An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh in Old Brahmaputra Alluvial Flood Plain (AEZ-9) during December 2005 to May 2006 to examine the root growth of different rice cultivars under various establishment methods. This experiment comprised two sets of treatment (i) three methods of planting viz., dry direct seeding, wet direct seeding and transplanting, and (ii) six rice cultivars, two inbreds viz., BRRI Dhan 28 and BRRI Dhan 29, two hybrids, viz., Aalok 6201 and Sonarbangla 1 and two local improved cultivar viz., Habigonj IV and Habigonj VIII. Cultivars had more remarkable effect on different root parameters i.e. number of roots, root length, root length density, root biomass, root weight ratio and root shoot ratio of hybrid, inbred and local improved rice cultivars than method of planting. BRRI Dhan 28 performed the best for most of the parameters. At harvest, BRRI Dhan 29 showed the best rooting behavior among the cultivars. For both stages hybrid rice cultivars showed intermediate and local improved cultivars performed lower in rooting behavior. Direct seeding method performed better than transplanting method for most of the root parameters but wet direct seeding and dry direct seeding methods were identical. Interaction effect between method of planting and cultivar in most of the root parameters were insignificant. But, BRRI Dhan 28 and BRRI Dhan 29 under wet direct seeding method and Sonarbanngla I under transplanting method showed the best rooting performance among the other combinations.

Probiotics may offer a safe intervention for diarrheal diseases. The aim of the present study was the assessment of the antidiarrheal property of probiotic bacteria. For their antidiarrheal efficacy assessment, yogurt was prepared using the isolated bacteria from selective regional yogurt of Bangladesh, and mice model trails were conducted using castor oil induced diarrheal mice. The probiotic treatment was applied on three mice groups, each having 6 mice and their respective doses were 50 mL/kg body weight in treatment group (TG) 1, 100 mL/kg body weight in TG2, and 150 mL/kg body weight in TG3. A four week treatment of probiotic significantly (P<0.001) reduced the percentage (67.37%) of diarrhea in TG3 (150 mL yogurt/kg body weight). All the treatment groups showed a significant (P<0.001) increase in the latent periods, reduced the total fecal output, and frequency and fecal water content compared to the negative control group. Serum electrolytes (Na<SUP>+</SUP> and K<SUP>+</SUP>) and total protein levels were higher in the TG3 compared to the negative control group. Further research regarding molecular characterization and identification of specific genes and proteins of interest may help to develop the next generation bacteriocins and antidiarrheal drugs.

<P>Device configurations that enable a unidirectional propagation of carriers in a semiconductor are fundamental components for electronic and optoelectronic applications. To realize such devices, however, it is generally required to have complex processes to make p–n or Schottky junctions. Here we report on a unidirectional propagation effect due to a self-induced compositional variation in GaAsSb nanowires (NWs). The individual GaAsSb NWs exhibit a highly reproducible rectifying behavior, where the rectifying direction is determined by the NW growth direction. Combining the results from confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and electrical measurements, the origin of the rectifying behavior is found to be associated with a self-induced variation of the Sb and the carrier concentrations in the NW. To demonstrate the usefulness of these GaAsSb NWs for device applications, NW-based photodetectors and logic circuits have been made.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/nalefd/2015/nalefd.2015.15.issue-6/acs.nanolett.5b00089/production/images/medium/nl-2015-00089f_0008.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/nl5b00089'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
