    Patient comfort, infection control, and drying of mucous coating are some reasons why temperature and humidity control are important in Operation Theater (OT). Health care facility guidelines recommend maintaining 50% to 60% relative humidity in the OT during surgical procedures. It also recommended the OT temperature be maintained in a range of 18°C to 22°C. Three main requirements influence the control of the temperature of OT is to avoid humidities, promote the comfort and working efficiency of the staff, and conserve the patient's resources. Research by ASHRAE has found that 50% relative humidity is ideal for building occupants to avoid the hazards of fungi, bacteria, viruses and respiratory difficulties, and also controls airborne bacteria. Since the OT operate continuously, thus the system of air-conditioning that can automate the controller of ON and OFF the heaters and motorized valve continuously is needed. The PIC Microcontroller controlling technique has been selected for this project. The technique applied programming code that write in programmer tool which is mikro Basic PRO for PIC. The programming code will be simulated in PIC simulator software and then the coding will download into PIC 16873 microchip if there is no error. The PIC 16873 microchip now connected to controller hardware which contains input components, output components, LCD display and main board components. The present overview shows this technique provide the simplest and the cheapest technique for controlling the temperature and humidity simultaneously. Such an overview provides an insight into current control method and has the comprehensive information about a variety of control techniques in the field of HVAC

He is a graduate of the University of Maiduguri, and has a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics. He said that his interest in Kanuri Ajami, coupled with his background (being Kanuri himself and a linguist), motivate him to develop a collection of Kanuri Ajami texts. Alhaji Bashir has extensive Islamic knowledge and currently works for the Borno State government.This manuscript is a very short work in Arabic with extensive explicatory glosses in Kanuri Ajami. It has two parts. The first is Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ’s work dealing with tawḥīd (oneness of God), the five pillars of Islam, the attributes of Allāh, the articles of faith, and elaborated notes on the characteristics of the Almighty God. The second part of the work deals with anger, anxiety, and depression. It provides words of wisdom on how to manage, control and eradicate these conditions. Both parts (tawḥīd and anger management) are written as poems. It is unclear whether the author of the first part is the same as author of the second part. The manuscript reflects the long history of Islamic scholarship in Kanem-Borno. The manuscript is unbound, complete, easy to read, and has no damaged pages. The total number of pages is only 11.The contents of this collection were developed with support of the Title VI National Resource Center grant # P015A180164 from the U.S. Department of Education.

Such as historical, religious, scientific, social facts, for the discovery of which the author has to go through research gorges.

    An evaluation of some management practices for improving wheat productivity in northern Pakistan

    No full text
    This study reviews the current management practices for wheat production in D.I. Khan and compares the farmers' actual management practices with the practices recommended by research and extension specialists of Agriculture Department, estimates the yield gap as a result of deviations between actual and recommended practices and identifies the causes of deviations. The study has implications for policy makers, researchers, extension workers and farmers.It was observed that there are large deviations between farmers' actual practices and the practices recommended for them. Some of the recommended practices, e.g., use of certified seed and chemical control of weed etc., were not attempted even by a single sample farmer. Use of Fertilizer (both nitrogen and phosphorous) was only 40% of the recommended level. As a result of deviations of between actual and recommended practices a yield gap of 490 kg per acre was estimated. This gap is in the range of some of the earlier research studies conducted in Pakistan. It was attempted to identify the causes of management deviations. Deviations were higher for those inputs which are purchased from the market (input supply centers) as compared with those which are locally available. Poor financial conditions of farmers, difficulties in transportation of inputs from market to farm, lack of awareness about recommended practices and relative low profitability of wheat as compared with other crops were responsible for deviation between actual and recommended doses of fertilizers. For use of tillage only the level of awareness proved to be affective, whereas for irrigation none of the variables had significant coefficient. It was also observed that recommended level of phosphorous was not economically sound because the recommended dose was more than double than the profit maximizing quantity.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:23:30Z (GMT).

    The author compared study attitudes of low and high achievers by using a self-developed study attitude scale (SAS) consisting of 36 items. Academic performance was measured through marks obtained by the students in the 9th grade examination conducted by the external body.  The analysis revealed that the study attitude of secondary school students was related with their academic achievement.  A t-test for independent samples showed that there was a significant difference between the study attitude of male, female, rural and urban students

    مرعاۃ المفاتیح (شرح مشکاۃ المصابیح) میں مولانا عبیداللہ رحمانی مبارک پوری کے منہج کا اختصاصی مطالعہ: A Specialized Study of the Methodology of Maulana Ubaidullah Rahmani Mubarakpuri in the Commentary 'Mirat al-Mafatih' on Mishkat al-Masabih

    No full text
    Mishkat al-Masabih is a book of Hadith included in the curriculum of religious seminaries in the Indian subcontinent. In this region, three commentaries in Arabic have been written on this book. Among them is a renowned commentary by the distinguished scholar of the Ahl-e-Hadith school of thought, Maulana Obaidullah Rahmani, which is famously known as "Miratual -Mafātīḥ” This commentary holds a prominent position in explaining the text of the Hadith. It includes the introduction of narrators, resolution of conflicting hadith, and discussions on jurisprudential schools of thought. The most remarkable feature of this commentary is that the author does not represent any specific school of jurisprudence. Instead, He gives preference to opinions based on evidence. The author has adopted the methodology of the Muhaddithin (Hadith scholars) in matters of beliefs and ambiguous texts, specifically the approach of Tafweedh (consigning the meaning to Allah). One of the notable qualities of this commentary is that the Hadiths have been numbered, making it easier to benefit from the book and reference specific narrations efficiently. The commentary spans nine volumes and covers up to the end of Kitab al-Manasik (the Book of Pilgrimage)
