Joint Optimization of Semi-Passive IRS Phase Shifts and NOMA Power Coefficients for Cooperative CRNs
No full textWe investigate the incorporation of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) into cooperative spectrum-sharing cognitive radio networks (CRNs). The CRN consists of a primary user (PU) and multiple secondary users (SUs). There are two transmission phases. In the first phase, the primary transmitter is assisted by an IRS to serve the primary user (PU). This arrangement allows the primary network to allocate a part of its spectrum to the users within the secondary network. In the subsequent phase, the secondary transmitter (ST) employs a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission technique to simultaneously serve the PU and secondary users (SUs). By utilizing a semi-passive IRS, both data transmission to the PU and channel estimation of SUs are performed simultaneously during the first transmission phase. The main objective is to improve the weighted sum-rate of the CRN through a joint optimization of the NOMA power coefficients and IRS phase adjustments during the second transmission phase. We propose an effective algorithm that breaks down the primary sum-rate maximization problem into two sub-problems where IRS phase shifts are computed once at the beginning of the algorithm. Through simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields substantial gains in the sum-rate performance compared to existing methods
Comparative analysis of Dr. Mohsin Khan and Maulawi Sher Ali's translation of surah Adh Dhuha and Ash Sharh
No full textBeing a Quran translator is not an easy activity, because Al Quran has a very beautiful language with high literature. Of course translating the Qur'an has a different level of difficulty with translating other texts. Both Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali have translated the Qur'an very well, so it is easy to be understood by the reader from a word. This is because both translators translate the Qur'an accurately and can answer the problems of life with the point of view of the Quran. Described in plain language and not complicated. The main problem in this research is the differences and similarities of semantic aspects that influence the translation of the work of Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali. The results of this study indicate that the lexical semantic translation style that influences the difference and its perspectives is in terms of its purpose. In translating the Qur'an, Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali are not only influenced by linguistic factors, but are also influenced by extralinguistics factors such as circumstances when translating and the science background of both translators in translating the Qur'an. In translating the Qur’an verses, Dr. Mohsin Khan is simple. This can be seen in his translation work. The first interpretation is done by giving the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an, then giving a global interpretation, without beginning with the explanation of the meaning of the word. By not adding many notes in his commentary, as if Dr. Mohsin Khan wants to invite readers to focus on dialogue with god. While MaulawiSher Ali in translating Quran verse many provide footnotes or other translation options. With the explanation, the author has the opinion that what is done by MaulawiSher Ali is to clarify and facilitate the reader in understanding the meaning of the verses of Quran
Chief executive compensation - part and parcel of the agency problem: empirical evidence from Pakistan / Mohsin Ali Patel, Aamir Firoz Shamsi and Muhammad Asim.
No full textAs per the agency theory, there is a conflict of interest between shareholders and managers. Shareholders are the principal and managers are the agents of a company. Both these parties have different objectives. So, these top executives who are hired to safeguard the interests of shareholders, after a period might start working for their own personal interests like, increase in the amount of their compensation and benefits, and, on the contrary, shareholders might wish to decrease operating expenses, salaries and aim for higher profits, or dividends. The objective of this study is to study the agency theory with reference to an insight to compensation for chief executives in Pakistan. It aims to find the effect of shareholder dividends, financial performance and firm size on executive compensation. The results show that market capitalization and return on assets are the major factors effecting executive compensation. However, interestingly, shareholder dividends do not show to have any effect on compensation
Exploring the effective teaching aspects of the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
No full textEducation and learning are crucial aspects of human life, and it is essential to select effective teaching methods to promote them. However, in many educational institutions, esteemed teachers are taught and encouraged to use European-imported teaching methods, whether they are inductive, deductive, kindergarten, or Montessori methods. Regrettably, the teaching method that is closest to human nature and was used by the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and subsequent generations of Muslims, such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, Muhammad ibn Qasim, and Tariq ibn Ziyad, is often neglected. Highly educated teachers are not aware of how the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught, which is a heartbreaking situation. This series aims to address this issue
Estimation of Canal Water Deficit Using Satellite Remote Sensing and GIS: A Case Study in Lower Chenab Canal System
No full textThe timely precise information of land use land cover (LULC) in the canal command area can help in managing irrigation water according to the crop water requirement. A study was conducted to map the LULC of irrigated command area of three distributaries in the lower Chenab canal system, Pakistan, namely Mungi, Killianwala and Khurrianwala for the estimation of canal water deficit (CWD). Multispectral images of LANDSAT-7 were used for Rabi season of 2009–2010 and 2010–2011. Normalized difference vegetation index-based unsupervised classification was performed for the formation of LULC of the commands area. During the initial classification, totally nine clusters were created with maximum likelihood. These clusters were then merged into final four classes on the basis of field knowledge. Accuracy assessment was performed using error matrix; producer and user accuracies were estimated for each class with overall accuracy of 84% and 86% for the Rabi season 2009–2010 and 2010–2011, respectively. For the assessment of the irrigation water demand,
potential evapotranspiration was estimated using the Penman–Monteith equation. Crop water requirement was estimated based on the 10-day Kc value of the mapped crop from the LULC. Irrigation water demand for cropped area was estimated from the LULC and crop evapotranspiration. Canal water deficit was estimated from the available canal water supply and irrigation water requirement in the Rabi season. During the Rabi seasons, average CWD was 64%, 72% and 32% (2009–2010) and 33%, 46% and 36% (2010–2011) for Khurrianwala, Killianwala and Mungi distributary, respectively
The Allusionary Discussion of Hazrat Ali in Urdu Ghazliate: An Analytical Study
No full textThe Urdu ghazal has the ability that, despite its creative journey spanning more than eight centuries, the process of carving continues. In the Urdu Ghazal, where all the discussions of human life are discussed, there is also precious capital related to the topics of religions and nations. In the Urdu Ghazal, where all the discussions of human life are discussed, there is also precious capital related to the topics of religions and nations. The commitment of this industry is seen with great importance by classical poets. All the events and stories of Islam are expressed in the words of classical poets. The entire classical period from Vali Dikni to Mirza Dagh Dehlavi performs the poetic duty of interpreting the entire lives of religious figures. Hazrat Ali was the son of Ibn Abi Talib, the son-in-law of the Holy Prophet. The Lord Almighty has blessed him with countless honours and degrees. The efforts and sacrifices of both of you cannot be ignored in propagating and spreading the religion of Islam. In this article, a technical review of the references attributed to the biography and personality of Hazrat Ali (RA) has been taken, which will help to understand what the point of view of the poets is regarding the personality and achievements of Moula Ali (RA)

The effect of metal type in ion exchanged SAPO-34 for the direct conversion of methane to methanol
No full textFormålet med denne masteroppgaven var å funksjonalisere chabazitt (CHA) zeotypen SAPO-34 ved konvensjonell ionebytting med Cu, Zn, Fe, Ag og Co, undersøke effekten av ionebyttingen og evaluere Me/SAPO-34-prøvene for partiell oksidasjon av metan til metanol.
