Molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals method have been applied in the present study of alloys and ceramics. Vienna ab initio simulation package has helped to get the structures with minimum energy and maximum stability. Various other small packages were found to be helping to get typical parameters of interest. To investigate the effects of ordering on thermal properties of Ni3Al intermetallic alloy system, we applied molecular dynamics simulations. Semi-empirical potentials, based on the embedded atom method have been employed to calculate the lattice parameter, energy per atom, and radial distribution functions for the Ni3Al intermetallic alloy system. Thermal properties like thermal coefficient of linear expansion, specific heat, and melting temperature are deduced from the calculated parameters. Despite the simplicity of the model, results are found to compare well with the experimental data. Effects of atomic short range order on these parameters have also been studied. To study electronic structure and optical properties of the Ni3Al intermetallic alloy, we used first-principles orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals method. Disordered models at different temperatures were constructed using molecular dynamics and the Vienna ab initio simulation package. It is found that the average charge transfer from Al to Ni increases steadily with temperature until the liquid phase is reached. The localization index shows the presence of relatively localized states even above the Fermi level in the disordered models. The calculated optical conductivity of the ordered phase is rich in structures and in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. The spectra of the disordered Ni3Al models show a single broadened peak at 4.96 eV in the 0 K model which shifts towards 6.62 eV at 1400 K and then down to 5.83 eV in the liquid phase. Other results on the band structure and density of states are also discussed. The electronic structure, optical and spectroscopic properties of two ternary aluminum silicon carbide ceramics Al4SiC4 and Al4Si2C5 are studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on the orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals (OLCAO) method. Both crystals are shown to be small gap semiconductors with indirect band gaps of 1.05 and 1.02 eV respectively. The calculated xvi hole and electron effective mass and the interband optical properties, in the form of the complex dielectric function, show a high degree of anisotropy which can be traced to the unique structures of these two crystals. The calculated refractive indices are consistent with the values proposed in the literature. Mulliken effective charge and bond order calculations show that these crystals have a high degree of covalency with considerable charge transfer from Al and Si to the C atoms. The X-ray absorption near-edge-structure (XANES) for all crystallographically nonequivalent sites (K, and L-edge) are calculated and compared with those of cubic SiC. It is shown that the site-averaged Si-K and Si-L3 edges, and also the C-K edges are slightly different and broader than those of cubic SiC. Potential applications of these new ternary ceramics are also discussed.

کوئی طبیب ہی ایسا نہ چارہ گر کوئی

کوئی طبیب ہی ایسا نہ چارہ گر کوئی
کرے ہمارا مداوائے چشمِ تر کوئی

مرے وجود سے اُٹھنے لگی ہیں خوشبوئیں
کہ ایسے مجھ میں سمایا ہے عشوہ گر کوئی

میں اُس کو حالِ دلِ زار کیسے بتلاتا
مجھے ہوا نہ میسر پیام بر کوئی

مرے حضور یہ زندہ دلوں کی بستی ہے
نہ بے ضمیر یہاں پر نہ کم نظر کوئی

امیر شہر! یہ حالت تری رعایا کی
ہے پا برہنہ کوئی اور برہنہ سر کوئی

خدا کے واسطے ناصح ہمیں اجازت دے
کہ انتظار میں اپنے ہے بام پر کوئی

ہے میرے حال سے دنیا تو باخبر تائبؔ
ہے میرے حال سے کیوں اتنا بے خبر کوئی

پاکستانی دستور میں حکمرانوں کا تصور استحقاق اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں

