The number of social media users in Bangladesh is increasing every year. Young people – mainly college and university students are the heavy it. Problematic use (PSMU) has received research attention over past decade. However, there very few studies concerning PSMU Bangladesh. present study examined role relationship between avoidance/distress self-esteem. comprised a sample 370 from University...

This paper describes the design of a high speed motion estimator using the Z-D log search algorithm. The architecture consists of 5 simple processing elements (PE) where each PE is capable of computing the sum-of-absolute-difference (SAD) to exploit the parallelism. For each step in the 2-D log search procedure, the 5 SADs of the 5 search points are computed in parallel. The design is implement...

With the emergence of widely available hardware and software tools for GSM hacking, the security of cellular networks is threatened even by script kiddies. In this paper we present four different attacks in GSM networks, using commodity hardware as well as open source and freely available software tools. All attacks are performed using a common DVB-T TV tuner, which is used as a sniffer for the...

Abstract Plant disease quantification, mainly the intensity of symptoms on individual units (severity), is basis for a plethora research and applied purposes in plant pathology related disciplines. These include evaluating treatment effect, monitoring epidemics, understanding yield loss, phenotyping host resistance. Although sensor technology has been available to measure severity using visible...

INTRODUCTION While many countries have adopted prominent pictorial warning labels (PWLs) for cigarette packs, the USA still requires only small, text-only labels located on one side of the cigarette pack that have little effect on smoking-related outcomes. Tobacco industry litigation blocked implementation of a 2011 Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) rule requiring large PWLs. To inform FDA a...

A species abundance distribution (herein ‘ SAD ’ ) describes the abundances of all species sampled within a given community (Ulrich et al. 2010). Because SADs characterise the structure of ecological communities, they constitute the foundation of much (macro-) ecological and biogeographical theory (Preston 1948). Th us, considerable eff ort has been made to characterise empirical SADs in a stat...

Supercritical Assisted Atomization (SAA) has been used to micronize α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD). The effect of some process parameters such as precipitation temperature and solute concentration in the liquid solution has been studied to evaluate their influence on morphology and size of precipitated particles. Cyclodextrins micronization has been obtained wi...

As an alternative to Hebb’s theory, mental life is described in terms of Sherrington’s synapses, habits, and William James’s notion of the stream of thought. The theory accounts for the major organic states, such as waking, sleep, and hypnotic trance; for states of general sensitivity; and for the following aspects of the stream of thought: thought objects with their fringes; acquainting (conce...
