Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is a link between design and
discrete manufacturing schemes in a computer integrated manufacturing (CIM)
environment. In order to optimize projected variables such as cost, lead
times, equipment availability, production volumes, potential material
substitution routings and testing requirement etc., CAPP is a key tool
for engineers in the modern manufacturing industry. Distributed
decision-making in planning comes out as a rigid hierarchical structure
of tasks (size of the system matters); where the lowest levels are
well-defined tasks, such as determination of machine and cutting
parameters, while the top levels control, coordinate and manage the
entire system. The CAPP system begins with examining a workpiece's
surface, and identifies all possible machining processes for all facets,
one at a time, and later specific production facilities were taken to
the pool. Optimal machining plans are identified based on local
production conditions, e.g., machine capabilities, delivery schedules,
personnel, etc. It is found that the CAPP system is particularly useful
in a concurrent engineering environment, where a large number of design
changes are made on routine basis. LOCAM is commonly used as knowledge
acquisition tool to meet diverse process planning in integrated fashion
and minimum time. An integrated planning framework as a logical
extension of current CAPP activities is of future interest and can be
addressed by artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques to achieve
higher business impact 13-19 EFFICIENT DATA HARVESTING FOR INELASTIC TRAFFIC IN
VEHICULAR SENSOR NETWORKS
Ridha Ouni, Mohammad Zuheir Hourani,Nasir Hussain Department of Computer Engineering, CCIS, King Saud
University, P.O.Box 51178, Riyadh 11543, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT—The basic idea behind intelligent
transportation system (ITS) is how to deploy vehicular sensor network that
have many characteristic such as high computation power ,enough storage
space and mobile sensor node in order to design an effective and efficient
architecture for data collection and data exchange. In this paper we will
introduce an intelligent transportation system with new network paradigm
to collect important information from the road environment based on the
vehicular sensor network (VSN). Data aggregate provides the end users with
valuable information in order to make the road safer and less congested.
Our system framework consists of active vehicular sensor node, passive
vehicular sensor node and sink node distributed according to the road
segmentation for collecting data from active vehicular sensor node passing
by, while active vehicular sensor node collects data from passive
vehicular sensor node in their segment using multihop data harvesting.
.Finally, the simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed schema. 21-25 SUPER MAGIC AND ANTIMAGIC LABELINGS OF DISJOINT UNION

E(G). A d-antimagic labeling of type (1,1,0) of G is a one-to-one map from
V(G)ÈE(G)
onto the integers 1,2,…,|V(G)|+|E(G)| with the property that the labels
of the vertices and edges surrounding the face add up to a weight of that
face and the weights of all s-sided faces form an arithmetic progression
of difference d. A d-antimagic labeling is called
super if the smallest possible labels appear on the vertices. In this paper,
we investigate the existence of super d-antimagic labelings of type
(1,1,0) for disjoint union of plane graphs for several values of
difference d. 27-29 CUMINUM

cellulose conversion process. It breaks the lignin seal and disrupts the
crystalline structure of cellulose to make it more accessible for enzymes,
used for conversion of carbohydrate polymers into fermentable sugars.
Dilute sulphuric acid is normally used as impregnating agent as it
effectively hydrolyzes hemicellulose into monomeric sugars (xylose,
arabinose, galactose, glucose, and mannose) and oligomers. In the present
study, the effect of different parameters i.e. Time and concentration of
impregnating agent was studied for optimization of conditions for sugar
cane bagasse delignification. The temperature and biomass concentration
were kept constant i.e. 121°C and 1kg respectively. Delignification of
sugar cane bagasse was assessed, at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes
time intervals using different concentrations sulphuric acid ranging
0.5-5% as impregnating agent per 10 g dry matter. Control was also run on
varying time period and concentration of sulphuric acid. After processing,
the effectiveness of various pretreatment conditions were assessed by
estimation of weight reduction after pretreatment, lignin content,
cellulose content and concentration of total and reducing sugars released
in hydrolyzates. Results showed that efficient delignification, maximum
weight loss and highest total and reducing sugars were obtained at 180
minutes in 4% sulfuric acid. There was about 82% delignification in 4%
sulphuric acid pretreatment at 180 minutes, which may result in higher
production of ethanol. 47-50 EFFECT OF WEAVE STRUCTURE ON TENSILE STRENGTH AND YARN

