Wireless and mobile networking is considered as the most appreciated technologi- cal innovation that has stormed into the life-styles of the people and has found applica- tions in business, education, health, social networking and all other major areas of day-to- day work. Inspired by the enormous potential of mobile computing, wireless communica- tion and mobile networking technologies have emerged as major research disciplines within the domain of communication systems. Most of the communication based applica- tions have been developed and executed on robust wired communication networks and when they are ported to mobile devices, face serious challenges in meeting quality of ser- vice (QoS) requirements over the mutable wireless media. The QoS enabling for mobile networks has, therefore remained a major research area in this discipline. The presence of multiple communication interfaces in modern multi-mode mobile devices has enabled a new dimension for improving QoS solution during mobility but the heterogeneity of these networks pose serious challenges for delay bounded QoS aware applications. In this the- sis, capacity aggregation (CAG) of multiple available wireless links has been investigated to quantify its suitability in providing QoS during mobility. There are numerous challenges faced by the designers and developers in synchro- nizing flows, transported over multi-path. One such issue is the out-of-sequence (OOS) reception of packet at the receiver due to transport of these packets on multiple heteroge- neous paths. The larger extent of OOS receptions; generally cause serious performance degradation in delay bounded real-time applications, and is also a source of expensive buffer management for in-order delivery of packets to their respective destinations. The problem gets adverse during mobility, as the end-to-end path repeatedly changes during mobility and accompanies with changes in characteristics of E2E path that enhances probability of OOS reception. Therefore, maximization of QoS through minimization of OOS reception in a CAG environment is the main problem investigated in this thesis. The problem has been persuaded with novel multi-server scheduling schemes that minimize the OOS reception at the receiver. The proposed multi-server scheduling schemes provide a general service model that accommodates multiple types of traffic flows belonging to different classes-of-service. This approach is in contrast to the QoS maximization of a single flow at upper layers of TCP/IP protocol stack. The approach of multi-server scheduling to minimize OOS reception has been in- vestigated with the help of novel deterministic and stochastic analytical models to provide quantified solution of the above given problem. The fundamental mathematical structure of novel deterministic and stochastic models has been elaborated to enumerate multi-path transport dynamics of a mobile flow. These models provide appropriate formulae for the dimensioning questions of the QoS during mobility. Hence, the analysis of the multi-path transport of mobile flows remains as the main focus of this research work and constitutes core of this dissertation. Since the deterministic and stochastic framework for the analysis of E2E multi-path dynamic are not fully developed, my research focused on efficient es- timations of E2E delay variations and its impact on OOS reception of packets. The tight deterministic and stochastic performance bounds have been derived through proposed models. The main application of these models has been exercised in development of suit- able scheduling strategies that minimize E2E delay variation and OOS reception in CAG during mobility. The results of proposed models have been validated through simulations ‐v‐ as well. The results have shown robust performance of proposed scheduling schemes in achieving acceptable QoS levels for real-time flows during mobility, with minimized OOS reception and reduced buffer occupancy.

بجلی کے بحران پہ کیسے قابو پایا جا سکتا ہے

بجلی کے بحران پر قابو کیسے پایا جاسکتا ہے
نہ چھوڑیں واپڈا والے اگر بجلی تو کیا غم ہے
’’یدِ بیضا لیے بیٹھے ہیں اپنی آستینوں میں‘‘
انسان گھر میں موجود ہے۔ گھر کا سارا نظام اس کی سر پرستی میں بحسن وخوبی رواں دواں ہے۔ دریں اثناء گھر کے آنگن میں خفتہ شیر خوار بچہ آواز کے ساتھ رورہا ہے اور اس کے رونے کی وجہ کوئی بیماری نہیں، کوئی اور خار جی عمل نہیں صرف اور صرف لوڈ شیڈنگ کے سبب شدت حرارت ہے جس نے معصوم کی نیند حرام کر دی ہے، اس کی اس بے چینی نے والدین کے قویٰ کومضمحل کر دیا ہے اور پورے گھر میں ایک بحران کی سی کیفیت ہوگئی ہے۔ اور اس قسم کے بحران صرف کسی خاص علاقے میں نہیں ہیں بلکہ ملک کی کثیر آبادی اس سے متاثر ہے۔
برقی رو کی کمی یا قلت سے ہر ایک متاثر ہوتا ہے۔ لائبریری میں کوئی پرسکون فضاء میں محو مطالعہ کتب ہو، یا ظرف ہائے طعام اُٹھائے موجود غلام گردش ہو، کوئی کوچہ بازار میں موجود ہو، یا کوئی گھر کی بالکونی میں قیام پذیر ہو، کوئی صنعتکاری کے میدان سے مربوط ہو، یا کوئی زراعت و کاشتکاری کے میدان سے وابستہ سب کے سب بجلی سے نبردآزما ہیں۔
اس بحران پر قابو پانے کے لیے اقلیم عقل و خرد کی فرمانروائی کے ساتھ نصرت الٰہی کا طلبگار ہونا ہو گا۔ اس مہیب سائے کواجالے میں بدلنے کے لیے ابتدائی طور پر کاشانۂ خویش کو سامنے رکھنا ہو گا۔ اصراف وتبذیر جیسی خصائل قبیحہ سے کنار کشی اختیار کرنی ہوگی ،کفایت شعاری جیسی خصلت صالحہ کو اوڑھنا بچھونا ہوگا۔ اگر ایک شخص فضول خرچی جیسی لعنت سے چھٹکارا حاصل نہ کرے اور دن رات اسی عادت سے وابستہ رہے تووہ بھی اپنے مقصد میں کامیاب نہیں ہو...

