The aim and objectives of this study work is to evolve and develop a low cost method for chemical analysis. This method will be highly useful for the chemist, biochemist and botanist for proximal chemical analysis. Microscope is one of the most common techniques used for the investigation of histological and biological material and plant sectioning and staining it is an old method of research in diagnostic field. Anatomical sections provide us more information about the tissues or cells but differentiations and quantification of different compounds are very difficult or one can say that it is impossible but now a day with the help of Microscope, Camera and Computer software one can see 100 times larger image and also observe or quantify them easily. But Computational biology is utterly incomplete without microscopic section staining because computer software differentiates or quantifies to the specific compound on the basis of their colour, so for this purpose different dyes/stains were used for specific area or molecule. In the present research work, first of all proteins were determined from three plants by different reported methods, after the confirmation of protein concentration, same plant’s section were stained with two protein dyes and then were analyzed by own developed computer software that is ABAS. Stains or dyes are Coomassie Brilliant blue (CBB dye) and Lawsone dye (Ls dye). Coomassie stain is well known protein dye and Lawsone dye is also protein dye because it is commonly used for dying hairs, nails and skin proteins internationally. In this research concentration of Lawsone dye was observed in whole and powdered leaves of Henna (Lawsonia inermis) extractions at different time intervals i.e 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 24hrs, 48hrs and temperatures i.e 10oC, 20oC, 30oC and 40oC at different concentration (at 452nm) for staining purpose and pH. In this work one hour of powdered leaves extraction was used for the staining of anatomical sections of three plants. Siris (Albizia lebbbeck) is widely available on the campus of Sindh University, so first of all experimental work was started with the above plants followed by two other plants i.e Pea (Pisum sativum ) and Gram (Cicer arietinum) which were grown at the research plot, Institute of Plant Sciences, University of Sindh. Protein was analyzed from rachis of Siris by Lowry’s and Bradford’s quantitative method, molecular weight of protein was determined by Electrophoresis and staining pH of Lawsone dye assisted by paper chromatography. Sections of rachis of Siris were 3stained in CBB dye for different time intervals at room temperatures and then same plant sections were stained with 2% pure Lawsone dye (Ls dye) and 2% Henna powdered leaves extraction for one hour (Hple1) at different time of intervals i.e 30min, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs & 24hrs and temperatures i.e 40oC, 50oC, 60oC, 70oC, and 80oC. All of these sections were observed under microscope which was connected to computer through USB cable and saved all section’s photos (2D images) in computer memory for the assessment of stained image colour intensity by ABAS computer software, after confirmation of protein by computer software, protein concentration were observed at three stages of growth i.e 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd of the stem portion of both plants i.e Pea & Gram. Protein concentration in both plants were also analyzed by Lowry and Bradford quantitative methods and Electrophoresis and paper chromatography were also done, after that both plants stem sections were stained with CBB dye, Ls dye and Hple1 at different time intervals followed by analysis by ABAS computer software. With the help of these staining methods we can easily quantify even a small quantity of protein and in future we may identify the type of protein at different growth stages of plants, this method can also be applied on plants for quantifying other compounds e.g Alkaloids but for that purpose we need specific dye and desired software. For full and semi automation of microscope, we need different hardwares (Motors) and computer software. Semi automated microscope performed more than one task by computer and others were performed by human. In this research work, Vertical and Horizontal movement of stage of microscope (were observed by putting slide of section/image) controlled with the help of Stepper motor and computer programming in Visual Basic6 (VB6). For the 2D image analysis, ABAS image processing software was developed in Visual Basic. Net frame work (C#.net; pronounced C sharp dot net and Visual Basic.net; pronounced VB.net) computer language. Stained and unstained 2D images of three plants section determined by histograms (8-bit) and on the basis of their changes in staining colour, intensities of colour of unstained & stained plant section (2 images) was determine then protein content was analyzed with the help of formula and compared with each other.

بچوں کے اہم حقوق سیرت طیبہﷺ کی روشنی میں

Children are the future of the parents, family, nation, and country. But the future of children is becoming insecure due to the changing conditions of the present age and global conspiracies against humanity. The prophet (ﷺ) used to pray for children. In the same way, every parent wants to have kids. And they want their children to be mentally and physically healthy in every way. The Quran and Seerat-e-tayyaba guide us to the right of children so that if these rights are provided. The future of every child will be secured in this world and hereafter. Children’s rights are divided into two categories: 1: parental rights, and 2: postnatal rights. This article describes five prenatal rights and fifteen postnatal rights with arguments.

Efficient and Anonymous Multi-Server Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol Framework

On our way to switching from single-server to multi-server authentication, one of the great challenges is to design a secure and computationally efficient multi-server authentication protocol. Multi-server Authentication (MSA) relieves the user of separate and individualized registration procedures from various service providers in a network. Following MSA paradigm, a user gets registered from a trusted authority first, and then the former may benefit itself from any service being offered by any service provider without registering again, engendering overhead efficiency. Another objective for switching towards multi-server architecture was to relieve the user of maintaining multiple passwords as much as the number of servers. A robust MSA architecture makes the access of sever-oriented network services not only convenient but also readily available for users. The remote internet authentication often entails the type of multiserver authentications, which further underscores the need of MSA protocol’s efficiency and robustness against threats. The service providers in an MSA-based network authenticate and verify the users on the basis of credentials provided by Registration Centre (RC) to the users during registration phase. In traditional MSA protocols, service providers consult online RC for verifying the user’s authenticity after receiving a login request. Besides, we witness MSA protocols where RC is bypassed during mutual authentication between user and service provider. The latter class of schemes takes less communicational cost and eliminates few bottlenecks, perceptibly, due to bypassing trusted RC from mutual authentication phase. The research academia came up with many authentication protocols lately, to enhance security and minimizing communicational overhead. However, the presented solutions are costly due to employing expensive bilinear operations, on the first hand. Besides, there are light-weight MSA protocols as well, nevertheless bearing many other drawbacks making those protocols unfit for practical implementations. We address these problems by presenting a novel multi-server authentication protocol framework that is not only efficient but also free of the hassle of key management and distribution problems. The protocol framework comprises a blend of the usage of selected crypto-primitives, messages and participating entities in such a way that leads to overall efficiency and achieves the security objectives as well. In this dissertation, we present state-ofthe-art review on MSA-based protocols and then propose corresponding protocols to address the above limitations. Our proposed work not only contributes a light-weight multi-server authentication protocol framework that could establish mutual authentication without RC engagement, but also improves upon many MSA schemes (Trusted and Non-trusted environment) to enhance security and reduce communication or computational delay for establishment of an authenticated session key between user and server. To prove the security claims, the formal security analysis is performed for each protocol and the results are also validated and verified using automated simulation tools.
