The role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria for improving yield and essential oil contents in Rosa damascena Mill. was evaluated in this study. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were isolated from the rhizosphere of Rosa damascena in first experiment, fifteen distinctive and fast growing rhizobacterial colonies (strains) were chosen to inoculate the Rosa cuttings by dipping in them. Results of the pot experiments revealed that most of the isolates showed growth promoting activities in Rosa cuttings except the isolates B5 which was proved to be growth limiting strain as it gave 20-40% less result for all parameters. All the other strains enhanced cutting growth characters up to 30- 60% compared to control. Strains LSI19, F6 and LC4 were proved to be superior strains in all growth attributes. Therefore, these three strains (LSI19, F6 and LC4) were selected for further studies. Three separate field experiments were laid out in factorial arrangement under randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Total eight inoculum combinations were made from three PGPR strains (alone and in different combination) for each experiment. Second experiment comprised of root application of eight combinations of PGPR treatments in the form of liquid inoculum along with zero, half of recommended and recommended dose of nitrogen and phosphorus. Maximum plant growth and production was observed in all PGPR treatments at NP @ 60 and 20 g/m2 only the stem diameter was found maximum when PGPR treatments were applied along with NP @ 30 and 10 g/m2. Combination of PGPR strains perform better than individual strains when applied at all three levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Results regarding essential oil contents showed that PGPR combination of F6, LC4 and LSI19 at NP fertilization @ 30 and 10 g/m2 provided the highest concrete and absolute oil percentage but increasing levels of NP ultimately reduced oil contents. Third experiment comprised of foliar application of similar PGPR combinations, in which PGPR treatments were applied at three different growth stages (on new shoots after pruning, after flower bud formation and at flower burst). Results exhibited that plant growth and flower yield attained maximum values in triple inoculum of F6, LC4 and LSI19. Application of PGPR strains on new shoots after pruning (GS1) showed much better results regarding reproductive growth and flower yield than other growth stages while vegetative growth characters were enhanced by application of PGPR strains after flower bud formation (GS2). Last experiment was designed to assess the PGPR combinations by two methods of application (root and foliar). The results showed that plant growth, biomass of flowers, N contents in shoots and P contents in leaves and shoots were significantly improved by root application of PGPR strains while flower yield and N contents in leaves were improved with foliar application of PGPR strains. PGPR inoculation by different methods (root and foliar) significantly affected oil yield and chemical composition of essential oil. Overall results for all studies reflected that yield of Rosa damascena was enhanced with the application of PGPR inocula either single or in combination. However, co-inoculation performed better than individual inoculation.

دل کے آنگن پھول کھلا ہے

دل کے آنگن پھول کھلا ہے
پیار کی جو خوشبو دیتا ہے

سب کے جھوٹ کو سچ کہتا ہے
دیکھو وہ کتنا بھولا ہے

نقش زمانے کے بھولے ہیں
ہم کو یاد بس اک چہرہ ہے

جب سے اس نے شہر ہے چھوڑا
سونا سونا ہر رستہ ہے

کیوں ہیں تیری باتیں کرتے
ہم کو جانے کیا ملتا ہے

گھور تھکن ہے جیون رہ میں
اور کتنا رستہ رہتا ہے

دیکھو ہر شاعر کے گھر کا
اُلٹا پُلٹا سب نقشہ ہے

اور تو کیا ہے عمر کی پونجی
یادوں کا بس اک بستہ ہے

المصادر في القراءات القرآنية بين النصب والرفع

 In Arabic language the source from which all nouns and verbs are derived is called  (المصدر). Verbal noun (Al-Masdar:  (المصدر  is a very important derivative in Arabic. It is a noun derived from the verb to refer to the action or activity implied in the verb, e. G.  ((كتابة   “writing” as a process- derived from the verb (كتب) to  “write”. A verbal noun represents a change in the form of a verb which allows it to be used as a noun in a sentence. Verbal noun is a type of noun which can bear the article (ال) or tanwin   (تنوين ) and can be declined according to the sentence i.e. Nominative, accusative and genitive case. This article deals with the verbal nouns in the Holy Quran that appeared once in the nominative case and in other Qiraat it was read as accusative case. For e.g. (Al-Hamd) is read as nominative and accusative form. الرفع على قراءة حفص: ( الحمدُ لله رب العالمين ) و فى قراءة أخرى : ( الحمدَ لله رب العالمين ) Likewise other examples are: (سورةٌ أنزلناها )- (سورةً أنزلناها) (سلامٌ عليك)- (سلامًا عليك) Similarly : النصب على قراءة حفص: ( و بالوالدين إحسانًا) و فى قراءة أخرى : ( و بالوالدين إحسانٌ) Thus, the article highlights the semantic treasures embedded in the Qiraat of the Holy-Quran.