Constitution is the basic code of every state system. There are laws for state administration, discipline and rulers in constitution. There are some privileges for the rulers in the Pakistani constitution. Among the privileges that Pakistani rulers have, laws of exception, protocol and luxury packages or facilities are included. In Pakistani constitution, the rulers also enjoy these privileges and according to the rules and regulation of parliament and senate. Our Constitution does not provide Parliamentarians any specific immunity against criminal actions as has been granted to the President as well as the Prime Minster. The only specific protection enjoyed by a Minister/Prime Minister is for official actions under powers of their office. The right of lessen or amendment in Sharīʻah penalty of the President of Pakistan is not right according to the Islamic Sharīʻah. But he can utilize honorary rights in criminological penalty. The Governor has the authority to dissolve the Provincial Assembly under certain circumstances during the emergency situation. If the ruler uses the option of freedom of opinion with deception, dishonesty and contempt of court then he should also be answerable. Sometimes rulers misuse their privileges and even exceed their powers. Discretionary options of the rulers must be under public interests. Such privilege rules must be amended which reflect inequality between rulers and masses. It is necessary to put the honorary rights of rulers under logic and there must be a law of behold for the unlawful usage of authority, so that the bad utilization of these laws can be prevented. Such reserved rights must be amended which enhance the concept of un-equity between the rulers and public. For the better administration harmony among the public and administration is necessary. In this research paper we will analyze the concept and importance of privileges mentioned in the Constitution of Pakistan in the light of Islamic teachings.

Effect of Chromium Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles on the Growth Performance, Organs Development, Intestinal Histo-Morphometry and Electrophysiology of Broilers

Effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles supplementation on growth, serum metabolites and intestinal histology in broilers The present research was aimed to evaluate the effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Cr-CNPs) on production performance, viscera development, serum metabolites and intestinal histology in broilers. Two hundred (200), one-day-old, broilers were randomly divided into five groups with five replicates (n=8). Birds in the first group served as control and were fed corn soya-bean based diet, while the remaining four supplemented groups were offered 200, 400, 800, and 1200 µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed, respectively, for 35 days. Weight gain, feed intake, and FCR remained unaffected with Cr-CNPs supplementation. No changes were observed in the relative weights of viscera. The relative length of the small intestine was decreased in birds supplemented with 200 and 800 µg Cr-CNPs/kg feed compared with the 1200 µg Cr-CNPs supplemented and control groups. Serum metabolites remained unaffected with Cr-CNPs supplementation except for the serum HDL that was increased. Cr-CNPs decreased the retention of chromium in the bone at higher concentrations. Jejunal villus height, villus surface area, and villus height to crypt depth ratio were increased in 800 µg Cr-CNPs supplemented group. In conclusion, Cr-CNPs did not affect growth performance, viscera development, and most of the serum metabolites but enhanced jejunal morphological attributes at 800 µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed. Effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles on the electrophysiological indices and glucose transporters in broilers The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Cr-CNPs) on electrophysiological indices, gene expression of glucose transporters and tissue glycogen in broilers. Two hundred (200), one-day-old, broilers were randomly divided into five groups (A, B, C, D, and E) each having five replicates (n=8). Group-A was fed a corn-soya-bean meal-based diet, while the diets of groups B, C, D, and E were supplemented with 200, 400, 800 and 1200µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed, respectively. On day 35, eight birds per treatment were killed to obtain segments of jejunum for electrophysiological study using Ussing chambers. Additionally, two birds per replicate were randomly killed to collect the jejunum for mRNA quantification of glucose transporters and tissues for the detection of glycogen content. The basal short-circuit current (Isc) and tissue conductance (Gt) before the addition of glucose were the same in all the groups. After the addition of glucose, change in short circuit current (ΔIsc) was decreased (P<0.05) in the birds supplemented with group C and group E compared with the control group without affecting change in tissue conductance (ΔGt). Gene expression of SGLT-1 and GLUT-2 remained unaffected (P<0.05) with Cr-CNPs supplementation. The liver glycogen content decreases (P<0.05) linearly with CrCNPs supplementation while no effects were observed in muscle glycogen content. In conclusion, Cr-CNPs supplementation decreases the glucose absorption and liver glycogen content in a dosedependent manner without affecting the gene expression of glucose transporters.
