Pakistan is a subtropical, semiarid country of 79.61 M ha area, which relies heavily on agricultural production to supply food for its rapidly increasing population of over 135 million. The country is divided into four regions, two of which contain the majority of the flat topographic plains having the bulk of 21 M ha of cultivated land. There are two general cropping seasons in tropical flat plains of Pakistan i.e. Rabi (winter) and Kharif (summer) season. Cotton, maize, rice and wheat are the main crops of Pakistan. Majority of Pakistani soils are calcareous and alkaline with pH in the range 7.5 to 9.5. These soils reduce the availability of P considerably as P is converted to insoluble forms at this pH. Overall, P fertilizer application to Pakistani soils is inadequate. Energy crisis, high prices of phosphatic fertilizers and their shortage at peak crop requirement has become a serious issue in Pakistan. Rock phosphate (RP) has low bio-solubility of about 0.1 % under alkaline conditions if applied directly. Therefore, bio-solubilization RP to release P needs to be boosted up using some innovative approaches. Pakistan by default contains considerable quantity of economical reasonable quality RP in Abbottabad and Haripur districts. However, extensive scientific work is needed so that local rock phosphate may be used for P nutrition. Under this research plan four consecutive experimental units were performed to enhance total and water soluble P content in RP. In the first study, local and imported rock phosphates in combination with different materials of organic nature were applied. The purpose of above research proposal was to explore role of organic materials for P release from local & imported RP and P uptake by maize crop. Maximum solubilization of P was achieved when filter cake press mud (FCP) was applied in combination with rock phosphate. The 2nd study comprised of 7 treatments with three replications. Use of dewaxed filter cake press mud was evaluated as most suitable source of local rock phosphate. Third study of this research proposal comprised of 7 treatments which were replicated thrice. Combined use of FCP with RPR and TSP performed better than their individual use. Use of organic amendment improved soil organic carbon fraction of soil compared to control. The 4th study was conducted in the field using RCBD with five treatments. Exogenous application of FCP along with indigenous Hazara rock phosphate RPR and NK proved as better nutritional source compared to control. Further, application of selected organic manure (dewaxed filter cake press mud) improved soil organic carbon fraction in similar environment condition.

اِس میں تیراقصور بھی کیا ہے

اِس میں تیرا قصور بھی کیا ہے
مجھ کو تجھ سے پیار ہُوا ہے

خود ہی اپنا بُرا کیا ہے
تجھ کو کب الزام دیا ہے

تجھ کو کوئی افسوس نہیں کیا
میں نے خود کو مار لیا ہے

چاند کو جب بھی دیکھتا ہوں میں
دھیان میں پھر تُو آجاتا ہے

تیور تیرے بدلے بدلے
جانے تُو کیا سوچ رہا ہے

موم کی مورت ، چاند سی صورت
جانے دل کیوں پتھر سا ہے

تیری مجبوری سمجھی ہے
شکوہ تجھ سے کس نے کیا ہے

تیری ساری باتیں سچی
میں نے ہی سب جھوٹ کہا ہے

ہجر کا درد اُٹھا کر کوئی
گور کنارے اب پہنچا ہے

Students’ Perceptions Toward Bilingual Education at Icp Chemistry Education in Makassar

This study aims to find out: (1) students’ perceptions toward bilingual education in ICP (International Class Program) toward the use of two languages of instructions (English and Indonesian) by the lecturer in classroom. (2) to investigate its benefit for students in ICP chemistry education. The researcher adopted a descriptive qualitative research with a case study method. To gain the data, the researcher employed questionnaire with the students. The subjects in this study were 24 of students sixth semester belong to the International Class Program (ICP) chemistry education in State University of Makassar. The results of this study showed that there were the bilingual education helps the students to gain control their English skill. It showed that students’ positive perceptions toward the use of bilingual language as language instruction in the classroom by the lecturer. It is concluded that teaching chemistry in English facilitates the learners’ attempt in learning English.

Synthesis and Applications of Novel Coordination Polymers and Their Derivatives

Coordination polymers (CPs) have gained a great deal of attention because of their intriguing structures, beneficial uses in catalysis, drug-delivery, gas storage and separation etc. Four new CPs; CP-1 = [{CuII(4,4ʹ-dipy)2}{Ni(CN)4}]n·0.7(C2H6O2).1.6(H2O), CP-2 = [{NiII(4,4ʹdipy)4}{Ni(CN)4}]n·(4,4ʹ-dipy)·3H2O·C2H6O2, CP-3 = [Co3(pyz)(fa)3(dmso)2]n.2H2O and CP-4 = [{ZnII(4,4ʹ-dipy)2{Ni(CN)4}]n have been synthesized and fully characterized via range of analytical techniques. Two compounds, CP-1 and CP-2 were used as co-catalyst in combination with titania (TiO2) as efficient UV active photocatalysts for hydrogen generation from water-alcohol mixtures. Amongst different wt. % (2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%) loading of CP-1 and CP-2 on TiO2, the 5 wt. % CP-1/TiO2 and CP-2 /TiO2 composites displayed the hydrogen production rate of 9.2 mmol h-1 g-1 and 11.2 mmol h-1 g-1, respectively in 5 vol. % glycerol/water mixture. Other two compounds, i.e. CP-3 and CP-4 were implied as electrocatalysts for water oxidation reaction (WOR). CP-3 executed excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance at neutral pH by producing a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at a relatively low over-potential value (η = 337 mV) with a Tafel slope value of 80.5 mV dec-1. These results are superior than previously reported cobalt based CPs. Whilst, CP-4 offered a turn over frequency (TOF) value of 0.25 s-1 at an over-potential of 324 mV (vs. RHE) which is far superior than those reported for similar cyanide bridged CPs. In addition, CP-1 was used as a single source precursor of Cu-Ni nanoparticles dispersed over TiO2 for photocatalytic hydrogen production. Amongst various synthesized photocatalysts, 1 wt. % Cu-Ni/TiO2-470 showed the maximum H2 production activity of 8.5 mmol h-1 g-1 in 20 vol. % glycerol-water mixtures. Development of some cost-effective catalysts is the key finding of this study.
