Pakistan has a reputable Tanning industry with abundant supply of leather products. Pakistan Bureau of
statistics ranked it as second largest export-oriented industry after textiles. It is fast growing industry in terms of
qualitative, economy and export.

Objective:

The major challenge faced by this industry is the disposal of solid and liquid waste; generated during tanning
process. The solid wastes include skin trimmings, fleshing, buffing dust and chrome shavings. The main
constituent of this waste is protein, if not treated properly causes hazardous pollution to the environment.
Reutilization of this leather waste was taken as an opportunity to clean the cities environment. Literature studies
have shown that these products can be used in development of other useful products.

Method:

Tanning Industries of Kasur which are famous for raw leather products has been be taken as a case study for
sample collection. In the next stage, experimentation were performed on this waste material. Leather waste was
mixed with plaster of paris to develop Insulation boards. At initial level, eight to ten boards were prepared by
varying the quantities of waste and binding material. Then different physio-chemical tests were like thermal
conductivity, mechanical strength and FTIR were performed on all the boards.

Failure Analysis Center (FAC), Institute of Space Technology (IST), Pakistan:

Vision and Objective:

Failure analysis of engineering materials is critical to industrial applications, not only to provide answers as to
why in-service failures may have occurred, but more importantly, to enable evolution towards better products.
Unfortunately no such facility was available in Pakistan and components were sent to OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) for the services or local reps of foreign experts were providing the services at a very
high cost.

By establishing Failure Analysis Center (FAC), aforementioned services are made available in Pakistan at a
very economical cost.

8
Failure Analysis Center (FAC), Institute of Space Technology (IST) is first of its kind in Pakistan, with its
expertise in metallurgical advisory is committed to enlighten the public and private industry of Pakistan on the
importance of failure analysis and its application to prevent future failures. Its extensive failure analysis facility,
equipped with state of the art test equipment, allows us to quickly identify the source of failure and to make
recommendations for improvements to prevent their recurrence and also very useful in improving the reliability
of products.

FAC is currently supporting variety of industries in the field of Aviation, Defense, Oil and Gas, Fertilizers,
Automobiles and Product/ Process Industries by means of Material Analysis (MA), Failure Analysis (FA),
Structural Integrity Assessment (SIA), Remaining Life Assessment (RLA) and providing Material & Process
Advisory Services (MPAS).

The facility, while still in its infancy, has already commenced to provide consultancy in the following areas:

 Failure Analysis of metal parts/components/systems by applying “root cause approach” with the aim to
ensure avoidance of similar recurrences.

 Provision of advisory, services or both to the desirous manufactures for:

o Identifying/selecting metals & processes (including alternative solutions) essentially

required for developing parts/components either afresh or through reverse engineering.

9
 o Inspection of raw materials, on site processing of materials (including heat & surface
treatments) and the finished items.

 Estimation of the status of parts/components/systems with view to:

o Recommend necessary measures for their restoration (if required & possible).

o Determine the remaining “safe life period”, for their operational usage.

o Establish inspection criterion & intervals for parts/components/systems during their

“safe life period”.

 Training of Human Resource:

o Through formal programs at IST.

o On-site training on need basis.

In order to provide above stated services/advisory FAC has opted to follow modern trends being practised
worldwide in such fields/domains. This approach suggests that:

 Only essentially required “state-of- the- art” facilities be established in house.

 A strong pragmatic collaborative network comprising of those organizations which already have some
authenticated facilities be formed for gaining benefits of their expertise in specific areas and lowering the
operational costs.

 A vibrant advisory board of domain experts (regardless of their geographical locations) be formed for
sharing & exchanging experiences

 Organizations must remain connected & engaged with international community of practitioners &
regulators of the domain, for remaining abreast with technological & conceptual developments

Special short courses are also being conducted at FAC, in these specialized areas, on regular basis.

Conclusion:

Provisioning of affordable materials-related solution to customers by addressing their specific needs, and cheap
solutions to supporting variety of industries.

Sustainable Natural Dyeing process for Textile:

Objective:

This project has a patented technology related to efficient natural dyeing of textile without the use of toxic
metallic mordant.

Majority of the synthetic dyes are imported.

While Pakistan has huge resources of natural dyes and this technology can help our economy by the reduction
of our import bill due to the usage of the local resources.

In addition, toxic dyes will be replaced by natural dyes which can bring more top brands in the country and can
have lower impact on environment when natural dye effluent is discharged into the environment.

