Seven stages of Dyeing effluents were used as treatment variables and compare their effect on germination attributes and early growth stage of country bean. The treatment of neutralization stage (D) to enhanced the germination percentage remarkably (100%) as well as statistically identical with the result of underground water (D) whereas the treatments of effluent from 2nd wash after Bath (D)  and mixed effluent from ETP were showed poor germination (73.33 %). Second wash after scouring and bleaching treatment (D) also showed good result. All results has been taken by considering other germination oriented parameters, such as germination energy, relative germination rate, effluent injury rate, germination velocity. On the contrary, outstanding result was showed at seedling growth stage from the treatment of D except others. But D treatment performed very poor among all parameters. So, it can be suggested that, D stage of textile effluent might be applied as irrigation water for the purpose of crop production as well as country bean cultivation and sustainable environment. <#LINE#> @ @ BKMEA, Membership profile, Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (2012) @No $ @ @ Chakraborty S., M.K.

This work describes the ionospheric anomaly, if any, found over the associated ionospheric stations prior to occurrence of four earthquakes during last seven years at different locations of earth. We analyzed Maximum Usable Frequency Factor M(3000)F2 data records, by lower and upper bound, and the observed perturbations associated to geomagnetic disorder were filtered out. After filtration, the remaining anomalies were analyzed in association to the occurrence of earthquake. Thus the time interval taken in this analysis comes under the calm geomagnetic activities. The results of the analysis found a few remarkable anomalies in Maximum Usable Frequency Factor. These   perturbations are solidly time dependent and seen few days prior to the seismic event. It may be due to the generation of seismogenic electric field on the surface of the earth well before the seismic event. This study may be give us important precursory results. <#LINE#> @ @ Turcotte D.L., and Spence D.A An analysis of strain accumulation on a strike slip fault, J.
