Modern day scientific progress, research and discovery is dependent on computational capability. In many fields, large-scale physical experimentation has been replaced by computational modelling and simulation. The computational approaches reduce cost through eliminating the needs for designing several physical prototypes iteratively. Moreover, the development time can be reduced through improving design maturity by building detailed…
Without a doubt, as time passed while the country was under lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everyone’s vulnerabilities. The COVID -19 pandemic has conveyed not only disease but also a slew of vulnerabilities, which dynamically change in response to policy measures. The disease toll to slow down the transmission of the disease was bourgeoned in…
The global freshwater use has increased by a factor of six over the past 100 years [1] and according to the United Nations [2] over two billion people live in countries experiencing water stress. Climate change is making matters worse. As an example, despite a massive deluge in Southern Pakistan in the summer of 2022,…
Islamabad October 24, 2022 – As many as 23 researchers from the National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) have risen to prominence this year by standing amongst the world’s Top 2% research luminaries. Four of these have also been recognised for their career-long impact. NUST has consistently made headway in its R&D pursuits, bolstering…
In order to run power plant operations smoothly, power plant faults need to be detected, located and classified quickly. For this, artificial neural network approaches are considered significant tool in related application of power system. Power plants failures can take place due to multiple factors for instance lightning strikes, damage of equipment’s at power generation…
Concrete is one of the most consumed building materials in the world. It is a composite material composed of cement, aggregate (usually sand and gravel), and water. Concrete is strong and durable, making it an ideal choice for construction. However, concrete has several drawbacks. Firstly, it is a brittle material that cannot absorb earthquake shocks,…
