Composite nano-films of TiO2-Ge were grown by ‘pulsed laser deposition’ (PLD) technique on Si wafers while deposition conditions were changed. Firstly single run deposition for a longer time (30 min) with varying Ge concentration in N and p-type polished Si wafers. Secondly films were deposited as single, bi- and tri-layers on n-type polished and unpolished Si wafers such that each layer was deposited for 5 mins. In the first batch of samples target-substrate distance was varied to find its effect on optoelectronic properties of film. It was observed that Ge concentration decreased as target-substrate separation was increased. Also substrate type and separation between target and substrate effected the crystallinity, optical & electrical response of film. On p-type (111) Si wafer thin films showed dominant amorphous behaviour with decreasing Ge concentration. Thin films deposited on Si wafer showed an improvement in crystallinity as target-substrate distance was increased resulting in decrease in crystallite size, increase in defects and strains. Raman spectroscopic results and EDX analysis confirmed the Ge presence in all the samples. Ge identification in Raman and its non-identification through XRD may possibly be due to non-crystalline nature of Ge. Composite nature was identified by the Ge peak related to cubic structure rather than tetragonal (i.e. did not follow crystalline structure of TiO2) i.e. no doping occurred. Films grown at a distance of 6 cm from the target showed better optoelectronic properties which exhibited minimum reflectance but maximum direct and indirect absorption transitions it is also confirmed by its photoluminescence (PL) response. It has a constant refractive index with a stable extinction coefficient. This film demonstrated a positive dielectric constant and a negligible dielectric loss confirming its stable optoelectronic behaviour which was confirmed by its I-V response. Better optoelectronic response for the above mentioned film can be positively due to strains and size reduction of crystallite size. In the second batch of experiment single, di- and tri-layered composite films were grown on polished and n-type unpolished Si (100) wafer. Amorphous nature was observed dominantly in all the samples. Di-layered film deposited on polished n-type Si wafer showed a better optical response which is due to minimum variation in its n. Maximum direct and indirect transitions are also observed in it and a broad PL peak is observed around 2-3.5 eV. Although it does not show better electrical properties as compared to tri-layered thin films but overall optoelectronic response of this film is better as compared to other samples. The reason may be the outcome of crystalline nature of film. Thin films (for 5 min) shows reduced crystallinity and hence optoelectronic response in comparison to that for 30 min, this variance can be attributed to the reduced thickness of film. Single layer film has variable n responsible for lower dielectric constant and hence lowest electrical response.

سروسز (ملازمتوں) کی تسعیر کے شرعی مسائل

The word pricing is one of the four Ps of Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place and Promotion) and the most important and attractive one as it bears profit and income for producer and employee. Using various pricing strategies, a rate is fixed for a product or service in order to get suitable profit. If it is not taken care, the business or service may cause you loss financially. Like this term is used in production, it is also practiced in services in order to determine inflation rates and fixing daily wages and monthly salaries, for which various pricing strategies and arithmetic formulas are used. In this paper I have come up with introduction of Pricing in Modern and Islamic perspective and then limiting the topic to pricing in services, I discussed various Shariah issues of Pricing in services in the light of Quran and Sunnah. 

Semi-Automated Landslide Detection and Susceptibility Modelling Using Geospatial Tools in Northern Pakistan

Landslides are frequent hazard in the mountainous region of Pakistan with significant threat to surrounding infrastructure and communities. Landslide inventories and susceptibility maps are prerequisite for landslide hazard mitigation; however, these are rarely available for most of the mountainous areas in northern Pakistan. Traditionally, landslide inventory is manually developed through visual interpretation of remote sensing image and aerial photographs. Recently, Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) image classification technique is effectively applied to high resolution remote sensing data for rapid and precise landslide detection and temporal change analysis. However, due to unavailability of timely and optimal remote sensing data, OBIA methods are rarely applied for quick post-disaster landslide inventory and susceptibility assessment. Aim of this study is to utilize manual and semi-automated techniques for landslide inventories and susceptibility assessment. The selected study areas include Hunza-Nagar valley of Gilgit Baltistan and Muzaffarabad region of Azad Kashmir in northern Pakistan.For Hunza Nagar valley, landslide inventory was developed using visual interpretation of the SPOT-5 multi-spectral data in 3D environment. The acquired landslide inventory is correlated with seven landslide causative factors through Weight of Evidence and Frequency Ratio techniques, to developed landside susceptibility map for the study area. The produced landslides susceptibility maps are validated by the success rate and area under curves criteria. The prediction powers of the statistical models are also validated with the prediction rate curve. It is observed that Weight of Evidence modeling is suited for landslide susceptibility mapping in the study area. The developed landslide inventory and susceptibility map can be used for landslide disaster mitigation strategies. However, it was observed that manual development of landslide inventory over a large area is laborious and time consuming.OBIA technique is used for rapid and precise detection of landslides in the Muzaffarabad and Balakot surrounding regions in northern Pakistan. Transferability and efficiency of the three existing OBIA landslide detection methods are assessed for landslide detection. OBIA technique is modified and applied to the SPOT-5, SPOT-6 and ALOS PALSAR DEM data for landslides detection in the Muzaffarabad and Balakot region. The SPOT-6 multi-spectral data with ALOS PALSAR DEM derivatives e.g. slope, aspect, hill-shade, vi elevation and streams are used for semi-automated landslide detection. The spectral, contextual, textural, spatial and morphological characteristics of landslide in remote sensing image are assessed for landslide identification. Moreover, a semi-automated method is developed to use the recently launched and freely available Sentinel-2 MSI data for near-real time landslide monitoring and temporal change detection. NDVI, terrain slope and mean brightness were found useful for landslide recognition in the area. The resultant semi-automated landslide inventories are validated through confusion matrix. The temporal change analysis shows that landslides area and numbers are increased from the year 2016 to 2018 in the study area. The developed semi-automated method using the Sentinel-2 time series data depicts that the Sentenil-2 data could be used for rapid post-disaster landslide detection, monitoring and spatio-temporal change analysis in the landslide prone areas over a regional scale. OBIA based landslide inventory for the year 2018 used for landslide susceptibility assessment in the study area. The proposed OBIA method can help to develop landslide inventory relatively quickly, and hereafter has the capability to be used for landslide susceptibility, hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment. Moreover, the results from this study can help in disaster risk mitigation and quick inventory and susceptibility assessment in the aftermath of a landslide triggering events like earthquake or rainfall.
