Ziad (SQU) Got appointed in KFUPM Saudi Arabia) Science Students Advising (2004 – To date) Advising to students at SQU about academic matters is an integral part of university teaching and learning. In the College of Science, the advising is done primarily for pre major students. This involves a great effort because students are spread over different disciplines in the College. I have been advising around 70 pre-major students of College of Science. All curriculum, timetabling and choice of courses related advising and help to the students has been my responsibility. I believe I have performed my advising duties to great benefit of the students. Coordination of Courses Teaching management has a great significance in the quality teaching and learning. It becomes more important and effective in case of multi-section courses. My main contribution has been coordination of senior level courses as well as multi-section courses having large student registration. I coordinated MATH6011: Topics in Mathematical Methods, MATH5574: Transform Methods, MATH6013: Theory of Ordinary Equations (three times), MATH4474: Introduction to Partial Differential Equations (five times), MATH4174: Differential Equations and Applications for Engineers (eight times) and MATH3171: Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus for Engineers (three times). As a coordinator of multi-section courses (MATH4174 and MATH3171): I had to manage courses of more than 300 registrations. The main duties in this capacity were: (i) preparing the course outline; (ii) organizing course team meetings; (iii) conducting exams in collaboration with course team; (iv) preparing the final results. My coordination went very well. The colleagues as well as students appreciated my efforts. I believe the performance of students in these courses has improved during my coordination. I have employed the conventional teaching as well as IT enabled services through MOODLE

Present disposal designs and concepts are ana- lyzed on a scientific basis and modifications to existing designs are proposed from the perspective of environmental safety. A new concept of a chemical heat sink is introduced for the removal of heat emitted due to radioactive decay in the spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste, and thermal spikes produced by radiation in containment materi- als. Mainly, UO2 and metallic U are used as fuels in nuclear reactors. Spent nuclear fuel contains fission products and transuranium elements which would remain radioactive for 104 to 108 years. Essential concepts and engineering strate- gies for spent nuclear fuel disposal are described. Conceptual designs are described and discussed considering the long-term radiation and thermal activity of spent nuclear fuel. Notions of physical and chemical barriers to contain nu- clear waste are highlighted. A timeframe for nuclear waste disposal is proposed and time-line nuclear waste disposal plan or policy is described and discussed.

Though each and every endeavour at NUST reflects rational exuberance for making a difference, the successful culmination of first ever Prime Minister’s Entrepreneurial Challenge in October was a great achievement. The event, to be held annually under the direct support of the government stakeholders including MoST and HEC, kindles hope for economic resurrection of the country through the promotion of entrepreneurial culture. At a time of sheer financial meltdown, NUST has been a vibrant force in pursuing HEC’s vision of attaining prosperity through building knowledge-based economy; the initiative EDITORIAL of business plan competition being a glaring example. In keeping with the tradition of bringing you latest university news, this edition of NUSTNEWS covers a wide range of NUST activities undertaken by faculty, students and staff. I deem it appropriate to acknowledge here the efforts of our editorial staff, which leaves no stone unturned in preparing a comprehensive newsletter for all of our dear readers.

  • Some Exact Solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell Field Equations in Spherical Geometry
    Some Exact Solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell Field Equations in Spherical Geometry by Ayesha Mahmood Regn. No. NUST201390124TPSNS7113S A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Supervised by Prof. Azad Akhter Siddiqui Department of Mathematics School of Natural Sciences National University of Sciences and Technology Islamabad, Pakistan August, 2019 Dedicated to my sweet little daughter Hareem Fatima and my husband Muhammad Younis. Abstract In this thesis, the aim is to present some new classes of non–static and static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell field equations representing compact objects with negative pressure. Throughout this thesis the space–time geometry is spherical, the radial pressure is negative, and the matter density equals the negative value of the radial pressure (either it is considered or it comes out as a con- sequence of the calculations). Several non–static solutions are found by taking an ansatz for the components of the metric tensor and on the square of electric field intensity. The solutions are shown to satisfy physical boundary conditions associated with the exact solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell field equations. Due to negative pressure, these solutions can model physical systems such as expanding compact ob- jects containing negative pressure. Petrov and Segre´ classifications that these obtained solutions admit are also discussed in detail. Two static solutions of the field equations are also obtained with the ansatz similar to that for the non–static cases in order to have a look how the solutions behave for these kind of ansatz in static geometry.
