In structures or machine components, fatigue failure is very common. It is initiated by a small defect which leads it to a catastrophic failure. The material defects, inclusion, impurities and machine operation can always be vulnerable to crack initiation and hence fatigue cannot be avoided. In metallic structures, the thermal loads can also alter the material properties such as young’s modulus, tangent modulus, yield stress, and ultimate tensile strength, etc. Consequently, in the presence of increasing temperature, it can be inferred that the material might become soft near the vicinity of the crack tip, which can lead to increase the size of the plastic zone under the same mechanical loads. Therefore, it is very complicated to estimate the retardation or acceleration of fatigue crack propagation under thermo-mechanical loads. This research investigates the interdependencies of crack depth and crack location on the dynamic response of a non-prismatic cantilever beam under thermo-mechanical loads. Temperature can influence the stiffness of the structure, thus, the change in stiffness can lead to variation in frequency, damping and amplitude response. These variations are used as key parameters to quantify damage of Aluminum 2024 specimen under thermo-mechanical loads. Experiments are performed on non-prismatic cantilever beams at non-heating (room temperature) and elevated temperature, i.e., 50°C, 100°C, 150°C and 200°C. This study considers a non-prismatic cantilever beam having various initially seeded crack depth (0.5 mm to 2.5 mm) and crack of 0.5 mm with natural propagation under load located at various locations, i.e., 5%, 10% and 15% of the total length from fixed end, respectively. The analytical, numerical and experimental results for all configurations are found in good agreement. Using available experimental data, a novel tool is formulated for in-situ damage assessment in the metallic structures for the first time under thermo-mechanical loads. This tool can quantify and locate damage using the dynamic response and temperature including the diagnosis of subsurface cracking. It fits around 82% of available data for validation within 10% of prediction error against a small change in the response parameter. The obtained results demonstrate the possibility to diagnose the crack growth at any instant within the operational condition under thermo-mechanical loads.

تحفظ حقوقِ نسواں ایکٹ کا شرعی و قانونی نقطہ نظر سے تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Islam is a complete code of life and provides the rights to every class of the human beings. Women rights is a kind of such basic rights which were not bothered in the world but Islam provided it to this gender in its ancient age. So many enactments have been made in Pakistan at federal and provincial level. “Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act 2016” will be main study of this research article in which. This act was passed rapidly without any detailed discussion on it, so is the reason that it bears so may deficiencies in it. Implementation of this act will surely cause to create the internal problems in family life and will destroy the family system of the era. Some provisions of this act are repugnant to Islamic teachings as well as to ethical norms which make the husband helpless, notorious and such sinful and criminal person who has no right of honor and respect in the society and this will become a permanent document of dishonor which will affect his person as well as his whole family. These main points of this Act will be analyzed in sharia perspective in this research paper.

Assessment of Growth and Physiochemical Responses of Wheat to Chemo-Blended Silver and Iron Nanoparticles

Wheat is king of cereals and plays a central role in Pakistan’s food economy. Developing world has greater concern about food security because of population intensification. There is a dire need of new technologies and inventions for modern agriculture to reshape in productive fashion. Nanotechnology has greater potential for addressing current agricultural issues in resource and environmental friendly manner. Nanotechnology is the exploration of materials objects and systems through the structure and properties of matter at nano scale. Exploring the comprehensive research profile of nanoparticles may revolutionize entire industry in to climax. Silver and iron nano particles have potential to enhance growth and development by improving metabolic activities of plants. Organic chemicals like nicotinic acid, tryptophan and myo-inositol have stimulatory effects on plant growth and act as endogenous promoters. Inorganic chemicals like urea and KNO3have yield enhancing effects. Silver and Iron nanoparticles were synthesized in Crop Physiology Lab Department of Agronomy, PMAS-Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Size determination of nanoparticles was carried out through SEM and Zeta Particle Analyzer. In primary optimization series of experiments were carried out to find the best concentration of nanoparticles, organic and inorganic chemicals. From primary optimization 5 ppm Ag NPs, 10 ppm nicotinic acid, 25 ppm tryptophan, 25 ppm myo-inositol, 0.75 % urea, 0.75 % KNO3 and 5 ppm Fe-NPs were selected for blending purpose. In secondary optimization all the best performing treatments were blended by making possible combinations. Growth analysis was carried out for evaluation of effective nanoblended formulations for wheat growth. To check the response of chemo-blended nanoformulations morphological, physio-chemical, and yield analysis were performed. Proteomic analysis was carried out to investigate the insight change in proteome in response to chemo-blended NPs. Results revealed that Ag NPs and Fe NPs mixed with organic and inorganic chemicals increased wheat plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll spad reading, root length, shoot and root biomass. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were increased with application of chemo-blended NPs. Biochemical analysis such as total free amino acid contents, total soluble sugars, and total soluble proteins were significantly promoted with chemo-blended Ag and Fe NPs. Antioxidant enzyme activities such as SOD, CAT, and POD were increased in response to chemo-blended NPs. Yield attributes like no. grains per spike, weight of grains, and yield of wheat increased in response to Ag & Fe NPs mixed with organic and inorganic chemicals. In proteomic analysis proteins were extracted from treated plants and analyzed through nano LC-MS/MS. Differential analysis of MS data was carried out with PERSEUS software (version 1.6.0.7). The protein sequence of the differentially changed proteins was subjected to amigene ontology Go database. The gene functional annotations and protein categorization was assessed through MapMan bincode and protein abundance ratio was assessed through MapMan software. Pathway mapping of identified proteins was performed using KEGG databases. Amongst differentially changed proteins, proteins related to photosynthesis, protein synthesis, secondary metabolism and transport were increased while glycolysis, signaling and stress related proteins were decreased. KEGG pathway mapping of identified glycolysis related proteins revealed that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase increase/decrease while phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase was decreased. Enzyme activity as confirmation of proteomic analysis revealed that SOD, CAT, and POD increased in response to chemoblended NPs. Furthermore, maintenance of redox homeostasis through regulation of glycolysis and increased activities of antioxidant enzymes regulate energy metabolism. This maintenance of energy related activities may stimulate plant growth and development in response to chemo-blended NPs.
