Temporal variability of flows and sediments and bank erosion is fundamental to understand river dynamics. The temporal variability of sediment load and effective discharge class is one of essential information which is require to improve the barrage and canal operations for flow diversion into the canals. Similarly, bank erosion causes substantial land loss along the river banks due to erosion. Moreover, understanding for the impact of flood events on bank erosion are also lacking for sand bed braided river reaches. Similarly, quantitative relationship between branch channel movement and river bank erosion also have not attained significant attention. The river reach just starting from downstream of the Marala barrage to the 7 km downstream was selected to study the bank erosion. The reach is braided with small unstable sand bars and few semi-stable islands and river flows in multiple channels during low flows. The major proportion of the flows in the Chenab River occurs during monsoon season, which brings lot of sediments from the catchment. Thus, sediments in the river flows not only cause changes in the morphology of river but also diversion of highly sediment laden flows into the canals which creates sedimentation issues. Therefore, firstly, sediment rating curve, variation of sediment load and effective discharge for different temporal scales were examined. Secondly, the changes in the river were assessed and the relationships of river bank erosion with branch channels movement and floods magnitudes (during different flow regimes) were developed. Thirdly, two dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic numerical model was simulated for the flows/floods of 2010 and the results were coupled with the excess shear stress approach to predict the bank erosion and identify the river bank locations more vulnerable to erosion.

پھول کی پتی سے کٹ سکتا ہے ہیرے کا جگر

پھول کی پتی سے کٹ سکتا ہے ہیرے کا جگر
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو!آج مجھے جس موضوع پرتقر یر کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’پھول کی پتی سے کٹ سکتا ہے ہیرے کا جگر‘‘
صاحبِ صدر!
اس کائناتِ رنگ و بو میں جہاں تک نظر دوڑائیں مظاہر فطرت چشم ہائے بنی نوع انسان کو تر و تازہ کرتے ہوئے دکھائی دیتے ہیں، کائنات کی جملہ رنگینیاں اوربو قلمونیاں اپنی مظاہر فطرت کے وجود کی مرہون منت ہیں۔ ان کے حسن کو دستِ انسانی نے چار چاندلگا دیئے ہیں۔ اور ایسے ایسے کارہائے نمایاں سرانجام دیئے ہیں کہ عقل محو حیرت ہے اور ناممکن امور کو ممکن کر دکھایا ہے۔
شاعراپنے شعر کے اس مصرعے میں جہاں عقل و شعور کی اہمیت کو اجاگر کرنا چاہتا ہے وہاں محنت اور مشقت کی خو پیدا کرنے کا خواہاں بھی ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
تاریخ کی ورق گردانی کریں تو پتہ چلتا ہے کہ عظیم لوگ اگر عظمت کی معراج پر فائز ہوئے ہیں تو محنت سے آسمان کی بلندیوں کومس کیا ہے تو محنت سے، زمین کی گہرائیوں میں سراغ رسانی کی ہے تو محنت سے،سمندروں میں غواصی کر کے ہیرے جواہرات تلاش کیے ہیں تو محنت سے، پہاڑوں کو کاٹ کر شاہراہیں بنائی ہیں تو محنت سے، الغرض کائناتِ ارض وسماء میں جو شاہکار نظر آرہے ہیں، یہ سب محنت و مشقت کا شاخسانہ ہیں۔
معزز سامعین!
ناممکن کو ممکن بنایا جا سکتا ہے، عقل سلیم کے ذریعے قوت استدلال کو استعمال کر کے بڑے بڑے مسائل کا حل تلاش کیا جاسکتا ہے لیکن مردناداں کے لیے نرم زبان کا استعمال سعیٔ لا حاصل بھی ہے اور وقت کا ضیاع بھی!
محترم صدر!

