The performance of Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors is largely deteriorated due to the poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Brillouin gain spectra (BGSs) collected from the BOTDA experiment. The fast monitoring of distributed temperature using BOTDA sensors is also vital for many longdistant applications. To cope with these requirements, this paper proposes total variation denoising (TVD) and Euclidean distance-based pattern recognition (TEPR) for high-performance BOTDA sensors. The performances of TEPR are analyzed explicitly, and rigorous comparisons have been made with traditional nonlinear least squares fitting (NLSF). The experimentally demonstrated results signify that the proposed TEPR can improve the measurement uncertainty by up to ~55% compared to NLSF without worsening the experimental spatial resolution. The signal processing for using TEPR is also ~4 times faster than that for using NLSF. Hence, the proposed technique is an efficient and reliable alternative for the fast and accurate monitoring of distributed temperature in BOTDA sensors. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 46(2); 193-202: December 2022

Bloodstream infections (BSI) are serious, life-threatening, and critical clinical conditions with high global human morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to determine the Gram-negative bacterial profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of acute bloodstream infections in rural patients. Three hundred forty-six blood samples were collected and analyzed with the BD BactecTM FX40 automated culture system, selective media culture, and biochemical parameters. Finally, antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method. The most common age group affected out of 51 cases was 41-60 years, with 20 patients (39.22%), and 1-15 years, with 2 patients (3.92%). Male patients were more susceptible (66.67%) than female patients. Among the isolates, E. coli was the most common, with 23 cases (45.1%); Cephradine was the most resistant antibiotic, and Imipenem was the most sensitive. Multiple drug-resistant pathogens were one of the most notable findings in our work. Our study will surely provide the best guide for properly treating antibacterial-resistant bacterial diseases and minimizing their critical mortality and morbidity. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 46(2); 185-191: December 2022

To understand the responsive nature to excess water, a pot experiment was conducted at different growth stages of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. cv. BARI Til-4). The waterlogging stress at each stage was set to three durations, viz. 2, 4, and 6 days. Twelve different treatment combinations were replicated three times and arranged in a completely randomized design. Different morpho-physiological and yield parameters were measured after the completion of the longest stress duration (6 days). The data revealed that sesame is vulnerable to excess water conditions, and the sensitivity is positively correlated with the stress duration. Plant biomass, leaf area, SPAD value, and the yield attributes recorded are observed to be declined with the increment of stress duration. Another important finding is that among the three growth stages of sesame, the reproductive stage is the most sensitive stage, which hardly withstands waterlogging. the stress at the vegetative stage affect yield parameters minimally.

This paper proposes a new version of the Reve’s puzzle, allowing at most one violation of the “divine rule”. Letting S(n) be the minimum number of moves required to solve the problem with n(³ 1) discs, an scheme is given to find the dynamic programming equation satisfied by S(n). A closed- form expression of S(n) is derived. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 46(2); 213-217 December 2022

Gemifloxacin mesylate is a synthetic fluoroquinolone derived antimicrobial agent. Two metal complexes of gemifloxacin mesylate were synthesized viz. gemifloxacin-Fe and gemifloxacin-Zn. The formed complexes were characterized by using TLC, TGA and FT-IR spectra analyses. 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. The interaction mechanism was explored, suggesting that gemifloxacin and its Zn (II) complex interact with BSA via a static process while the Fe (II) complex interacts via a dynamic process and the lower Ksv value also indicated that drug -BSA complexes were formed in ground-state.

In this document paper, we offer the concepts of some notions of Hausdorff (T2 ) property in intuitionistic fuzzy bitopological spaces. We demonstrate that each of them notion satisfies good extension property. We also establish that these notions satisfy hereditary properties. We observe that all the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy Hausdorff bitopological spaces are preserved under one-one, onto, fuzzy mappings. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 48(1); 51-59: June 2024

Two medicinal plants, O. corniculata and O. triangularis, were investigated cytogenetically for proper characterization. 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. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 48(1); 135-140: June 2024

We have studied the structural and magnetic properties of Zn­1-xFexTe thin films grown under Te-rich flux condition with almost same Fe composition, x = 1.3%, on both undoped and nitrogen (N) acceptor doped ZnTe buffer layer by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Structural analysis by XRD and XAFS reveals that Zn­0.987Fe0.013Te films are mainly composed of pure diluted phase with substitutional Fe atoms on the Zn-site in the zinc-blende (ZB) ZnTe in both cases. However, the magnetization measurement using SQUID shows distinctly different magnetic properties among these films; a linear dependence of magnetization on magnetic field (M-H), typical of van-Vleck paramagnetic behavior of Zn­0.987Fe0.013Te film grown over undoped ZnTe turns into ordinary paramagnetic behavior with S-shape M-H curve for film grown on N-doped ZnTe buffer layer, [N] ≈ 1020 cm-3 which may reflect the impact of interfacial holes provided by N-acceptors on the valence state of substitutional Fe.

The purification of waste engine oil was conducted utilizing locally available clay in three different forms: raw, acid-treated, and a mixture of clay with activated charcoal. A 72.6% and 70.12% purification efficiency has been achieved when employing raw and acid-treated clay, respectively. 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 AAS analysis revealed the presence of 13.28 mg/L of lead (Pb) and 91.56 mg/L of chromium (Cr) in the waste engine oil, which significantly decreased to 0.02 mg/L and 0.037 mg/L, respectively, after purification with clay mixed with activated charcoal.
