Structural data of Ranikot anticline from Southern Kirthar Fold Belt of Pakistan is used to construct different diagrams such as beta-diagrams, pi-diagrams and contour diagrams. These diagrams are used to visualize the inter-limb angle, plunge and trend of fold axis, dip and strike of axial surface, fold symmetry, vergence and principle stress axes. This study shows that studied anticline is nearly N-S trending, open, shallow to horizontal, asymmetrical, and east-vergent anticline. Principle stress axis σ1 and σ2 lie in profile plane while σ1 and σ3 lie in axial surface.","PeriodicalId":21635,"journal":{"name":"SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL -SCIENCE SERIES","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76251215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Satellite data and image processing software also allow for LST estimation. Since its launch, two thermal infrared bands aboard the Landsat satellite have been used to continuously observe Earth, providing data for the estimation of LST and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Due to the significant uncertainty in data from both Landsat 5 thematic mapper (TM) thermal band 6, which has a wavelength of 10.40–12.50 m, and Landsat 8 thermal infrared sensor (TIRS) Band 11, as indicated by USGS calibration notifications, it was advised to use TIRS Band 10 data as a single spectral band for LST estimation. For LST estimation from Landsat 5 and Landsat 8, the mono-window (MW) approach was used with TM and TIRS Bands 6, 10, and data with a resolution of 120 and 100 m. (Path-152 and Row-40, 41, 42, and 43). The emission coefficient was calculated using the operational land imager (OLI) Bands 4 and 5 (30 m resolution) and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) proportion of vegetation method. Based on the results, the LST was higher in the arid regions, whereas the NDVI was higher in the less arid parts. Also, the LST findings were compared to the air temperature data, both data were found to be consistent with one another. The approach of MW algorithm could be a useful tool for estimating LST from TM data acquired from Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 TIRS Bands 6 and 10.","PeriodicalId":21635,"journal":{"name":"SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL -SCIENCE SERIES","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85159872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant gaps in research on antibiotic resistance in Quetta, Pakistan have been observed making it difficult to develop trendlines and resistance patterns that can contribute to fighting the dangers associated with the rise of antimicrobial resistance. The objective of this study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of bacterial isolates obtained from pus samples. A retrospective analysis was carried on regular pus specimens collected at the Chaghi laboratory in Quetta from January 2018 to December, 2020. A total of 259 specimens were examined for antibiotic susceptibility patterns, with Ciprofloxacin (85.7 %), Cephradine (78.4 %), Ofloxacin (77.6 %), and Augmentin (56%) having the greatest proportion of resistance. All S. aureus strains were vancomycin-sensitive (100%) and Ampicillin-resistant (98.6%), while all gram-negative bacteria were sensitive to Imipenem (97.9%) and Tazobactam (90%) however resistant to Ampicillin (98.6%). A gradual increase in antibiotic resistance was observed among gram-negative isolates and a notable increase in resistance was observed by S. aureus. S. aureus was shown to be the most frequent bacteria in pus samples, followed by K. pneumoniae, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. We concluded that antibiotic overuse should be avoided to prevent emerging resistance. Regular surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility patterns also aids in the development of improved treatment options for reducing morbidity and death by recognizing the real burden of antibiotic resistance in an organism and preventing its spread.","PeriodicalId":21635,"journal":{"name":"SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL -SCIENCE SERIES","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76695311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, old reproductive management is too expensive and it becomes the root of the loss of milk and meat production, it is also costly in case of labor, feed, estrus detection, long inter calving interval, postpartum estrus detection and other disease problems. To get rid of these expensive traditional practices ART has developed many methods to control estrus cycle physiology and endocrinology. Estrus synchronization tools developed in recent breeding management of dairy herds in dairy industries have become an essential part of reproduction. Many of them rely on protocols that allow timed artificial insemination (TAI) to overcome the practical anomalies during estrus detection. Currently developed programs consist of protocols that are used for re-synchronization following first or consequent inseminations. Many programs include scheduled injections of Prostaglandin (PgF2α) and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Meanwhile, progesterone and estradiol based supplements are also required in many techniques. The main program used for synchronization is \"Ovsynch\" protocol. Moreover, this review is based on the introduction, history, principles, factors and methods of estrus synchronization that are mostly used for profitable dairy farming, it will assist in the understanding of the basic mechanism that is involved in the control of estrus cycle.","PeriodicalId":21635,"journal":{"name":"SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL -SCIENCE SERIES","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83801040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