Conclusion:

I concluded following results after discussion:

o Instead of metals bio based polymers used for color stability to minimize health risks.

o Minimal Environmental Impact – Because they come from natural sources, natural dyes are not harmful
to the environment, which makes it so appealing for consumers. ...
o Renewable – Natural dyes are obtained from renewable sources that can be harnessed without imposing
harm to the environment.

12
 o Color pay-off – If you’re going for a soft hue or soothing shade, natural dyes can help you to achieve.

o Safe – Some natural dyes, such as carmine found in lipsticks, will not cause harm or health problems
when ingested.

Chemical and Microbiological Characteristics of Different Types of Poultry Waste Compost:

Purpose:

The main purpose of this research is to use animals waste and dead animals remains as fertilizer after a 4 to 6
month decay process to minimize bacterial effect and enhancing mineral content of the waste.

This is a very cheap way for farmers to fertilize their fields.

Method:

Present study evaluated chemical and microbiological characteristics of different types of poultry waste
compost for the duration of six months comprising three phases i.e., primary, secondary and curing phase.

The first compartment was comprised of dead birds, while, 2nd, 3rd and 4th compartments were filled with
visceral organs, hatchery waste and poultry droppings, respectively. After 68 filling, the temperature in primary
bin was reached up to 155-160°F within 10-15 days and then it was reduced gradually up to 125°F.

At this stage, all experimental material was transferred from primary to secondary bin. Material in secondary
bin was stayed until the temperature reaches up to 125°F after touching maximum temperature 155-160°F
then it was shifted into third compartment termed as curing phase. During composting process, moisture was
maintained in the range of 50 to 60%.

The compost material was ready for further application when the temperature in curing phase was reached 155-
160°F.

Result:

At the end of each phase of composting process, a sample of 10 kg of each experimental material was collected
and analyzed for bacterial count, proximate and mineral analysis. Regarding proximate analysis, CP content
were higher in dead birds and hatchery waste compost. In terms of microbial count, Salmonella Shigella,
coliform and total plate count were minimum after completion of composting process. Regarding mineral count,
nitrogen, potassium, calcium and phosphorus differs among treatment groups.

Conclusion:

It was concluded that hatchery waste and dead bird compost had ideal proximate and mineral profile and
minimum microbial count hence can be used as fertilizer.

UVAS Jumbo Quail Project:

Purpose:

15
Quail production locally known as batair farming, despite having enormous potential remained one of the
neglected components of the poultry sector in the country; reason, very little research work done on its
breeding, housing, nutritional requirements, and overall management.

Research Method:

Keeping in view this scenario, a comprehensive research project was started at Avian Research and Training
(ART) Center, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS) Lahore with the main focus to improve
four week body weight in Japanese Quails through selective breeding.

After generations of selection, significant improvement in body weight was observed. Day old chick weight
improved from 6 to 8.5gm. Major improvement was observed in four week body weight (+200 VS 110 gm).
These genetically improved quails are being supplied to local quail farmers and a substantial improvement is
being observed in their performance as well.

Results:

Earlier in field conditions four week body weight of batair was 100-110gm but after crossing their birds with
the genetically improved ones from ARTC, UVAS, people are getting 140-150 gram body weight at their farms.

However, if they do not perform cross breeding and raise the same birds as of ARTC, they can easily get 200
gm. body weight at the end of four weeks.

16
Hence, it can be said that with the efforts of Avian Research and Training Centre, UVAS Lahore, both in terms
of improving the productive and reproductive performance through selective breeding, and human resource
development in this field, has inspired the farmers to get advantage from these genetically improved birds.

Fungal Derived Natural Statins for the Remedy of Hypercholesterolemia:

Purpose:

This project was planned to isolate and purify statins from fungal source which are important for the treatment
of hypercholesterolemia. Many studies have been attempted in the synthesis of statin as Lipitor, Lescol,
Mevacor, Zocor, crestor , which are currently used in the treatment of essential hypercholesterolemia and
cardiovascular diseases in humans. However, these synthetic drugs are believed to have certain side effects such
as nausea, headache, vomiting, myalgia, dizziness, flushing of skin, abdominal cramping and pain, constipation,
diarrhea and cough all of which might be intrinsically linked to synthetic statins. Therefore, this project is
designed to find safer, innovative and economical statins which are necessary for the prevention and remedy of
hypercholesterolemia and associated cardiovascular diseases.

