The dissertation deals with the investigation of magnetic field effect on plasma parameters and surface structuring of two metallic alloys (Cu & Mg) after laser irradiation. The plasma parameters are evaluated by using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique, whereas, micro/nano structuring of metallic alloys is explored by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. This dissertation consists of following two parts. In part (A) the effect of magnetic field on ns-LIBS analysis and surface modifications of both metallic alloys has been investigated. Part (A) is further divided into sections. In section I, the effect of laser irradiance on metallic alloys plasma is exposed in the presence and absence of Transverse Magnetic Field (TMF) while keeping the pressure of environmental gases constant i.e. 5 Torr. For this purpose both metallic alloys were exposed to Nd: YAG laser (1064 nm, 10 ns) pulsed energies ranging from 25 mJ to 200 mJ. Cu-alloy is exposed at various ns laser irradiances ranging from 1.9 GW/cm2 to 5 GW/cm2, whereas, for Mg alloy irradiances are ranging from 0.3 GW/cm2 to 2.6 GW/cm2 under Argon (Ar), Neon (Ne), and Helium (He). Section II of this part deals with the investigation of different pressures of environmental gases with & without magnetic field by keeping irradiance constant. For this purpose time integrated Laser Produced Plasma (LPP) parameters of metallic alloys evaluated under Ar, Ne and He environments at different pressures ranging from 1 Torr to 100 Torr at constant irradiance of 4.4 GW/cm2 (Cu-alloy) and 2 GW/cm2 (Mg-alloy) and at constant time delay of 1.25 µs have been explored. The values of excitation temperature (Texc) and electron number density (ne) of LPP of metallic alloys are higher in the presence of 1.1 Tesla magnetic field as compared to field free case. Both Cu & Mg alloys show similar trends for used range of ns laser irradiances in the presence of Ar, Ne & He. It is also found that trends of both excitation temperature and electron number density are increasing with increasing laser irradiances from 1.9 GW/cm2 to 4.4 GW/cm2 for Cu-alloy & from 0.3 GW/cm2 to 2 GW/cm2 for Mg-alloy. For the highest used irradiance for both metallic alloys the decrease in both parameters is observed. In the case of pressure variation an increase in both plasma parameters is observed by increasing pressure from 1 Torr to 5 Torr at fixed irradiance of 4.4 GW/cm2 & 2 GW/cm2 for Cu-alloy and Mg-alloy respectively. A decrease in LPP parameters by increasing pressure from 5 Torr to 100 Torr for both metallic alloys is observed. The magnetic confinement validity is confirmed by analytically evaluating thermal beta (βt), directional beta (βd), confinement radius (Rb) and diffusion time (td) for LPP of both Cu and Mg-alloys. Surface modifications of laser ablated Cu & Mg alloys is performed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. The formation of less distinct surface structures are observed on Cu-alloy in the presence of TMF as compared to field free case. Whereas, for Mg-alloy distinct and well-defined structuring is observed with TMF as compared to absence of field. In order to investigate the effect of femtosecond laser irradiation effects on plasma parameters and surface modifications, part (B) is performed. In part (B), the effect of magnetic field on fs-LIBS analysis and surface modifications of both metallic alloys has been investigated. Femto second pulses of Ti: Sapphire laser system (800 nm, 35 fs, 1 KHz) are employed as source of irradiation. Part (B) is further divided into sections. Section I, deals with measurements performed at various irradiances ranging from 0.011 PW/cm2 to 0.117 PW/cm2 for Cu-alloy and irradiances ranging from 0.0052 PW/cm2 to 0.0526 PW/cm2 for Mg alloy under fixed 15 torr pressure of Ar and Ne with & without TMF. This section also deals with exploring the effect of different pressures of Ar ranging from 1 Torr to 35 Torr with & without TMF at fixed irradiance of 0.082 PW/cm2 & 0.043 PW/cm2 for Cu-alloy and Mg-alloy respectively. For fs-LIBS analysis the same trends of Texc and ne are observed as have been observed for ns-LIBS for both metallic alloys for irradiance variation as well as pressure variation. In order to confirm the validity of magnetic confinement for fs- LIBS analysis. The values of βt, βd, Rb and td are also evaluated.To correlate the LPP parameters of metallic alloys with surface modifications Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) analysis is performed. It reveals the formation of Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSSs). These LIPSSs are of two kinds LSFL (Low-spatial-frequency LIPSSs) and HSFL (High-spatial-frequency LIPSSs) along agglomers and nano rims which are not formed in case of ns-laser ablation. For both metallic alloys distinct and well-defined surface structuring is observed in the presence of the field as compared to absence of field.The comparison is made between ns-LIBS and fs-LIBS analyses. It is observed that both LPP parameters i.e. Texc and ne for both metallic alloys are higher for ns-LIBS as compared to fs-LIBS. It is also revealed that ns laser irradiation is responsible for micro scale surface structuring, whereas, in case of fs laser ablation nano scale well defined LIPSSs are formed. When comparison is made between Cu-alloy and Mg-alloy, it is observed that higher excitation temperature is associated with Mg-alloy plasma whereas, electron number density for Cu-alloy plasma is greater for both ns and fs laser. It is also revealed that both excitation temperature and electron number density play a substantial part for the growth of surface structures on both metallic alloys. It is concluded that by applying external magnetic field during laser irradiation, controlled material surface structuring is possible for applications such as formation of gratings and field emitters where spatial uniformity is critically important.

