP database, thirteen were found to have harmful effects on the protein, which are L20P, R23L, G25W, G25R, D26E, I36N, G60E, P68S, G83R, T174I, L179R, R186G, V208E. Among these, four SNPs- T174I, L179R, R186G, and V208E were suggested to be significantly destabilizing for the interaction of the C-DC domain with microtubule, and three SNPs- L20P, D26E, and G83R for the interaction of N-DC domain with microtubule. Based on the total ΔΔG value, SNP R186G and L20P seem most destabilizing for the interaction of the C-DC and N-DC domains. These SNPs are found to affect the protein negatively by analysis using several computational tools. Genetic association and protein-protein interaction studies focused on these SNPs can reveal new findings about dyslexia or other neurodevelopmental disorders. J. Bangladesh Acad.

Results from the adsorption pH envelope experiments show that while the adsorption of Cr(III) increases with increasing pH, the adsorption of Cr(VI) decreases as the pH rises. These two distinct pH envelope patterns for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) suggest that the adsorption processes are primarily driven by the electrostatic force of attractions followed by the ligand exchange process. Findings from the adsorption isotherm experiments demonstrate that chromium binding to the adsorbent surface is better described by the Freundlich model than the Langmuir model, underscoring the presence of multiple surface binding sites. The study highlights the significance of identifying dominant chromium species before they are subjected to adsorptive removal from contaminated waters.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

This study employed a direct observations-based approach to examine the diversity and community structure of wildlife in four protected deciduous national parks (Ramsagar, Birganj, Singra, and Nawabganj) in the northern Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. This study assessed the wildlife assemblage structures by measuring α diversity and β diversity. This research recorded a total of 159 wildlife species under 29 orders. Singra National Park displayed the highest species richness (N=73) and was found to be more diverse (H=3.36 ± 0.16) and even in distribution (J=0.9 ± 0.01). Analysis of Similarity test showed significant differences across all study sites (R=0.5216; p=0.0001). Whittaker Plot ranked Dendrocygna javanica as dominating, species making the community uneven. We found significant differences in species richness among seasons (F2, 9=17.8, p=0.0001). For example, winter and rainy seasons were significantly richer over summer.

The on-farm experiment was conducted at Dumki Upazila, Patuakhali district of Bangladesh, during T. Aman rice season 2020. The three replicated randomized complete block design was used in the experiment. There were eight treatments with different rates of nitrogen, e.g., control (no nitrogen fertilizer), 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, and 126 kg N ha-1, which was equivalent to 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140% of the current recommended rate, respectively. The test variety of rice was BR23. An increase in nitrogen rates progressively increased the grain yield of rice. The highest yield of 5.04 t ha-1 was found in 54 kg N ha-1 rate. However, using a quadratic equation, the most optimum rate was 75 kg N ha-1, 17% lower than the current recommendation. Nitrogen amendment could increase T. Aman rice grain yield by only 35% over control under tidal water flooded conditions. The agronomic efficiency, recovery efficiency, and physiological efficiency of nitrogen were higher in lower rates of N and gradually decreased with the increase of the rate of N application. The present study recommends 75 kg N ha-1 for cultivating T. Aman rice (BR23) in tidal water flooded the south coastal ecosystem of Bangladesh.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.