School of Materials, University
of Manchester, UK ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional (3D) woven fabric as reinforcement is backbone of
composites and becoming the material preferred due to cost saving, high
production, near-net shaping and superior mechanical properties. It is
very important to determine the mechanical properties of a 3D woven fabric
before proposing the particular end use. It may be achieved by utilising a
complex engineering data to develop models which can predict the failure
mechanism. This paper presents the influence of weave structure on tensile
strength of 3D carbon Fibre woven fabric. Three different structures layer
to layer, orthogonal and angle interlock weaves have been used. Effect of
weave has been investigated in both longitudinal (warp) and horizontal
(weft) direction. The effect of crimp on failure mechanism was also
studied. It is observed that the crimp interchange between the carbon tows
and the binder yarn leads to decreasing load over the fibres (warp and
weft). As a result, strength and stiffness may be increased. Layer to
layer weave structure was found to have higher strength and moduli (in
warp) as well as strength as compared to orthogonal and angle interlock
weaves. 51-54 EFFECT OF CAUSTICIZATION ON COLOUR STRENGTH (K/S)

Manchester, UK ABSTRACT:
The
casticization of lyocell, a regenerated cellulose, fabric was studied to
determine its effect on dyeing results. The fabric was dyed with direct
dyes after casticization for that purpose. Monographs were taken on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
to decipher the surface morphology of causticized lyocell fabric in
comparison with untreated lyocell fabric. Owing to fibrillation of
lyocell; its dyeing is challenging when viewed against other regenerated
cellulosics. Frosty look is usually obtained for dark hues such as black,
navy and brown. In this research work, lyocell woven fabric was
pre-treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at varying concentrations by
pad-batch method. The causticized lyocell fabric was then dyed with
monochloro-triazine (MCT), vinyl-suphone (VS) and MCT / VS based reactive
dyes by exhaust, continuous (pad-dry-cure) and pad-batch methods. The
causticization process resulted reduction in fabric whiteness, similar
fabric absorbency and increased fabric stiffness comparing to the
untreated fabric. When dyed, the causticized lyocell fabric gave higher
colour strength (K/S); and un-level shade appearance in most cases when
compared with untreated lyocell fabric. However, pad-batch dyeing resulted
an evenly dyed fabric.

analyze the impact of twist on the strength characteristics of the yarn.
In previous studies it is noticed that while twisting and stretching, the
cross section of yarn, depends on the fibers located in two zones
(stretching and slipping). However, it was unclear that why the quantity
of loading fibres vary in between these zones. This research focuses on
the important factors such as twist angle which can affect size of
stretching and slipping zones and defines the relation of strength with
angle of twist. 59-62 HERPETOFAUNA

of Zoology, University of the Punjab, Lahore 54590, Pakistan ABSTRACT:
In the present study the blood samples of patients
diagnosed for valvular heart disease (VHD) were obtained from the Punjab
Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. Blood samples of the normal subjects of
comparable age group with an absent history of cardiac ailment were also
collected for the control comparison. The sera of all categories were
separated and used for the study of the protein profile with sodium
dodecyle sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in first
dimension. Gene Genius Bio-imaging Gel Documentation System was used for
the quantification of various protein fractions. This provides the data of
molecular weight and percent raw volume for each of the fraction. The
protein fractions that showed significant variations were separated by
using the technique of electroblotting and electroelution and run on
isoelectric focusing (IEF) in second dimension to determine the
isoelectric points. Significant increase was observed in apolipoprotein B,
alpha-2-macroglobulin,
ceruloplasmin and immunoglobulin heavy chain in VHD patients compared to
normal subjects. These
results show that level of apolipoprotein B, alpha-2-macroglobulin,
ceruloplasmin and immunoglobulin heavy chain are strong
predictor of VHD and can also be used for its diagnosis. 69-73 TOXOPLASMOSI:

is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a common intracellular protozoan parasites
of human and animals. Certain individuals are at high risk of infection
that includes, congenitally, fetuses, newborns, and immunocompromised
individuals. Toxoplasmosis encephalitis (TE), and chorioretinitis has been
described T.gondii infects herbivorous, omnivorous and carnivorous
animals. The sexual cycle of the parasites takes place in the small bowl
of members of cat family. Infection in humans through ingestion of raw or
undercooked meat or ingestion of contaminated water, food or vegetables
Acute infection is diagnosed by isolation of T.gondii or amplification of
its DNA in blood or body fluids; demonstration of tachyozoite by
histologic ,cytologic methods and by serologic tests results. Treatment of
toxoplasmosis is mainly by pyrimethamine, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
and spiramycin used in pregnant women, dosing and dosing regimen may not
be the same in different clinical entities. 75-80 APPRAISAL OF SECONDARY METABOLITES IN IN