The Influence of Theory of Planned Behavior and Technology Acceptance Models on Behavioral Intentions in Online Grocery Shopping in Pekanbaru City

This study was carried out to investigate the impact of integrating two theories on consumer behavior, namely the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Models (TAM), on the consumer behavior intention in online food shopping in the city of Pekanbaru. A descriptive quantitative method was employed in this research, utilizing purposive sampling techniques. The study involved 174 female respondents aged 18 and above, residing in the city of Pekanbaru, who had previously engaged in online food shopping. The analysis of data was performed utilizing the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The results indicated that both the perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use have a notable impact on attitude (ATT). Furthermore, behavioral intention was significantly influenced by attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC). The originality of this study resides in combining the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Models (TAM) within the specific context of online food shopping in the city of Pekanbaru. This study is expected to contribute to the field of consumer behavior, especially the behavior of consumers in Pekanbaru regarding online food shopping.

Comparativegrowthperformanceand Morphologicalvariationsanalysisbetween Two Populationsof Cirrhinus Mrigala from Chenab and Indus Rivers

In Pakistan there exist huge potential for development of aquaculture particularly inland fisheries sector but due to couple of reasons this field could not flourished in Pakistan. Cirrhinus mrigala is extensively cultured major carp among other major carps but there is no documentation concerning the analyses of Cirrhinus mrigala from Chenab River and Indus River for stock identification and conservation purposes. Length-weight and length-length relationships, condition factor, stock structure and morphological heterogeneity of Cirrhinus mrigala from Chenab River and Indus River were studied using traditional morphometric techniques; landmark (Truss) based geometric morphometric analysis and meristic analysis. A total of 248 samples were collected, 124 samples from each river. The higher value of regression coefficient ?b? from Indus river (b = 3.130) than regression coefficient ?b? value form Chenab River (b = 2.9875) indicated that Cirrhinus mrigala in Indus River shows comparatively better growth as compared to Chenab River. Length-weight relationships of Cirrhinus mrigala are suggestive that the wild conditions in Indus River at Taunsa Barrage are much suitable for rearing and stocking purposes instead in Chenab River at Head Muhammad Wala. Fulton?s condition factor (K) for Cirrhinus mrigala in Chenab River has shown a decreasing (negative) trend, while for the Indus River it showed an increasing (positive) trend. The higher evaluated level of Fulton?s condition factor for the population of Cirrhinus mrigala in the Indus River than the Chenab River population symbolizes the superior ecological conditions, foraging conditions, health and hygienic conditions in the Indus River at Taunsa Barrage. Discriminant function analysis on 21 landmark based geometric variables and 11 traditional morphometric variables disclosed that phenotypical variations are predominantly exist as Intra-population variations rather than inter-population variations. Final classification results in Discriminant function analysis, accounts that 67.7% of original grouped cases were correctly classified and 56.5% of cross-validated grouped cases were correctly classified. The equal discriminatory power of the discriminant function I (DFI) centred on discriminant function analysis for the both populations of Cirrhinus mrigala at Chenab River and the Indus River and non-significant (H) value of Kruskal-Wallis test patently represents the absence of statistically significant meristic variations between the two populations. Discriminant functional analysis and meristic analysis are of suggestive that there exists much merger and gene flow between two populations owing to weak geographical isolation between two rivers.
