01 Jan 2018TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the security of the CPEC project in Pakistan, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and its geostrategic implications and the terrorist threat landscape from Xinjiang to Gwadar.
Abstract: This chapter discusses the security of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) flagship project in Pakistan, the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and its geostrategic implications and the terrorist threat landscape from Xinjiang to Gwadar It argues that CPEC is one of the key pillars of the BRI The peculiar attribute of CPEC is its intersection between the oversea 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) and the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) Its total length is approximately 3000 km spanning from Pakistan’s Gwadar Port to Kashgar, northwestern China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region The macro projects consist of the railway lines, roads, fibre optics, energy pipelines and industrial development zones Albeit the promises of sustainable development, since the announcement of the CPEC and its ratification the route designated under the corridor triggered much debate and controversy The major contentions regard the distribution of economic development and infrastructure projects of this mega venture within the provinces Besides violent extremism and terrorism, ethno nationalist groups are another daunting challenge for the economic corridor

TL;DR: A system to assist military personnel in improving the efficiency of mission evaluation and the main innovations of this work include the qualitative and quantitative visualization of complex information is realized in a three-pane interface.
Abstract: Mission evaluation is a new requirement for capability evaluation of the weapon system of systems (WSOS) in the era of big data, and is based on evaluating large-scale tasks with similar attributes. The use of traditional methods by military experts to evaluate large scale tasks incurs significant time cost and results in low accuracy, and is caused by a variety of factors that cause confusion. Therefore, we developed a system to assist military personnel in improving the efficiency of mission evaluation; the main innovations of our work include the qualitative and quantitative visualization of complex information is realized in a three-pane interface. We also realize the iterative and interactive evaluation modes of large-scale tasks by using the active learning method; moreover, the overall display of large-scale task evaluation results is realized using statistical graphics. In practical application, the system not only improves the users’ efficiency and accuracy scores, but also helps to achieve the recognition evaluation for the overall scoring results.

TL;DR: In this paper, two commercially available polyamide nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes (PA-NF, PA-UF) were tested to examine their capabilities in treating groundwater for drinking water resources.
Abstract: Iron and manganese present naturally in groundwater. Both metallic ions at excessive amounts normally contribute to rusty taste and reddish color to the water. Membrane technology may improve the conventional groundwater treatment method which commonly requires a large area and a lot of manpower. The present experimental work focused on membrane filtration of iron and manganese in order to study the influence of pH adjustment to the prepared artificial groundwater based on the permeate quality and membrane performances. In this study, two commercially available polyamide nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes (PA-NF, PA-UF) were tested to examine their capabilities in treating groundwater for drinking water resources. In order to achieve WHO drinking water standard, permeate quality of the artificial groundwater is considered satisfy if concentration of iron and manganese has reached 0.3 and 0.1 mg/L, respectively. Experimental results showed that pH at a range of 3-11 have significantly improved membrane performance in terms of their rejection. Rejection of iron at a feed concentration of 100 mg/L increased as pH of the feed solution increased for all tested membranes. However, the manganese rejection with a feed concentration at 50 mg/L showed various pattern of performance for each membrane. The pH of feed solution played an important role in changing the membrane surface properties and also, the characteristic of solute. This concludes that solutemembrane interaction mechanism has improved the performance of the tested membranes.

12 Nov 2020TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aim to ascertain the opinion of policy professionals working at various policy institutes in Pakistan regarding the effectiveness of 26 different anti-corruption strategies by means of a self-administered questionnaire.
Abstract: Anti-corruption efforts are required where corruption prevails and Pakistan is a developing country that is facing the menace of corruption to a considerable degree. According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) for 2019, Pakistan is ranked as 120th out of 180 countries. With this in view, this study aims to ascertain the opinion of policy professionals working at various policy institutes in Pakistan regarding the effectiveness of 26 different anti-corruption strategies by means of a self-administered
