Housefly, Musca domestica L. is a cosmopolitan insect pest responsible for causing nuisance, food spoilage and act as a vector of many pathogenic diseases in man and animals. Insecticide resistance in M. domestica is becoming a major concern therefore alternative control measures are getting importance. Entomopathogenic fungi provide the potential for the management of M. domestica due to its natural prevalence in M. domestica populations. Keeping in view the importance of this pest and potentials of entomopathogenic fungi for its management following experiments were conducted. The virulence of different local isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae (Metschnikof) Sorokin and Isaria fumosorosea (Wize) Brown and Smith on M. domestica was evaluated by two bioassay techniques i.e., immersion and bait method for both larvae and adults. Data evidently showed a broad range of concentration dependent response on both stages (larvae and adults).In addition, due to the lower LC50 values and shorter lethal time B. bassiana (Bb-01), M. anisopliae var. anisopliae (Ma-4.1) and I. fumosorosea (If-03) proved to be the most virulent isolates against the housefly larvae and adults. In addition, fungal infections reduced the survival of housefly regardless of their sex and decreased the egg production in females. The effect of concentration and exposure time of entomopathogenic fungi, B. bassiana (Bb-01, Bb-08), M. anisopliae var. anisopliae (Ma-2.3, Ma-4.1) and I. fumosorosea (If-03) isolates were evaluated for M. domestica survival. B. bassiana, M. anisopliae var. anisopliae and I. fumosorosea have shown to infect and reduce the survival of M. domestica with a concentration dependent response for all the tested fungal isolates. Moreover, longer exposure to higher concentrations resulted in maximum reduction in M. domestica survival. B. bassiana (Bb 01) and M. anisopliae var. anisopliae (Ma-4.1) isolates proved to be more pathogenic to M. domestica than other isolates. The effect of B. bassiana, M. anisopliae var. anisopliae and I. fumosorosea in combination with some synthetic insecticides (acetamiprid, bifenthrin, emamectin benzoate, fipronil, imidacloprid and lufenuron) against M. domestica was assessed using a bait method. Flies showed concentration dependent response and insecticides i.e. acetamiprid, emamectin benzoate, imidacloprid and lufenuron showed higher mortality in combination with insect pathogenic fungi than expected with significantly synergistic interactions. Application of fungi and insecticides mixtures showed a noteworthy reduction in adult longevity, fecundity, egg hatching, percent pupation and pupal weight, while larval and pupal durations were prolonged (P<0.05). In addition, the combined effects of B. bassiana, M. anisopliae var. anisopliae and I. fumosorosea with insecticides (chlorpyriphos, deltamethrin, endosulfan and profenophos) were evaluated against M. domestica using the bait method. M. domestica showed a wide range and concentration dependent response towards combined treatments of fungi and insecticides i.e. deltamethrin and endosulfan showed higher mortality in combination with entomopathogenic fungi than expected with significant synergistic interactions. Further, the combined effects of fungi and insecticide mixtures showed a significant effect on the biological parameters including longevity, fecundity, percent hatching, larval duration, percent pupation, pupal weight and duration of M. domestica and its progeny, except for adult emergence and sex ratio. Supplementing, effectiveness of nine different insecticides (acetamiprid, bifenthrin, chlorpyriphos, deltamethrin, emamectin benzoate, fipronil, imidacloprid, lufenuron and profenophos) were evaluated for their impacts on biological and biochemical parameters of M. domestica with the aid of bait method. Adult M. domestica showed a wide-ranging and concentration dependent response towards insecticides. Calculated LC10, LC30 and LC50 of insecticides showed impact on biological aspects i.e., longevity, fecundity, hatching percentage, pupation percentage pupal weight, pupal period, adult emergence and sex ratio of M. domestica. In addition, enzyme activity at LC10, LC30 and LC50 of insecticides showed elevated levels of total glutathione S-transferases (GST), total esterases (EST), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), acid and alkaline phosphates activities. Moreover, impact of B. bassiana, M. anisopliae var. anisopliae and I. fumosorosea isolates on life history traits and detoxification enzymes activities of M. domestica were evaluated. Baits were incorporated with LC10, LC30 and LC50 concentrations as treatment levels and concentration dependent response was observed with significant reduction in adult longevity, fecundity, pupal weight and pupal duration (P<0.05). However, hatching percentage, larval duration, pupal percentage, adult emergence and sex ratio were non-significantly different after fungal application in the progeny. Fungal application resulted in elevated levels of total GST, total EST, acid and alkaline phosphatases. In addition, suppressed activity of AChE was observed after fungal treatment at 0.05% significance level. The combination of B. bassiana and imidacloprid was investigated against a susceptible and a resistant M. domestica population. Fungus and insecticide were tested alone and in combinations at LC30. Significant synergistic interactions between B. bassiana and imidacloprid were observed with increased mortality rates of the combined treatment as compared to individual treatment in housefly strains 772a (susceptible) and 766b (resistant). Significant differences in the GST and P450 activities for both strains were found. Female 766b flies caused 15- to 237-fold increases in gene expression of xenobiotics for B. bassiana and 23- to 120-fold changes for imidacloprid. B. bassiana, M. anisopliae var. anisopliae and I. fumosorosea derived toxic crude proteins were evaluated against M. domestica survival. A significant effect was observed on the survival of M. domestica with isolates Bb-01, Ma-4.1, and If-03 which showed maximum percent mortalities exhibiting a concentration and exposure time based response. The crude protein concentrations i.e., 8 and 10 mg/mL caused the maximum mortality (100.0%) of M. domestica population in 2.1 to 3.8 days. In addition, the lowest exposure of duration (96 hrs) of houseflies to B. bassiana (Bb-01) crude protein (10 mg/mL) caused 100.0% mortality of tested population as compared to other isolates.

دکھ تکلیف نہ آوس تتی وا نہ لگس شالا نی
نام حنیف لے جیواں اس دا، پیار دی جپ کے مالا نی

حرص دی دنیا ظالم، آخر ہونا فانی ایں
دنیا دولت پچھے نسے، خلقت ہوئی دیوانی ایں
اس دنیا وچ دل لا رکھنا، ویکھو کیڈ نادانی ایں

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. 

Neuromorphic Hardware Design

In this thesis, a novel technique to embed synaptic plasticity in neuromorphic hardware is proposed named as Frequency Dependent Synaptic Plasticity. This technique provides an alternate interpretation for plasticity which was conventionally modeled as weight value. In the proposed model of neuromorphic hardware, plasticity is implemented in frequency domain by considering a synaptic connection performing bandpass filtering operation. Currently most of the neuromorphic hardware are based on time domain based plasticity techniques. The proposed model attempts to contribute and suggest an out of the box solution for neurocomputational applications. It has been established through this thesis that the proposed model is biologically plausible in terms of implementation of different phenomena observed in a biological brain such as rate-encoding by Class I type of neuron, decoding of rate-encoded information by selective triggering at post synaptic side, resonance aware synaptic plasticity, population coding, role and interpretation of tuning curve, and frequency based neuronal communication. The proposed hardware operates in analog domain which is closer to the operational domain of brain as compared to its digital counterpart. This thesis also proposes a novel architecture to embed population coding on neuromorphic hardware. Further, it is explained in this thesis that a synaptic junction based on proposed model has a non linear transfer function which omits the requirement of hidden layer in classifying non-linear problems. This will allow applications to use least possible resources, employing input and output nodes only, as compared to a network based on linear weight values.
