An investigation was designed to elucidate the relationship between length versus weight and condition of fish from Sonmiani Balochistan, Pakistan during January to May 2016. In total 884 fish samples were analyzed from the catch of local fisher folk. The relationship of four common fish species were calculated as below. Acanthopagrus berda: Log a -2.89+3.90 Sillago sihama: Log a -1.07 +2.21 Liza subviridis: Log a -0.89 + 2.15 Sardinella longicep: Log a -1879+2.95 It has been noted from the above regression equations that the three experimental fish exhibited b= value less than 3. The condition factor was calculating for each species separately and ranged within 1.0 – 1.18, while Sardinella longicep was found slightly in better condition (Kn=1.18) in relation to other three species. Finally, it was concluded that the environmental conditions of Sonmiani lagoon supports the fish potential positively as indicated both the values of relationship between length versus weight and coefficient of condition values of experimental fish termed as satisfactory or positive allometric type of growth. In case of Acanthopagrus berda was found in ideal condition in comparison of other species.
一项调查旨在阐明2016年1月至5月期间来自巴基斯坦俾路支省Sonmiani的鱼的长度与重量和状况之间的关系。共分析了当地渔民捕获的884份鱼类样本。四种常见鱼类的关系计算如下:细棘鱼:Log a -2.89+3.90细棘鱼:Log a -1.07 +2.21细棘鱼:Log a -0.89 + 2.15长尾沙丁鱼:Log a -1879+2.95由上述回归方程可知，3种实验鱼的b=值均小于3。对各鱼种的条件因子分别进行了计算，其范围在1.0 ~ 1.18之间，其中长尾撒丁鱼(Sardinella longicep)的条件略好于其他3种，Kn=1.18。最后得出结论，Sonmiani泻湖的环境条件对鱼的潜力有积极的支持作用，无论是长度与重量的关系值还是实验鱼的条件值系数，都被称为满意或正异速生长型。与其他物种相比，粗棘鱼的生长状况较为理想。

Exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) is one of the recently developed techniques in GIS used to analyze the statistical characteristics and spatial heterogeneity of population data. Current research is focused on the examination of spatial patterns of population growth rate in Bahawalpur district of Pakistan. Based on census data at union council level of the district, the present study uses specific techniques of ESDA including spatial autocorrelation and Moran’s Index to analyze the distribution and concentration of population. Keeping in view the research objectives, paper is divided in two sections. The first section deals with the analysis of spatial distribution of population growth rate at a specific interval size. The second part of the research deals with the application of spatial autocorrelation to examine the spatial clustering of population growth in the district. The results of the study show the spatial clustering of population growth rate in the northern part i.e. Bahawalpur city. The study concludes that uneven and non- random population distribution is not the result of random chance and is associated with various factors. The study can be beneficial for population planning authorities to identify the major clustered areas of high and low population growth for planning and regional development of the area.

In this paper, a new modified algorithm is designed for combined numerical integration. Using the modified algorithm several definite integrals have been approximated, and the results have been compared with existing rules and a rule proposed by(Md. Amanat Ullah, 2015).The rules from the closed quadrature family, namely, Trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s 1/3rule and Weddle’s rule have been used. The results obtained by combined use of these quadrature rules as per the proposed algorithm show that the new modified algorithm gives more accuracy when compared with existing rules and the rule of Md. Amanat Ullah for a fixed number of intervals.

Consanguineous marriages are the deeply rooted social trend in Pakistan, which lead to the high prevalence of inherited diseases. Thalassemia is an inherited disorder characterized by the abnormal synthesis of hemoglobin leading to anemia. β-thalassemia is the most common inherited disorder in Pakistan particularly in Sindh. The patients of β-thalassemia need repeated transfusion, which might cause complications causing the high rate of mortality in blood transfusion dependent β-thalassemia patients. Several studies have previously reported the high prevalence of β-thalassemia in Pakistan, however, the prevalence of β-thalassemia in the siblings borne from β-thalassemia carrier parents and association of ABO blood group with β-thalassemia have not been extensively studied. The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of β-thalassemia in the siblings of β-thalassemia carriers parents. This study was also set to find out the association of β-thalassemia with ABO blood groups. This was a cross sectional study carried out from August 2016 to July 2017 in the Thalassemia centers of district Dadu and district Hyderabad. In this study, 168 children from 50 families were selected for the study. The results indicate that almost half of the births 44.64% from β-thalassemia carriers are the β-thalassemia patients. B blood group was found to be higher in both in male and female β-thalassemia patients. Male had higher prevalence of β-thalassemia than female children. The pattern of ABO blood group distribution was B > O > A > AB, and for the RH factor it was RH + ve > Rh –ve. Conclusively, this study indicates the higher prevalence of β-thalassemia in siblings borne from β-thalassemia carrier’s parents. β-thalassemia was higher in male children and B blood group was higher than other blood groups.
近亲婚姻是巴基斯坦根深蒂固的社会趋势，导致遗传性疾病的高发病率。地中海贫血是一种遗传性疾病，其特征是血红蛋白合成异常导致贫血。β-地中海贫血是巴基斯坦最常见的遗传性疾病，特别是在信德省。β-地中海贫血患者需要反复输血，这可能导致输血依赖性β-地中海贫血患者死亡率高的并发症。先前有几项研究报道了β-地中海贫血在巴基斯坦的高患病率，然而，β-地中海贫血在携带β-地中海贫血父母所生的兄弟姐妹中的患病率以及ABO血型与β-地中海贫血的关系尚未得到广泛研究。本研究的目的是了解β-地中海贫血携带者父母的兄弟姐妹中β-地中海贫血的患病率。本研究还旨在找出β-地中海贫血与ABO血型的关系。这是2016年8月至2017年7月在大都区和海得拉巴区地中海贫血中心进行的一项横断面研究。本研究选取了来自50个家庭的168名儿童进行研究。结果表明，β-地中海贫血携带者的新生儿中几乎有一半(44.64%)是β-地中海贫血患者。B血型在男性和女性β-地中海贫血患者中均较高。男性儿童β-地中海贫血患病率高于女性儿童。ABO血型分布为B > O > A > AB, RH因子为RH + ve > RH -ve。最后，本研究表明β-地中海贫血在β-地中海贫血携带者父母所生的兄弟姐妹中患病率较高。男性儿童β-地中海贫血发生率较高，B血型高于其他血型。

