In coastal area interactions among air, water and soil take place. The nature of water and amplitude of the tidal regimes resulted in the poor understanding.The present study focused on a segment of the coastal zone of Bangladesh. Soils collected from the three islands were found to be rather similar as regard to chemical properties, although some variables differed significantly among the islands. No general pattern of significant variation was found location wise. Element concentrations of leaves of Sonneratia apetala showed significant variations among the islands. In most cases, location 2 of the river Buragauranga had higher values of the variables. Among the phytoplankton genera, 8 belong to class Bacillaiophyceae. Dominant phytoplankton was Trachelomonas sp. and was found in all three locations. Phytoplankton diversity was high in location 2. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that Trachelomonas sp. has negative significant correlation with principal component one but have positive relation with Coscinodiscus sp. This book will help in understanding the coastal zone as holistic approaches have been taken and help in conservation and management of coastal resources.

Foundations of Software Engineering provides in-depth coverage of the areas of software engineering that are essential for becoming proficient in the field. The book devotes a complete chapter to each of the core areas. Several peripheral areas are also explained with separate chapters devoted to each of them. Rather than using UML or other formal notations, the content in this book is explained in easy-to-understand language. Basic programming knowledge using an object-oriented language is helpful to understand the contents of this book. Thoroughly explained theories, along with illustrative examples and case studies, help readers learn key software engineering concepts.
