The assurance of required quality properties is one of the major challenge in Self- Adaptive Systems (SAS). Self-adaptive systems have the capability to adapt their dynamic behavior autonomously at runtime due to uncertain changes in the environment. Research in this field is being held since mid-sixties, and over the last decade the importance of self-adaptivity is being increased. In general a self-adaptive system is much difficult to specify and verify, because of its highly complex internal behavior and especially when time constraints are involved. In the proposed research, Colored Petri Net (CPN) formal language will be used to model self-adaptive multi-agent system. CPN is increasingly used to model self-adaptive complex concurrent systems due to its flexible formal specification and formal verification behavior. CPN is visually more expressive than simple Petri Nets enables diverse modeling approaches and provides a richer framework for such a complex formalism. The specification and verification of internal structure of each self-adaptive agent is being expressed through modal μ-calculus (Mμ). We propose SMACS (Self-adaptive Multi-Agent Concurrent System) framework, that is specifically designed for complex architectures, those contain inter-connected components in a heterogenous way. All agents of SMACS are also known as intelligent agents due to their self-adaptation behavior. The internal structure of SMACS framework is based on MAPE-K feedback loop. Each phase of the feedback loop works as an internal agent known as; Monitor Int-Agent, Analyzer Int-Agent, Planer Int-Agent and Executer Int-Agent. The agents adapt and update their behavior through interaction with the environment by using the decentralized approach. The Liveness, Safeness and Deadlock-freedom properties of self-adaptive agents are being verified through the TAPA model checker. For implementation of SMACS framework, Traffic Monitoring System (TMS) and Smart Computer Lab (SCL) are chosen as case studies. CPN based state space analysis will also be done to verify the behavioral properties of the model. The general objective of the proposed system is to maximize the utility generated over some predetermined time horizon. This research will provide new direction for modeling and verification of concurrent system. The main idea behind this work is to achieve true concurrency of multiple interconnected self-adaptive agents with their dynamic behavior.

2۔ دیت تغلیظ

2۔ دیت تغلیظ
دیت کو زیادہ سخت بنانا ، اس میں زیادہ شدت اختیار کرنا ۔ قتل عمد کی دیت میں شدت اختیار کرنا ۔ امام مالک ؒ کےمطابق باپ کا اپنے بیٹے کے قتل کی صورت میں دیت مغلظ ہو گی یعنی اونٹوں کی صور ت میں دیت یہ ہو گی ۔ تیس حقہ ، تیس جذعہ ، چالیس خلفہ ۔ سونے اور چاندی کی صورت میں ان اونٹوں کی قیمت میں اور عام دیت میں جو اونٹوں کی قیمت کا فرق ہے دیت مغلظہ میں شامل ہو گا ، مثلاً اگر دیت خفیفہ کے اونٹوں کی قیمت چھ سو درہم ہے اور دیت مغلظہ کے اونٹوں کی قیمت آٹھ سو درہم ہے تو یہ زائد دو سو درہم سونے یا چاندی کی صورت میں ادا کی جانے والی دیت میں شامل ہوں گے ۔ 167
امام احمدؒ کے نزدیک دیت میں تغلیظ کے تین اسباب ہیں : حرم میں قتل ، اشہر حرام میں قتل اور محرم کا قتل ۔ ان کے نزدیک تغلیظ کا طریقہ یہ ہے کہ ان ہر تین اسباب میں سے ہر سبب کی موجودگی میں ایک تہائی دیت زائد ہو گی اور اگر تینوں اسباب جمع ہو جائیں تو دو دیتیں لازم ہوں گی۔ "168
3۔ وہ زخم جہاں مکمل مماثلت کے ساتھ قصاص ممکن نہ ہو صرف دیت دی جائے گی۔ انہیں ارش بھی کہتے ہیں۔ اس کی مندرجہ ذیل تین اقسام ہیں :الف) شجہ ، ب)جائفہ اور ج)غیر جائفہ۔

لأزمة الأخلاقية في المجتمع الباكستاني المظاهر- العوامل- المعالجة

Moral values are seen as the basis of human civilization. Absence of moral values and responsibilities results in the justification of every evil in the society, as it is the case being observed in the present-day societies in many parts of the world. A nation, whose collective morals are high, is capable to lead other nations, irrespective of caste, creed and religious affiliations. If a nation, Muslim or non-Muslim, ignores the high moral values, it cannot avoid its decadence and destruction. Due to this utmost importance of morality for humanity, Islām regards morality as one of the integral parts of the Divine Revelation. Islām aims to create a sense of moral responsibility in its adherents, so that, they may show a complete picture of an ideal society, and enjoy their freedom to carry out the best possible moral deeds. The author of this paper, chose to study the present moral crisis in the Pakistani society and tried to determine the causes, which has brought about this moral crisis and also presents its cure in the light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah. The study focuses on the following aspects: Definitions of moral values & society, Prevalent social evils in our society, Causes of crimes and social evils, Remedies to root out unethical practices and evils from the society, Conclusion and recommendations.

Wasterwater Treatment Using Bioprocessesand Nanofiltration

The water pollution is one of the environmental problems due to the bioaccumulation tendency of toxic materials. The purpose of present study was to treat wastewater through bioprocesses, in combination with nanofiltration (NF) as a post treatment process to remove heavy metals (Cu(II) & Pb(II)), and reactive dyes (Drimarine Yellow HF-3GL & Drimarine Black CL-B) from aqueous solutions. The bioprocesses were conducted in batch and column mode. The biosorption characteristics of immobilized heat inactivated hybrid biosorbent (HI HB) and Active hybrid biosorbent (Active HB) for metal ions and dyes removal were assessed as function of biomass dosage, contact time, pH, initial dye/metal ion concentration and temperature. Maximum uptake of Cu(II), Pb(II), Drimarine Black CL-B & Drimarine Yellow HF-3GL was 213.53, 365.90, 14.57 and 7.82 mg/g at pH 5, 4.5, 3 & 3, respectively, by immobilized HI HB. The biosorption capacity did not increase with increase in biomass dosage. Langmuir isotherm described well the biosorption process. The kinetic data fitted well to pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Thermodynamic study illustrate that process was feasible at low temperature. Removal of Cu(II), Pb(II), Drimarine Yellow HF-3GL & Drimarine Black CL-B with immobilized Active HB was also explored as a function of pH, biomass dosage, initial dye/metal ion concentration, contact time and temperature. The results demonstrated that all studied parameters influenced the process. Increase in initial dye/metal ions concentration and bed height was found to be favorable conditions for maximum dye/metal ions removal in column mode study. Characterization of biosorbent was carried out by FTIR, SEM, TEM, XRD and TGA analysis. FTIR analysis of biomass showed participation of –OH, and –COOH as major functional groups involved in sequestering of metal ions and dyes from aqueous solution. Furthermore, NF increased the % removal of studied metal ions and dyes. The study provides understanding on treating wastewater through adsorption in combination with NF for Cu(II), Pb(II), Drimarine Yellow HF-3GL & Drimarine Black CL-B removal.
