The Medium Term Development Frame Work (MTDF) 2005-10 by Planning Commission Government of Pakistan states the policy for power sector in which it puts a greater emphasis on nuclear power resources by increasing its share from currently 425 MW to 8800MW by 2030. With the increase of nuclear share in the overall national energy mix, a corresponding environmental impact and nuclear safety analysis are equally important. These are usually taken care of by Primary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) of a proposed nuclear power plant. The PSAR of any proposed nuclear power plant involves the assessment of a hypothetical accidental release of radionuclides in the atmosphere as set forth by US-NRC and PNRA such as those given as criteria for preparation and evaluation of radiological emergency plans and preparedness (10CFR100, PAK/910). Modeling atmospheric dispersion (both transport and diffusion) is the first step of such assessments. The objective of this work is to determine a more precise modeling methodology that can better predict the radiological consequences in terms of radionuclide concentration and doses compared to Gaussian dispersion approach that is based on assumptions such as uniform turbulence, flat topography and non-variant wind speed with time and space. The research goal was achieved by developing two broad strategies on the basis of Lagrangian approach. The first strategy is an effort to provide a simple answer to the complex problem. This methodology makes use of empirical parameterization of meteorology which serves as input for dispersion calculations by Lagrangian Stochastic Particle Model (LSPM). But the beauty of approach is its capability to capture complex atmospheric phenomenon like wind directional shear. This approach was used to study hypothetical accidental release of radionuclides in nocturnal atmosphere which generates maximum wind directional shear. The results of dispersion in terms of dispersion coefficients were in good comparison with that of experimental findings in the available literature. The resulting ground level concentrations of radio-nuclides and radiological dose contours were also compared with those based on approach analogous to Gaussian Plume Model (GPM). The exercise proved that how misleading results would be if we ignore wind directional shear in stable atmosphere. The second approach is based on a state of the art solution. It involves the coupling of an Eulerian meteorological model (RAMS) with LSPM. The meteorological model is responsible to provide meteorological input to LSPM at each grid point and at each time step. This computational technique was used to simulate a hypothetical accident at a proposed site for Nuclear Power Plant. The meteorological output of the modeling system was compared with observed values. The comparison proved the efficacy and reliance of the approach. This computationally intensive but effective strategy is quite capable of supporting a real time decision making system for tackling nuclear emergency.

مذہبی یہودی اس بات پر یقین رکھتے ہیں کہ ان کی رہنمائی کے لیے خدا نے متعدد کتابیں نازل کیں۔ یہ کتب خدا کے الفاظ ہیں جو مختلف ادوار میں مختلف انبیا و رسل پر نازل ہوئے۔ چنانچہ وہ ان کتب کو یہودی مذہب کی بنیاد مانتے ہیں۔ یہودیوں کے تمام فرقے ان کتب کی عزت کرتے ہیں، تاہم معنی اخذ کرنے اور تشریحات میں دیگر مذاہب کے پیروکاروں کی طرح ان میں بھی اختلاف پایا جاتا ہے جو مذہبی نقطہ نظر سے کافی اہمیت کا حامل ہے

 

 دریائے نیل کے کنارے اگنے والے نرسل کی طرح کے پودے سے بنائے گئے کاغذ جسے پیپرس/پپائرس/قرطاس مصری کہا جاتا ہے یا جانوروں کی چمڑی سے بنے کاغذ پر انہیں مختلف ادوار میں مختلف لوگوں نے لکھا۔ ہاتھ سے لکھی جانے والی ان کتب میں کاتبین نئے مشمولات بھی شامل کرتے رہے، مثلاً "کتابِ یسعیاہ" چونکہ تین مختلف ادوار سے متعلق ہے اس لیے کہا جاتا ہے کہ اسے تین مختلف لوگوں نے لکھا ہے۔ زیادہ تر محققین کا خیال ہے کہ تقریبا 400 قبل مسیح تک ان کتب کی تکمیل ہوتی رہی ہے۔[1] ان میں سے بیشتر کتب کی زبان عبرانی ہے جبکہ کچھ کتابیں آرامی زبان میں بھی لکھی گئیں ہیں۔ آرامی ذخیرہ الفاظ میں عبرانی سے ملتی جلتی ہے لیکن گرائمر اور لغوی اعتبار سے مختلف ہے۔۔ جلاوطنی سے پہلے تک یہ کتب...

التّناص الدّيني والأدبي في شعر ابن اللّبانة الدّاني (ت 507 هـ) القرآن الكريم والشّعر القديم أنموذجان

The focus of this research is on addressing the theme of intertextuality in the Andalusian poetry of Ibn al-Labbanah al-Dani, and on addressing its manifestations and how the poet benefited from the Quranic verses. In view of what the Holy Qur'an offers to the creator of the broad linguistic potential, as well as the ancient Arab poetic heritage, rich in high poetic images and meanings in both the expressive and aesthetic aspects. The research concludes that our poet was always acquainted with the miraculous Qur’anic text, and with constant contact with previous poetic texts.

Validation of the Iief - 5 Questionnaire in a Clinic Population at Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi

Background: Men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are at risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) and other co - morbidities. The clinical assessment of ED is unreliable and the International Index of Erectile Function – 5 (IIEF – 5) a widely used tool is not validated in our setting. We aimed to validate the IIEF – 5 as a screening tool for ED in men with LUTS visiting the outpatient services. Methodology: In the study, 99 men above 40 years with LUTS attending the urology clinics were consecutively enrolled, administered with the IIEF – 5 and assigned an ED status. Socio – demographic data and risk factors were captured in a separate questionnaire. A blinded urologist made an independent clinical assessment of ED following this. Results: In this study involving 99 men with LUTS, 45.5% had mild ED, 24.2% had no ED, 17.2% had mild-moderate ED, while 13.1% had moderate ED based on IIEF – 5 score. In comparison, 84.8% had no ED and 15.2% had ED based on clinical assessment. The questionnaire items were very correlated as determined by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.920. Determination of ceiling and floor effects was based on a cutoff of at least 15% of patients obtaining the least points of 5/25 for the floor effect or best points of 25/25 for the ceiling effect. 7.1% of patients scored 25/25 and none scored 5/25 hence no ceiling or floor effect was observed. The area under the curve 0.884 (p = 0.000002) demonstrated good diagnostic performance with favourable sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: For men above 40 years with LUTS, the IIEF-5 is a valid and reliable tool to screen for ED. These results, taken with results from previous validation studies of the IIEF – 5 suggest that it should complement clinical assessment of ED.
