علامہ ابن جوزی کی تفسیر

This article describes the methodology and characteristics of Zad al-masir fi ‘ilm al-tafsir. This is one the finest work of Allama Ibn al-Jawzī, a 6th century prominent Interpreter. Several editions of this Tafsir have been published. However, the edition of dar al-kitab al-‘arbi, Beirut published in four volumes is selected for this study. This exegesis is based on conventional narrations, authentic quotations from the Islamic Scholars and lingual & grammatical discussions. As a witness, causes of verses (asbab al-Nuz┴l), Makki and Madani Surah’s (chapters), the abrogating and abrogated verses (al-nasikh wal-mans┴kh) and Islamic jurisprudence have been discussed in it where needed. The quality of this translation which is admirable is that mostly authentic Ahadith from original sources, and references to well known basic books in relevant discussions have been described.

Mathematical Aspects of the Impact of Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions on Global Warming

It is well known that the natural earth’s energy balance is influenced by human-induced changes of radiation balance, especially the concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Therefore, it needs for developing reliable models to gauge, analyse, and monitor the level of greenhouse gas emissions, especially for dense mega-city populations. Focusing on the Karachi Region as a case study, this thesis formulates an imputation scheme for missing data of greenhouse gases from traffic flow. This work also identifies useful parameters of distributions determined by local greenhouse data, performs EDA using classical and modern techniques for modeling the data, discusses the impact of greenhouse gases on local temperature fluctuation. To do bootstrapping of greenhouse data, a new kind of hybrid random number generator is proposed which gives satisfactory results for smaller number of bootstrap samples. Finally, it finds the interrelationship between local and global temperature fluctuations after doing analysis on the dynamics of local and global warming evolution processes.
