This study has been undertaken to investigate the determinants of stock returns in Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) using two assets pricing models the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model and Arbitrage Pricing Theory model. To test the CAPM market return is used and macroeconomic variables are used to test the APT. The macroeconomic variables include inflation, oil prices, interest rate and exchange rate. For the very purpose monthly time series data has been arranged from Jan 2010 to Dec 2014. The analytical framework contains. This work was intends to develop a eco-friendly hybrid reinforced composite material using Jute and E-glass fibers with fly ash filler material. The effect of filler materials on the static, dynamic and wear properties has been investigated. It was found that as the percentage of fly ash is increased there is considerable decrease in the tensile and flexural strength but an incremental improvement in the hardness of the material. Dynamic analysis was carried out in order find the natural frequency and mode shapes for material. Wear test were carried out at room temperature and at constant speed and time and by varying the load. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis was done on the surface of the fractured tensile specimens in order to analyze is the performance of the hybrid composite material with fly ash as filler material.
