The potential significance of micro hydro systems

Thus we see that for Bangladesh, SHP plants have a lot to offer by way of low-cost energy, irrigation and flood control. Additionally, these resources will be provided with no environmental costs incurred. Small Hydropower plants could hold the solution to the woes of Bangladesh in the future

Tidal bores, catastrophic flooding in Bangladesh, and the potential usefulness of causeways

Through discussion of the worldwide devastation that tidal bores can cause, author Priyanka Joseph, examines the causes and the possible solutions to prevent these destructive waves. The pros and cons of each solution (such as causeways, viaducts, and regulators) are debated as well as their effect on the surrounding areas and environment

Birkhoff-James orthogonality and applications : A survey

In the last few decades, the concept of Birkhoff-James orthogonality has been used in several applications. In this survey article, the results known on the necessary and sufficient conditions for Birkhoff-James orthogonality in certain Banach spaces are mentioned. Their applications in studying the geometry of normed spaces are given. The connections between this concept of orthogonality, and the Gateaux derivative and the subdifferential set of the norm function are provided. Several interesting distance formulas can be obtained using the characterizations of Birkhoff-James orthogonality, which are also mentioned. In the end, some new results are obtained.Comment: To appear in : Springer/Birkh\"auser Verlag book series Operator Theory: Advances and Applications. Number of pages : 1
