Poverty is considered one of the basic problems confronted by the developing and underdeveloped countries of the world including Muslim majority countries like Pakistan. During the last two decades, microfinance institutions have been rapidly established all around the world on the premise that they can alleviate poverty. These institutions open ne

A classification, up to isomorphism, of two-dimensional (not necessarily commutative) Jordan algebras over any algebraically closed field is presented in terms of their matrices of structure constants.

A passively Q-switched S-band fiber laser using Molybdenum Diselenide (MoSe2) saturable absorber (SA) is proposed and demonstrated. The SA is fabricated by depositing MoSe2 onto two fiber ferrules using the drop-cast method before heating and connecting the two fiber ferrules to form the SA. The passively Q-switched fiber laser designed using the M

This report makes a comparison between the spectrum features of plasmonic metamaterial metal-insulator-conductor (MIC) sensor with a monolayer of graphene and another MIC sensor with a multilayer of graphite as the back reflector. In both structures, the silicon substrate as an insulator layer was sandwiched between subwavelength periodic nanogold

Mycobacteroides abscessus, a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, is known for multidrug resistance and ability to cause chronic infections. Diagnosis can be challenging when standard culture methods fail. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (mNGS! provides a culture-independent method for identifying pathogens directly from clinical samples. T

An accurate force-tracking in various applications may not be achieved without a complete knowledge of the environment parameters in the force-tracking impedance control strategy. Adaptive control law is one of the methods that is capable of compensating parameter uncertainties. However, the direct application of this technique is only effective fo

Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), also known as Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) is defined as a condition in which the fetus fails to achieve its genetically predetermined growth potential size. It is also identified when the estimated fetal weight orabdominal circumference falls below the 10th percentile for gestational age, with birth weight

A thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) with a tunable Q-switched output is proposed and demonstrated. A silver nanoparticle based saturable absorber is used to generate the Q-switched pulses, while a tunable Mach-Zehnder filter acts as the wavelength-tuning mechanism. The TDFL has an operating wavelength range of 1916.5-1945.3 nm, with output pulses th

In this paper, we investigate the effects of variable thermal conductivity and Newtonian heating on the stagnation point flow of Casson fluid over exponentially stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations which govern the fluid flow are reduced to ordinary differential equations by imposing suitable similarity transformation. The

The inhibitory effect of hydrogen sulfide has been indicated to activate a sequence of response mechanism through microbial mutual interactions. Bacterial mixed-culture (BMC) consortium has been found to reduce the complexity of oxidative stress through mutual interactions of helper bacteria thereby facilitating the growth of the disadvantaged inoc
