Khan, Khalid Ali,Zakir, Mohammad,Khan, Shahid Ali,Khan, Rashid Ali Cellmed Orthocellular Medicine and Pharmaceutical 2021 셀메드 (CellMed) Vol.11 No.1

Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, and it is generally allied with liver disease like cirrhosis of the liver. The ascites is commonly associated with liver cirrhosis, malignancy, or cardiovascular disease today. The liver cirrhosis is the most significant cause of ascites in developed countries as per the available data. In the modern medicine system, the treatment includes the restriction of sodium intake, use of diuretics, and paracentesis done in severe cases. There are many side effects of synthetic chemical diuretics, and their long-term use is not recommended. The alternative medicine like Unani system of medicine provides natural diuretics and drugs which also have protective effects on kidney, liver and other internal organs. It is well known in all drug systems that the prognosis is poor in ascites, but the use of Unani herbal medicines can minimize the side effects caused by synthetic chemical diuretics. The natural herbs used for the management of ascites have fewer side effects as compared to synthetic drugs. The natural drugs can be used for longer duration and provide some dietary supplement which improves the quality of life. This review addressed the thorough treatment of ascites by natural diet and medications.

Khan Hafiz Azhar Ali,Zafar Rabia,Nasir Iqra 한국응용곤충학회 2021 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.24 No.1

The success of chemical control depends on toxicity of insecticides against insect pests. Camponotus sericeus is an important urban pest with the ability to cause substantial damage to wooden structures, but there is a lack of information on toxicity of insecticides against C. sericeus. To determine the insecticide toxicity, workers of C. sericeus were exposed to 17 insecticides from different classes: carbamate (methomyl, bendiocarb), organo phosphate (chlorpyrifos, profenofos, temephos), pyrethroid (bifenthrin, deltamethrin, permethrin), neon icotinoid (acetamiprid, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam), avermectin (abamectin, emamectin), pyrrole (chlorfenapyr), phenylpyrazole (fipronil), and spinosyn (spinosad and spinetoram), via residual bioassay method. The LC 50 ranged from: 0.15 to 0.20 µg/vial for carbamates, 0.09 to 0.27 µg/vial for organophosphates, 0.09 to 0.44 µg/vial for pyrethroids, 0.02 to 0.67 µg/vial for neonicotinoids, 0.54 to 0.82 µg/vial for avermectins, 0.78 µg/vial for pyrrole, 0.62 µg/vial for phenylpyrazole, and 1.96 to 2.05 µg/vial for spinosyns. Overall, acetamiprid was the most toxic one among the tested insecticides followed by permethrin, temephos, profenofos, bendiocarb and methomyl, while spinosad and spinetoram were the least toxic insecticides. Considering the potential toxicity of different insecticides against C. sericeus, future studies could investigate the practical application of these insecticides in order to design an effective management plan.

Khan Hafiz Azhar Ali 한국응용곤충학회 2021 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.24 No.1

Essential oils from plants may provide environment-friendly alternatives to conventional synthetic insecticides. Here, toxic, repellent, and oviposition deterrent effects of essential oils of six plants: Allium sativum L. (Alliaceae), Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae), Cinnamomum cassia (L.) (Lauraceae), Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. (Myrtaceae), Piper nigrum L. (Piperaceae), and Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) (Apocynaceae), were evaluated against different life stages of Musca domestica. Bioassays revealed that the essential oils of A. indica, T. peruviana and E. camaldulensis exhibited: a) the highest toxicity on larvae (LC 50 = 169.72, 182.23 and 277.01 ppm, respectively), pupae (LC 50 = 150.56, 164.84 and 164.87 ppm, respectively) and adults (LC 50 = 166.69, 139.15 and 302.75 ppm, respectively) of M. domestica; b) the highest repellency (91.44, 72.19 and 72.80%, respectively) and oviposition deterrent (90.36, 88.82 and 89.13%, respectively) effects on adults of M. domestica, as compared to the other essential oils. Moreover, the speed of mortality caused by essential oils of A. indica (LT 50 = 16.85 and 17.06 h for larvae and adults, respectively) and T. peruviana (LT 50 = 16.46 and 18.58 h for larvae and adults, respectively) was faster than the rest of the essential oils. On the whole, it might be expected that the essential oils of A. indica, T. peruviana and E. camaldulensis could be developed into a new type of environment-friendly insecticides and/or repellents for the management of M. domestica.

Khan, Rahmat Ali Korean Mathematical Society 2014 대한수학회보 Vol.51 No.2

In this paper, we study the method of upper and lower solutions and develop the generalized quasilinearization technique for the existence and approximation of solutions to some three-point nonlocal boundary value problems associated with higher order fractional differential equations of the type $$^c{\mathcal{D}}^q_{0+}u(t)+f(t,u(t))=0,\;t{\in}(0,1)$$ $$u^{\prime}(0)={\gamma}u^{\prime}({\eta}),\;u^{\prime\prime}(0)=0,\;u^{\prime\prime\prime}(0)=0,{\ldots},u^{(n-1)}(0)=0,\;u(1)={\delta}u({\eta})$$, where, n-1 < q < n, $n({\geq}3){\in}\mathbb{N}$, 0 < ${\eta},{\gamma},{\delta}$ < 1 and $^c\mathcal{D}^q_{0+}$ is the Caputo fractional derivative of order q. The nonlinear function f is assumed to be continuous.

