Sher; M. Hussain; M. Q. Waqar; M. A. Ali; M. F. Iqbal Abstract: Survey was conducted by the researchers of Adaptive Research Farm, Gujranwala during kharif 2010 to evaluate the economic return of approved and un-approved varieties of coarse rice by selecting eighty five farmers. The selected farmers were interviewed according to a well designed questionnaire. The approved variety KSK-133 gave highest paddy yield 6453 kgha-1followed by un-approved Shahkaar (6357 kgha-1) and Superi (5574 kgha-1).Income recorded for approvedvariety KSK-133 was Rs. 132344 ha-1 which was slightly less as compared to unapproved Shahkaar (Rs. 136162 ha-1). The result of the survey revealed that education plays a vital role in agriculture development. Moreover farmers having own machinery and easily excess to hired labour earned maximum revenue from their crops.

Ali; S. Khusro; A. Rauf; S. Mahfooz Abstract: Sensors can be found virtually in all fields of applications for automatic real-world data acquisition for using in plethora of decision making processes. Recent advancements have turned mobile phones from simple communication devices into complete computing devices, leveraging novel systems and services. Most of the systems have used sensors for automatic data acquisition and have gained high levels of successes. Due to the increasing use of sensors in mobile phones, today’s mobile phones come with a number of sensors while experiencing the integration of new sensors in the near future. Sensors and mobile phones integration can be attributed to plenty of reasons including easy usage, cost reductions, and high productivity etc. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of sensors integration in mobile phones, sensors classification, identifies a number of available and emerging sensors in mobile phones, and outlines a number of limitations and recommendations for the research communities to address.

Khan; N. Chaudhary; S. Khan; S.R. Ahmad Abstract: For instituting a useful research cum database, a critical description of morhometric analysis was transformed for a better mitigation option. Analysis of streams order No. 2 displayed signatures of lithologic and structural control, knick points, non-symmetrical longitudinal profile, and high value of sinuosity index (1.75) besides orientation of lineament pattern that had depicted an interface of Cymatogenic uplift for drainage basin configuration. Notably, Kaghan Valley of the Kunhar River (KR) originated from shoulder of the Nanga Parbat. Resultantly, valley had undergone tectonic pressures, being tilted northeast to southwest and suffered severe compression so the drainage showed zig zag pattern with prominent knick points. The impact of KR was added silted flow into the Jhelum River that was custodian of Mangla, the country’s hydal power producing facility. The activity of KR was a point of unique significance because its future behavior might take a different pattern depending on the changing morphology of the area. The present study was to analyzed morphometric status for predicted future behavior of KR drainage system. The data so provided was of immense practical value to develop a comprehensive strategy for implementation of water resources and sustainable development projects.

A. Shaikh; I. Ahmad Abstract: The present study evaluated the potential of reusing washing and rinsing wastewater after it was treated with ozone (O3). Experimental results showed that 95, 98, and 100% colour removal efficiencies were achieved in a composite wastewater sample at 10, 20, and 30 minutes of O3 treatment, respectively. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and pH values were also found to be decreasing with increasing treatment time. Cotton dyeings were then carried out in O3 decolourized washing and rinsing wastewater using three widely used commercial reactive dyes. Dyedfabric samples were subjected to quality testing in terms of washing, rubbing, and colour difference properties. This study concluded that ozonation was an efficient method for the treatment of textile washing and rinsing wastewater. The treated wastewater was then successfully reused in cotton dyeing without deteriorating the dyeing quality. This method also proved to be environmentally friendly because it did not consume any fresh water and used only discarded wastewater, hence reducing pollution load significantly.
