پروفیسر مقبول احمد
یہ سطریں زیر تحریر تھیں کہ ایک بڑے عالم و فاضل اور محقق پروفیسر مقبول احمد کی وفات کی خبر ملی، اِناﷲ وَ اِنا اِلَیہ رَاجِعُون۔ وہ علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی کے شعبہ عربی و اسلامیات سے برسوں وابستہ رہے، انہی کی کوششوں سے یونیورسٹی میں ویسٹ ایشین اسٹڈیز کا شعبہ قائم ہوا، پھر کشمیر چلے گئے اور کشمیر یونیورسٹی میں سینٹرل ایشین اسٹڈیز کا سینٹر اور اسلامی کتب و نوادر کا میوزیم قائم کیا، شاہ حسین کی دعوت پر مشیر تعلیم کی حیثیت سے اردن گئے۔ مغربی ممالک کی سیاحت بھی کی برسوں آل انڈیا اسلامک اسٹڈیز کے جنرل سکریٹری رہے، جس کے باوقار سیمینار ملک بھر میں ہوتے تھے، حکومت ہند کے عربی مجلہ ثقافۃ الہند کے مدیر اور ذاکر حسین انسٹی ٹیوٹ کے سہ ماہی رسالہ ’’اسلام و عصر جدید‘‘ کی ادارت سے بھی منسلک رہے، ریٹائرڈ ہونے کے بعد پروفیسر ایمرٹس ہوئے، تصنیف و تالیف سے برابر اشتغال رہا اور مختلف علمی و تحقیقی کام انجام دیئے، شریف ادریسی کی شہرہ آفاق تصنیف نزہۃ المشتاق فی اختراق الآفاق کے ہندوستان سے متعلق حصے کی اشاعت ان کا بڑا کارنامہ ہے، جس کو ان کے عالمانہ مقدمہ، انڈکس اور محققانہ حواشی نے چار چاند لگادیا ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ عالم آخرت میں بھی ان کے درجات بلند کرے، آمین!!

The present study highlights to contribution of Qari Muhammad tayyab in Islamic assistance has widened the scope of the study. He was not only a knowledgeable scholar but also a verbose, philosophic, logical and sophisticated speaker. His speeches have disseminated a throng of information among the people. He had a deep concerns with the preaching of Islamic teaching. He remained the part of dewband maddersa for long while, where he replete the student with knowledge of islam in addition, qari Muhammad tayyab was a very innovative and revolutionary poet. His poetic nature can be seen his poetries through his writings۔ Qari has done many comparative studies, such as science and islam, Islam and Christianity, linguistic problems and Hindustan, presidential speech of mumbia and many others studies. His knowledge of history could be Cleary observed in his books of history. Such books include the history of dar-ul–uloom dewband, the history of hijaz muqaddas. His aids in many others fields like Islamic equity, problems of fate, a journey to Afghanistan, the principles of preaching are adorable, tidies. To the gathered and analyzed data, his additions to the Islamic studies are abound and will always enlighten the ways for the scholars and would always appreciate the new researchers.
Measurements of three fluidic parameters i.e. velocity / flow rate / wall shear stress, pressure and temperature are crucial in many industrial applications including aerospace, automobile, bio-medical and process control etc. The key requirement is to measure these parameters at very fine spatial resolutions, which ultimately depends upon the size of measuring device. Size minimization is possible only through Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) or mirco-fabrication technology. Therefore, using a novel SOI CMOS fabrication process, this thesis develops a multi-sensing platform that measures these three fluidic parameters, simultaneously.The developed chip has dimensions of just 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm as compared with the minimum chip size of 3.8 mm × 3.8 mm reported previously, thus improving the flow spatial resolution by 82.2%. The developed multi-sensing chip includes a thermal flow sensor, a piezoresistive pressure sensor and a Resistive Temperature Detector (RTD) based temperature sensor. Before integrating these sensors in a single chip, their material and design optimization have been carried out. Ashby‟s materials selection methodology has been used to select the optimum materials for these sensors. Since no MEMS compatible materials database having micro-scale material properties was readily available, therefore first a MEMS materials database has been developed and integrated with a material selection software. The developed materials database along with the derived performance indices for these sensors has then been used to select the candidate materials. Additionally, performance of these candidate materials and the variety of promising designs has also been evaluated experimentally in a two step iterative process using SOI CMOS fabrication technology. In a first iteration, eight thermal flow sensors (i.e. having square / circular membranes and four membrane to heater length ratios), six piezoresistive pressure sensors (i.e. having square membranes, three piezoresistor materials and two piezoresistor layout designs) and twelve RTDs temperature sensors(i.e. having five different materials and six layouts) have been fabricated andexperimental characterized. The best sensor of each type in the first iteration has been further improved when integrated in the final optimized multi sensing chip. The results showed that a thermal flow sensor with a silicon oxide square membrane having a membrane to heater length ratio of 3.35 has the highest sensitivity to area ratio. Similarly, a piezoresistor pressure sensor with a square membrane having p-doped silicon piezoresistors planted at the center of each membrane edges gives maximum sensitivity. The RTDs made of p-doped silicon and having higher L/W ratio exhibited the highest sensitivity and linearity. The optimized thermal, pressure and RTD sensors are much more sensitive than the previously reported such type of sensors. .It is worth highlighting that in addition to being highly sensitive, optimized sensors reported in this research are also CMOS compatible, which make them attractive considering their low cost and ease of integration with other CMOS devices, sensors and circuits.
