Production potential of olive cultivars (Frontoio, Manzanilla, Ottobratica, Pendolino and Picual) at different maturity stages (Lemon green, Semi-ripe and Ripe) was investigated and propagation techniques through cutting and air-layering were optimized during 2014 and 2015 under irrigation condition at Olive Model Farm Sangbhatti, Mardan-Pakistan. Flowering date was taken as base line for phonological attributes. Cultivar Pendolino started early flowers opening on 12th April and took more days (9.50) upto fruit set, while less days (6.33), started from 18th April were noted for Ottobratica. Manzanilla and Picual attained lemon green maturity for harvesting after 193.50 (25th October) and 192 (22nd October) days respectively, while 202.17 (2nd November) and 201.33 (1st November) days were taken by these cultivars to reach semi ripe stage and 214.17 and 210 days to ripe stage of harvesting respectively. Frontoio, Ottobratica and Pendolino attained semi ripe stage after 180.17 (11th October), 184.50 (20th October) and 193 (22nd October) days respectively, while 188 (19th October), 195 (30th October) and 203.67 (2nd November) days were taken by these cultivars to attain ripe stage of harvesting. The cultivar Manzanilla produced heavy (4.34 g) fruits; however large sized (4.48 cm3) fruits having more pulp:stone (4.94) were yielded by Picual. The oil extracted from Manzanilla cultivar has less peroxide value (3.21 meq kg-1), more Phenol (616.67 mg kg-1) and chlorophyll (4.58 mg L-1). High fruit yield (35.81 kg tree-1) with more oil percentage (14.66%), less free fatty acid (0.43%) and more carotene (2.70 mg L-1) were determined in the oil extracted from fruits of Frontoio. The values of the quality attributes were within the range of IOC trade standards (IOC, 2003) of extra virgin olive oil category, with the exception of free fatty acid (%) recorded in the oil extracted from fruits of Ottobratica, harvested at ripe stage of maturity that fulfilled the requirement of virgin category. Yield and yield components enhanced from lemon green to semi-ripe and ripe stage of harvesting. Free fatty acid (0.25%) and peroxide value (3.04 meq kg-1) were lower and total phenols were higher (530 mg kg-1) in the oil extracted at semi-ripe stage, while high free fatty acid (1.50%), peroxide value (4.43 meq kg-1) and low phenol (361.67 mg kg-1) were determined in the oil extracted from fruits harvested at ripe stage. The chlorophyll and carotenoids contents significantly decreased with fruit ripening ranged from 4.99 to 2.41 mg L-1 and 3.17 to 1.49 mg L-1 respectively from lemon green to ripe stages of harvesting. The multiplication of olive cultivars (Frontoio, Manzanilla, Ottobratica, Pendolino and Picual) through cuttings and air-layering was optimized in sequential experiments. Semi hardwood cutting proved to be the root generative type. The cuttings of Frontoio produced highest number of roots (10.56) and root length (6.61cm), followed by the cuttings of cultivar Manzanilla that generated 8.17 numbers of roots with 6.06 cm length, while less number of roots (5.50) was produced by cuttings taken from cultivar Pendolino. The sapling of Ottobratica produced through cuttings accomplished 23.64% survival, followed by survival percentage (19.48 and 15.7%) noted in the saplings of cultivar Manzanilla and Frontoio respectively, while less survival percentage (9.73%) recorded in saplings of Pendolino. The semi hardwood cuttings of olive cultivars treated with 3000 ppm IBA solution enhanced rooting. The cuttings of Frontoio produced maximum number of roots (14.50), root length and weight (8.12 cm and 5.53 g respectively), followed by cuttings of Manzanilla which generated 12.04 number of roots with 7.19 cm length while less number of roots (8.57), root length and thickness (4.33 cm and 3.94 mm, respectively) were produced by Pendolino. Manzanilla attained 43.05% survival followed by Frontoio with 40.38 % survival, while less survival (23.24 %) was recorded in plants of Pendolino. The time interval of mid August proved to be most favorable time for air-layering in terms of rooting percentage (42.40 %), number of roots (4.37), root length (4.35 cm), weight (1.68 g), number of re-sprout (3.67) and shoot length (5.61 cm) while late and early layering responded poorly to all the studied attributes. The layering treated with 2000 ppm took less days (35.13) to root appearance, accomplished 72.00% rooting success, generated 5.85 number of roots with 6.65 cm length and 2.47 g weight and 4.89 number of re-sprout and 7.00 cm shoot length. The untreated layering took maximum days to root appearance (50.40), attained less rooting percentage (47.07%). The layering of Manzanilla generated early rooting and took less (36.00) days for root appearance, accomplished high rooting percentage (77.47 %), produced more (6.38 number) and lengthy (7.03 cm) roots and more (5.57) re-sprouts, followed by layers of Frontoio that took 38.8 days for root appearance, attained 65.73% rooting success and produced 5.69 number of roots with 6.14 cm length while the layers of Pendolino took maximum days for root appearance (48.40) and accomplished 48.27% rooting. It is concluded that the olive cultivars Frontoio, Manzanilla and Picual were found high yielding with good oil recovery of extra virgin oil grade. Pendolino is marginally accepted, while the performance of Ottobratica was not satisfactory under the agro-climatic conditions of Sangbhatti, Mardan. The olive fruits harvested at semi ripe stage provided equilibrium in yield, oil recovery and quality attributes. The semi hard wood cuttings treated with 3000 ppm IBA solution developed profuse root and shoot systems in olives cultivars. The plants of Frontoio, Manzanilla and Pendolino when air-layered during mid-August, treated with 2000 ppm IBA solution attained high rotting percentage. Ottobratica produced maximum number of roots when air-layered during mid July, treated with 1000 ppm IBA and Picual during late July, treated with 2000 ppm IBA solution.

