The European laboratory for nuclear research, (CERN) is the world''s largest par- ticle physics laboratory, having complex particle accelerators and detectors. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the two general purpose detectors in- stalled at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). After the discovery of Higgs Boson at the LHC in 2012, upgrade intended towards high luminosity in order tond the new particle which is believed to greatly extend the potential to study the properties of the Higgs Boson. High Luminosity LHC (HL LHC) conditions will severely a ect the performance of the CMS muon system and other detectors, especially in the very forward region where the magneticeld is low and the particle rate is high. Research and development topics/projects proposed by the CMS GEM Collabora- tion aimed to design, develop and test GE1/1 detectors, on-odetector electronic hardware architectures and detector control system (DCS), most suited to muon end-caps upgrade. Therefore, these three topics/projects were explored during this research and development work. First project included assembly and testing of the small and large GE1/1 detec- tors. The CMS high eta region requirements for muon detector were demanding in terms of particle rates and integrated charges. Research work reported in literature indicated that the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) has relatively better capability to handle the huge particle rates. Originally it consisted of a thin composite sheet with two copper layers separated by a thin insulator and perforated by a regular matrix of holes. After extensive research and experimentation it was found out that the gain of existing GEM detector can be improved with the integration of three GEM foils in a single detector later named as Triple GEM. After several tests with small (10 X 10 cm2) and large sizes (9 X (22 - 44.5) cm2) GEM detector''s e ciency of 98% and 9 ns time resolution were achieved. For bulk production of GEM detectors, procedures and quality control steps were de ned, including gain uniformity, time resolution, spatial resolution and detector e ciency. This particular research and development work led to an on-odetector electronic hard- ware architectures development with the performance expected by the CMS GEM readout system that included timing resolution and e ciency. Sharing of data between DAQ and Detector Control System (DCS) is carried out using the Cross DAQ (xDAQ) software. The third project was aimed to develop new DCS for GE1/1 detectors. The cor- rect and safe operation of the GEM system required a sophisticated and powerful online DCS system. The GEM DCS is to monitor the detector conditions and per- formance, control and monitor all subsystems related to GEM and their electronics and store all the information in a dedicated database, called Conditional database. Therefore, the GEM DCS system has to assure the safe and correct operation of the sub-detectors during all CMS life time (more than 10 year), detect abnormal and harmful conditions and take corrective measures and automatic actions to minimize consequential damages. After an extensive research and development work a new DCS system was developed, connected with GEM detector and tested in the GEM assembly and quality assurance labs. The results obtained were saved in the conditional database for future analysis. Major challenges were to integrate di erent parts with each other and to put them in general CMS control system and linking the whole assembly to data acquisition framework. Finally, the entire research and development work led to the successful completion of design, development and testing of Triple GEM Detector''s Electronics and its Control System for CMS forward muon upgrade.

دشتِ افسوس میں اک پھول کھلا ہو جیسے

دشتِ افسوس میں اک پھول کھلا ہو جیسے
تو خزاں زاد شجر سے ہی ملا ہو جیسے

ایک مدت سے بیابانی تھی دل میں میرے
تو مرے غم مرے ہر دکھ کا صلہ ہو جیسے

روح مجروح تھی اور ادھڑے تھے ٹانکے دل کے
تیرے آنے سے ہر اک زخم سلا ہو جیسے

تم سے بچھڑیں تو کسی طور بھی ہم جی نہ سکیں
سانس تو سانس ہے تم دل کی جلا ہو جیسے

تم فضاؔ چھائی ہو اک ابرِ کرم کی صورت
ہم نہ مل پائے یہی خود سے گلہ ہو جیسے

Macroeconomic Instability and Terrorism Nexus: Empirical Evidence in Case of Pakistan

The current study is an attempt to analyze the association between macroeconomic instability and terrorism in Pakistan over the period of 1970 to 2020. Six important variables are taken as a proxy to measure macroeconomic instability which includes external debt, budget deficit, trade deficit, real effective exchange rate (REER), inflation and unemployment. Results indicate that there exists a long run cointegration relationship between the indictors of macroeconomic instability and terrorism. FMOLS is employed to obtain the estimates and it reveals that budget deficit and external debt is negatively associated with terrorism. It indicates that government expenditures on different project such as infrastructure create economic opportunities, therefore, reduces terrorism. Furthermore, welfare programmes also improve the performance of socioeconomic variables that translates into harmonized environment which lessens violence. The variable of trade deficit, inflation and unemployment has positive impact on terrorism while REER is insignificant. In context of trade deficit, higher imports results in job loss of domestic industries, hence, it hits the vulnerable groups. Therefore, the opportunity cost of life of these groups reduces and it increases the probability to become a part of terrorist activities. Inflation also pushes the vulnerable groups in poverty by reduces the purchasing power and unemployed individuals are also easy target to get involve themselves in acts of aggression. This study also constructs the macroeconomic instability index including the six variables through principal component analysis (PCA). Results of this model show that macroeconomic instability index and GDP has positive effect on terrorism. In case of GDP, the plausible reason could be uneven income distribution that increases terrorist activities. For the policy implications, government need to divert the resources from non-productive to productive uses through the investment in such projects which has direct and indirect impact on the welfare. In this way deprived group will enjoy economic perks and engage themselves in productive activities rather than becoming a helping hand in terrorism.

Biological Processing of Agro Industrial Waste Corn Stover for Induced Production of Phytase by Schizophylum Commune and its Practical Applications

Phytase is an industrial important enzyme which has the ability to breakdown the phytic acid into myo-inositol and inorganic phosphate. In this regard, present research was designed to produce phytase enzyme from cost effective and abundant source like corn stover as a solid substrate in the presence of fungus Schizophyllum commune. Furthermore, the phytase was produced and optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM) using different factors such as temperature (25, 35, 45?C), pH (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), time of incubation (1, 3, 5, 7 days), moisture level (10, 30, 50, 70%), nitrogen level (0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.183g) and inoculum size (1, 2, 3.5, 5, 7.049ml). The maximum phytase activity (498.98U/mL) was recorded with optimized conditions like temperature 45?C, pH 6, time of incubation 1 day, moisture level 70%, nitrogen level 1.5g and inoculum size 5mL. In addition to that enzyme was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and gel filtration chromatography. For ammonium sulphate precipitation salt range was kept from 20% to 90%. Maximum precipitation of phytase was observed at 50%. Dialysis of protein was done in buffer of pH 6 for 6 hours altering buffer after time interval of two hours. For further purification, column chromatography with Sephadex G-100 was used and out of 32 elutions, no.17 elution showed maximum absorbance on spectrophotometer at 820nm. Besides that, characterization of crude enzyme for optimum temperature and pH was done. Range of pH for characterization was 4-8 and temperature range was 25-50?C. Vmax and Km values were determined by reciprocal graphs. To get the Vmax and Km values, substrate concentration range was kept 0.25-1.25mL. As a result of characterization the phytase was observed with more activity at pH 5 and temperature 45?C. The Km and Vmax values for phytase were recorded 0.25U/mL and 250 U/mL respectively. Finally, the phytase was used to check its effect on fluffing of bread. The bread was fluffed upto3cm against control 2.5cm and increase in length was observed upto15cm against the control 12.3cm.
