The present project was planned to study the reproductive biology and induced spawning of Channa marulius in captivity. Planned study completed in three trials. In the 1st trial fingerlings were kept in (90’x70’x4’) replicate ponds. There were two treatments and a control pond. Treatment 1 had 40% protein and Treatment 2 had 50% protein while control had the lowest level of 30% protein. The results showed that the maximum dietary protein levels in the feed and occasional sorting of Channa marulius fry had a positive impact on growth, survival with reduction in cannibalism in the earthen ponds. The maturation cycle and reproductive biology studied by sacrificing replicate sample of fishes in each month. Like earlier trial feeds with different protein levels were offered to fish. Diet with the highest protein again showed superiority in growth and development of gonads in both male and female Channa marulius. Adult Channa marulius average size (948.02±4.74g) collected from brood stock earthen ponds. The fish fed regularly 40% protein diet at 5% of their body weight for the period of 365 days. Close to the breeding season males attained 1100-1340 g weight while females attained 1150 to 1350g. Mature males and females identified based on their external morphology. In the breeding of Channa marulius, different doses of Ovaprim (Syndel International Inc., Canada) hormones i.e. 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.4 ml/kg body weight injected to Channa marulius, and in the second dose 0.2 and 0.7 ml/kg were inject to male and female respectively. Channa marulius failed to spawn with the sole injection of Ovaprim. However, when ovaprim combined with fresh pituitary gland and /or other hormone analogues, fish spawned successfully. In another experiment, the effect of different dietary protein levels on the spawning success of Channa marulius evaluated. Broodstok fish fed on diet containing 40%CP, 35%CP and 30%CP levels collected from respective earthen pond, acclintized in hatchery tanks and injected with ovaprim. This breeding experiment revealed that 40% protein containing diet not only improved brood stock health, enhanced growth, advanced maturation (gonad development) but also increased fish fecundity. Different synthetic hormones administered with different combination and doses. Broodstock fish selected for induced spawning from 40%CP containing feed treatment. HCG, HMG and Ovaprim were injected in the following combinations; HCG+Ovaprim (0.3+0.5ml/kg body weight), HCG+HMG (0.3+0.5ml/kg body weight), and Ovaprim +HMG (0.3+0.5ml/kg body weight). The findings of this experiment this experiment depicted that a combination of human chorionic gonadotropin + human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and Ovaprim+ HCG are effective and reliable synthetic hormones for the induction of ovulation in Channa marulius and can be helpful in spawning and stock replenishment programs.

عشق آمادہ ہیں گل دیکھ کے صورت اس کی

عشق آمادہ ہیں گل دیکھ کے صورت اس کی
جی جلاتی ہے گھڑی بھر میں محبت اس کی

اس ستم گر کی نگاہوں کا سحر، اُف توبہ
جان دی جس نے، کہو خوب ہے قسمت اس کی

صبح کا نور ہو یا پھر ہو شفق کی سرخی
نور و نکہت سے بیاں کیسے ہو رنگت اس کی

وصل اور ہجر محبت کے پیمبر ہیں مگر
شب کی آغوش سے ملتی ہے طبیعت اس کی

اس کی آواز لپکتا ہوا شعلہ ہے فضاؔ
مجھ کو آواز بھی لگتی ہے قیامت اس کی

Educational Philosophy Imam Al-Ghazali’s Perspective

Islam is a divine religion. It is based on divine revelation (Holy Quran) and sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. As a religion it is a complete code of life. It does not deal with worships only but addresses all fields of life. Like Beliefs and worship, Islam focuses on education also. As a last and chosen religion, it motivates human beings to seek knowledge. The first word of the first revelation (Chapter Al-alaq) starts with Iqra means Read. In first five ayat of chapter Al-alaq, the basic requirement for enhance of education (Read, knowledge and pen) have been mentioned six times. Similarly, the Holy Prophet r took many steps for imparting education. In this connection, the example of first residential university (Suffa’h) is sufficient. Imam Ghazali one of the most famous Muslim thinkers discusses the education in his books in detail. He was born in 448 AH (1057 CE) at Tabaran a town in the district of Tus, which lies within the Khorasan Province of Iran and died on 18 December (1111 CE). In this article knowledge, its classification, stages, curriculum, art of teaching, responsibility of both teachers as well as students have been discussed in the light of Imam Ghazali educational philosophy.

Organic Dye Based Opto-Electronic Devices and Sensors

Organic semiconductors have been the subject of intense scientific investigation for the past 50 years. Applications of these materials include chemical, physical and biological sensors, electronic, and photonic devices. Low cost production of these devices is possible by using thermal evaporation, centrifugation, spin coating and drop casting technologies. This thesis describes fabrication and characterization of organic semiconductor sensors for temperature, humidity and light measurements using novel organic materials. Different types of commercially available organic dyes have been used as active materials to fabricate sensors. In the first part of the thesis, humidity sensors have been fabricated using CuPc/NiPc thin films deposited by drop casting and centrifugation. Another type of humidity sensor based on VOPcPhO, Alq3 and their composites have also been fabricated by spin coating technique, wherein organic films have been grown over a substrate having pre-fabricated aluminum electrodes. Optimum ratio of VOPcPhO and Alq3 has been identified to achieve best capacitive and resistive response of the sensor. In the second part, optical sensors from composite films of NiPc:CoPc (1:1) have been fabricated by drop casting and centrifugation on a ceramic alumina substrate having surface-type interdigitated Ag electrodes. Variation in impedance and capacitance w.r.t. illumination have been measured. Another type of optical sensors based on organic photodiodes (OPDs), using composite ZnPc:PC71BM dye, have been fabricated and characterized. The optimum ratio of ZnPc:PC71BM (1:0.8) has been determined by detecting photocurrent density with respect to varied illumination levels of impinging light at different reverse biased conditions of the optical sensors. Moreover, the light to dark current density ratio (Jph/Jd) of the devices has been evaluated along with the transient photo-current density response to assess their sensitivity. In the third part, organic field effect transistors (OFETs) functioning as temperature/humidity senors (referred to as multi-functional sensors) have been fabricated xi using orange dye (OD) and its composite OD:sugar at positive (+1 g) and negative (-1 g) gravities by drop casting. It has been observed that in drop casting method, properties of OFET sensors are dependent upon gravity as well as solution composition employed for OFETs channel definition. Additionally, OFETs have been fabricated by depositing NiPc of varying thickness (100-300 nm) and semi-transparent thin films of aluminum in sequence by vacuum evaporation on a glass substrate having silver source and drain electrodes. It has been observed that the drain current of OFETs increases with increase in radiation intensity, and the OFETs having 200 nm thick NiPc film, exhibited better performance compared to 100 nm and 300 nm thick films. For temperature evaluation, it has been noticed that the reduction in the impedance is higher when thickness of the film is decreased. It has also been demonstrated that for improved performance, as a temperature sensor, the OFET channel film should be ∼100 nm.
