The current study was directed to investigate the effect of temperature and humidity on insect pest complex of cotton. This study was carried out on the farmer field of a farmer of MouzaMehraywala tehsil and district Rajanpur southern part of the Punjab, Pakistan (29.1044° N, 70.3301° E) in the month of May, 2019 to November 2019. The climatic conditions of the study site were; a Rajanpur lie on 96m above sea level Rajanpur has a desert climate. During the year, there is virtually no rainfall. The average temperature in Rajanpur is 26.0°C | 78.8°F. Precipitation here is about 205 mm / 8.1 inch per year. Our results indicate that’s the correlation of temperature (minimum and maximum), humidity (minimum and maximum), rainfall and weather condition (clear or cloud), it is clear that except temperature there is a positive correlation of jassid population. While among the relation of jassid with different factor there is very weak relation with jassid population regarding temperature (-0.001), the relation of humidity, rainfall and sky condition with jassid population is positive and moderate (0.520, 0.668 & 0.575 respectively), while the relation of jassid population among these factor is significant except temperature. The results indicate that’s the correlation of temperature, humidity, rainfall and weather condition, it is clear that there is positive correlation of thrips population. While among the relation of thrips with different factor there is very weak relation of thrips population with temperature (.103), the relation of humidity, rainfall and sky condition with thrips population is positive and moderate (.515.751& .577 respectively), while the relation thrips population among these factor is significant except temperature. The results indicate that’s correlation of temperature, humidity, rainfall and weather condition, it is clear that there is positive correlation of Whitefly population. While among the relation of Whitefly with different factors there is very moderate relation of Whitefly population with temperature (.076), the relation of humidity, rainfall and sky condition with Whitefly population is negative and moderate (-.051.-.368 & -.559 respectively), while the relation Whitefly population among these factor is significant except temperature.

Weeds are important components of the agroecosystems due to their role as primary producers within the farming systems, yet they are considered as major constraints to crop production. A phytosociological study was conducted to assess the composition and spatial distribution of existing weed species under the influence of various edaphic factors in the 15 wheat fields. Quadrat method was applied and different phytosociological attributes including abundance, density, and frequency were estimated by randomly laying down 10 square-shaped quadrats of size 1m² in each wheat field. A total of 34 weed species belonging to 17 families and 30 genera were explored from 150 quadrats. Fabaceae and Asteraceae were ubiquitous plant families. Various edaphic factors such as; soil texture, electrical conductivity, soil pH, total dissolved solids, nitrogen, calcium carbonate, organic matter, NaCl, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, and zinc were determined. Pearson’s correlation was employed to correlate weeds and the potential edaphic variables. The results depicted that most of these weed pairs’ associations correlated positively. Simultaneously, the abundant weed species including Trifolium repens, Coronopus didymus, and Urtica dioica showed a positive correlation with most of the investigated ecological variables.

We report here a novel comparative study on the structural, morphological, FTIR, optical and photoluminescence (PL) of Zn1-xRExO nanoparticles with RE = Y, La and x (0.00 < x < 0.20). Although the wurtzite structure of x = 0.00, 0.035 samples is free from any secondary lines, some unknown lines could be recorded for x > 0.1 samples. By increasing x up to 0.20, lattice parameters, Zn-O bond lengths, porosity, crystallite size Dhkl, lattice strain and residual stress are increased, but they are higher for a-samples than Y. TEM micrographs of pure and x = 0.10 doped samples consist of nanoparticle agglomerations of irregular grains in different shapes and sizes. The grain sizes (DTEM) obtained from TEM histographs are 180, 330, 460 nm for the pure, Y and La samples, respectively. The addition of RE to ZnO generally shifts FTIR absorption peaks, Debye temperature, and elastic and rigid modulus to higher values, but the shift is higher for La samples than Y. Although the excition energy Ex is almost the same for all samples, the energy gap Eg was increased as x increases to 0.20, but it is higher for La samples than Y. Furthermore, the dielectric lattice constant ЄL, density of charge carriers N and electrical conductivity σele are increased by increasing x to 0.10, followed by a decrease at 0.20. The opposite behavior is true for the interatomic spacing R, dielectric loss, and optical conductivity σopt. The PL intensity shows four continuous well-known peaks visible emissions of near UV, blue, green and red, respectively. Although they are in the same position, their intensities decrease as x increases to 0.20. Interestingly, the intensity of blue emission is greater than that of near UV, such that  [(Iblue/IUV)] > 1]. Moreover, there is another lowest intensity IR emission peak centered at 824 nm (~ 1.507 eV) is obtained for x > 0.10 doped samples. These results are explained in terms of the difference of ionic radii, valence states and generated blocked states between ZnO and RE ions. We strongly recommend the RE doped samples for the applications of optoelectronic and high-power operating devices. To our knowledge, the present systematic investigation probably has never been reported elsewhere, which highlights the present investigation.