سید مبارک شاہ کی ’’ ہم اپنی ذات کے کافر‘‘ پر طائرانہ نظر

سیّد مبارک شاہ کی

’’ ہم اپنی ذات کے کافر‘‘ پر طائرانہ نظر

سیّد مبارک شاہ کی پہلی کتاب ’’جنگل گمان کے‘‘ 1993ء میں منظر عام پر آئی اور اشاعت کے اولین ماہ میں ہی سٹالوں پر دستیاب نہ رہی۔دوسری کتاب 1995ء میں شائع ہوئی جبکہ تیسری کتاب ’’مدارنارسائی میں‘‘1998ء میں چھپ کر سامنے آئی۔تینوں کتابوں کو اہل ذوق محبت میں عجلت دکھاتے ہوئے۔دکانوں سے اپنی لائبریریوں میں اور اشعار کو اوراق سے اپنے دلوں میں منتقل کر لیا۔سیّد مبارک شاہ کی دوسری کتاب ’’ہم اپنی ذات کے کافر‘‘ 1995ء میں چھپ کر اہل ذوق سے داد وصول کر چکی ہے۔یہ کتاب آپ کی غزلوں اور نظموں پر مشتمل ہے۔اس مجموعہ کلام میں (48) غزلیں شامل ہیں۔ان غزلوں کا موضوعاتی جائزہ لینے سے پہلے غزل کی تعریف اور ارتقاء پر روشنی ڈالتا ہوں۔

عربی،فارسی،پنجابی اور اردو کی مشہور و مقبول صنف غزل ہے۔اس صنف میں اتنی دلکشی،جاذبیت اور کھچاؤ موجود ہیکہ ہر دور اور ہر طبقے کے دلوں کی دھڑکن بنی رہی اور زندگی کی رگوں میں خون بن کر دوڑتی رہی ہے۔لفظ ’’غزل‘‘ کے ماخذ کے بارے میں ماہرین زبان و ادب کے درمیان اختلاف رائے موجود ہے۔ایک گروہ کا خیال ہے کہ ’’غزل‘‘ عربی زبان کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنی اون کتنا،اون کو تار تار کر کے دھاگہ تیار کرنا کے ہیں۔(1)

جب کہ دوسرے گروہ کا نظریہ ہے کہ عورتوں کے ساتھ بات چیت کرنا،اْن کے حسن و عشق کے بارے میں باتیں کرنا۔

’’در لغت حدیث کردن بازناں ومعاشقہ با ایشاں است ومغازلہ نیز عشق بازی و محاولہ بازناں است، در اصطلاح عبارت است ازابیاتی چند بریک وزن و قافیہ کہ بشعر مشتمل بر مضامین معاشقہ و تصویر احوال عشاق وجمال مشعوق۔‘‘(2)

ABSTRACT: Peanuts may be consumed in a variety of processed forms like roasted, raw and processed etc. And represent as a multimillion dollar crop worldwide with many potential dietary benefits as it contains high protein and health effective oils. Objective: The present investigation was planned to evaluate thephysio-chemical properties of peanut milk yogurt by the addition of different concentration of peanut milk (0 %, 10 %, 20 % and 30 %), skimmed milk liquid (60 %, 70 %, 80 %, and 90 %), skimmed milk powder (9 %) and sugar (1 %). Methods: The physico-chemical tests (pH, acidity, moisture, ash, fat, protein, syneresis, and viscosity) were examined after every 5 days of interval for a period of 15 days at 4 ºC. Results: The results of physico-chemical analysis revealed that pH, ash, fat, protein and viscosity decrease during storage period where as acidity, moisture and rate of syneresis increased during storage. Treatment T1 (10 % peanut milk) was comparatively best for manufacturing of peanut milk yogurt followed by T2 (20 % peanut milk + 70 % skimmed milk liquid + 9 % skimmed milk powder + 1 % sugar) while peanut milk yogurt from (30 % peanut milk + 60 % skimmed milk liquid + 9 % skimmed milk powder + 1 % sugar) had the lowest degree of firmness. Conclusions: It was noticed that correlation among fat, total solids and protein contents in peanut milk affect the extent of serum separation and pH of yogurt. The storage had significant effects on all physico-chemical parameters. Treatments had significant effect on all physico-chemical parameters

Design Quality Metrics for Real Time Environment Applications.

In this research work a design framework model for real time environment applications driven by novel design metrics has been proposed. Objective is to use these design metrics for measuring the design of real time environment applications. Measurement at the design level can save effort and cost. The existing design methodologies for real time systems are lacking with this measurement aspect. In this research work measurement has been introduced in the form of metrics for the design methodology of the real time system. The metrics are validated and the results are satisfactory. The case study has shown that using these metrics at the design level can reduce design errors for the real time applications. The further research can be carried out for development and implementation of real time application using the proposed real time application design framework model and the design metrics.
