A process model for designing performance dashboard using visualization techniques / Muhammad Nasim Bahar
No full textData visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It enables decision-makers to see data analysis presented visually, so they can observe difficult concepts or identify new patterns. With interactive visualization, we can take the concept a step further by using technology to drill down into charts and graphs for more detail, interactively changing what data see and how it is processed. With the help of data visualization, it is expected to promote creative data exploration. A performance dashboard is one of the most common use cases for data visualization, and it enables decision-makers such as executives and managers to monitor the performance of an organization at one glance. It is essential to go through a proven process model that includes all aspects of designing a performance dashboard. To date, there is a lack of systematic process to design a performance dashboard that using the right performance metrics to measure the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and selecting appropriate visualization techniques for visualizing the performance analysis in a dashboard. This research aim is to propose a new process model for designing a performance dashboard using the visualization technique. A case study was conducted to evaluate the functional suitability and usability of the proposed process model by developing a taxation performance dashboard. The evaluation results show that it is feasible to apply the proposed process model to design am effective and usable performance dashboard for analyzing and monitoring the performance of a department
Political apprenticeship and women leadership in a patriarchal society: Nasim Wali Khan’s political struggle through acquired skills
No full textThis paper addresses the critical aspects of women’s political leadership in Pashtun society. The primary questions under investigation are; whether Nasim Wali Khan acquired political leadership skills and if she did, how she utilized these skills to accomplish her political objectives? We intend to see how familial political apprenticeship as well as career progression, enabled Nasim Wali to attain and retain leadership positions successfully? We do so mostly with the help of analyzing primary data collected through in-depth interviews of Nasim Wali Khan, her family members, political workers, journalists, and academicians to comprehend to support our argument. This study highlights the qualities bestowed with and acquired by Nasim Wali Khan to attain a leadership position within a political party. The study argues that by developing her political skills, such as political acumen, eloquence, political astuteness, efficient decision making, confidence, and social astuteness, etc., Nasim Wali auspiciously engraved a political constituency in an otherwise patriarchal Pukhtun population. In such a way the paper explains the critical odyssey of Nasim Wali Khan in the uncertain sphere of politics

Solution of Linear and Non-Linear Boundary Value Problems Using Population-Distributed Parallel Differential Evolution
No full textCases where the derivative of a boundary value problem does not exist or is constantly changing, traditional derivative can easily get stuck in the local optima or does not factually represent a constantly changing solution. Hence the need for evolutionary algorithms becomes evident. However, evolutionary algorithms are compute-intensive since they scan the entire solution space for an optimal solution. Larger populations and smaller step sizes allow for improved quality solution but results in an increase in the complexity of the optimization process. In this research a population-distributed implementation for differential evolution algorithm is presented for solving systems of 2 nd -order, 2-point boundary value problems (BVPs). In this technique, the system is formulated as an optimization problem by the direct minimization of the overall individual residual error subject to the given constraint boundary conditions and is then solved using differential evolution in the sense that each of the derivatives is replaced by an appropriate difference quotient approximation. Four benchmark BVPs are solved using the proposed parallel framework for differential evolution to observe the speedup in the execution time. Meanwhile, the statistical analysis is provided to discover the effect of parametric changes such as an increase in population individuals and nodes representing features on the quality and behavior of the solutions found by differential evolution. The numerical results demonstrate that the algorithm is quite accurate and efficient for solving 2 nd -order, 2-point BVPs
Microbial β-Glucosidases: screening, characterization, cloning and applications
No full textCellulose is the most abundant biomaterial in the biosphere and the major component of plant biomass.
Cellulase is an enzymatic system required for conversion of renewable cellulose biomass into free sugar for
subsequent use in different applications. Cellulase system mainly consists of three individual enzymes namely:
endoglucanase, exoglucanase and β-glucosidases. β-Glucosidases are ubiquitous enzymes found in all living
organisms with great biological significance. β-Glucosidases have also tremendous biotechnological applications
such as biofuel production, beverage industry, food industry, cassava detoxification and oligosaccharides synthesis.
Microbial β-glucosidases are preferred for industrial uses because of robust activity and novel properties exhibited
by them. This review aims at describing the various biochemical methods used for screening and evaluating
β-glucosidases activity from microbial sources. Subsequently, it generally highlights techniques used for purification
of β-glucosidases. It then elaborates various biochemical and molecular properties of this valuable enzyme such as
pH and temperature optima, glucose tolerance, substrate specificity, molecular weight, and multiplicity. Furthermore,
it describes molecular cloning and expression of bacterial, fungal and metagenomic β-glucosidases. Finally, it
highlights the potential biotechnological applications of β-glucosidases

With increasing concerns over environmental protection, improvement in fertilizer use efficiencies has become a prime goal in global agriculture system. Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important nutrients, and strategies are required to optimize its use in important arable crops like cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) that has great significance. Sustainable P use in crop production could significantly avoid environmental hazards resulting from over-P fertilization. Crop growth modeling has emerged as an effective tool to assess and predict the optimal nutrient requirements for different crops. In present study, Decision Support System for Agro-technology Transfer (DSSAT) sub-model CSM-CROPGRO- Cotton-P was evaluated to estimate the observed and simulated P use in two cotton cultivars grown at three P application rates under the semi-arid climate of southern Punjab, Pakistan. The results revealed that both the cultivars performed best at medium rate of P application (57 kg ha(-1)) in terms of days to anthesis, days to maturity, seed cotton yield, total dry matter production, and harvest index during 2013 and 2014. Cultivar FH-142 performed better than MNH-886 in terms of different yield components. There was a good agreement between observed and simulated days to anthesis (0 to 1 day), days to maturity (0 to 2 days), seed cotton yield, total dry matter, and harvest index with an error of -4.4 to 15%, 12-7.5%, and 13-9.5% in MNH-886 and for FH-142, 4-16%, 19-11%, and 16-8.3% for growing years 2013 and 2014, respectively. CROPGRO-Cotton-P would be a useful tool to forecast cotton yield under different levels of P in cotton production system of the semi-arid climate of Southern Punjab.Government of Australia [4915_2015]; Higher Education Commission (HEC) of PakistanHigher Education Commission of PakistanThe first author is grateful to the International Global Change Institute (IGCI) Hamilton, New Zealand, for providing the software (SimCLIM2013) and the required climatic dataset for future projections with for southern Punjab, Pakistan.
