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.

سیالکوٹ میں اردو شاعری کا ارتقا 1947 تا 2010

سیالکوٹ میں اردو شاعری کا ارتقاء(۱۹۴۷ ء تا۲۰۱۰)

سیالکوٹ ایک تاریخی اور ادبی خطہ  رہا ہے۔ اس کی تاریخ پانچ ہزار سال پر محیط ہے ۔یہ خطہ  جغرافیائی لحاظ سے اس مقام پر واقع ہے جہاں کئی آبی گذرگاہیں ہیں۔ کشمیر اور پنجاب کے دیگر تجارتی شہروں سے اس کا قریبی رابطہ ہے۔ سیالکوٹ تاریخی، ثقافتی، سماجی، تہذیبی، علمی اور ادبی لحاظ سے لاہور اور دوسرے ادبی، ثقافتی، تہذیبی، تاریخی اور علمی شہروں سے کسی طور پر بھی کم نہیں ۔ اس شہر کی ثقافت توانائی اور رنگا رنگی لیے ہوئے ہے۔ یہاں کے میلے ٹھیلے، روایتی تہوار اور دیگر ثقافتی سرگرمیاں اس  خطے  کو  ہمیشہ ممتاز کرتی رہی ہیں۔      
سیالکوٹ کو اقبال و فیض کے مولد ہونے کا لا زوال فخر حاصل ہے۔ یہ ایک صنعتی شہر ہے۔ اس کی آبادی تقریباً تیس لاکھ سے زیادہ نفوس پر مشتمل ہے سر زمین سیالکوٹ صدیوں کی انسانی تہذیب و تمدن اور ادب و ثقافت کا عظیم الشان گہوارہ ہے ۔ اس دھرتی کے تاریخی آثار  مدت سے مورخین و ماہرین آثار قدیمہ کی دلچسپی کا سامان بھی رہے ہیں ۔ یہاں کی تہذیب ٹیکسلا اور موہنجو ڈارو کی تہذیبوں کے ہم پلہ ہے۔
   سیالکوٹ کی مٹی بڑی زرخیز اور مردم خیز ہے ۔سرزمین سیالکوٹ نے علم و ادب اور فنون لطیفہ کے میدانوں میں گراں قدر خدمات سرانجام دی ہیں۔ اس خطے کے باشندوں  نے پاکستان کی صنعتی  و اقتصادی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ علم و فن کی خدمت بھی جاری رکھی ۔ ماضی میں ملا کمال کشمیری ، ملا عبدالحکیم سیالکوٹی، امین حزیں سیالکوٹی ، اثر صہبائی، مرزا ریاض  اور غلام الثقلین نقوی نے علمی وادبی حوالے سے سیالکوٹ کا نام روشن کیا۔ مولوی میر حسن ، مولوی ابراہیم میر، ڈاکٹر جمشید راٹھور اور یوسف سلیم چشتی نے علم کی پیاس بجھائی۔...

Islamic Studies and Private Universities in South-West Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects

Islamic Studies is one of the core and pertinent courses offered and taught at both private and public universities in Nigeria. The subject prepared its graduates to have potentialities, capabilities man power in teaching, administration, politics, economic, legislation and judiciary in Nigeria. Despite these significant contributions, the subject has confronted with a lot of deprivations in the enrollment of students, recruitment of staff and availability of physical and instructional materials. Based on these, the paper therefore, intends to explore the teaching and learning of Islamic studies in the south west Nigeria private universities, identify problems facing its teaching and learning and proffer solutions to these predicaments. The methodology adopted is analytical with information from both oral interview and written sources from libraries in Nigeria. Among the findings of the study are that the Subject-Islamic studies needs more experts to teach its core courses in private universities in Nigeria and students who wish to enroll for the subject should have rudiments of the discipline before admission.   

Developing Genetic Programming Based Image Denoising Systems

During acquisition or transmission, the visual quality of digital images is deteriorated due to the occurrence of impulse and speckle noises. These noises adversely effect various applications in image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision and medical imaging. Due to emerging imaging applications, recent trend is to develop application specific denoising systems. In this thesis, genetic programming (GP) based various denoising systems are developed for impulse and speckle noises. The proposed GP based evolutionary systems have effectively developed the domain specific denoising models that select the optimal informative features from the corrupted images. In the first phase of research, the genetic programming based mixed impulse denoising (GP-MID) system is developed to improve the visual quality of corrupted digital images. In this system, GP has optimally/near-optimally selects suitable statistical features to remove noise. In the second phase, the genetic programming based multi-type impulse denoising (GP-MuID) system is developed for corrupted digital images. This system has successfully removed salt & pepper, uniform impulse, mixed impulse and impulse burst noises, simultaneously. In the third phase, an advanced version of multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP) based biomedical image denoising (MGGP-BmID) system is developed to improve the visual quality of biomedical images. In the last phase, the multi-gene genetic programming based ultrasound image denoising (MGGP-UsID) system is developed to denoise speckle from ultrasound images. The improved performance of the GP based systems is obtained for diverse types of natural and biomedical images. The comparative analysis with existing approaches highlights the effectiveness of the proposed GP based evolutionary denoising systems. The improved denoising performance is achieved by the proposed GP based systems. It is because, during evolutionary learning process, the useful statistical features and primitive functions from a wider solution space are optimally/near-optimally combined to develop GP based intelligent noise detectors and estimators for image denoising problems.
