Pioneers of Library Movement in Pakistan
No full textThe paper aims to describe in brief the contribution of seven leaders of Pakistan librarianship, viz. K.B. Khalifa M. Asadullah, Prof. Dr. Abdul Moid, Dr. Abdus Subuh Qasimi, Muhammad Shafi, Fazal Elahi, Khawaja Nur Elahi and S. V. Hussain. The early library developments are given for better understanding of the role of these leaders
Introducing Iqbal the Economist
No full textThe Iqbal Memorial Lecture was instituted in 1994 when the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE) celebrated the completion of a decade of steady progress. A brief announcement stated: “The Iqbal Memorial Lecture attributed to the national poet [Emphasis added], Allama Muhammad Iqbal has been included in the programme for the first time. Professor Ian M. D. Little is delivering that lecture” [Secretary’s Report (1994), p. 1472]. Iqbal, the poet and philosopher par excellence, has made incisive remarks or comments on economic and social issues in his poetry, philosophical writings, and in the course of his discourses as well as some famous letters, particularly those written to the Quaid-i-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. But these do not make Iqbal an economist. The Secretary of the PSDE was, therefore, careful in observing that the lecture commemorates our “national poet”. However, it will be of great interest to this largest national congregation of economists and other scholars concerned with development to know that the very first published book of Iqbal related neither to poetry nor philosophy, but economics. It was written in Urdu. He also taught the subject at undergraduate and Master’s level, even though he had not studied it as a student. At the Government College, Lahore, Iqbal studied English, Philosophy and Arabic for his B.A. and then completed the M.A. in Philosophy.

No full textIsotope Studies and Chemical Investigations of Tattapani hot Springs in Kotli (Kashmir, NE Pakistan): Implications on Reservoir Origin and Temperature
No full textAbstractThe present study is focused on the isotopic signatures and geochemical analyses of the geothermal field of Tattapani area in Kotli District of Kashmir (Pakistan) to understand the origin, subsurface history and reservoir temperature. The study area encompasses of complex overlapping thrust tectonics due to its close affinity to the suture zones of relatively younger ongoing collision between Indian and Eurasian plates (<55Ma). The area is located on the apex of active Balakot-Bagh Fault (Kashmir earthquake, 2005), besides other regional thrust faults in the surroundings including Riasi Thrust, Punjal Thrust, Main Boundary Thrust and the Himalaya Frontal Thrust respectively. Field observations revealed that the water discharge of the springs varies from 4.3 to 11.8 liters per second with the surface temperature from 59.2 to 60.7°C. Samples collected are analyzed for various isotopes (18O, 2H & 3H of water) and water chemistry, which synthesized that the thermal waters are slightly acidic and have low dissolved contents. Sodium and bicarbonate are dominating ions. δ18O and δ2H of all the sampled geothermal manifestations were found to be –6.54 to –6.19‰ and –41 to –37‰ respectively. Source of recharge is meteoric water (rains at higher altitude), whereas thermal waters are of immature nature with a significant component of fresh water mixing and circulation time of about 40 years. On the basis of K–Mg and Na–K–Mg thermometers, the average reservoir temperature is 140°C. In addition, geothermometer based on dissolved silica showed average reservoir temperature about 105°C

Ab-initio predictions of phase stability, electronic structure, and optical properties of (0001)-MAX surfaces in M2AC (M = Cr, Zr, Hf; A = Al, Ga)
No full textHere, we report MAX phases' surface properties, which are essential for thin-film technology due to their excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation, corrosion, and wear. The surface stability, electronic, and optical properties of 0001-surfaces in M2AC (M = Zr, Hf, Cr; A = Al, Ga) are investigated and compared with their bulk counterparts. The interplay between chemical bonding and charge distribution is discussed from electronic structure, including the Fermi surfaces. Four possible (0001)-terminated surfaces are considered by breaking M − C and M-A bonds in which cleavage energy of M − C is higher than M-A. The Cr–Al bond in Cr2AlC is stronger than other M-A bonds. The charge density of valance A-p electrons redistributes in the surface area, distinct from that of the bulk. The A- and M(C)-terminated (0001)-surfaces are the most stable and energetically favorable terminations due to lower surface energies. The optical properties of the most stable (0001)-surfaces were also investigated to understand the dielectric and photoconductive behavior in the (0001)-terminated surfaces of M2AC.This is a manuscript of an article published as Qureshi, Muhammad Waqas, Xinxin Ma, Xinghong Zhang, Guangze Tang, Ramesh Paudel, and Durga Paudyal.

Designing redundant cable-driven parallel robots for additive manufacturing using end-effector compliance index
No full textThis paper presents a methodology for optimizing cable anchor points for cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) for specific additive manufacturing tasks. Much of a CDPR's workspace is generally not used for printing tasks. The unused workspace of the CDPR can be sacrificed to gain greater control to fulfill the printing task. In this paper, the CDPR is designed for a specific task to achieve the best printing results. To find the optimum robot size, the stiffness of the end-effector and mean cable tension are analyzed. The end-effector compliance index (ECI) is proposed to assess the stiffness of the end-effector within the workspace. The ECI uses cable directions to determine the compliance of a given robot pose. From simulation results, a relation to get optimum CDPR frame size is achieved for both suspended and constrained type CDPRs. The proposed method can be used to design low-cost cable-driven robots for additive manufacturing.TÜBİTA
