Spatiotemporal epidemiology of dengue fever across all 64 districts of Bangladesh: a retrospective ecological analysis of reported hospital admissions

Bangladesh has experienced increasingly widespread dengue activity, with hospital admissions reported beyond the historical concentration in Dhaka. District-level evidence is needed to support preparedness, but nationwide-analyses combining temporal patterns, population-standardi...

Delineating Urban Growth Boundary Using Remote Sensing and Cellular Automata–Neural Network (CA-ANN) Model: A Case Study of Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Rapid and unplanned urbanization in Dhaka is reshaping land use, intensifying peripheral expansion, and increasing pressure on urban and ecological resources. Understanding these growth dynamics is essential for effective urban growth boundary delineation and sustainable planning...

Sustainable denim fabric development using jute-cotton blends: a viable strategy to reduce cotton consumption

Purpose This study aims to develop sustainable denim fabric by reducing cotton consumption through the use of cottonized jute–cotton blended yarn (Jutton) in the weft direction, while maintaining 100% cotton yarn in the warp, without compromising fabric performance. Design/method...

Optimization ofHexavalent Chromium Removal from WastewaterUsing Activated Carbon Derived from Liming Pelt Trimming and Tannin:A Response Surface Methodology Approach

Abstract In leather industries, chromium compound is used in tanning and around 60–70% of the applied chromium is consumed by the leather fiber and the rest of them are being discharged as a mixed toxic effluent. This effluent is a major source of chromium contamination and gener...

Quantifying vaccination thresholds and roll-out delays in an influenza transmission model with waning and immune boosting

This study develops and analyzes an SVIRLQS epidemiological model to investigate the combined effects of vaccination, waning immunity, immune boosting, and secondary infections on disease transmission dynamics. Understanding these mechanisms is important because immunity acquired...