عصر حاضر کے تناظر میں اسلامی فلاحی ریاست کے اصول و مبادی

In every age, the state has been a better form of the congregation and an integral part of societies. There has never been a state in human history that has introduced so many social reforms in a short period of time as Madina State did in a short period of time. That is why the state of Madina will remain a role model for all states established until the Day of Judgment. History testifies that as long as Islamic states followed this role model, their contemporary states continued to envy on their social, economic and military position. But unfortunately, the decline of the Muslim Ummah reached the peak by the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the representative state of the Muslims, in the early twentieth century. But before the half-century was over, the Islamic world began to gain independence from colonial powers. By the end of the twentieth century, more than fifty Muslim countries appeared on the geography of the modern world, but their flags were the spokesmen for colors, ethnicity, language, and region except for Pakistan. Political freedom from ideological and intellectual freedom could not be transformed by the Islamic nation’s imperialist powers Rather, the political leadership continued to work on the agenda of the West, causing many social and economic problems for the present Islamic States. The prevailing conditions of the present Islamic countries require that their rulers should re-establish their policies by making Madina state as their role model. The following article presents a golden outline of the welfare state, which will help to make the current Islamic state a welfare state.

Synthesis of Metal Based Derivatives of Sulfonamides and Their Biological Evaluation

The work presented in this thesis concerns the synthesis of various sulfonamide derived Schiff bases by the equimolar reaction of sulfonamides e.g., sulfamethazine, sulfadiazine, sulfathiazole, sulfanilamide, sulfamethaxazole, 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene sulfonamide, 4- (methyl)benzenesulfonamide, sulfisoxazole and sulfaguanidine with the respective aldehydes such as 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and 2- hydroxynaphthaldehyde. The free amino group (NH2) of the sulfonamide moiety condense with the carbonyl (HC=O) group of aldehydes to achieve the target of twenty- one new sulfonamide derived Schiff base (L1)–(L21) compounds. The structures of newly synthesized sulfonamides were elucidated by their physical, spectral (IR, 1H and 13 C NMR and mass) and analytical (CHN analysis) data. X-ray diffraction studies on nine sulfonamides were carried out to confirm the structures of 4-(5-chloro-2- hydroxybenzylideneamino)-N-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (L1), 4- [(E)-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]benzenesulfonamide (L4), 4-{2-[(5-chloro- 2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]ethyl}benzenesulfonamide (L6), 4-chloro-2-[(E)-({4-[N- (3,4-dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}iminio)methyl]phenolate (L8), 4-[(5- bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]-N-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfon amide-4-bromo-2-[(E)-({4-[(4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}iminio) methyl]phenolate (L10), 4-[(E)-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)methylideneamino]benzene sulfonamide (L13), 4-{[(E)-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]amino}-N-(5- methyl-1,2-oxazol-3-yl)benzenesulfonamide benzylidene)amino]ethyl}benzenesulfonamide (L14), 15 (L ) 4-{2-[(5-bromo-2-hydroxy and 4-bromo-2-((E)-{4-[(3,4- dimethylisoxazol-5-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyliminiomethyl)phenolate (L17). The synthesized sulfonamide derived Schiff base were used as ligands for complexation reaction with a number of metalloelements [Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)] using in a molar ratio of L : M as 2 : 1. The nature of bonding and structure of all the metal(II) complexes have been deduced by their physical (conductivity, magnetic measurements), spectral (IR, 1H and 13 C NMR and electronic) and analytical (CHN analysis) data. The result of these studies revealed an octahedral geometry for all the metal(II) complexes. Due to amorphous nature of the metal(II) complexes, their crystals could not be formed for X-ray diffraction studies. In order to evaluate the biological role of these compounds and the effect of metalloelements on the nature of their biological activity, all the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxic activities against four Gram–negative (Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi) and two Gram–positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) bacterial strains and against six fungal strains (Trichophyton longifusus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Microsporum canis, Fusarium solani and Candida glabrata) using agar-well diffusion method. The result of these studies revealed that majority of the compounds showed significant (~80%) to moderate (~50%) antibacterial/antifungal activity. The activity however, was enhanced upon chelation/coordination with the metalloelements: some compounds, which were non- active, became active and moderate active became significantly active. Amongst all the compounds, the zinc(II) complexes showed the highest activity. The brine shrimp (Artemia salina) bioassay was also carried out to study in vitro cytotoxic activity. These studies revealed that several compounds displayed potent cytotoxic activity as LD50 in the range of 4.898 x 10-4 to 6.745 x 10-4 M/mL.
