As patrons and editors, I and Dr. Mirza had to work on few very vital issues. First and foremost concern was that it should not be looked upon an isolated Indo-Pak venture! Though in the first five years, 2/3rd of the contributions are from these two neighboring countries, the other 1/3rd valuable share comes from all parts of the globe (Table 1 and Fig. 1). We have an international reach now. ...

We study pullbacks of modular forms of weight 1 from the modular curve X(4) to the modular curve X(4p), where p is an odd prime. We find the extent to which such modular forms separate points on X(4p). Our main result is that these modular forms give rise to a morphism F from the quotient of X(4p) by a certain involution ι to projective space, such that F is a projective embedding of X(4p)/ι aw...

Our work is based on the premise that analysis of the connections exploited by a recommender algorithm can provide insight into the algorithm that could be useful to predict its performance in a fielded system. We use the jumping connections model defined by Mirza et al. [6], which describes the recommendation process in terms of graphs. Here we discuss our work that has come out of trying to u...

Imam Abu Jaafar at-Thabari, may Allah have mercy on him, is the only well-known reference in study of interpretation bil Ma'tsur because his ability to interpret Qur'an, guided mainly by good narrations prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), sahaba (may pleased with tabiin, and tabi' so that scholars from generations made at-Thabari supreme teacher Mufassir. This qualitative research seeks bette...
