New methods for the liquefaction of Biomass were investigated and explored. These methods are based on the heat produced by microwave metal interaction. It utilizes microwave energy for the decomposition of biomass. The metal acts as antenna as well as heat generating medium. In this work three metals were used as the antenna. These are iron, copper and aluminium. The effect of the shape of antenna on the yield and efficiency of the process were investigated. Biomass was pyrolysed in all these antennas containing reactors in the microwave oven. These reactions were carried out both in the presence and absence of catalyst. Three types of catalysts i.e. Cement, kaolin and clinkered were used. These catalysts were intended to increase the yield and facilitate the pyrolysis process. The use of these catalysts also reduces consumption of energy. Each of the catalyst was used in different metal antenna in separate experiments. The amount of each of catalyst was optimized in the range of 1:1-1:10 ratio for obtaining maximum yield and conversion. The results for the process were found according to the predictions. In each case biomass was converted into aqueous and oily liquids, gases and char like residue by the microwave metal interaction pyrolysis. The volatile products were collected in cold traps while the amount of gases was determined by difference. The oily product of the pyrolysis was analysed using GC/MS and some chemical tests. It was observed that the nature of active species of the pyrolysis determines the nature of products and these itself depends upon the microwave flux and heat generated in addition to the activity of catalyst as well as catalytic activity of the metals.

المبحث الثاني: مأساۃ الحياۃ وأغنية للإنسان

المبحث الثاني: مأساۃ الحياۃ وأغنية للإنسان
"مطولة شعرية"
تکتب الشاعرۃ العراقیۃ المشھورۃ " نازك الملائکۃ" في دیوانھا المعروف "دیوان نازک الملائکۃ" أنھا تشرح الظروف الزمنیۃ والنفسیۃ والفکریۃ التي مرت بھا خلال کتابۃ مطولتھا الشعریۃ ’’مأساۃ الحیاۃ وأغنیۃ للإنسان‘‘ عبر عشرین عاماً من سنۃ 1945م إلی 1965م، وتقول : ’’یضم الأثر الشعري الذی أضعہ بین یدي القاریء في ھذا الکتاب ثلاث صور شعریۃ لقصیدۃ واحدۃ أولھا قد نظم بین سنۃ 1945م و 1946م وثانیھا قد نظم سنۃ 1950م وثالثھا متأخر التاریخ حتی 1965م، ویمکن أن تعد کل قصیدۃ من ھذہ القصائد الطویلۃ مستقلۃ عن الأخریین، لو لا أنني قد نسخت بعض الأبیات أحیاناً فنقلتھا من قصیدۃ إلی أخری علی اعتبار أنھا ما زالت ترضي ذوقي رغم مرور السنین‘‘۔
وتقول إنھا نظمت القصیدۃ الأولی عام 1945م وکان عمرھا إذ ذاک اثنین وعشرین عاماً۔ وعندما بدأت في نظم ھذہ المطولۃ فإن دیوانھا الأول (عاشقۃ اللیل) لم یظھر إلی الوجود بعد۔ وأنھا کانت تکثر من قراء ۃ الشعر الإنکلیزي فأعجبت بالمطولات الشعریۃ التي نظمھا الشعراء وأرادت أن یکون في الوطن العربي مطولات مثلھم، فبدأت في نظم القصیدۃ وسمتھا "مأساۃ الحیاۃ" وھذہ القصیدۃ دلیل علی تشاؤمھا المطلق، وأنھا کانت تشعر بأن الحیاۃ کلھا ألم وإبھام وتعقید۔ وتقول: ’’وقد اتخذت للقصیدۃ شعاراً یکشف عن فلسفتي فیھا ھو ھذہ الکلمات للفیلسوف الألماني المتشائم ’’شوبنھاور‘‘: "لست أدري لما ذا نرفع الستار عن حیاۃ جدیدۃ کلما أسدل علی ھزیمۃ وموت۔ لست أدري لماذا نخدع أنفسنا بھذہ الزوبعۃ التي تثور حول لا شيء؟ حتّام نصبر علی ھذا الألم الذي لا ینتھي؟ متی نتدرع بالشجاعۃ الکافیۃ فنعترف بأن حب الحیاۃ أکذوبۃ وأن أعظم نعیم للناس جمیعاً ھو الموت؟"۔
یتضح من ذلک أن الشاعرۃ کانت متشائمۃ مثل الشاعر الانکلیزي شوبنھاور وربما تشاؤمھا یفوق تشاؤم شوبنھا ور لأنھا ھي بنفسھا تعترف بھذا الشيء فتقول:’’والواقع أن تشاؤمي قد فاق تشاؤم شوبنھاور نفسہ، لأنہ۔ کما یبدو۔کان یعتقد أن الموت نعیم لأنہ...

اسلام میں امن اور دہشت گردی کا تصور: ایک علمی اور تحقیقی جائزہ

Islam is the religion of peace as is evident from the very meaning of  the word Islam which is derived from root word \" salam\" meaning peace and obedience. The advent of Islam has been a pannaca for all humanity and, ever since its inception, it has the distinction of contributing more and more to the betterment and progress of humanity. Its statute is crystal clear over all religions and systems. But unfortunately, there has been a systematic campaign to present Islam as a religion of violence. The  orientalists who tend  to misinterpret Islam by relying on some injunctions without looking into their specific context. The international media, under the influence of Jews, is also spreading a false propaganda. Moreover, certain elements with in Islamic world are also providing ample opportunity for the same. In such circumstances there is a dire  need to present the true spirit of Islam but such attempts are lacking in the Muslim world despite that it is one  of the major concern, This research paper is an attempt to present Islam in its true spirit in light of holy Quran and Sunnah. It is hoped that it would pave way for further research in the field.

Fully Printable Rfid Tags Towards Internet of Things

O viii growing requirements of IT, backscattering chipless RFID tags are then designed and optimized with in a compact size for high data bits, flexibility, reliability, and printability. Different Ink materials are used in tag design to observe its behavior. Integrated sensors along with printed electronics enhances its significance. Moisture and temperature sensor tags are designed and realized for harsh environments. Currently, the growth of RFID technology can be categorized in two dimensions. The one covers the standalone RFID systems and the other is paving the path for ultramodern wireless communication to serve various functions such as sensor, broadcasting, navigation etc. One of the significant area of interest of RFID system is increased data capacity in a smaller footprint, so that large number of RFID tags can be deployed capable of transmit more information. Tag structures of different size and shapes are realized to promote the concept of data dense compact chipless RFID tags. The aforementioned research is motivated by the fact of need for low-cost passive sensor devices. The emphasize is on unique blend of RFID tags with integrated sensors which reflects the cost-effectiveness with robustness. The sensors propose in the research work are independent of discrete sensing components. The current research presenting novel chipless RFID sensors, for detecting and monitoring environmental changes (humidity sensing and temperature sensing). These sensors are in high demands of modern communication era and can be incorporated in various industrial applications. The consequential novel chipless RFID sensor tags having sensing functionality have potential to be deployed in numerous applications and have considered as best choice to be utilized in IoT applications.
