This current project is dedicated to an easy, fast and one step method for the synthesis of metallic nanofluids. The gold (Au), silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles have been synthesized by ―laser ablation synthesis in liquid‖ (LASiL) method in de-ionized water. The purpose was to explore the dependence of various properties of metallic nanoparticles and nanofluids on the nature of laser (CW or pulsed). In order to prepare nanofluids, a low power continuous wave (CW) diode laser and a high power pulsed Nd:YAG laser have been utilized. The thermophysical and optical properties of the prepared nanofluids have been investigated to optimize the better laser for synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and nanofluids with desired properties. The morphological and structural properties of the nanoparticles have been analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Thermal and optical properties of the nanofluids are investigated by thermal conductivity of liquids and gases unit (TCLGU) and UV-Visible spectroscopy, respectively. The diagnostics revel that the synthesized nanoparticles are spherical in shape and have well defined sizes in the range of 1- 49 nm having crystalline structure. The resulting nanofluids exhibited the appreciable enhancement in thermal conductivities as compared to base liquid (de-ionized water). The optical band gap energies are found to be dependent on size of the nanoparticles. It is further inferred that size of nanoparticles can be tuned by the nature of laser.

سید ہاشمی فرید آبادی
سید ہاشمی فرید آبادی اردو کے نامور مصنف اور اردو زبان کے پرانے خدمت گذار تھے، برسوں بابائے اردو مولوی عبدالحق صاحب کے کاموں میں ان کے دست راست رہے، غالباً کچھ دنوں دارالترجمہ حیدرآباد سے بھی ان کا تعلق رہا تھا، انہوں نے جامعہ عثمانیہ کے لیے ہندوستان کی تاریخ پر کئی کتابیں تالیف و ترجمہ کیں، عین قیام پاکستان کے بعد وہ بھی مولوی عبدالحق صاحب کے ساتھ کراچی چلے گئے تھے، انھوں نے لاہور کے قدیم عمال و حکام، علماء و مشائخ اور شعراء و مصنفین کے حال میں ایک کتاب مآثر لاہور کے نام سے لکھی تھی۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، اگست ۱۹۶۴ء)

نجيب الكيلاني في مرآة الأدباء والشعراء

Dr. Najib Al- Kailani (1931-1995) is one of the prominent poet and writer of Arabic literature. The multidimensionality of his personality is rare example of the history of Islamic literature. He was a renowned poet, writer, a medical professional, a thinker and overall a great human being. He laid the foundation of the Islamic literature and introduced a sound methodology.  His precious literary works in Arabic and Islamic school of thought made his personality more prominent. He not only discusses the issues and challenges faced by Egyptian Muslims but also covers the whole Islamic world and as well as those Muslims who are in minority in their countries. His literary works are a good source of knowledge for not only the   general readers but for the intellectuals and writers as well. Research works are being carried out on different dimensions of his personality in different ways by the different universities in the world. Research articles and discussions are being carried out and conferences are also organized in different Arab countries in the memory of Dr Najib Al-Kailani. Kailani was paid rich tributes by Arab writers and thinkers for his unique wealth of literary works. In this article we present the views of Arabian writers about his literary status.

Increasing Rice Productivity Through System of Rice Intensification Sri at District Swat

System of rice intensification (SRI) has been recently developed in which during the vegetative growth period, soil is kept in moist condition after transplanting young seedling singly in square pattern with spacing 25 × 25 cm2. SRI is gaining recognition by farmers of many rice growing regions of the world for raising their rice productivity under limited water supply. However information on (SRI) is limited in Pakistan. Therefore, an on- farm study was conducted during 2010 and 2011 with an objective to access the performance of different chemical fertilizers on three local rice varieties under SRI and conventional management practices at Agricultural Research Institute (North) Mingora (Swat). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement and three replications. The two cultural practices, i.e., (1) SRI: transplanting 15 days old single seedling in a square arrangement with 25 × 25 cm2 spacing, and during the vegetative growth period, keeping the soil in moist condition, and (2) Traditional management practices, and having three rice cultivars and the names were (1) Dilrosh-97, (2) JP-5, and (3) Fakhre Malakand were assigned to main plots, whereas the fertilizer treatments were assigned to sub-plots (4m × 5m). Treatments of fertilizer were comprised, T1 = Control, T2 = 100-0-0-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1, T3 = 100-60-0-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1, T4 = 100-60-40-0 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1, and T5 = 100-60-40-20 kg N-P2O5-K2O-Zn ha-1. Before transplanting the phosphorous and potassium and half of the nitrogen fertilizers were incorporated into the soil. 7-10 days after transplanting zinc was applied,and the remaining half of N and P was applied in two equal splits at 25-30 days and 45-55 days after transplanting.The results showed statistically significant increase in panicles plant-1 number,tillers plant-1 number, height of plant, length of panicle, number of grains panicle-1, biological yield, paddy yield,thousand-grain weight,harvest index and dry weight of plant enhanced by 9.4%, 8.9%, 10.3%, 9.9%, 9.6%, 6.9%, 4.4%, 1.3%, 9.3% and 15.6% respectively under SRI as compared to the conventional cultivation practices. Among rice varieties Fakhre- Malakand outperformed the other rice varieties under the SRI practices. Similarly, compared to control, T5 improved panicles plant-1 number,height of plant, tillers plant-1 number , length of panicle, number of grains panicle-1, hilum yield, paddy yield, harvest index, thousand-grain weight and dry weight of plant of rice by 38.6%, 37.9%, 34.4%, 37.7%, 40.1%, 12.4%, 39.0%, 21.9%, 39.5%, and 66.1% respectively. It may be concluded from the study that system of rice intensification is a better method for rice cultivation as water accessibility is the major problem in rice production at district Swat. Furthermore, rice variety, Fakhre Malakand proved to be a suitable variety under SRI management practice and may be used to obtain higher rice production, where availability of irrigation water is limited.
