Five carnation cultivars (‘Grand Salam’, ‘Nelson’, ‘Kaly’, ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Tempo’) were evaluated with respect to growth, yield and quality characteristics under lath house conditions at Kala Shah Kaku Research Station, Directorate of Floriculture, Lahore during 2011. Among the cultivars studied, maximum plant height was recorded in carnation cultivar ‘Grand Salam’ (78.66 cm) closely followed...

We use generating functions to express orthogonality relations in the form of q-beta integrals. The integrand of such a q-beta integral is then used as a weight function for a new set of orthogonal or biorthogonal functions. This method is applied to the continuous q-Hermite polynomials, the Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials, and the polynomials of Szegő and leads naturally to the Al-Salam-Chihara p...

We study the monotonicity with respect to a parameter of zeros of orthogonal polynomials. Our method uses the tridiagonal (Jacobi) matrices arising from the three-term recurrence relation for the polynomials. We obtain new results on monotonicity of zeros of associated Laguerre, Al-Salam-Carlitz, Meixner and PoJlaczek polynomials. We also derive inequalities for the zeros of the Al-Salam-Carlit...

We present a new type of spherically symmetric monopole and dyon solutions with the magnetic charge 4π/e in the standard Weinberg-Salam model. The monopole (and dyon) could be interpreted as a non-trivial hybrid between the abelian Dirac monopole and non-abelian ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopole (with an electric charge). We discuss the possible physical implications of the electroweak dyon. Typeset u...

An M/string-theory origin for the six-dimensional Salam-Sezgin chiral gauged super-gravity is obtained, by embedding it as a consistent Pauli-type reduction of type I or het-erotic supergravity on the non-compact hyperboloid H 2,2. We can also obtain embeddings of larger, non-chiral, gauged supergravities in six dimensions, whose consistent truncation yields the Salam-Sezgin theory. The lift of...
