PURPOSE Of the 99% maternal deaths that take place in developing countries, one-fourth is due to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). PPH accounts for one-third of all blood transfusions in Bangladesh where the transfusion process is lengthy as most facilities do not have in-house blood bank facilities. In this context, the location where blood is obtained and the processes of obtaining blood products ...

Introduction: Fertility transition is outright by prime four proximate determinants (marriage, contraception, postpartum infecundability, and abortion). The present study examines the contributions of proximate determinants on fertility decline and quantifies inhibiting the effect of major proximate determinants according to the socioeconomic characteristics in Bangladesh.<br /...

Four central rivers of Bangladesh were selected for this research. The name the is Buriganga, Dhaleshwari, Shitalakshya and Meghna. Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Salinity four river waters evaluated. EC values water Meghna found to be 366.0, 299.2, 290.4 130.8 µS/cm respectively. Similarly, pH 7.67, 7.38, 7.30 7.18 higher Buriganga than that other three waters. ...

This paper analyzes interest rate spreads and margins in Bangladesh for the period 1990– 2008 by applying the Arellano–Bover/Blundell–Bond dynamic panel regression model to a panel of 43 banks. The model has been applied to tackle short-panel bias and endogeneity problems in banking analysis. A high degree of persistency in spreads and margins is observed, which points to inefficiencies of bank...

In this paper we develop wavelet engines on a DSP platform, the target application being image and intraframe video compression by means of the forthcoming JPEG2000 and Motion-JPEG2000 standards. We describe two implementations, based on the lifting scheme and the filter bank scheme respectively, and we present experimental results on code profiling. In particular, we address the following prob...
