Open 1-Dissertation NEK V12 4
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Chemical Engineering DEVELOPMENT OF BIOLOGICAL PLATFORM FOR THE AUTOTROPHIC PRODUCTION OF BIOFUELS A Dissertation in Chemical Engineering by Nymul Khan 2015 Nymul Khan Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2015 The dissertation of Nymul Khan was reviewed and approved* by the following: Wayne Curtis Professor, Chemical Engineering Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Esther Gomez Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering Manish Kumar Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering John Regan Professor, Environmental Engineering Phillip E. Savage Walter L. Robb Family Endowed Chair Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT The research described herein is aimed at developing an advanced biofuel platform that has the potential to surpass the natural rate of solar energy capture and CO2 fixation. The underlying concept is to use the electricity from a renewable source, such as wind or solar, to capture CO2 via a biological agent, such as a microbe, into liquid fuels that can be used for the transportation sector. In addition to being renewable, the higher rate of energy capture by photovoltaic cells than natural photosynthesis is expected to facilitate higher rate of liquid fuel production than traditional biofuel processes. The envisioned platform is part of ARPA-E’s (Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy) Electrofuels initiative which aims at supplementing the country’s petroleum based fuel production with renewable liquid fuels that can integrate easily with the existing refining and distribution infrastructure (http://arpa- e.energy.gov/ProgramsProjects/Electrofuels.aspx). -

Although not evident This study focuses on the risk of pollen allergy due to paper during rainfall, a clear positive correlation was found between mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera L.), an Asian invasive plant patient count and pollen count. Field survey data and hotspot spatial species now common in large parts of the world. Pollen plays a key analysis of allergy patients revealed that residents of Shakerperiyan role in the pathogenesis of respiratory allergic diseases, particularly and Lok Virsa areas (Sectors H-8, I-8, I-9, G-8, G-7 and G-6 in rhinitis and asthma, and Islamabad, a major metropolitan city, is Islamabad) had more pronounced symptoms compared to residents severely affected by allergy owing to B. papyrifera pollen. Due to of other sectors. The methodology adopted used in this study can be its seasonality and other relationships with climatic variables, we used to map the distribution of similar invasive species in other used remote sensing to monitor the trend of pollen count.

Evaluation of Learning Environment in First Two Years at Wah Medical College
Pak J Physiol 2017;13(4) ORIGINAL ARTICLE EVALUATION OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN FIRST TWO YEARS AT WAH MEDICAL COLLEGE Aneeqa Rashid, Sadia Mubarak*, Sumaira Iqbal**, Muhammad Alamgir Khan*** Department of Physiology, HITEC Institute of Medical Sciences, Taxila, *Islamabad Medical and Dental College, Islamabad, **Wah Medical College, Wah Cantt, ***Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, Pakistan Background: The recent trends of assembling student friendly health professional education systems have stirred the need of continuous scientific monitoring of the teaching institutions. Current study was planned to evaluate the perception of learning environment by the medical students of Wah Medical College, Wah Cantt and to assess the effect of gender and academic year on this observation. Methods: It was a cross sectional comparative study carried out at Wah Medical College, Wah Cantt, Pakistan from Jan–Dec 2016. Data collection tool was the ‘Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure’ (DREEM) questionnaire that was given after consent to 200 students of 1st and 2nd year MBBS. Data was analysed using SPSS, and p≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of total 200 students, 163 retorted (response rate= 81.5%). According to the students the overall DREEM scores were towards positivity (total score 115.28±19.17). When the sub-scores were compared on the basis of gender discrimination we found that all the scores were equal except the ‘students perception of teaching’ which was significantly rated better (p=0.006) by the female students. Among all the sub- scores the students’ perception about the atmosphere of learning at WMC was greatest (31–38/48) which depicts an awesome atmosphere for the fresh medicos. -