We propose to define the Horn’s double hypergeometric functions H3 and H4 of matrix arguments and deduce some integral representations for these two functions.

(Retrieved from the University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy, http://hdl.handle.net/11299/3955)) of the Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions HA and HB of matrix arguments, we further establish a number of integral representations for these two Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions, which generalize some of the recent results of Choi, Hasanov and Turaev (Choi, Junesang, Hasanov,Anvar and Turaev, Mamasali, Integral representations for Srivastava’s hypergeometric function HB, J. Korean Soc. Math. Educ. Ser. B: Pure Appl. Math., Vol. 19, No. 2 (May 2012), (2012), 137–145, http://dx.doi.org/10.7468/jksmeb.2012.19.2.137; Choi, Junesang, Hasanov, Anvar and Turaev, Mamasali, Integral representations for Srivastava’s hypergeometric function HA, Honam Mathematical J., Vol. 34, No. 1, (2012), 113–124: http://dx.doi.org/10.5831/HMJ.2012.34.1.113; Choi, Junesang, Hasanov, Anvar and Turaev, Mamasali, Decomposition formulas and integral representations for some Exton hypergeometric functions, Journal of the Chungcheong Mathematical Society., Vol. 24, No. 4 (December 2011), (2011), 745–758) for these two of the Horn’s double and the Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions. For proving our results for these functions of matrix arguments we invoke the Mathai’s matrix transform technique for real symmetric positive definite matrices as arguments. We conclude by stating the corresponding parallel results for these Horn’s double and the Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions, when their argument matrices are complex Hermitian positive definite, with the remark that these parallel results can be easily proved by following our given lines of proofs and by employing the corresponding known results available in the literature.

In this paper, we investigate the necessary and sufficient conditions for a composition operator Cφ to be bounded and compact from B α ω to QK,ω(p, q). Moreover, the necessary and sufficient condition for Cφ from the Dirichlet space D to the space QK,ω(p, q) to be compact is also given in terms of the map φ.

The main objective of this work is to present some important results and formulas in the theory of Humbert matrix functions by using the concepts of matrix functional calculus. We define Humbert matrix functions assuming that not all the matrices involved are commuting. We show that these two variable Humbert matrix functions follow naturally as confluent cases of Appell matrix functions. We determine their regions of convergence, integral representations, transformation formulas, summation formulas, contiguous relations and matrix differential equations satisfied by them.

Our goal in this article is to characterize the boundedness and the compactness of the product of the superposition operator followed by the differentiation operator DSϕ from the H∞ space to the Zygmund space. Moreover, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the DSϕ operator from the H∞ space to the Zygmund space to be bounded and compact.

We define the Exton’s triple hypergeometric function X2 of matrix arguments and establish some integral representations for this function which generalize the corresponding results of Choi, Hasanov and Turaev (Choi, Junesang, Hasanov, Anvar and Turaev, Mamasali, Certain integral representations of Euler type for the Exton function X2, J. Korean Soc. Math. Educ. Ser. B: Pure Appl. Math., 17(4), (2010), 347–354) for the matrix arguments case.

n this paper, we establish some fixed point results for αqsp -admissible mappings embedded in L-simulation functions in the context of b-metric-like spaces. As an application, we discuss the existence of a unique solution for fractional hybrid differential equation with multipoint boundary conditions via Caputo fractional derivative of order 1 < α ≤ 2. Some examples and corollaries are also considered to illustrate the obtained results.
