The modern times are witnessing an unparallel impact of the advancement in the field of information technology on the overall medical care. However, there is still strong around the globe desire to further raise the healthcare standards. Consequently, the research community is pushed to strive for efficient and inexpensive means of automating the healthcare processes. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags capable of integrating sensing, data storage and communication functionalities in one unit are pivotal for such automation. The present thesis, a small step towards digitalizing the healthcare, explores the utilization of RFID tags for improving the direct (patient) and indirect (non-patient) care processes. Wireless body-centric communication systems, providing a wireless and maintenancefree link between the human body and the surrounding, are the linchpin of the modernday personalized healthcare applications. Antennas are as pertinent to this direct care system as the eyes and ears are to the human body. The core of the research thesis is the design of efficient body-centric RFID tag antennas to boost the wireless healthcare applications. The antennas operate in the microwave band (2.4–2.48 GHz) that is in line with the high data rate requirements of the healthcare processes. In the course of the research work, a wearable antenna for off-body communication and an implantable antenna for in-body communication are designed and tested. The concerned body organ in both the cases is the human arm. The dielectric behavior of the human arm is integrated into simulations through a three-layered numerical phantom, whereas practical measurements utilize a non-homogeneous tissue-mimicking gel phantom. The proposed tag antennas fulfill the required attributes such as low-cost, low profile, miniature and biocompatible, along with countering the dielectric challenges of the human body. The wearable antenna needs to be immune to the on-body impedance detuning and radiation efficiency degradation. On the other hand, implanted antenna should have sufficient gain to establish the in-body wireless communication link. These challenges are the primary focus, as well as the contribution of the thesis. The thesis also highlights the design of inexpensive chipless RFID tags that finds scope in monitoring and management of low-cost medical inventory items (indirect care). The vi i tags encode data into the frequency domain using multi-resonant structures. A broad frequency spectrum is utilized to achieve high data capacity. The integrated broadband transmitting and receiving antennas enhances the read range of the tag. The proposed chipless tag is a useful contribution to facilitate the vision of broad scale deployment of RFID in healthcare systems.

مولانا سید فخرالدین احمد
اس حادثہ کے چند روز بعدہی مولانا سید فخرالدین احمدصاحب کاحادثہ وفات پیش آیا۔ حضرت شیخ الہند ؒ کافیضِ درس وتربیت ایک ابرکرم تھا جوعرب و عجم کے ہر خطے بربرسا اور ہرشخص نے بقدر حوصلہ واستعداد اس سے استفادہ کیا لیکن مولانا حضرت شیخ کے ان چند تلامذہ وتربیت یافتہ حضرات میں سے تھے جو علم وعمل، ورع وتقوی اور فکرونظر کے اعتبارسے اپنے استاد وشیخ کے قالب میں ڈھل گئے تھے۔ چنانچہ ایک طرف ان کی حسین شخصیت درس حدیث کے مسند کی زینت تھی تو دوسری جانب زہد وورع اورعبادت و ریاضت کے سجادہ کی رونق۔ وہ ایک طرف بلند پایہ اوروسیع النظر عالم محدث وفقیہ تھے تواس کے ساتھ ہی جنگ آزادی اور میدان استخلاص وطن کے بہادر سپاہی اورمجاہد بھی تھے۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ مشغلہ درس وتدریس کے باوجود جمعیۃ العلماء سے اس کے ایک فعال ممبر کی حیثیت سے ہمیشہ وابستہ رہے۔ عمرکااکثروبیشتر حصہ مدرسہ شاہی مراد آباد کی خدمت میں صرف ہوا۔شیخ الاسلام مولانا حسین احمدمدنی کی وفات حسرت آیات کے بعد دارالعلوم دیوبند کے شیخ الحدیث بھی مقرر ہوئے اورجمعیت علمائے ہند کے صدر بھی اور آخراسی پردنیا سے رخصت ہوگئے۔ عمرکم وبیش پچاسی برس کی پائی۔ادھر چندسال سے چند در چند عوارض واسقام کے باعث بہت کمزور اورچلنے پھرنے سے معذور سے ہوگئے تھے۔ لیکن اس کے باوجود، اس کوان کی روحانی طاقت یاقوت ارادی کے علاوہ اورکیا کہیے کہ جب وہ درس بخاری کے لیے بیٹھتے تھے توگھنٹوں ایک ہی نشست سے بیٹھے رہتے تھے ۔ درس اور اسی سلسلہ میں طلباکے سوالات کے جوابات پوری حاضر حواسی سے دیتے تھے اور تقریر کے وقت آواز میں بھی ضعیفی وپیری کاکوئی اثرمحسوس نہیں ہوتا تھا۔طبعاً کم گو تھے، مگر جب ضرورت ہوتی تھی تو تقریر بہت واضح اورمدلل کرتے تھے۔خود بزرگ اور...

