A woman’s ability to space and limither pregnancies has a direct impact on her health and as well as on the outcome of eachpregnancy”. The population of Pakistan represents 2.56% of the world’s total population whichmean that every 39th person of the world is resident of Pakistan. Objectives: To highlight thefactors affecting male’s decision making regarding family planning in district Buner KPK. StudyDesign: A cross sectional study. Setting: District Buner, KPK. Period: March, 2015 and July,2015. Methods: Stratified simple random sampling was performed for collecting data. Samplesize of 210 was collected from two Union Councils of Buner. Outcome variable was husband’sdecision making regarding family planning. Researcher administered questionnaire was usedfor data collection. Results: Husband’s decision making regarding family planning was m...

Various linear filters, such as mean filter, Arithmetic mean, Contra harmonic and Weiner filter are becoming increasingly common in removing Gaussian and salt and pepper noise in images. Nonlinear filters like median and Alpha Trimmed filters play avital role in eliminating impulsive noise. This paper demonstrate a comparative analysis of various popular noise suppression approaches to find the appropriate and consistent technique for denoising images. The experimental outcomes are discussed and analysed to find the overall benefits and drawbacks of each technique.

SLH-41, F-281, COKER-3113, LA-85-52-1 and H-88-8-J.69-J.70 to explore genetic effects controlling various quantitative traits. Data on major agaronomic traits including plant height, number of monopodial branches, sympodial branches, number of bolls per plant and boll weight were recorded. All the genotypes were found to be significantly different from each other for the above mentioned traits. Joint regression analysis proved the validity of the data of all traits for additive-dominance model. All the traits almost showed over dominant type of gene action while the inheritance of number of sympodial branches was of additive type with partial dominance. Over dominance suggested heterosis breeding as an appropriate tool for improvement of these traits. Cotton occupies a unique position in Pakistan's agriculture economy. Efforts on various aspects of cotton crop improveme...