In latest years research has drawn attention on text analysis in natural scenes. Databases play a significant part in the efficiency assessment of the algorithm for text recognition. A data set of natural scene text images in six distinct languages have recently been released in an International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR).This dataset is for multi-languages except Urdu. In the natural images of the Urdu scene, there is an absence of a conventional Urdu text database. This research therefore mainly aims to build a database for Urdu text in natural scenes. The dataset is very large because there are 10 distinct cameras with distinct resolution, distinct angles and distinct range requirements for each picture captured by distinct light zone. The dataset comprises of Urdu words, ligatures and characters in natural scenes. The dataset contains 16k images of words, 32k ligatures and characters images. This dataset contains 1kimagesincluding signboard, a name of the store, banners and so on. In addition, the Urdu dataset is contrasted with the current data set including ICRAR 2003, ARASTI, Chars 74k, etc. The dataset includes many images from the natural scene so it can be used in natural environments to identify Urdu text.

The nutritional efficacy of sea-bream seed Acanthopagrusberda (Forsskal, 1775), was observed intensively cultivated for 5 weeks. Seed of experimental fish were collected from wild by the help of cast net. Collected seed were procured with oxygenated tanks carefully into the aqua-lab. Juveniles were kept in well aerated 60-L-1 glass water treatment tanks (10-1) with their two replicates and fed on different commercial diets i.e. T1-floating feed and T2-sinking feed. Feed were given twice daily after seven hours interval period, according to their total biomass (body weight, 2 %) and later on, the amount of feed was adjusted by their wet body weight in all tanks. After completion of acclimatization period, fries were distributed among treatments having mean initial length and weight (4.5±0.5 cm, 5.84±0.3g) respectively. At the end of experiment, all juveniles were collected and measured total length (cm) and weight (g). Results shows that, the highest weight gain (g) was found in T1, floating feed (17.8±0.2g) as compared to T2, sinking feed (12.6±0.17g), while the ratio of food conversion and growth, also K were absolutely different (P<0.05) among treatments. Survival remained 100% in both treatments. However, physicochemical parameters of water found in an optimum range throughout the experimental period i.e. (temperature; 27 to 28 ◦C), (Dissolve oxygen; 6.8 to 7.3±32 mgL-1), pH (7.3 to 7.5), ammonia (0.067±0.004 mgL-1), NO2-N below (0.006 mgL-1) and salinity (17‰ to 20‰). It is suggested that, 40% protein comprising floating feed is best for obtaining optimum growth in post fry black-fin seabream, Acanthopagrusberda in captivity.

A total of 118 Staphylococcusaureus isolates from various clinical and non-clinical sources were processed for the determination of antibiotic resistance against a set of aminoglycoside group of antibiotics. In this study,44% (n=52) isolates were from various clinical specimens i.e. pus, blood and nose, while 56% (n=66) were recovered from the skin surfaces of healthy volunteers representing the non-clinical isolates. The highest percentage of resistance among both clinical and non-clinical isolates was observed against Neomycin (i.e. clinical = 86.5%, non-clinical = 39.3%). The lowest percentage of resistance among both clinical and non-clinical isolates was observed against Gentamycin (i.e. clinical = 34.6%, non-clinical = 4.5%). The percentage of difference for Amikacin, Gentamycin and To bramycin resistance between clinical non-clinical isolates was observed to be more than 100. The Odd Ratio for Amikacin, Gentamycin and Tobramycin resistance between clinical and non-clinical isolates was 17.75, 11.12, and 20.59, respectively while the p-values were determined as 0.0001 in all the three cases, suggesting a significant association of Amikacin, Gentamycin and Tobramycin resistance with clinical S.aureusisolates.