:safdaralimirza@gmail.com ABSTRACT : Plant cell
culture systems represent a potential renewable source of valuable
medicinal compounds, flavors, fragrances, and colorants, which cannot be
produced by microbial cells or chemical synthesis. The present research
work was carried out for the analysis of secondary metabolites in callus
culture of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schard. In vitro grown seedlings
were used as explant source. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was used as
culture medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations
of 2,4-D + Kin mg/L and BAP + NAA mg/L. The callus culture formed on MS
medium added with BAP 2mg/L + NAA 3mg/L and BAP 3mg/L + NAA 2mg/L were
proved to be best for callus induction while NAA in individual application
did not produced the best results for callus induction. Laboratory grown
seedling parts and the relevant callus cultures raised from different
explants were subjected to analysis of secondary metabolites through
GC-MS. Among secondary metabolites determined, the common secondary
metabolites present in leaf and internode tissue were Toluene, α-sphinosterol,
Tetradecane, Pentadecane, Hexadecane, Octadecane, Hentriactone, and
9,12-Octadecadienoicacid[7,7]. Majority of the compounds were detected in
quantities less than 1% in seedling tissues as well as in respective
calluses. From the present study, it was observed that regardless of the
similar compounds found many metabolites were different in leaf and
internode tissue and in respective calluses.

ABSTRACT:
This paper presents the useful information about the level and
chemical composition of the inorganic aerosol pollutant particulates
matter at Lahore. The present investigation of the rainwater chemistry is
studied over the period of December 2007 – April 2008
and July – August 2008 at PCSIR Laboratories Lahore .Total 19
samples were collected and
were chemically analyzed during the period for major inorganic ion
composition viz. F, Cl, NO3, SO4, Na, K, Ca, and Mg
as well as NH4 by Ion – Chromatography Technique. All the
rain samples analyzed showed alkaline pH always, to that of reference
level 6.4 . Moreover, physical parameters like conductivity and turbidity
were determined while total carbon (
TC ) was determined by Carbon Analyzer. It has been determined that the
acid neutralization is brought about by ions, particularly calcium, in the
region. The data reveals that the ionic composition of rainwater in the
region is strongly influenced by terrestrial sources rather than
anthropogenic and marine sources.

beneficial effects on plant growth. Normally, these bacteria are
associated within the rhizosphere, so they are called rhizobacteria. These
rhizobacteria have great tendency to produce certain growth promoting
substances like Auxins, Gibbralins, Cytokinins etc. so they are called
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). Numerous bacterial species
have found as PGPR mainly Azotobactor, Azosprillium, Bacillus, Pseudomonas
etc. The application of these bacterial species as biofertilizers could be
the alternate source of synthetic fertilizers because these bacterial
species (Azotobactor, Azosprillum) have great potential to fix atmospheric
nitrogen as well as to solubilize the phosphorus in the soil.
Bio-fertilizers have no environmental hazards, so these could be the
possible substitution of synthetic fertilizers without compromising on
flax yield and it will also solve the issue of environmental pollution
which is being caused by the use of synthetic fertilizes and ultimately it
will be helpful in the restoration of environment. 101-104 DETERMINATION OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY FROM SOURCE TO

present study was conducted to check the quality of drinking water in
Sabzazar Town, District (Lahore). Samples were collected in sterilized
falcon tubes and Multiple Tube Fermentation Test was used to analyze them.
Coliforms were absent in water samples of the tube-well and supply-line,
however, they were detected in samples from consumer taps. The coliforms
were identified as E.coli by using different morphological and biochemical
tests. For the confirmation of E.coli selective medium EMB was also used.
Presence of E.coli is an indication of unhealthy /contaminated water
supply to the locality which needs immediate attention of the concerned
authorities to overcome this
problem