Khan, Ashraf Ali,Cha, Honnyong,Ahmed, Hafiz Furqan Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 2016 IEEE transactions on industrial electronics Vol.63 No.9

<P>A single-phase inverting buck-boost ac-ac converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter has no shoot-through and dead-time problems and, like conventional dc-dc converters, it can be operated with simple pulse width modulation (PWM) control. It offers high frequency and high efficiency operation because high speed mosfet can be used as switching device without the reverse recovery issues and losses of its body diode. The proposed converter features quasi-continuous input and output currents, high input power factor, low total harmonic distortion of input and output currents, and high efficiency. A 460 W laboratory prototype was constructed and tested with interleaved and complementary PWM controls using a resistive and inductive load. Detailed experimental results are provided to show the novelty of the proposed converter. Experimental results confirmed that the proposed converter can obtain 93.8% efficiency at 60 kHz switching frequency.</P>

Khan Kashif Ali,Vivas-Cortez Miguel,Ahammad N Ameer,Bushra Hafiza,Gamaoun Fehmi,Javed Muhammad Faraz,Raza Nauman 한국CDE학회 2024 Journal of computational design and engineering Vol.11 No.3

This research focuses on exploring the significance of chemical reactions and thermal radiation on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Casson–Williamson nanofluid (CWNF) over a stretching sheet. The objective is to comprehend how these factors influence the flow and heat transfer. A mathematical model, comprising partial differential equations adjusted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via utilizing some transformation. These ODEs are then tackled by MATLAB’s BVP4C method, which is part of the finite difference technique. Results are verified by comparison with existing literature and are depicted visually and in tabular format. Additionally, the study explores the effects of external factors such as magnetic fields and the Lewis number on parameters like Nusselt number, friction factor, and Sherwood number. Furthermore, heat generation in MHD CWNF is analyzed, along with a thorough evaluation of heat transfer near a stretching sheet with a permeable layer. The findings suggest that growing Brownian motion factor (Nb) and thermophoresis coefficient (Nt) enhance the rate of heat transfer, signifying improved heat transfer rates. Similarly, higher Nt values are associated with enhanced Sherwood numbers, indicating better mass transfer. Conversely, higher Nb values lead in lower local Sherwood numbers. Physically, an increase in Brownian motion causes significant displacement of nanofluid particles, boosting their kinetic energy and thereby enhancing heat generation within the boundary layer. It is noted that the Eckert number (Ec) reflects the impact of different Ec values on temperature distribution. As Ec increases, there is a proportional increase in fluid temperature due to frictional heating, which stores heat energy within the fluid. This effect becomes more pronounced for non-linear stretching surfaces, demonstrating the response of the thermal region to viscous dissipation. Viscous dissipation has the potential to enhance convective heat transfer, leading to amplified temperature distribution and thickening of the thermal layer.

Purpose Overturning and high vibration levels are major causes of agricultural farm fatalities and mechanical troubles during operation. This study assessed the stability angles of a self-propelled 1-row Chinese cabbage harvester and measured the vibration levels for safety under different conditions. Methods The stability of the Chinese cabbage harvester was investigated using computational methods, and the vibration levels were measured on off-road and field conditions. The three-dimensional model of the Chinese cabbage harvester was designed and simulated to evaluate the static stability angles employing commercial software. The relationship between vehicle and deformable soil was calculated using the empirical models. The critical angles and the climbing ability of the developed harvester were examined under loaded and unloaded conditions. The vibration exposures were measured on the cabbage conveyor and the power transmission part in static, off-road, and field operation conditions under various speeds and slopes. Results The stability simulation results showed the minimum lateral stability angles of the harvester were pointed on the loaded condition compared to the unloaded condition. The maximum sideways overturning angle of the Chinese cabbage harvester was recorded as 32° at 150° ground angle and 30° at 270° ground angle, from the moving directions clockwise, for unloaded and loaded conditions. The high levels of vibration were measured at 0.19, 1.64, and 1.38 m/s2 for static, off-road, and field conditions at high speeds among X-, Y-, and Z-axis directions, respectively. Besides, the considerable vector sum (Av) exposures were calculated 1.54, 2.14, and 2.48 m/s2 at 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 m/s forward speeds on the cabbage conveyor part. Conclusion The concept and guidelines of this research could help to protect operators from safety risks and expose vibration characteristics during farm operations of the self-propelled Chinese cabbage harvester prototype.

MORE GENERALIZED FUZZY SUBSEMIGROUPS/IDEALS IN SEMIGROUPS

Khan, Muhammad Sajjad Ali,Abdullah, Saleem,Jun, Young Bi,Rahman, Khaista The Honam Mathematical Society 2017 호남수학학술지 Vol.39 No.4

The main motivation of this article is to generalized the concept of fuzzy ideals, (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-fuzzy ideals, (${\in},{\in}{\vee}q_k$)-fuzzy ideals of semigroups. By using the concept of $q^{\delta}_K$-quasi-coincident of a fuzzy point with a fuzzy set, we introduce the notions of (${\in},{\in}{\vee}q^{\delta}_k$)-fuzzy left ideal, (${\in},{\in}{\vee}q^{\delta}_k$)-fuzzy right ideal of a semigroup. Special sets, so called $Q^{\delta}_k$-set and $[{\lambda}^{\delta}_k]_t$-set, condition for the $Q^{\delta}_k$-set and $[{\lambda}^{\delta}_k]_t$-set-set to be left (resp. right) ideals are considered. We finally characterize different classes of semigroups (regular, left weakly regular, right weakly regular) in term of (${\in},{\in}{\vee}q^{\delta}_k$)-fuzzy left ideal, (${\in},{\in}{\vee}q^{\delta}_k$)-fuzzy right ideal and (${\in},{\in}{\vee}q^{\delta}_k$)-fuzzy ideal of semigroup S.