Study of Cure Kinetics, Chemorheological and Thermal Behaviour of Different Formulations of Dgeba Epoxy

Advanced composite industry use various methods to fabricate the composite components. The selection of fabricating method is a matter of required specific design of composite, cost effectiveness, manufacturing challenges, high volume production of the material and application. Various resin infusion techniques are being employed to meet the production challenges. Rapid resin transfer molding (RTM) is one of the vacuum assisted method for resin infusion. The resin required by RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) must have very low viscosity for fast injection into the mold cavity and into the reinforcement fabric at room temperature. Resin should also show high cure rate/short gel time when heated in the mold at its cure temperature. In this research work various formulations were developed based on DGEBA epoxy for rapid RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) process. The aim was to develop the resin formulations with low viscosity and long gel time at room temperature for quick mold filling, and very fast curing once the resin is heated inside the mold at its curing temperature. A commercially available DGEBA based epoxy resin (D.E.R.™ 331™) was used as base resin. Triethylene-tetraamine (TETA) (D.E.H.™24) an aliphatic polyamine was employed as curing agent. The viscosity of resin was varied by adding an epoxy based reactive diluent whereas the resin cure rate was enhanced by adding imidazole in the formulations. The formulations were developed by varying the mole ratios of epoxy, amine, diluent and imidazole. Several epoxy resin formulations were studied and compared with the commercially available infusion-grade epoxy system of Araldite LY 8601/Aradur 8602. DSC was employed to monitor the in-situ cure reaction by using isothermal and non-isothermal modes of measurements. Activation energy of cure reaction for each formulation was calculated using the Kissinger and the Ozawa equations. Model free analysis was used to evaluate dependence of activation energy on degree of cure. Addition of imidazole effectively reduces the activation energy of cure reaction of base epoxy from 57.5 kJ/mol to 46.5 kJ/mol. The diluent was added to lower the viscosity of resin and to enhance the resin flow behavior but it slows down the rate of reaction which is compensated by addition of 5% imidazole. Rate of cure reaction was increased as the temperature was increased which is depicted by degree of cure and glass transition temperature increase. At higher degree of cure, Tg values were utilized to vi evaluate the degree of cross linking at higher temperatures of cure. A relation between Tg and degree of cure was developed. Epoxy and amine with 10% diluent and 5% imidazole (DD/5I/10E) formulation was capable of getting maximum cured within 5 minutes at 100 ℃. Chemorheological studies were carried out to monitor the resin flow behavior. Viscosity at room temperature was measured and a time-viscosity relation was developed at various temperatures to measure viscous flow activation energy. Lowest viscosity was observed for commercially available infusion-grade epoxy system of Araldite LY 8601/Aradur 8602 at any temperature, whereas epoxy and amine with 10% diluent and 5% imidazole (DD/5I/10E) formulation showed the lowest viscosity of 1.04 Pa.s at 1 s-1 shear rate at room temperature. Fastest gelation (26s) was achieved by pure epoxy and amine formulation (DD). Thermal stability of developed formulations were calculated by TGA. All the developed formulations were found to be thermally quite stable more than 300 °C it was observed that addition of imidazole makes base resin thermally more stable. Maximum thermal stability was shown by formulation with 5% imidazole i.e. 380 °C. TGA thermograms were recorded at various heating rates and the activation energies of degradation were determined for all the formulations using Kissinger’s equation. Viscoelastic behavior of maximum cured formulations was also studied by DMA. Among all the values obtained for storage moduli (E′) the lowest values was found to be 1109 MPa associated with epoxy and amine with 10% diluent and 5% imidazole (DD/5I/10E) formulation. Among all the values of loss moduli (E″) for all the formulations the highest value, 212 MPa, was also observed for epoxy and amine with 10% diluent and 5% imidazole (DD/5I/10E) formulation. The results show that epoxy systems such as that containing 5% imidazole and 10% reactive diluent are suitable for the rapid RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) process with balanced flow and cure characteristics.