E-COMMERCE AND CYBER VULNERABILITIES IN BANGLADESH: A POLICY PAPER

E-commerce is one way among many that people buy and sell things in retail. Some companies sell products online only, but for many, e-commerce is a distribution channel that’s part of a broader strategy that includes physical stores and other revenue streams. Either way, e-commerce allows startups, small businesses, and large companies to sell their products at scale and reach customers worldwide. The growing scenario of E-commerce shapes a new dynamism in Business and offers no time-bound, cost-efficient, and hassle-free buy and sell. Following changing approach, security management in e-commerce (cyber security) is now the focus. People in Bangladesh are mostly unaware of the risks of using computing and digital devices and online platforms. This article articulated the risk factors associated with the growing reliance on digital technologies and devices. Then, some policy guidelines are prescribed for the national level and individual level, including leading social campaigns, new chapters in the school curriculum, advancing technological aptitudes of law enforcers, strengthening security systems in e-commerce, embanking sites, bringing frauds to justice, initiating law to define cybercrimes, fortifying institutional management of cyber securities

Solutions of Couple Stress and Non-Newtonian Fluid Flows

The equations governing the flow of couple stress and modified second grade non-Newtonian fluid flows for systems of non-linear ordinary differential equations are formed and thus these systems have no general solutions. The general solutions become more rare if we study these flows together with heat transfer analysis and even more harder if we introduce the variable viscosity instead of constant viscosity. In the first part of the thesis we study the steady incompressible couple stress channel fluid flows together with the energy equations taking variable viscosity into account. The Reynolds and Vogel’s viscosity models have been used for the temperature dependent viscosity. Depending on the relative motion of the plates, four different problems are considered, viz plane Couette flow, plug flow, plane Poiseuille flow and Couette- Poiseuille flow. Approximate analytical and numerical approaches have been used to solve the nonlinear developed equations arising during the mathematical modeling of these problems. Solutions for the velocity profiles, temperature distributions, volumetric flow rates, average velocities Nusselt number and shear stresses are obtained. The influence of different emerging parameters on the flow pattern has been discussed and presented with the help of graphs. A study of thin film flows for the Generalized (modified) second grade fluid together with the energy equation is carried out in the next part of the analytical investigation. Two different problems have been investigated, (i) when a wide belt is moving vertically upward through a container with a constant speed V0 and (ii) when fluid is falling on the stationary infinite vertical belt under the influence of gravity. For the above stated problems the governing equations are converted into ordinary differential equations and then solved exactly for the velocity profile and temperature distribution. Expressions for the volume flux, average velocity and shear stress are obtained in both these problems. Effects of different parameters on velocity and temperature are presented graphically. Furthermore approximate solutions have been developed for the Generalized second grade fluid in cylindrical coordinates.
