Way forward in meeting energy challenges in Pakistan

In this review the energy potential of Pakistan from hydro, coal, wind, solar and nuclear sources has been discussed. The new projects that are being commissioned on coal, wind, solar, hydel and nuclear-based technologies have also been mentioned. The review has also explored the future prospects of the country’s energy requirements. Pakistan has potential to produce 100,000?MW of electricity from Thar coal for 20 years, 56,000?MW of hydroelectricity, 150,000?MW of wind energy and ～50,000?MW from solar sources. The coal-fired power generation is expected to 11,500?MW in period 2017–2019. The country is moving in the right direction to cater its energy needs. However, there is a need to find local and foreign investment in the country to meet high energy demands in the country in future.

The Power of the Inside Activist: Understanding Policy Change by Empowering the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF)

This article contributes to an understanding of policy change. Exploring a local land planning case, it investigates how an environmental advocacy coalition effectively challenged road and housing plans, with the result that an area was instead developed into a nature reserve. In the course of the article, the value and practical effectiveness of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) is examined and developed with the help of two central concepts—the “value network” and “inside activist”. The outcome of the case is explained by the powerful influence of a value network of ornithologists, with particular inside activists of that network playing important roles in presenting a challenge to development of the area. Instead of trying to build an abstract theory of the ACF, the article argues the need to develop the ACF as a framework, opening it up to insights from policy network and social constructionist research as well as from practical processes.     

Solar stills for production of distilled water

Solar stills have been designed to produce water for use in teaching and research laboratories. Various designs and configurations have been constructed and tested over the past 10 years. The original double-surfaced cascade stills (stills A and B) were constructed in aluminium and were rather expensive. Later models termed Series D and E were of galvanised mild steel with stainless steel distillate drains and safety overflow drains. These galvanised steel units suffered from severe corrosion after a few years of operation. The latest design series F, is built in aluminium with stainless steel distillate drains and automatic feed valves. All of the stills produce very pure distilled water (conductance ～1.5 × 10^?6 Ω^?1 cm^?1; pH 6.8–7.4) at a cost which is below that of conventional electrically heated stills.

埋置效应对核岛结构地震反应的影响研究

在二代核电站和三代核电厂的设计中,为了获得较好的抗震性能和稳定性,核岛结构的一部分埋置在地面以下,即核岛存在一定的埋置效应。对于这种埋置结构的抗震分析,一般常用不埋置假定来定义模型的边界条件。本文的主要目的是研究考虑埋置效应对于抗震分析结果的影响。通过对比分析核岛埋置模型和不埋置模型的地震反应可以发现:考虑埋置效应会明显降低结构的反应,不考虑埋置效应偏于安全。
