Alkaloids and Terpenoids from the Aerial Part of Sida rhombifolia

Abstract: 8-(3′,3′-Dimethylbutyl)-6-hydroxy-2,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-3-one (1) and 5-isopentyl-4a,8a-dimethyldecahydronaphthalen-2-ol (2) have been isolated from the aerial part of Sida rhombifolia L. for the first time along with the previously reported stigmasterol. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral and chemical methods.

Wind Energy: The Promising Future of Bangladesh Power Sector

Abstract: As fossil fuel reserves have been rapidly drained over the past few years, Bangladesh has had severe electricity problems. Bangladesh should explore alternative sources of energy. The issue can be resolved by the wind. The wind is a great source of renewable energy that is also free. Long coastal area is observed in Bangladesh, where a good amount of wind is found all around the year. It sustains several blows in different seasons' various fashions. In this study, some statistical information is gathered about wind flow rates in Bangladesh's various locations and, after figuring out the cost of extracting the wind energy, it is compared to other energy sources in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the feasibility of installing wind power plants in Bangladesh is also discussed.

A Statistical Estimation of Solar Power for Energy Mix in Bangladesh

Abstract: solar radiation (SR) is a significant parameter for producing solar power for the electric energy mix. Sun radiation data is hard to be accumulated at particular geographical location of a country due to measurement instruments is limited especially in developing country like Bangladesh. Hence, estimation of SR for a meteorological location is an important research to learn solar energy potentiality. In this regards, this paper presents a statistical inference model for the estimation of bright sunshine hour which is important metric for solar irradiance. Normal distribution model is inferred from the historical data of some important locations of Bangladesh. Mean and standard deviation are the parameters at 95% confidence interval which control the behavior of such distribution. In this statistical model, bright sunshine hour is estimated that expedite to find the potential of solar energy at particular location. The estimation model can be used as a decision making support to design photovoltaic power system for deployment of energy mix policy.
