This thesis presents the application of computational intelligence techniques to signal processing of static, time-series and imagery bio-signal data. In the process two very important diseases were diagnosed. These diseases are breast cancer and cardiac arrhythmia. Out of the di erent detection techniques for breast cancer the ones that were used in this research are the Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) and the mammography. Thene needle aspiration (FNA) procedure consists of excising a small sample of suspected lesion from the breast using ane needle. The sample is studied under a microscope for the cell sizes and shapes. From the collective characteristics of these features the pathologist decides whether the cell is malignant(cancerous) or benign(noncancerous). Data for the FNA technique was obtained from the Diagnostic Wisconsin Breast Cancer (DWBC) database, an example of static data. The database contains many malignant and benign sample feature value and their results. To assist physicians in diagnosis, a computational intelligence detection approach was devised. In this method experiments were performed using the computational intelligence network of Cartesian Genetic Programming evolved Arti cial Neural Network (CGPANN). Feature values of the samples were normalized and a part of them used to train a CGPANN. The trained network was then tested with rest of the samples. Experiments conducted with the FNA dataset resulted in more than 99% accuracy. The second diagnostic method, the mammography, is also used widely for breast cancer screening. It consists of taking a high resolution x-ray image of the breast that is suspected of cancer. The two main abnormalities in a breast can be masses and microcalci cations. In order to assist radiologists in diagnosis a method was developed, that can classify a mass or microcalci cation appearing in a mammogram to be either benign or malignant. The data for this work was obtained from the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM), an example for imagery data. The method consists of calculating the Haralick''s statistical parameters of the suspected lesion. A CGPANN network was trained with large number of these parameters, extracted from mammograms found in the database. The trained network classi ed both masses and microcalci cations with accuracy=90.58%, sensitivity=85.32% and speci city=95.84%. In the case of cardiac arrhythmia the ECG signals were obtained from MIT-BIH database, an example of time-series data. For automatic detection of Cardiac Arrhythmia an algorithm was developed. This algorithm applies digital signal processing and logical operations to the time domain Electro-Cardiogram (ECG) signal and hence detects the ducial points of an ECG complex. From theducial points, the lengths and slopes of a number of segments; and amplitudes of peaks are determined. These parameter values are applied to CGPANN to classify the beats. To make the system capable of classifying unknown ECG it was trained with the parameters extracted from ECG signals available at MIT-BIH database. All these parameters bear important information about the di erent arrhythmia. Three di erent experimental setups were designed, each setup improving the performance of the previous one. In the third setup, with the inclusion of digital logic unit, seven arrhythmia types were detected, with four types having accuracy value of 94% and above. In all experiments, the CGPANN wasrst trained with parameters extracted from a part of sample ECG, together with their arrhythmia types; and then tested with another part of the data. This algorithm can be implemented in real time on beat to beat basis. A future enhancement to this system is to implement the algorithm in programmable hardware and subsequently used in systems like Implantable Cardioverter De brilators (ICD) that need correct detection of life threatening beats to apply an electrical impulse to the heart at the right moment.

احمد تیمور پاشا

مرحوم احمد تیمور پاشا
مصر کے ان جدید تعلیم یافتہ اصحاب میں، جنھوں نے گزشتہ ربع صدی میں عربی علم ادب اور اسلامی علوم و فنون کی بیش ازبیش خدمت انجام دی، ایک ہستی احمد تیمور پاشا کی ہے، افسوس ہے کہ انھوں نے گزشتہ ماہ اپریل میں وفات پائی، ان کی مفید تالیفات کے علاوہ وقیع علمی مقالات مصروشام کے ممتاز رسالوں میں شائع ہوتے رہتے تھے اور معارف نے بھی ان کے مضامین ایک سے زیادہ مرتبہ اپنے صفحات میں پیش کئے۔
احمد تیمور پاشا نومبر ۱۸۷۱؁ء میں مصر کے ایک متمول کرد خاندان میں پیدا ہوئے، یہ خاندان محمد علی پاشا کے عہد میں موصل سے مصر میں آکر آباد ہوا اور اس کے مورث اعلیٰ تیمور بن محمد بن اسمٰعیل بن کرد محمد علی پاشا کے دورِ حکومت مصر میں کے دست راست تھے۔
احمد تیمور پاشا ابھی چند ہی دن کے تھے کہ ان کے والد اسمٰعیل تیمور پاشا کا انتقال ہوگیا اور ان کی تربیت ان کی شاعرہ و ادیبہ بہن عائشہ نے کی، انھوں نے ان کو بچپن ہی میں ایک فرانسیسی مدرسہ ’’مارسیل‘‘ میں داخل کردیا، چند سال کی تعلیم و تربیت کے بعد جب انھیں عربی علم و ادب سے زیادہ شغف ہوا تو فرانسیسی مدرسہ سے نکل کر گھر ہی پر عربی علوم و آداب کی باقاعدہ تحصیل شروع کی اور اس عہد کے مشہور اساتذۂ مصر کے سامنے زانوے ادب تہ کیا، چنانچہ ان کے اساتذہ کی فہرست میں مصر کے ممتاز فاضل شیخ رضوان بن محمد مغلاتی، شیخ حسن طویل، شیخ محمد محمود ترکزی شنقیطی، شیخ محمد عبدہ اور علامہ طاہر جزائری وغیرہ ہیں، انھیں اساتذہ سے علوم عربیہ صرف و نحو، فقہ، منطق، حدیث اور علوم قرآن میں مہارت حاصل کی اور ان علوم کے ماسوا فرانسیسی زبان میں خاص دستگاہ پہلے حاصل ہوچکی...

