The experiment was laid out as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications comprising seven manure-fertilizer treatments. The results showed that the different levels of cow dung and fertilizers significantly influenced mungbean growth parameters and seed yield. The highest plant height (48.2 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (10.3), number of branches plant-1 (3.9), maximum number of pods plant-1 (19.3), seeds pod-1 (10.4), 1000-seed weight (43.4g), and the highest seed yield (1.42 t ha-1) were obtained from the application of 80% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) plus 20% cow dung. It is concluded that applying 20% cow dung (1.2 t ha-1) coupled with 80% of the recommended amount of fertilizers together produced superior results for the growth and yield of mungbean compared to applying fertilizer or cow dung alone.\u0000J.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the growth, reproductive characteristics, yield and yield components of four similar durated mungbean genotypes, namely BARI Mung-2, Binamoog-2, MB-29, and MB-43. At most of the growth stages, the mutant MB-29 showed superiority in terms of growth parameters such as total dry matter, leaf area index, absolute growth rate, relative growth rate, and net assimilation rate whilst MB-43 showed the inferiority. Furthermore, MB-29 outperformed the other three genotypes in yield attributing features, resulting in a higher seed yield than the other three genotypes. In comparison, the MB-43 mutant showed the lowest value for the yield parameters. The seed yield correlated positively and significantly with leaf area, total dry matter, absolute growth rate, and number of pods plant-1.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

This study performed 120-day cage grow-out trials with densities of 50, 75, and 100 tilapia m-3 under three replications with an average initial weight of 28.92±8.37g per juvenile fish. The monthly water quality parameters (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity and hardness, ammonia-N and Nitrite-N) in the cage installation water area of the River Dakatia were found to be suitable for tilapia cage culture. The monthly average weight gain was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in 50 tilapia m-3 stocking density than in the other two stocking densities tested. The mean final weight and specific growth rate were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in 50 tilapia m-3 stocking densitythan the other two stocking densities. Significantly (p < 0.05) higher survival (97.92%) was found in the 50 tilapia m-3 stocking density group and followed by 86.74% and 84.39% in the 75 and 100 tilapia m-3 stocking densities, respectively. Consequently, the monthly relative and specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in 50 tilapia m-3 stocking density fishes for the first, third, and fourth months. Gross production was comparable between 50 and 75 tilapia m-3 stocking densities but was significantly (p < 0.05) better than 100 m-3 stocking density. Net production was significantly (p < 0.05) higher at 50 tilapia m-3 stocking density group than those of 75 and 100 tilapia m-3 stocking densities. The best feed conversion ratio (1.60) was in the 50 tilapia m-3 stocking density group (p < 0.05) than those of 1.87 and 2.44 for the stocking of 75 and 100 tilapia m-3, respectively. Benefit-cost ratio and net profit were significantly (p < 0.05) better at 50 and 75 tilapia m-3 than at 100 tilapia m-3 stocking density. Therefore, considering maximum outputs, benefits, and performances, we recommend stocking density at 50 mono-sex tilapia m-3 for the best growth, cost-effective production, and highest-economic return from 120 days of grow-out net cages in the riverine culture system.\u0000J.

The fundamental molecular clock, NPAS2 (Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 2), generates and regulates mammalian circadian rhythms. Various diseases have been linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NPAS2. In this study, several computational approaches have been employed to predict the SNPs' functional and structural consequences and investigate the deleterious roles of nsSNPs. Two deleterious nsSNPs (F190L and S105I) were found with predicted functions linking to disease. Alongside, from the obtained ConSurf result, Q73, E61, K51, E167, L317, and R514 were expected as highly conserved and exposed, while T114, T328, and C299 were predicted as highly conserved and buried. However, to establish their role in disease pathogenesis, further studies need to be done on the deleterious mutations of the NPAS2 gene.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

In this paper, the motivation of our work is to establish a new methodology to select an object from an inexact multiobserver data with the idea of intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory.

The novelty of this work includes a heated cone whose orientation is varied at different angles. Calculations are performed for Prandtl number Pr = 0.71; Rayleigh number Ra = 10, 1000, and 100000; and Hartmann number Ha = 0, 50, and 100. The results are illustrated with streamlines, isotherms, and other relevant plots. It is observed that the influence of Ha becomes more noticeable with increasing Ra. Ha affects the flow by retarding the fluid movement and thus affects convective heat transfer. It is also observed that the cone orientation influences both fluid circulation and heat transfer. At high Ra, the vertical orientation of the cone resulted in lower heat flux than the left/right orientations. Also, under the same condition, the system remains cooler with the vertical cone at lower Ha, but becomes hotter after a certain value of Ha. These findings have practical design implications.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

Both the genome and RNA-seq data of G. lineata revealed the presence of epothilone gene clusters. In silico mining using NaPDoS (Natural Product Domain Seeker) identified four genes matching with the epothilone gene cluster (Epo D). Epothilone was extracted from the extracellular extract of this fungus using XAD-16 resin. Different analytical techniques including thin layer chromatography (TLC), reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and mass spectrometry (MS) were used to identify and characterize epothilone following its extraction. TLC bands were visible at 365 nm for both standard epothilone B and samples with identical Rf values. Extracted epothilone bands from the TLC plate were further purified using RP-HPLC. Using a linear gradient system with methanol and 0.1% formic acid, LC-MS spectroscopy was done with RP-HPLC purified fraction. The monoisotopic mass of epothilone (M+H+) = 508.1 Da was present in the mass chromatogram. The product ions of 508.1 Da were found with the m/z values at 320.2 Da, and 420.2 Da, the typical MS2 fragments for standard epothilone B. This finding suggests that the fungal endophyte, G. lineata can be a potential source of epothilone B.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

The valence of cerium at a certain high pressure is estimated by comparing the experimentally observed unit cell volume and the calculated unit cell volume of stable trivalent cerium ion in the compound. The change in unit cell volume with pressure is estimated by employing the Birch equation of state. It is found that the valence of Ce in the CeX is significantly influenced by both the applied pressure as well as the chemical environment around the Ce ion.\u0000J. Bangladesh Acad.

The formed complexes were then evaluated for antimicrobial activity. The newly formed two complexes were assessed against nine bacterial and one fungal strain, where gemifloxacin (30 µg/disc) was used as a reference standard. The new complexes showed better activity than the standard reference drug against Klebsiella pneumoniae among nine bacterial strains. But two bacterial species, Acinetobacter lwoffii and Enterococcus faecium, and the fungal strain Candida albicans showed complete resistance to the newly synthesized complexes and the reference standard.  The drug protein interaction with the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was also studied.
