Fermentation is a fundamental part of microbial biotechnology that aids in the production of value-added products. For an optimum fermentation process a microbial strain must be chosen and refined for required product. Plant biomass has remarkable benefits of producing both products and energy. For comprehensive hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, several enzymatic reactions are implicated. Xylanases are the enzymes that participate in the cleavage of internal β-(1,4)-linked D-xylosyl glycosidic bonds in hetroxylan to produce short xylooligosaccharides. The current study is established to produce xylanase from filamentous fungi Aspergillus niger KIBGE-IB36. The synthesis of xylanase was enhanced by optimizing different medium components and physical parameters. The high production of xylanase was achieved at 30°C and pH 8.0 after 06 days of fermentation period. The high yield of xylanase was achieved with 20.0 gL-1 xylan as carbon source with 5.0 gL-1 of meat extract and peptone as a nitrogen source, respectively. The xylanase was purified using gradient precipitation and gel permeation chromatography (Sepharose CL-6B). To confirm the purity of enzyme, native Page gel and zymography was performed. The approximate molecular weight of purified xylanase was 110 kDa. The kinetic characteristics of purified xylanase showed optimal activity at 50°C with pH 5.0 within 10.0 minutes of reaction time. It was also observed that the purified enzyme showed stability with various metal ions, organic solvents and detergents. However, Hg+2, Co+2, Fe+3 and Sodium dodecyl sulfate have inhibitory effect on xylanase activity. The hydrolysis pattern of purified xylanase showed efficient xylan degrading pattern and produced xylose as an end-product. The relative amino acid composition showed greater amount of aspartic acid and N-terminal sequence of purified xylanase revealed that the enzyme have N-glycosylation properties that make the xylanase more stable and have high catalytic potential. In this study, biotechnological exploitation of xylanase showed remarkable production using agro-industrial wastes and its efficient pre-treatment that produced fermentable sugars. Hence, the results obtained from the current study showed that the purified and synthesized enzyme from Aspergillus niger KIBGE-IB36 have potential to be used in different industrial applications mainly in animal feed, paper and pulp industry and enzymatic pre-treatment of agro-industrial wastes.

جوشؔ ملیح آ بادی

جوشؔ ملیح آبادی
پاکستان ہی میں اردو کے مشہور شاعر جوش ملیح آبادی کی وفات ہوئی، انھوں نے اردو شاعری کی صنف نظم گوئی کو بڑی ترقی دی، غزل کے بجائے نظم گو کی حیثیت سے زیادہ مقبول ہوئے، ان کے مداح ان کے فن اور شاعرانہ مہارت کے بڑے قدردان رہے، مگر ان کے کچھ ناقد ایسے بھی ہیں، جو ان کی شاعری ہی میں خیالات کی بلندی اور پاکیزگی کے بجائے صرف گھن گرج اور چیخ و پکار زیادہ پاتے ہیں، دینی حلقوں میں تو اپنے ملحدانہ اور رندانہ طرز فکر کی وجہ سے اچھی نظر سے نہیں دیکھے جاتے، مگر جب کبھی اردو شاعری کی تاریخ لکھی جائے گی تو اس میں ان کے شاعرانہ فن کی وجہ سے ان کو نمایاں جگہ دی جائے گی۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، اپریل ۱۹۸۲ء)

Issues of Ethnic Diversity and Just Development in Pakistan with a Special Focus on the Seraiki Ethnic Group

Ethnicity implies the sense of belonging together as the cultural group in a given society. It is a complex combination of racial, cultural and historical characteristics by which people differentiate themselves from other groups. This research envisages the genesis and the evolution of ethnicity as a political concept, the problems of ethnicity in a heterogeneous, multicultural state and the phenomenon of ethno-nationalism in its historical and analytical perspective in the federation of Pakistan with special reference to the status of Seraiki ethnic group. In fact ethnic expressions exist in all multicultural states and distinct ethnic groups evaluate themselves through communal prism. The less privileged groups develop abhorrence against the over – privileged groups due to the persistence of socioeconomic injustices. Factors like the gap between core and periphery, asymmetrical modernization and authoritarian trends lead towards ethnic disruption. Same is the case with Pakistan, a multilingual, multiracial and multiethnic state with federating units reflecting various diversities. The analysis of ethno-nationalism in Pakistan highlights factors, like regional cultural identity, relative deprivation among regions, centralized state structure, denial of accepting regional language as national language, and the absence of democratic values as being the root causes of the Bengali separatism. The assimilationist policies of the government do not acknowledge the regional/ethnic aspirations. Denial of pluralistic approach has been thwarting the demand for provincial autonomy. The nature of ethnic consciousness in the Seraiki belt, analyzed in this article, is found to be nurtured by the perceived socio-economic injustice at intra-provincial level—between the regions of South Punjab and Central and Northern Punjab put together

Performance Analysis and Enhancement of Phased-Mimo Radar and Frequency Diverse Array Radar

Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar and frequency diverse array (FDA) radar have gained significant attention from researchers community due to their numerous advantages over the phased-array radars. The distinguishing features of MIMO radar and FDA radar are waveform diversity and frequency diversity, respectively, while their phased-array counterpart lacks any such diversity. The hybridization form of MIMO and phased-array radars, called phased-MIMO radar, has also attracted the researchers attention due to its capability of combining the benefits of both. In this dissertation, phased-MIMO radar with closely spaced antennas and FDA radar with small inter-antenna frequency offset have been studied. To analyse the performance of radar, ambiguity function has proved to be a useful foundation. We have formulated ambiguity functions of phased- MIMO and FDA radars and derived their important mathematical properties. We have shown that FDA radar can promise better range resolution as compared to that of phased-array radar. For FDA we have proposed two novel schemes of inter-antenna frequency offset. Firstly, it is the time-dependent frequency offset as compared to the constant offset in the existing FDA. With the proposed idea a range-dependent beampattern can be synthesized with the maximum constantly illuminating the given target location. This is in contrast to the time-modulated beampattern with constant frequency offset. Secondly, we have proposed non-uniform (logarithmically increasing) frequency offset as compared to the uniform offset in the existing FDA. The proposed frequency offset promises a beampattern with a maximum only at the given target location. On the contrary, beampattern of FDA with uniform frequency offset exhibits multiple maxima in the visible range. The proposed schemes can provide a strong foundation for the development of modern radars capable of scanning the space more intelligently. We have investigated the proposed schemes only for linear array but they can be extended to planar arrays to scan the space in three dimensions.