الرهبانية المسيحية والتصوف الإسلامي و تاثيرهما على الجوانب المختلفة للحياة الإنسانية: دراسة تحليلية من منظور إسلامي

 Impact of Christian Monasticism and Islamic Mysticism on Various Aspects of Human Life: An Analysis from Islamic Perspective The science of Islamic belief "علم العقيدة" has been considered as most significant disciplines among different branches of knowledge as it played an essential, rather cardinal role in human life. This scholarly work intends to look into development of Monasticism in Christianity and Mysticism in Islam in different phases and its impact upon human life. Qualitative and descriptive research methodology has been applied for analysis of data. The research has particularly addressed four noteworthy aspects of the theme: firstly, Historical development of Monasticism in Christianity, secondly; Development of monastic tendencies in Islamic mysticism thirdly; Reflections of Monasticism upon various aspects of human life, and finally; Analysis of Monasticism in the light of Quran and Sunnah. The review of literature disclosed that monasticism is one of the main contributions of Christianity which later on influenced Islamic mysticism. Through centuries of contact it has left an immense influence upon Muslim societies which has changed the real picture of Islam. In the beginning, it was considered the source of self-purification but unfortunately lately it has developed into more mundane phenomenon. Recently it has been utilized as a source of income for spiritual masters and has produced complex mixture of superstitions for the community. Despite of that it has been argued that the real form of Mysticism could not be overlooked thus the Islamic mysticism has been divided into three categories by Muslim scholars: legislated (شرعي), heresy (بدعي), and infidelity (كفري). In this short paper the main focus will be on the impact of Christian monasticism on Islamic Sufism in general and that of Islamic Sufism on social life in particular.

Selected Vertebratepests and Their Control in Targetedareas of Dist Toba Tek Singh, Punjab Pakistan

Vertebrate pests e.g. rodents, rabbits, bats, birds, ungulates etc. cause major problem for humans, agriculture & environment. In this study, only mouse and rabbits were selected for the study of their biology and how they can be controlled to obviate the damage they cause to agriculture and its by-products. They are found freely on terrestrial ecosystem, mainly in food crops, warehouses, gardens, in homes etc. Mainly they live by digging holes or by making tunnels in the ground. They are smaller sized mammals but most active around the clock. They have sharp teeth, well adapted sense of smell and hearing. They have whiskers on their mouth that provide special sense to run away from threat place or to detect what is happening around. Mice are mainly nocturnal & their presence can be detected by several ways like tracks, burrows, gnawing activity, and faecal droppings. Rabbit presence can also be detected by faeces, tunnels, tracks etc. Mice are sporadic feeders. Their diet mainly consist of cereals, dry fruits, nuts, butter etc., while rabbits are opportunistic feeders, mainly herbivores found eating grasses, fruits, vegetables etc. As they are part of nature and are necessary to maintain balance in ecosystem, aesthetic value of nature, but they become most irritating when they rush to human localities and found causing damage there. They are very active and motile and sometimes it becomes difficult to observe their activities. By practising a single method to control them and avoid damage they are causing is mostly insufficient. To trap them, several different strategies are adopted so that they can be managed properly and amount of loss can be reduced. Mostly they infect humans by causing diseases to them directly or indirectly, moreover they spoil food, damage the crops, and destroy warehouses & the risk increases many times if they destroy the seeds that have to be sown in the next growing season. Several methods can be applied to control these pests that are practically very important against them. These methods include cage trapping, habitat modification, and control by using rodenticides, anticoagulants and other toxins. Biological control is most safe way to manage them, as no risk factors are involved in this strategy. Predators like hawks, fox, wild cats and dogs etc. are introduced in affected area for selected vertebrate pests (mouse and rabbit) to get rid of them effectively. Their predators easily locate and prey on these pests.
