This research work addresses a major denoising problem in Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful and e ective di- agnostic tool in basic research, clinical investigation, and disease diagnosis since it provides both chemical and physiological information about the tissue. MR Images are a ected by Rician noise during acquisition phase which decreases the image quality, image analysis and becomes di cult to diagnose it accurately. This thesis is an attempt to suppress low and high categories of Rician noise from MR data in such a manner to enhance the diagnostically relevant image content. Supervised and unsupervisedltering techniques are applied to suppress the Rician noise hence improving its quality for diagnostic process. A new supervisedltering model, based on genetic programming (GP), is proposed that evolves an optimal composite mor- phological supervisedlter (FOCMSF ) by combining the gray-scale mathematical morphological operators. (FOCMSF ) is evolved through evaluating thetness of sev- eral individuals over certain number of generations. The proposed method does not need any prior information about the noise variance. In the domain of unsupervisedltering, three techniques are proposed. These are collaborative techniques based on statistical and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy similarity based non local meanslter (FSNLM) is designed to non-locally search out similar and non-similar regions of a noisy pixel. Fuzzy weights are assigned to these regions on the base of similarity. Then the noisy pixel is replaced with the fuzzy weighted average of these regions. Another hybridlter is proposed that combines FSNLM and local order statisticallters to suppress Rician noise. This hybridlter uses the strengths of non-local and locallters and adaptively calculates the fuzzy weighted estimation of the noisy pixels. Another non local fuzzy weighted Enhanced LMMSE (Linear Minimum Mean Square Estimator) is designed. The aim of this approach is to handle adaptively the low and high levels of variation of Rician noise and to estimate a closed-form of Rician distributed signal. It estimates the noise free pixel value based on similarity of the non-local neighborhood pixels around a window of certain prede ned radius. Similarity is computed using fuzzy logic approach which is served as fuzzy weights in enhanced LMMSE module for accurate estimation of noise free pixel value. The proposed schemes handle the problem with better accuracy than several well knownltering schemes NLM, LMMSE, Wavelet based techniques etc. and therefore can be considered as original contribution of this research work. The pro- posed schemes handle the problem of Rician noise at low and high noise variances on smooth as well as detailed regions where existing methods fail due to multifar- ious nature of this noise. The improved performance of the developedlters are investigated using the standard MRI dataset and its performance is compared with previously proposed state-of-the art methods. Detailed experimentation has been performed using simulated and real datasets based on well known quantitative mea- sures. Comparative analysis demonstrates the superiority of the proposed schemes over the existing techniques.

بے سہاروں کا یہاں بوجھ اُٹھانے کے لیے

بے سہاروں کا یہاں بوجھ اُٹھانے کے لیے
کوئی تیار نہیں اپنا بنانے کے لیے

پیار ہر ایک سے کرنا ہی مری دعوت ہے
میرا پیغامِ محبت ہے زمانے کے لیے

کیا ہوا تجھ کو ترا یار اگر چھوڑ گیا
میں جو حاضر ہوں ترے ناز اُٹھانے کے لیے

میں نے جس شخص کا ہر وقت بھلا سوچا ہے
وہ ہے بے تاب مری خاک اُڑانے کے لیے

گو کہ مشکل ہے کہ تائبؔ جی سکوں حاصل ہو
ہم تو زندہ ہیں فقط رنج اُٹھانے کے لیے

Khula Between Family Code Modified by Order 05-02 and Islamic Jurisprudence

Just as a man can resort to divorce when he does not love his wife, the Islamic Law (Sharīa„h) gives the woman the right to end her marriage, if she does not love her husband. However, she will have to repay her the dowry paid to her unless there are circumstances in which a judge could force his husband to pronounce Ṭalaq without compensation from his wife. The Family Code puts an end to an abuse of the rule by judges who demanded the consent of the husband. She asserted that the demand for Khula„ was no longer conditional on the husband's acceptance. As a result, the expression "without the consent of the husband" was introduced in 2005, in Article 54 of the Family Code.

Functional Carbon Materials Derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks Mofs for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Coversion

World electricity demand is estimated to double by the mid-century and to triple by the end of the century, even after efficient conservation technology development. Fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil, the major contributors to global electricity generation, are anticipated to peak-over in the following few decades. The generation of electrical energy from renewable resources instead of from fossil fuels has received great interest due to the resource limitations and environmental impacts of the latter. Renewables such as solar radiation and wind face significant challenges of time-dependent intensity fluctuation and natural geographical distribution. Among the different strategies for smoothing the disordered renewables, the electrical energy storage and conversion has been recognized the most efficient and effective approach. Energy storage in the form of charges include supercapacitors and battery technologies, the former is very effective in terms of power density while the latter is the best option in terms of energy density. Energy conversion devices include fuel cells, which can generate electricity from chemical fuels with large efficiency and zero pollutant emission and are very suitable for use in vehicle engines and portable electronics. In the first part of this research work, different MOFs precursors, namely MOF-5, Zn-BTC, MOF-199, MIL-101(Cr) and ZIF-12 are converted to pure carbon, and metal oxide decorated carbon structures by the inert-atmosphere template carbonization approach. MOF-derived carbon nanospheres and microporous carbons have delivered specific capacitance in the range of 150 to 350 F g–1, the optimum performance of the designed electrode materials in comparison to the literature. In long-term cycling performance, the copper oxide decorated graphitic carbons and the chromium oxide decorated turbostratic graphitic carbons retained about 95% of their initial capacitance. The novel innovative hybrid composite of cobalt oxide embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from single-step calcination of ZIF-12 has shown an excellent lithium charge/discharge and storage, retaining ~95% capacity after 50 cycles and a reversible capacity of ~1100 mA h g–1 at a current density of 0.1 A g–1, which far exceeds the performance of conventional lithium ion battery anode materials under similar conditions. In the second part of this research work, platinum group metal-type (PGM-type) catalysts were deposited on MOF-5-derived high-surface area carbon and electrochemically evaluated for the fuel cell cathodic sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The Pt-Ni composition (1:1) exhibited a pronounced positive shift of 90 mV in onset-potential while the Pt-Cu composition (1:1) has delivered an outstanding stability and longevity when evaluated against the commercial Pt/C (20%) catalyst. The significantly improved activity and stability of the catalysts can be attributed to the Pt electron interaction with first-row transition metals and carbon support that prevents the nanoparticles from agglomeration and dissolution as has been proved in X-ray and microscopic analysis.
