The Challenge of Arbitral Awards in Pakistan

Sohaib Mukhtar 한국중재학회 2017 중재연구 Vol.27 No.1

An arbitrator in Pakistan is required to file an arbitral award in a civil court of competent jurisdiction for its recognition and enforcement if an arbitral award is domestic or before the concerned High Court if the arbitral award is international. The court of law is required to issue a decree upon submitted arbitral award if an interested party do not apply for modification or remission of an arbitral award and do not challenge it for setting it aside or for revocation of its recognition and enforcement within a prescribed time limit. The challenging process of an arbitral award can be started by the aggrieved party of an arbitration agreement at the seat of arbitration or at the place where recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award is sought. The aggrieved party to an arbitration agreement is required to challenge an arbitral award within a prescribed time limit if contracting parties have not excluded the right to challenge an arbitral award. Limitation for challenging an arbitral award in Pakistan is 30 days under article 158 of the Limitation Act 1908, starting from the date of service of notice of filling of an arbitral award before the court of law. Generally, 90 days are given for an appeal against decision of the civil court of law under section 96 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, it is therefore highly recommended that challenging time of an arbitral award should be increased from 30 to 90 days.

Overlap Frequency Domain Equalization for Wavelet OFDM

Sohaib Kiani,Sabia Baig,M. Junaid Mughal 대한전자공학회 2009 ITC-CSCC :International Technical Conference on Ci Vol.2009 No.7

Wavelet-OFDM is a promising alternative to the well established Fourier Transform based OFDM (DFT-OFDM). The Wavelet OFDM does not utilize Cyclic Prefix, due to which its symbols are no longer cicularly convolved, thereby producing Inter Block Interference, after transmission through the channel. In this paper Overlap Frequency Domain Equalizer has been used to minimize BER, due to residual Inter Block Interference for Wavelet-OFDM. Moreover, BER performance has been compared between Wavelet OFDM with Overlap-FDE, DFT-OFDM without Gaurd Interval and Overlap FDE, Conventional OFDM with Gaurd Interval and simple FDE.

Bond strength prediction of steel bars in low strength concrete by using ANN

Sohaib Ahmad,Kypros Pilakoutas,Muhammad M. Rafi,Qaiser U. Zaman 사단법인 한국계산역학회 2018 Computers and Concrete, An International Journal Vol.22 No.2

This paper presents Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models for evaluating bond strength of deformed, plain and cold formed bars in low strength concrete. The ANN models were implemented using the experimental database developed by conducting experiments in three different universities on total of 138 pullout and 108 splitting specimens under monotonic loading. The key parameters examined in the experiments are low strength concrete, bar development length, concrete cover, rebar type (deformed, cold-formed, plain) and diameter. These deficient parameters are typically found in non-engineered reinforced concrete structures of developing countries. To develop ANN bond model for each bar type, four inputs (the low strength concrete, development length, concrete cover and bar diameter) are used for training the neurons in the network. Multi- Layer-Perceptron was trained according to a back-propagation algorithm. The ANN bond model for deformed bar consists of a single hidden layer and the 9 neurons. For Tor bar and plain bars the ANN models consist of 5 and 6 neurons and a single hidden layer, respectively. The developed ANN models are capable of predicting bond strength for both pull and splitting bond failure modes. The developed ANN models have higher coefficient of determination in training, validation and testing with good prediction and generalization capacity. The comparison of experimental bond strength values with the outcomes of ANN models showed good agreement. Moreover, the ANN model predictions by varying different parameters are also presented for all bar types.

Reliable Fault Diagnosis of Rotary Machine Bearings Using a Stacked Sparse Autoencoder-Based Deep Neural Network

Sohaib, Muhammad,Kim, Jong-Myon WILEY-INTERSCIENCE 2018 SHOCK AND VIBRATION Vol.2018 No.-

<P>Due to enhanced safety, cost-effectiveness, and reliability requirements, fault diagnosis of bearings using vibration acceleration signals has been a key area of research over the past several decades. Many fault diagnosis algorithms have been developed that can efficiently classify faults under constant speed conditions. However, the performances of these traditional algorithms deteriorate with fluctuations of the shaft speed. In the past couple of years, deep learning algorithms have not only improved the classification performance in various disciplines (e.g., in image processing and natural language processing), but also reduced the complexity of feature extraction and selection processes. In this study, using complex envelope spectra and stacked sparse autoencoder- (SSAE-) based deep neural networks (DNNs), a fault diagnosis scheme is developed that can overcome fluctuations of the shaft speed. The complex envelope spectrum made the frequency components associated with each fault type vibrant, hence helping the autoencoders to learn the characteristic features from the given input signals more readily. Moreover, the implementation of SSAE-DNN for bearing fault diagnosis has avoided the need of handcrafted features that are used in traditional fault diagnosis schemes. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional fault diagnosis algorithms in terms of fault classification accuracy when tested with variable shaft speed data.</P>

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and liver secretome

Muhammad Sohaib Khan,이충호,Sang Geon Kim 대한약학회 2022 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.45 No.12

Metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids andprotein degradation occurs in the liver and contributes tothe body’s homeostasis by secreting a variety of mediators. Any imbalance in this homeostasis due to excess fatconsumption and the pathologic events accompanying lipotoxicity,autophagy dysregulation, endoplasmic reticulumstress, and insulin resistance may cause disturbances in thesecretion of the proteins from the liver and their physiologicmodifi cations and interactions with others. Since the liversecretome plays a role in the regulation of fuel metabolismand infl ammation not only in the liver per se but also inother organs, the proteins belong to the utmost targets fortreating metabolic and infl ammatory diseases (e.g., COVID-19), depending on the available and feasible approaches tocontrolling their biological eff ects. However, in this era,we still come across new liver-derived proteins but are yetunable to entirely understand the pathologic basis underlyingdisease progression. This review aims to provide anupdated overview of liver secretome biology with explanatorymechanisms with regard to the progression of metabolicand infl ammatory liver diseases.

Muhammad Sohaib,Faraz Jamil 한국축산식품학회 2017 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.37 No.3

Livestock is considered central component in agricultural sector of Pakistan, provides employment to more than 8 million families. Meat and meat products holds pivotal significance in meeting dietary requirements serving as major protein source and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Globally, consumer demand is increasing for healthy, hygienic and safe meat and meat products due to growing population, income level and food choices. As, food choices are mainly influenced by region, religion and economic level. However, religion is one of the major factor to influence the food choices. In this context, halal foods a growing trend, trade estimated to cross USD $ 3 trillion and among this, meat sector contribute about US$ 600 billion. Halal meat and allied products is requirement from Muslims but it is also accepted by non-Muslims due to safe and hygienic nature, nutritious value and superior quality. Pakistan meat industry is vibrant and has seen rigorous developments during last decade as government also showed interest to boost livestock production and processing facilities to meet increasing local and global demand. The industry has potential to grow owing to its natural animal rearing capability, muslim majority country (96% of total population), improvisation of market and consumer preference towards halal meat. Current review debates Pakistan meat industry scenario, production trend, global trade as well as future potential with respect to modernization, processing, distribution and trade. The data presented here is useful for meat producers, processors and people involved in export of Pakistani meat and meat based products.
