The advancement in nano-technology imposed great impact on human life due to its vast variety of applications in various fields like medical and healthcare, sports industry, textile industry, agriculture industry, food industry, cloth industry, electronic devices and energy sector. This advancement is based on development of versatile nano-materials; those have attained gigantic reputation because of its superior properties and applications. By using smart and advanced nano-material, various types of nano-structures like nano-pores membrane/template, nanoparticles, nano-wires, nano-rods, nano-tube, nano-fibers can be synthesized by adopting echo friendly strategy. Among these nanostructures, anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template has vast applications in filtration and purification, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) deices and for use in a template in electronics devices. In this work, firstly we have studied simulation of mechanical behavior of AAO nano-porous template by performing finite element analysis using ANSYS. The results depicted that the porous template produced maximum deflection of 1.56µm at the middle when a pressure of 5kPais applied. Secondly, AAO templates were fabricated in two step anodization by using self-designed anodization setup. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was performed to investigate the pore size that is in the range of 60, 80 and 100 nm. After successful template/membrane fabrication the chemical bath deposition method were adopted to grow the zinc oxide (ZnO) nano rods on AAO template. These templates can be used to develop MEMS devices. The expedient way for development of micro-electromechanical systems has (MEMS) based devices are in two key steps. First, perform the simulation for optimization of various parameters by using different simulation tools that leads to cost reeducation. Secondly, development of devices with accurate fabrication steps using optimized parameters. Here, authors have performed piezo-electric analysis of array of zinc oxide (ZnO) nano structures that create on both sides of aluminum rods. Various quantities like swerve, stress, strain, electric flux, energy distribution and electric potential have been studied during the piezo analysis. Then actual control growth of ZnO nanorods (NRs) arrays were grown on both side of etched aluminium at low-temperature using chemical bath deposition (CBD) method for development of MEMS energy harvester. The testing was performed by applying ambient range force on nanostructure and found that the voltage range on topside is 0.59 to 0.62 mV and bottom side 0.52 to 0.55 mV. These kinds of devices are useful in low power control circuits.

مفتی اعظم فلسطین سید امین الحسینی

اسلامی مملکت کے بین الاقوامی تعلقات عصرحاضر کے تناظر میں

Islam where considers the superiority of law, provision of justice and equity, building and purification of civilization and emphasis on the welfare of society, there ensures the first priority to humanity, peace and prosperity in the external relations. Islamic state keeps relations on the basis of equality with the world and non-Muslim citizens living within the state. On this belief and ideology Islam invites the world to set together. Islam on these principles of Islamic ideology and belief sets the foundation of collectiveness. On this principle the whole philosophy of life and living system are embraced, and the same Islamic law is the foundation of nations, on this behalf the Islamic state organized the relation with other states. In this way Islamic state on these principles keep relations with other states and within the state relations between Muslim and non-Muslim citizens on the basis of brotherhoods, equality, mercy and the principles of dignity of human being. Along with peace Islam set the principles of war which comprise ethical and prison limitations, duties and ethics amongst warrior, difference between the rights of fighters and non-fighters, treatment with pact holders and prisoners, and specified the way of better treatment with the defeated nations. He thought the manners of war to bloody man who consider everything right during the war. Islam lays great stress on equality, social justice, brotherhood and peace not only in state but across the boarders too. In this article a deep study is done to explain the relations of an Islamic state with other states. Islamic foreign policy emphasizes on the principles of equality among all the human beings and all the races and nations. Islam builds international relation on humanitarian basis.

Molecular Mechanism of Methionine Differentiation in High and Low Methionine Maize Lines

Since maize is primary food stuff for humans and livestock, its amino acid balance is important for proper nutrition. Methionine, an essential amino acid and a primary source of sulfur, is lacking in maize endosperm. Several maize populations were developed through breeding with enhanced methionine content compared with normal maize populations. BS31HM (high methionine) and BS31LM (low methionine) maize were among such populations created by the selection from the highest or lowest methionine content population from original BS31 maize. Candidate gene approach was adopted to determine the difference between the two populations at of transcript level of the selected genes in the endosperm. The selected genes i.e. 15-kDa β-zein, 16-kDa γ-zein, 19-kDa α- zeinB1, 27-kDa γ-zein, 22-kDa α-zein and 18-kDa δ-zein were responsible for coding of endosperm storage proteins when analyzed through real time RT-PCR. Similarly, expression level relative to the high population (2-ΔΔct) values were also calculated for BS31HM and BS31LM respectively. The p-values were determined by student’s t-test at confidence level of 95%. The expression of 18-kDa δ-gene, 15-kDa β-gene and 16-kDa γ- gene were found to be significant (p<0.05) in high methionine maize population when compared with low methionine maize population. Non significant (p>0.05) differences in the expression level of 27-kDa γ-gene, 22-kDa α-gene and 19-kDa α-gene were observed in both (HM) and (LM) maize populations. From these results it can be concluded that all zein genes did not show expression equally in high methionine and low methionine maize populations. For selection of high and low methionine or other limiting amino acid levels in maize and feed samples auxotrophic strains could be a useful tool to identify the limiting amino acids. The bacterial assays for amino acid assessment are based on the nutritional requirements of the strain, relative concentration and availability of the amino acid in the liquid media, which shows a precise growth response to added amino acids. In the present study we tested triple auxotrophic E. coli strain with the objectives to identify whether this strain can be used to identify all the three limiting amino acids in maize samples. The triple auxotrophic strain was checked on M9 media for nutritional requirement to identify whether it is auxotrophic for methionine, lysine and tryptophan or only for one or two amino acids. The data indicated that triple strain was deficient for all the three amino acids. For further confirmation another experiment was conducted on different corn samples with different level of amino acids. Analysis of variance indicated that the probability of the observed variation due to chance was 0.0329 or less. The data revealed that growth of the triple auxotrophic strain was limited by lysine in most of the corn samples, but samples with extremely high lysine levels may cause growth to be limited by other amino acids. Further experiments should be conducted to optimize triple strain for identification of the all three limiting amino acids in maize.
