The stability of a tunnel in rocks can be evaluated through different methods. Empirical design methods are commonly used supplemented and validated with numerical design methods to improve the stability. Each and every design method requires certain rock and rock mass parameters as input. Empirical design methods include Rock Mass Classification systems as integral part. Strength and/or stiffness parameters are frequently required for Numerical design analysis. Rock mass properties can either be determined directly or predicted, however, the direct determination is not always viable and these are generally predicted. Rock mass strength and deformability is realistically well predicted through the use of rock mass classification systems in conjunction with appropriate empirical failure criteria such as Hoek-Brown failure criterion and empirical expressions using rock mass classification systems respectively. However, the use of such relations requires right, precise and authentic input data. The thesis focuses on devising better ways and means for approximating the input parameters needed for engineering design of tunnels in rocks. The first part of this research focuses on fitting of failure criterion to laboratory data to get a suitable failure criterion for the local rock mass environment and optimize the strength parameters for numerical design purposes. The second part describes the empirical estimation of rock mass deformation modulus. The Hoek – Brown failure criterion 2002 version and its variants are fitted to full scale laboratory rock data of Kohat Tunnel as well as Diamir Basha Dam Diversion Tunnels using linear and multiple regression methods and Microsoft Excel optimization tool "Solver". Analysis shows that for majority cases/ rock types, the ―Globalized‖ variant of the Hoek – Brown failure criterion is best fit based on error of estimation. For the deformation modulus, previous equations (based on Rock Mass Rating, Q index and Geological Strength Index) are divided into 10 groups on the basis of input parameters and modeled using ―Sigmoidal‖ and ―Gaussian‖ functions in Microsoft Excel solver optimization tool. Eight new generalized equations are presented, among which, the sigmoidal function was the best. iii It is observed that the displacement values from the modeled deformation modulus (sigmoidal function based on GSI using the 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Phase2 tool) was very close to the actual displacement monitored in the field.

تانیثیت اور اردو شاعری

عربی لفظ ’تانیث‘’تانیثیت‘سے مشتق انگریزی متبادل’Feminism‘لاطینی اصطلاح ‘Femina’ کا مترادف ہے۔ معنیٰ ومفہوم تَحرِيکِ نِسواں ، نَظَرِيَہ ،حَقُوقِ نِسواں اور نِسوانِيَت کے ہیں۔عتیق اللہ رقم طراز ہیں’’تانیثیت کا موقف اُس عورت کوDeconstructکرناہے جو اپنی ذات ہی سے بے خبر نہیں تھی بلکہ اس سماجی تہذیبی منظر نامے سے بھی نا بلد تھی جس کے جبرنے اُسے مجہول حقیقت میں بدل کر رکھ دیا تھا۔‘‘(عتیق اللہ ،تعصّبات ،ایم ۔آر۔پبلی کیشنز،ص۱۱۳، نئی دہلی،۲۰۰۵)

  Each work design also influences the employee's attitude towards the task at hand. In addition, job design determines work relations between employees, between employees and superiors, types of work, and socio-economic relations. Through design work is carried out changing the content, functions and relations of work that are able to complete in accordance with the target and boss satisfaction. Job design and analysis includes; authority of the office holder, routine implementation of duties, identity of the holder, and involvement of the incumbent. Job functions include; work methods used, work coordination, responsibility, information flow, and work authority. While employment relations include joint work activities between officials and all employees in one agency. Keywords: official management, design work, design

Utilization of Industrial Waste Cheese Whey for the Biosynthesis of B-Galactosidase.

The dairy industry is associated with the production of contaminated waste water. The whey disposal remains a serious pollution problem for dairy industry, particularly in developing countries. Direct disposal of whey in the environment creates serious pollution problems, it destroys the physical and chemical structure of soil which decreases the crops yield and if discarded in water bodies, it reduces the aquatic life. The best solution to this environmental problem is the enzymatic hydrolysis of whey by using β-galactosidase which catalyses the hydrolysis of lactose (main constituent of whey) into its basic monomers, glucose and galactose. β-galactosidase can be obtained from different sources like plants, animals and microorganisms whereas bacterial β-galactosidase is generally regarded as safe. The basic aim of present research is to investigate the utilization of dairy industrial waste (cheese whey) as a substrate for the biosynthesis of β-galactosidase to convert environmental waste into useful biomaterial from a noval β-galactosidase producing bacterial isolate from Antarctica. Two hundred and thirty five isolates were obtained from five samples (ice, water and microbial mats) collected from different sites of Antarctica and screened for their ability to produce β-galactosidase by using X-gal. A total of 61 bacterial isolates which turned blue on X-gal were then cultured in R2 medium and Marine medium aseptically at 10˚C for one month. The most potent bacterial isolates were identified using a polyphasic taxonomical approach. Cells were found strictly aerobic, Gram negative, rod shaped, motile and formed creamy white, half transparent colonies. Growth occurred at 4°C to 28°C with an optimum at 20°C, with 0 – 5.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum at 0 - 1.0 %) and at pH 4.0 – 11.0 (optimum at pH 7.0 - 9.0). The major fatty acid was C18:1 ω7c. Respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The DNA G+C content was 60.7 %. The polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylmethanolamine in addition to three unidentified lipids, one unknown glycolipid, and five unidentified phospholipids. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed highest sequence similarity (98.1 %) to Pararhizobium giardinii H152T, P. herbae CCBAU 83011T, and “P. polonicum” F5.1T. In silico average nucleotide identity (ANI) and genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC) showed 81.1 % identity (ANI) and 22.6 % identity (GGDC) to the closest relative, “P. polonicum” F5.1T. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic, genomic and chemotaxonomic data, the two strains represent a novel species of the genus Pararhizobium, for which the name Pararhizobium antarcticum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NAQVI 59T LSRP00000000 (=DSMZ 103442T = LMG29675T). Strains NAQVI-58 and NAQVI-59T showed the highest enzyme production (0.21 U/ml) for strain NAQVI-58 and (0.33 U/ml) for strain NAQVI-59 with cheese whey as a substrate at pH (7), 28 ˚C and after 48 hours of incubation respectively. In this study, a new Pararhizobium sp. is discovered by using dairy industrial waste cheese whey as a substrate which is further used for the production of β-galactosidase.
