Creating a more efficient financial system : challenges for Bangladesh

While Bangladesh has embarked on a path to reform its financial system, most prominently by privatizing its government-owned banks, the Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs), a sustainable long-term expansion of the financial system requires a more substantial change in the role of government. Using recent research and international comparisons, this paper argues that the government should move from its role as an operator and arbiter in the financial system to a facilitator role. This implies not only divestment from government-owned banks, but also de-politicization of the licensing process and a market-based bank failure resolution framework that focuses on intermediation and not on the rescue of individual institutions. Most important, the government should move away from the implicit guarantee for depositors and owners to applying the existing limited explicit deposit insurance for depositors, while simultaneously relying more on market participants to monitor and discipline banks instead of micro-managing financial institutions. This redefinition of government's role should not be limited to the banking system, but applies to other segments of the financial system, such as capital markets and the micro-finance sector, and should be seen as an essential element in the governance reform agenda and in the movement from a relationship-based economy to a market and arms-length economy.Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Financial Intermediation,Investment and Investment Climate,Corporate Law

UTILIZATION OF EOSIN DYE AS AN ION PAIRING AGENT FOR DETERMINATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS: A BRIEF REVIEW

Globally, dyes are widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, textile, cosmetics, plastics, leather, paint, ink and paper industries. Eosin is an acidic orange-pink dye and has very strong staining properties. Haematoxylin and eosin Y (H&E) combination is the most common staining and primary diagnostic technique in histo-pathological laboratories. This review mainly discussed the utility of eosin dye in quality control laboratories as an ion pairing agent for drug analysis. Eosin Y is one the most common ion pairing agent and its mono and di anionic forms of eosin Y are capable of interacting with many drug molecules to form colored/fluorescent binary or ternary complexes that can be analyzed with or without extraction by spectrofluorimetry and/or spectrophotometry. Quenching fluorescence and advantages of spectrofluorimetry over spectrophotometry were also discussed. Fluorescence detection greatly enhances the sensitivity and providing a sensitive and relatively inexpensive instrumental method of analysis using eosin Y for various important drugs in pure, commercial dosage forms and biological fluid

Evaluation of Synthetic CPT and Soil Boring Data by Various Spatial Interpolation Techniques

In order to incorporate the influence of collected in-situ data, the spatial correlation between the data and the foundation needs to be explored. However, risk and uncertainty are the characteristics of the soil that cannot be eliminated. Statistical information of the soil property can be estimated from available field data obtained from testing at discrete locations across the site. In this research, several well-established spatial interpolation methods like ordinary kriging (OK), simple kriging (SK), inverse distance weight (IDW), spline, natural neighbor (NaN) and universal kriging (UK) were incorporated to evaluate the best method. Six CPT (Cone penetration test) (Tip Resistance data) cases (Case 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9) and four soil boring (SU and SPT data) cases (Case 2, 7 ,8 and 10) were investigated in this research. According to the results, for Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10, if the first priority is given to bias factor followed by coefficient of variation (COV) and root mean square error (RMSE), the best three spatial interpolation techniques are IDW, OK and SK sequentially, based on their performance. For Case 5 (CPT data), the best three spatial interpolation techniques are OK, IDW and SK sequentially. For Case 6 (CPT data), the best three spatial interpolation techniques are SK, IDW and OK sequentially. For Case 8 (Soil Boring data), the best three spatial interpolation techniques are IDW, SK and OK sequentially. It can be concluded that the average COV of bias factor λ (for qc, SU and SPT data) for different spatial interpolation methods are less than the average measured COV of predicted average tip resistance and the measured COV of undrained shear strength and SPT (standard penetration test)

Vibrating nanoneedle and lab-on-chip microfluidics system for single cell mechanics

Single cell mechanics is a vital part of single cell analysis. It has attracted great interest among scientists as cell mechanics can be linked to early diagnosis of diseases. To date, several great findings have been achieved in the study of single cell mechanics. Nevertheless, more work are required to enable the technology to be pushed to the frontier of single cell mechanics. Considering this objective, this work focuses on the technological development of two major parameters of single cell mechanics: Single Cell Wall (SCW) cutting operations (Phase 01) and Single Cell Mass (SCM) measurement (Phase 02). A saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell was used as a sample cell. In phase 01, a vibrating nanoneedle (tungsten) integrated with lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric actuator was used for SCW cutting operation. Two different frequencies of vibrating nanoneedle were used for cell wall cutting operation: 1 Hz and 10 Hz. For a constant penetration depth of 1.2 µm, the obtained cell nanoneedle’s velocities were 7 µm/s and 24 µm/s. Results show that faster nanoneedle causes less damage to the cell surface. In phase 02, a Lab-On-Chip microfluidics system was used for SCM measurement. SCM result was extracted from the relation between drag force applied on cell and Newton’s law of motion. Drag force on the cell has been generated by a pressure driven syringe micropump. This approach of measuring SCM was calibrated using a known mass (73.5 pico gram) of polystyrene particle of 5.2 µm diameter. Different sizes (2-7 µm diameter) of yeast cells were cultured in our laboratory. Mass of 4.4 µm diameter of yeast cell was measured as 2.12 pg. In addition, results show that single yeast cell mass increases exponentially with the increase of cell size. It is envisaged that this work i.e. combination of single cell cutting operation and single cell mass measurement system will add a significant contribution to the knowledge of cell mechanics and single cell analysis
