Subcellular localization using fluorescence imagery: Utilizing ensemble classification with diverse feature extraction strategies and data balancing
No full textProtein subcellular localization plays a vital role in understanding proteins’ behavior under different circumstances. The effectiveness of various drugs can be assessed by the successful prediction of protein locations. Therefore, it is important to develop a prediction system that is sufficiently reliable and accurate in making decisions regarding the protein localization. However, main problem in developing a reliable and high throughput prediction system is the presence of imbalanced data, which greatly affects the performance of a prediction system. In order to remedy this problem, we utilized the notion of oversampling through Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). Further, different feature extraction strategies and ensemble classification techniques are assessed for their contribution toward the solution of the challenging problem of subcellular localization. After applying SMOTE data balancing technique, a remarkable improvement is observed in the performance of random forest and rotation forest ensemble classifiers for CHOM, CHOA and VeroA datasets. It is anticipated that our proposed model might be helpful for the research community in the field of functional and structural proteomics as well as in drug discovery
New fossils of Gaindatherium (Rhinocerotidae, Mammalia) from the Middle Miocene of Pakistan
No full textNew isolated teeth with maxillary and mandibular fragments from the Chinji Formation of the Lower Siwaliks are described and determined as Gaindatherium browni and Gaindatherium vidali. This material comes from the Middle Miocene of Lava and Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon localities, northern Pakistan, and significantly increases the number of remains previously known for this rhinocerotid genus. Specimens from the Lava site determined as G. vidali present morphological differences with respect to those of G. browni, being similar to those of G. vidali from the Nagri Formation, showing a greater size. Previously, G. vidali was reported only from the Nagri Formation of the Middle Siwaliks and the new material thus significantly widens the chronological distribution of this species in the continental deposits of the Siwaliks. This record implies that both species are not successive but rather coeval during the late Middle Miocene.Fil: Khan, Abdul Majid.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) From Birth To Prophet Hood
No full textThis study proposes to analyze and exploration of the basic structure of the agreed upon events of the Al-Sīrahof Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him). In addition to that this study intends to overcome the logic of defense -As much as possible- to make the abstract facts themselves constitute, in the mind of the reader, the true presentation of Al-Sīrah, and refute all what is commented in the past and present such as diluted and fabricated narrations, which did not have to withstand in front of the historical incident itself, because the historical events are considered as judgments and best judges itself sometimes. Thus there is a need to refer to the basic sources in the subject (especially Al-Sīrah of IbnHisham, ṬabaqātIbnSaʿd, Tārīkh Al-Ṭbrī, Maghāzī, Al-Wāqidī , Ansāb Al-Blādhrī and al-Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī...), and to deal directly with them, to avoid the overflow of the late sources and the improvisation of modern references. These are two necessary issues to build a picture close to historical reality as much as possible. Based on this methodology our focus in this paper will be on the period from the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) till His prophesy

Superior Electrochemical Performance of Two-Dimensional {RGO}/Cu/Cu2O Composite as Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries
No full textIn recent years, graphene has attracted the interest of many researchers working on LIB anode materials owing to its unique 2D structure, thermal stability, and fast electron transfer. In this work, RGO/Cu/Cu2O nanocomposites were synthesized through a hydrothermal procedure. The as-prepared nanocomposites exhibited a high lithium storage capacity with improved cycling stability and great rate performance, i.e., the discharge capacity was 371.8 mAh/g after 100 cycles at a current density of 500 mA/g. These excellent properties were associated with the sheet structure symmetry of graphene enriched with the multifunctional Cu-Cu2O component, which prevented aggregation and accommodated the volume changes of the anode material during the charge–discharge tests. The RGO/Cu/Cu2O composite conferred to the LIB anode the ability to resist electrode cracking. The approach proposed in this paper can be also generalized for the synthesis of other carbon-based anode materials for LIBs
مشاہیر کے غیرمطبوعہ خطوط امین زبیری کے نام
No full textMunshi Muhammad Ameen Zubairi (1872-1958) was a scholar known for opposing literary giants. He had written articles and books showing his aversion to and disagreement with Shibli Nomani and Allama Muhammad Iqbal. Being a well-known scholar and employed by the royal courts of Bhopal, Zubairi had befriended many prominent literary and political figures of his times and it included persons like Shibli Nomani, Zafar Ali Khan, Abdul Majid Daryabadi, Abdur Razzaq Kanpuri and many others. Muhammad Hamza Farooqi had discovered these letters, written by some towering personalities and addressed to Zubairi, preserved in London's India Office Library. He has reproduced them here with an introduction and annotations, expounding the context
Synergistic Effects of Urea, Poultry Manure, and Zeolite on Wheat Growth and Yield
No full textThe agricultural sector faces the dual challenge of enhancing crop productivity and mitigating environmental impacts. Optimizing nutrient management is vital for sustainable agriculture, particularly in sloping terrains like the Himalayan region, where damaged soils require restoration. This study explores the synergistic effects of urea, poultry manure, and zeolite on wheat growth and yield in degraded mountainous soils. A total of twelve treatments were implemented in a randomized complete block design, replicated three times. The treatments included a control (T1); urea nitrogen at 120 kg N ha−1 (UN120) (T2); poultry manure (PM) at 120 kg N ha−1 (T3); zeolite-1 (Z1) at 5 t ha−1 (T4); zeolite-2 (Z2) at 5 t ha−1 (T5); UN120 + Z1 (T6); PM + Z1 (T7); UN120 + Z2 (T8); PM + Z2 (T9); 1⁄2 UN + 1⁄2 PM + Z1 (T10); 1⁄2 UN + 1⁄2 PM + Z2 (T11); and 1⁄2 UN + 1⁄2 PM + 1⁄2 Z1 + 1⁄2 Z2 (T12). The UN120 treatment demonstrated significant improvements in wheat growth, with notable increases in shoot length (79.7%), shoot fresh weight (50.8%), root length (50.6%), chlorophyll content (53.6%), and leaf area (72.5%) compared to the control. Wheat yield and its components experienced significant improvements when treated with urea nitrogen (UN) and zeolites. Among these treatments, UN120 exhibited the highest efficacy. Nutrient content analysis revealed substantial increases in shoot nitrogen (70.6%), phosphorus (33.3%), and potassium (15.6%) with UN120 treatment compared to the control. The concoction of UN and PM with zeolites further enhanced nutrient levels. Integrating mineral nitrogen sources with organic amendments and zeolites proved effective in enhancing wheat productivity in degraded mountainous soils. Despite positive results, further research is essential for widespread recommendations
Nexus between boardroom independence and firm financial performance: evidence from South Asian emerging market
No full textThis study empirically investigates the linkage between boardroom independence and the financial performance of non-financial firms in an emerging market featured by family-controlled businesses and concentrated ownership. The relationship is tested in a sample of 152 non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange over a period from 2003 to 2018. Firms’ financial performance is measured through return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), market-to-book ratio (MBR), and Tobin’s Q (TQ), while boardroom independence is measured through the proportion of non-executive directors on the corporate board. Using the dynamic GMM approach to address the possibility of endogeneity, it was found that boardroom independence is significantly negatively related to the financial performance of the sample firms. This negative impact is due to the reason of close ties of outside independent directors (non-executive directors) with dominant shareholders and management in personal, financial, and social terms. A significant negative influence of the board size and CEO duality on firms’ financial performance was also observed. The present study will add to the existing literature on corporate governance and firm financial performance using firm-level manually collected data. Further, our findings will also help the policymakers by providing empirical insights for strengthening corporate governance mechanisms in emerging market economies, specifically in the context of Pakistan