تأثير الفقر على حياة الشاعر الجاهلي: دراسة تحليلية

There is no doubt that poverty is one of the major phenomenon which destroys the entity of the human society and it is also one of the obstacles that prevents the ability and talent of humans to create and innovate in a suitable environment, it also causes the ignorance, mental and social tension, and it also desists human being to strengthen his family ties and make well settled position in the society, it affects adversely the life and mind of humans and forced him to commit crimes and violations in the society. We see that this phenomenon has affected the life of pre-Islamic poet and compelled him on raiding and robbery, so in this article we have tried to highlight the impact of poverty on the life of pre-Islamic poet.

Controlled Synthesis and Potential Applications of Eco-Friendly Polyurethane and Magnetic Nanomaterials

To broaden applications, increase environmental friendliness, reduce cost, and sustainability, water is a tempting choice as a solvent for waterborne polyurethane (WPU). WPU is a revolutionary step in the reduction of volatile organic contents in the field of green polymer chemistry. In the first part of the dissertation, eco-friendly emulsifier-free biodegradable WPU elastomers were synthesized via a two-step prepolymer process by using renewable ionomer lysine and aliphatic diamines as a chain extender (CE). Different series of WPU were synthesized by changing molecular weight (Mw) of soft segment (SS), NCO/OH ratio, length of CE, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) concentration. The focus of this research was to study the dependence of mechanical properties, thermal, surface, structural, and the drug delivery applications of WPU on length of CE, size of the hard segment (HS), NCO/OH ratio (3-4), molecular weight (Mw) of polyethylene glycol (PEG, Mw varies from 650 to 2000 g/mol), and concentration of MMA (10%-40%). Biodegradable WPUs were employed as the stimuli-responsive drug release matrix, loaded by cisplatin as a model anticancer drug. Sustained-drug release was studied by changing pH (4.4-7.4), polarity of drug release medium (solvents), temperature, concentration of MMA, Mw of PEG, length of CE and NCO/OH contents (3-4). So, drug release rate was adjusted under different conditions with the help of stimuli-responsive drug release WPU matrix. Semiconductor nanocrystals are potential resources for clean energy conversion and storage. In the 2nd part of this dissertation, the author focuses on the controlled synthesis of different magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) and robust photocatalytic systems, microwave absorber, and construction of anode material for a lithium-ion battery. Several scientific research achievements attained are as follows: (1) Eco-friendly, biocompatible, water dispersible, impurity-free, single-phase, citric acid surface capped, ultrafine-superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (USM NPs) were prepared. USM NPs were synthesized by modifying wet chemical facile co-precipitation green itinerary. Size of USM NPs was tuned from 11-15 nm by controlling pH of reaction media. Citric acid, polyaniline, trimethoxy silyl propyl methacrylate, polyacrylamide, and polyamine surface-modified USM NPs ferrofluid was formed for different applications. Novel self-assembled morphologies of magnetite (Fe3O4) were controlled by using a facile, template-free hydrothermal pathway under optimized conditions engaging different precursors with the best control of morphology and electrochemical properties. A detailed study of the thermal, Controlled Synthesɨs and Potentɨal Applɨcations of Eco-friendly Polyurethane & Magnetɨc Nanomaterials xiv magnetic, dielectric, optical, and biological properties of USM NPs were conducted. Excellent reflection loss values confirmed that these USM NPs are promising microwave absorber which is very useful in satellite communications and EMR pollution control. USM NPs were further investigated for potential photocatalytic applications in dye degradation under visible light with detailed mechanism. (2) In the electric energy storage technology, lithium-ion battery (LIB) is a revolutionary step for making a green environment. The anodic material for LIB was made by using graphene-magnetite-polyaniline nanocomposite (Gr-Fe3O4-PANI NC) as a high-performance electrode. Gr-Fe3O4-PANI NC based LIB has shown superior reversible current capacity of 960 mAh g−1 and high cycling stability along with more than 99% coulombic efficiency even at a high current density of 5 Ag−1, low volume expansion, and excellent power capabilities over 250 cycles. (3) For the photocatalytic water oxidation application, morphologically-controlled pseudobrookite Fe2TiO5-TiO2 yolk-shell hollow spheres were synthesized by using facile sacrificial hard template strategy. The Fe2TiO5-TiO2 yolk-shell hollow spheres have exhibited high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) rate of 148 μmolg−1h−1 under UV-Vis light. So, designed Fe2TiO5-TiO2 yolk-shell hollow spheres are beneficial for the photocatalytic water oxidation. (4) Ultrapure hexagonal BaFe12O19 nanoferrite was prepared by a facile coprecipitation route. Crystallite size was found to grow from 50 nm to 78 nm when the annealing temperature increased from 800 °C to 1000 °C, respectively. The EMR absorption was obtained at a frequency of 2-18 GHz from VNA which showed maximum absorption of -26.52 dB at a frequency of 5.79 GHz
