Published: November 2020

HelioScope is the solar industry's leading software platform for designing and analysis performance of a solar plant for a medium to large solar PV plants. Folsom Labs developed HelioScope, an advanced solar PV design software for medium to large solar PV plant. In this paper, the authors have designed a grid tied solar PV based power plant for a sample area of around 20 acre in the district of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The main feature of the HelioScope software is the efficient layout of the arrays and blocks of the panels once the location of the area is set in the software. Also, authors have tried to focus on the variation of the solar PV output with the variation of the tilt angle of the panels. Normally, in a particular area, tilt angle is adjusted according to the latitude angle of the concerned area. In densely populated countries like Bangladesh, scarcity of land for solar PV generation is extremely acute although there is abundant solar energy available for setting up of solar PV plants. By increasing the tilt angle, substantial area can be saved which can be utilized to set up more numbers of solar panels when compared to the area required with the normal tilt angle which ultimately enhances the generation capacity of the plant and reduce the cost. Solar PV generation for the sample area has been determined for different tilt angles and it has been shown that the solar PV generation increases substantially with the increase of the tilt angle thereby reducing the cost of energy for the sample area under consideration.

A0-Mode Lamb Wave Based Detection of Corrosion under Coating Film in Plate-Like Metallic Structures: Analytical, Finite Element and Experimental Studies
Authors: Rabbi MS , Teramoto K 
Published: November 2020

The fundamental order antisymmetric mode (A0-mode) Lamb wave based a quantitative acoustical imaging technique is proposed in this paper to classify the corroded region under coating film within the metallic structure. This method estimates versatility qualities of the zone of intrigue to some degree inhomogeneity differentiated to the encompassed materials. However, a converging region consisting of incident wave field and scattered wave field difficult to demonstrate from the observed signals. The proposed method focuses on reconstructing the image of the defect by calculating the shear strains. The shear strains deduced from the observed normal displacement of the specimen. A covariance matrix has been constructed using the shear strains and meaningful determinant values of the matrix reveal the overlapping region. As the beginning overlapping region developed at the edge of the defect, thus image of the defect can be reconstructed by this technique. This paper discussed the analytical approach of computing the incoming, outgoing, as well as the transmitting wave fields. Physical interpretation of the analytical prediction is explored via numerical simulations and acoustical observations.

Published: November 2020

Background: Liver remains the second most common injured organ in both blunt and penetrating trauma of the abdomen. Management of blunt or penetrating injury to the liver remains a significant challenge to trauma surgeons. Unstable patients require immediate laparotomy. Selective patients can be managed without surgery and with careful monitoring. Mortality is mainly due to damage to major hepatic blood vessels, massive parenchymal and biliary injury. Associated non-hepatic injuries contribute greatly to the overall mortality. With improved understanding of the major causes of mortality from hepatic injury, adequate resuscitation, well planned surgical intervention and better intensive care facilities have decreased mortality and morbidity
Objectives: Performed to assess incidence, mechanisms, management and outcome of traumatic liver injury. Methods: This prospective study was performed in Dhaka Medical College Hospital between January 2013 to December 2014. Sixty patients with hepatic injury were included in the study. Data collected in data collection sheet regarding demographic data, severity of liver injury, hemodynamic status on admission, investigations reports, concomitant injuries, management scheme, and outcome of patients which were then analyzed.
Results: There were 39 male and 21 female patients with a mean age of 31.3 (SD=15.4) years. Road traffic accident was the most common injury mechanism (71%). 20 patients (33%) were in shock at the time of admission. 48 patients (80%) with liver injury had associated injuries of other organs. Majority of the patients (41%) were found with grade Ill injury. 50 patients (83%) needed surgical interventions. Most common (16%) complication was wound infection. 3 patients (5%) died in this series. 5 patients (8%) developed liver abscess on subsequent follow up. Conclusion: Most of the trauma victims are young and in the active state of life. Prompt resuscitative measures, assessment of extend of hepatic injury and associated injuries, well justified surgical intervention along with critical care support can contribute greatly to the survival of victims of hepatic injury.

Background: The last century has witnessed immense evolvement of management of patients with abdominal trauma. Moreover the recent trend has shifted to selective operative management rather than exploratory laparotomy in trauma patients with suspected intraabdominal injuries and is considered more rational as well. Diagnostic laparoscopy is highly sensitive in detecting intra-abdominal injury with subsequent reduction in the rate of negative laparotomy and procedure related morbidity.
Objective: The study was carried out to find the role of diagnostic laparoscopy in abdominal trauma.
Methods: An observational study was carried out in the casualty block of Dhaka Medical College Hospital from 1st June 2015 to 30th March 2016. A total of 50 successive patients were assigned in this study. All of them were admitted with abdominal trauma and underwent diagnostic laparoscopy during the period of 10 months. The study was designed to find out whether laparoscopy can help in identifying intra-abdominal injuries with consequent avoidance of unnecessary operative explorations.
Results: Intra-abdominal injuries other than GIT perforation were diagnosed by laparoscopy with 100% accuracy but in case of bowel injury the diagnostic accuracy was 80%.
Conclusion: Diagnostic laparoscopy is the procedure of choice in doubtful intra-abdominal injuries with impressive accuracy except for bowel injury. Subsequently it reduced the need for negative laparotomies with their procedure related adverse effects.

Introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of a commercial endodontic sealer modified by the addition of montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles loaded with two different drugs: chlorhexidine (CHX) or metronidazole (MET). Methods: 5 wt% MMT/CHX or MMT/MET nanoparticles were added to the sealer AH-Plus. The experimental materials were evaluated for drug release, antimicrobial activity, flow, flexural strength, and flexural modulus. Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: The drug incorporation into MMT particles was 9% and 10% for CHX and MET, respectively. At 20 days after manipulation, 16.5% of the drug was released by the sealer with MMT/MET and 0.4% by MMT/CHX. The addition of both nanoparticles decreased the flow of materials, but they were still in compliance with ISO 6876-2012. The conversion, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of MMT/MET (87%, 37±7 MPa, 2.3 GPa) and MMT/CHX (78%, 29±2 MPa, 2.7 GPa) were similar in both groups but lower than in the control group (100%, 54±7 MPa, 4.0±0.7 GPa). Both experimental materials were able to form an inhibition halo for E. faecalis bacteria (CHX: 4.8±1.4 and MET: 4.0±1.6 mm), whereas the control group did not inhibit the microorganism. Conclusion: both formulations proposed as endodontic sealer presented effective antimicrobial activity and acceptable flow. The addition of MMT/CHX and MMT/MET particles decreased the conversion and mechanical properties, but further studies are required to clarify the clinical relevance of these properties.
