CFD study to improve PV cell performance by forced air: Modern design
A theoretical study was conducted on the performance of photovoltaic cells by forced airflow on the cell base. The study was conducted using numerical simulation software (ANSYS- cfx) to select the best model for its manufacture. The simulation results showed that the air guides model is the best, directing the largest amount of air to the base of the cell and the lowest cost and available in local markets. Air guides shall be installed inside an aluminum channel fixed to the bottom of the cell base and the channel dimensions shall be selected according to the dimensions of the photovoltaic cell to be cooled. A numerical study determine the best number and best location of the air guides inside the duct channel and the tilt angle of air guides and showed that the optimum number of pneumatic guides is (18) in a position (70 mm) from the base of the channel and at a 45-mile angle with the horizon
SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE OF REACTIVE POWDER CONCRETE BY USING NANO META KAOLIN
This investigation aimed to study the sustainable effect of Nano Meta Kaolin (NMK ) on some properties of reactive powder concrete. In this study, Reactive powder concrete (RPC) specimens were designed, prepared and cured for different ages (7, 28 and 60) days. The suggested specimens dimensions consist of cubes with (50mm), cylinders with (100×200 mm) and cylinders with (150×300 mm), to study compressive strength, splitting indirect tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity with varied Nano Meta Kaolin content (0, 2%, 3.5% and 5%) by weight of cementitious materials as an addition. All specimens were cured with hot water treatment (60 Cº) for 12 hours, and then put in normal water until testing day. It was found that the compressive strength of concrete with the Nano Meta Kaolin higher than the reference concrete, and also the same trend was observed for the splitting tensile strength. improvement in the compressive strength at 28 days when using (2,3.5, 5%) Nano Meta Kaolin has been about (5-15%), While the improvement in the splitting tensile strength was (3-7%), and the improvement in modulus of elasticity was (10-26%)
Correlation between Vertical Dimension of Occlusion and Finger Length in Kashmiri Population
Introduction: Measurement of accurate vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is of prime importance to the dentist especially a prosthodontist. Though many methods have been proposed in recording VDO in the past but none of them fulfills the criteria of accuracy, reproducibility and ease. This study employs theuse of length of fingers to measure VDO in Kashmiri population. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 60 dentulous subjects which include 30 males and 30 females in the age range of 18 to 25 years. Measurement of VDO and length of fingers was recorded using a digital vernier caliper. Correlation between VDO and length of fingers was studied using Spearman’s coefficient. Result: Vertical dimension of occlusion was found to be almost the length of index finger in males and little finger in females in Kashmiri population. Conclusion: The study revealed that length of index finger is almost equal to VDO in males and length of little finger is almost equal to VDO in females. 
Migration futures in Asia and Africa : economic opportunities and distributional effects : the case of Pakistan
Declining agricultural yields and diminishing livelihood prospects due to climate change may motivate people to move households in search of better opportunities. This study applies two types of analyses: (i) a livelihood resilience approach: by constructing a resilience index for migrant and non-migrant households, and (ii) a case study approach for each study site, towards better understanding of factors that drive out-migration from rural areas; the social impacts of male out-migration on left-behind families; and the profile of current and potential migrants among households. This report is part of a long-term research agenda that guides Pathways to Resilience in Semi-arid Economies (PRISE).UK Government’s Department for International Development (DfID)International Development Research Centre (IDRC
STUDY TO REVEAL THE MANDIBULAR FRACTURES PATTERN AND ITS ETIOLOGY
Objective: The purpose of this analysis was to analyze and evaluate the mandible fracture pattern in 150 patients treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Study Design: A descriptive study.
Location and Duration: In the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Nishtar Hospital, Multan for one year duration from Feb 2018 to January 2019.
Methods: These patients were evaluated radiologically and clinically to detect mandibular fractures. Gender, age and fracture data were reviewed and evaluated. The 2 to 78 years of age was the means age (mean 25 years) and in the age group 21 to 30 years. The male to female ratio was 3.99: 1.
Results: The mandible fractures main cause was the traffic accidents [RTA (n = 65, 41.96%)], (n = 42, 28%), followed by the bullet wound [FAI 25; 16.6%], fights (s = 8, 4.7%, sports (n = 6, 3.4%), accidents while doing work (n = 4, 3%) and 4 cases are because of other bomb explosions and injuries by animals. = 40, 23.3%) and body (n = 38, 22.2%), followed by parasympathetic (n = 47, 27.4%).

Electrocardiogram Classification Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks: A Review
Due to many new medical uses, the value of ECG classification is very demanding. There are some Machine Learning (ML) algorithms currently available that can be used for ECG data processing and classification. The key limitations of these ML studies, however, are the use of heuristic hand-crafted or engineered characteristics of shallow learning architectures. The difficulty lies in the probability of not having the most suitable functionality that will provide this ECG problem with good classification accuracy. One choice suggested is to use deep learning algorithms in which the first layer of CNN acts as a feature. This paper summarizes some of the key approaches of ECG classification in machine learning, assessing them in terms of the characteristics they use, the precision of classification important physiological keys ECG biomarkers derived from machine learning techniques, and statistical modelling and supported simulation
Dispersible crystalline nanobundles of YPO4 and Ln (Eu, Tb)-doped YPO4: rapid synthesis, optical properties and bio-probe applications
Undoped and Ln(3+) (Eu and Tb)-doped crystalline nanobundles of YPO4 were prepared by a facile microwave-assisted route with water as a solvent and without using any surfactant. TEM investigations reveal that the as-prepared powder consists of lenticular-shaped nanobundles (similar to 100 nm in diameter) made of very small nanorods with diameter less than 10 nm and length varying from 20 to 50 nm. Each nanorod in turn is single crystalline, as revealed by HRTEM imaging. The as-prepared nanobundles are easily dispersible in various solvents, especially water, without any surface functionalization, which is critical for various bio-probe applications like cell and tissue imaging. The Eu- and Tb-doped YPO4 nanobundles show good photoluminescence properties and were further evaluated for their use as fluorescent biolabels. Our results show that HeLa cells labelled with Eu- and Tb-doped YPO4 nanobundles show bright red (Eu) and green (Tb) intracellular luminescence under a confocal microscope. Concentration-and time-dependent MTT cell viability assays show that the nanobundles show low toxicity towards cells which makes them promising in bioimaging field