Den direkte konverteringen av metan til metanol (dMtM) har det siste tiåret tiltrukket oppmerksomhet som en alternativ rute for konvertering av metan til høyverdige kjemikalier i stedet for den energikrevene ruten gjennom dampreformering. Metallene Cu, Zn, Fe, Ag og Co ble konvensjonelt ionebyttet inn i strukturen til SAPO-34. Alle metallene har tidligere blitt rapportert som aktive katalysatorer for metanaktivering i andre bærematerialer. Til tross for at SAPO-34 har blitt pekt på som et lovende bæremateriale for metankonvertering, er det lite publisert forskning på Me/SAPO-34 for denne reaksjonen. I denne oppgaven rapportes, så langt forfatteren kjenner til, den første katalytiske testen av Zn/SAPO-34 og Ag/SAPO-34 for dMtM, ettersom bare Cu- og Co-ionebyttet SAPO-34 har blitt rapportert tidligere.
Me/SAPO-34-prøvene ble karakterisert med XRD, nitrogenfysisorpsjon, ICP-MS og SEM. Materialene ble funnet til å være ionebyttet med Cu, Zn, Ag og Co med metallinnhold som varierte fra 0,1 til 5,1 vekt. Generelt reduserte ionebyttingen krystalliniteten, overflatearealet og porevolumet til alle undersøkte prøver. Høyere metallinnhold ser ut til å være en faktor for reduksjonene, men ikke alle resultater underbygger teorien.
Katalytiske ytelsestester viste at Me/SAPO-34 (Me = Cu, Zn, Ag, Co) alle var aktive for dMtM, og viste at det er mulig å konvertere metan til metanol over oksygenaktiverte metallseter i SAPO-34 i en trinnvis prosess. Cu-prøven viste aller høyest metanolproduksjon, tett fulgt av Zn. Metanolproduksjon per metallinnhold viste imidlertid at Co-prøven med kun 0,1 vekt Co viste nesten 50 ganger høyere metanolproduksjon enn alle andre undersøkte prøver. Imidlertid viste Ag-prøven lav produksjon av metanol per metallsete, og er muligens ikke like godt egnet for dMtM i SAPO-34 som de andre undersøkte metallene.In this thesis, the main objective was: to functionalise the chabazite (CHA) zeotype SAPO-34 by conventionally ion exchanging Cu, Zn, Fe, Ag and Co into the framework; investigate the effect of the ion exchange and evaluating the catalytic performance of the Me/SAPO-34 samples for the direct conversion of methane to methanol (dMtM).
The dMtM has attracted worldwide attention in the last decade and gained traction as a viable alternative pathway to the energy-intensive syngas route for conversion of methane into value-added chemicals. The metals Cu, Zn, Fe, Ag and Co that were ion exchanged by liquid ion exchange (LIE) into SAPO-34, have all been previously reported to be active for methane activation on other supports. However, despite the fact that SAPO-34 has been proposed as a promising support for the conversion, the literature on Me/SAPO-34 is scarce. Indeed, this is to the best of the authors knowledge the first report of catalytic tests of Zn/SAPO-34 and Ag/SAPO-34 for the dMtM, as only Cu- and Co-exchanged SAPO-34 have previously been reported.
Herein, the Me/SAPO-34 samples were characterised by XRD, nitrogen physisorption, ICP-MS and SEM. The materials were found to be successfully ion exchanged with Cu, Zn, Ag and Co with metal loadings ranging from 0.1-5.1 wt.%. In general, the ion exchange reduced the crystallinity, surface area and pore volume of all investigated samples. Higher metal loading appear to be a factor for the decrease, though not conclusive as the trend is not clear for all samples.
Catalytic performance tests showed that Me/SAPO-34 (Me = Cu, Zn, Ag, Co) were all active for the dMtM, revealing that it is possible to convert methane to methanol over oxygen activated metal sites in SAPO-34 in a stepwise process. The Cu containing SAPO-34 sample exhibited the highest methanol yield as expected. However, the 0.1 wt.% Co sample exhibited significantly (50 times) higher methanol yield per metal content than all other investigated samples
