    A Thesis Submitted to Department of Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture. Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka- In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF SCIENCE (MS) IN DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTUREThe study was conducted in the central laboratory of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207 during October 2021 to February 2023. This study was conducted by Completely Randomized Design with three replications. For this study the treatments were: T 0 = Sun dried ginger slices; T 1 = Ginger slice were oven dried at 50℃ temperatures; T 2 = Ginger slice were oven dried at 55℃ temperatures; T 3 = Ginger slice were oven dried at 60℃ temperatures; and T 4 = Ginger slice were oven dried at 65℃ temperatures. From this study it can be observed that, T 1 showed the best performance of pH (5.05), Vitamin C (0.14%), moisture content (9.90%), crude protein (25.43%), crude fat (2.94%) and ash content (7.18%) at 90 days after storage. Treatment T 1 comprised of ginger slices were oven dried at 50℃ temperatures showed the best performance in shelf life observation i.e. the shelf life of ginger powder produced by using 50℃ temperature become high. And the shelf life of sun dried ginger slices and made them powder was short, i.e. after 60 days of storage firstly it become unable to consume. From this study it can be concluded that, ginger powder, which was produced from the oven dried ginger slices at 50℃ temperatures, was the best ginger powder which can consume after 90 days of storage. Whereas, the ginger powder, which was produced from the sun dried ginger slices, showed the lowest performance to store for long time

    — Power amplifiers are important in today's wireless communication systems. This paper describes the design, tuning, and performance optimization of a class-AB power amplifier operating in the 3.7 GHz – 4.2 GHz frequency range with an output power of 40 dBm at a gain of about 10 dB. A Wolfspeed CGH40010F GaN HEMT transistor, which operates from DC with a 28V supply, is employed in the amplifier's design to satisfy the specifications. Using the transistor nonlinear simulation model created by Cree Inc., an amplifier is designed and simulated in Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) software. Keeping the issues of linearity and efficiency in mind, the biasing point is chosen for the class AB configuration. In biasing, the drain current is 48 mA and the gate-source voltage is -3.05 V. The frequency range for the design is chosen based on applications. Then, the stability analysis of the transistor is performed. The simulation results also show that the transistor becomes broadband stable when a resistor is added to its input side. Source-pull and load-pull simulation is used to extract source and load impedances for optimal power and efficiency. From the perspectives of efficiency and linearity, the installed PA performs exceptionally well across the entire frequency range. According to the simulation, the RF PA's flat gain fluctuated between 8.19 dB and 10.90 dB for the frequency range of 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz. At 3.8 GHz, the maximum power added efficiency (PAE) was found to be 64.52%, while the maximum drain efficiency is simulated to reach 67.78% at an output power of nearly 40 dBm

    This study introduces a hybrid model for an advanced medical chatbot addressing crucial healthcare communication challenges. Leveraging a hybrid ML model, the chatbot aims to provide accurate and prompt responses to users' health-related queries. The proposed model will overcome limitations observed in previous medical chatbots by integrating a dual-stemming approach, P-Stemmer and NLTK-Stemmer, accommodating both semitic and non-semitic languages. The system prioritizes the analysis of cognates, identification of symptoms, doctor recommendations, and prescription generation. It integrates an automatic translation module to facilitate a smooth multilingual diagnostic experience. Following the Scrum methodology for agile development, the framework ensures adaptability to evolving research needs and stays current with recent medical discoveries. This groundbreaking idea aims to improve the effectiveness and availability of healthcare services by introducing an intelligent, multilingual chatbot. This technology enables patients to communicate with doctors from diverse linguistic backgrounds through an automated language translation model, eliminating language barriers and extending healthcare access to rural regions worldwide. • A simple but efficient hybrid conceptual model for advancement in smart medical assistance. • This conceptual model can be applied to implement a medical chatbot that can understand multiple languages. • This method can be utilized to address medical chatbot limitations and enhance accuracy in response generation
