A Glass of Hope in 38°C

When the temperature in Brahmanbaria was 38 degrees Celsius on 14th May 2025, the city was scorching in the sun, and people were exhausted. People are fighting the heat wave in the markets, on the roads, and at work.

In such a difficult situation, the dedicated volunteers of Volunteers for Bangladesh (VBD), Brahmanbaria district, of which I was a part, came forward to provide some relief to the pedestrians.
Mukto-monch, May 11, 2025
Standing at various points in the city, we hand out glasses of cold sherbet to thousands of passersby. Every sip of the 300 liters of sherbet brings a drop of peace, a little love.

This humanitarian initiative brings life to the common people. Everyone spontaneously applauds such a heart-touching act.

Sustainability in Textile Manufacturing: Deepening Insights into Bangladesh’s RMG Sector

  The Ready-Made Garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh has charted remarkable export growth—USD 31.5 billion in 2021, accounting for over 80 % of national exports—yet it faces acute resource constraints, environmental hazards, and social equity challenges. The sector’s average water footprint (125–250 L/kg of fabric) and carbon intensity (~1.5 kg CO₂e/kg) underscore the imperative for systemic sustainability interventions that transcend compliance and embed circularity at every stage of production [1], [2], [13]. Bangladesh’s textile clusters lie within some of the world’s most water-stressed basins. Traditional dye houses discharge effluents with biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) upwards of 500 mg/L, far exceeding national standards. Recent pilots deploying digital flow meters and real-time water quality sensors have achieved 35 % reductions in freshwater intake and a 50 % drop in effluent loads by optimizing batch scheduling and implementing closed-loop rinse systems [1], [11]. Sc...

Piezoelectric Effect and Piezoelectric Materials

Piezoelectricity is a reversible phenomenon wherein certain materials generate an electric charge under mechanical stress and deform under an electric field. This article explores the core principles of piezoelectricity, commonly used materials, and characterization methods. Emphasis is placed on practical applications ranging from sensors and actuators to biomedical and nanotechnology fields. The discussion integrates both traditional piezoceramics like PZT and emerging nanostructures, underscoring their roles in modern engineering and science. Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical stress into electrical energy and vice versa. This unique property finds use in a wide range of technologies, including oscillators, actuators, and medical sensors. The phenomenon is inherent in certain crystals, ceramics, polymers, and biological materials.

Uster Evenness Tester Report Analysis (USTER TESTER 6)

Spun yarn produced in the conventional spinning processes, even under the best conditions, has a certain minimum irregularity. Because: (i) t he number of fibers in the yarn cross-section is not constant, and (ii) i n contrast to synthetic staple fibers, natural fibers have variations in their fineness. So, ultimately, yarn thickness varies even when the number of fibers in the cross section remains the same.  Uster Evenness Tester is used to determine the index of irregularity of a yarn. Following the capacitive measuring principle, it measures the capacitance of the materials that pass through the capacitor electrodes of the tester.   Figure 1: Irregularity measuring principle of an evenness tester. Uster tester mainly determines the mass variation of fiber assembly using the capacitive measuring principle. This mass variation provides a mass diagram that is valuable for the detection of the following faults of a yarn. Random & seldom occurring events Long-term vari...