Market need:

We are living in modern age; everyone feels is in a race to maintain his survival. Due to the burden of
overpopulation peoples are working like machine & get stressed & suffering from various diseases. In which
risk of cardiac diseases with high blood pressure is most common due to unhealthy lifestyle. So the market need
economic& safe (no side effects) statins.

Competitors/Substitutes:

Numbers of companies are selling their products of statins in the market. But our drug proves to make an
economical & suitable substitute in pharmaceutical market of Pakistan.

Economic Benefit:

Various statins and its derivatives of multi-national companies are available in the market. But our source of
statin is fungus which is 100% natural, safe and cheapest source. So it provides economic benefits.

Ionic Textile Industrial Effluents by Using Mixed Matrix Nano filtration Membranes.

Department of polymer engineering, Punjab university, Lahore has developed nano filtration membranes for ionic
textile industries effluents.

These membranes include

17
Salt rejection membrane, to remove unwanted salts.

Textile industries represent an important environmental problem due to their high water consumption. In order
to economically water consumption, wastewater treatment is necessary for water reuse in the textile industries.
Predicting the performance of nano filtration membrane, as an effective separation process, is necessary for the
design and depiction of process. Prediction of the rejection of degradable components is especially important.

Hydrogel membranes and membranes for dye rejection.

Membranes are made up in such way that it contains millions of holes in one centimeter area. Formation of
membranes in microfluidic channels have been paid attention for their great potentials in separation of
components, cell culture supports for tissue engineering and chemical process involving molecular transports.
The hydrogel and other membrane with excellent anti-dye-fouling property can effectively separate dyes.

University, Lahore.

Coal fly Ash Bricks

Objective and methodology:

 Fly ash is used with less amount of cement and soil and very good and cheap results found.

 Unlike clay bricks, which use valuable topsoil as raw material, the new method uses fly ash, an
unwanted residue from coal-fired power plants.

Volume mass, compressive strength, water uptake and water absorption of pressed test samples made of a
mixture of coal fly-ash, slag and sodium silicate solution (water-glass) were determined. It was found that such
mixtures can solidify in the open air and form water-stable materials.

Conclusion:

Every year, hundreds of millions of tons of coal are burned in power stations all over the world including
Pakistan. Wastes in the form of fly-ash and slag are generated in colossal quantities. These wastes can be used
effectively in the building industry and in particular in the manufacture of autoclaved blocks and bricks.

It is very much vital to use only high quality fly ash to prevent negative effects on the structure of the
building.They are light in weight and hence are very suitable for multi-floored buildings. This is because as the
height of the buildings increase, the stress and tension on the foundation and structure increase too. With light
bricks, this stress and tension are reduced manifold.

Fly ash bricks absorb less heat and considering the Indian climate, it makes it better when compared to
clay bricks.

Recombinant Buffalo chymosin : a milk coagulating enzyme pivotal for cheese production:

Introduction:

Chymosin is an aspartic protease which is obtained from the unweaned calf abomasum. Chymosin is
synthesized in its precursor form i.e. pre-prochymosin. Chymosin, in the form of rennet, has been used by
humans for millennia for curding milk in cheese making. The removal of 16 amino acid leader sequence from
N-terminal converts it into prochymosin. At pH 4.5, N-terminal residues are removed through auto cleavage and
active chymosin is produced. The application of chymosin as exogenous enzyme is in food industry for cheese
making.

Objective:

The objective of this project was to produce recombinant buffalo prochymosin that can be used as an alternative
source for animal rennet. Buffalos are major milk producing animals and contribute to 73% of total milk
production in Pakistan. With the increase of population and increasing demand of cheese industry, the calf
rennet supply is decreasing. Recombinant buffalo chymosin that can convert the buffalo milk to cheese with
significant flavour and texture that can be exported and added to the economy.

Method:

The study was initiated with the RNA extraction from abomasum of milk suckling calf, cDNA was synthesized
by reverse transcriptase and amplified through PCR. The prochymosin cDNA was then cloned into pET21a
expression vector and expressed in BL21 (DE3) Codon Plus host cells using 1mM IPTG. A band of
approximately 40kD on SDS-PAGE in induced sample confirmed the recombinant prochymosin. The
recombinant prochymosin was expressed in the form of inclusion bodies which was further subjected to
solubilisation and in vitro refolding by multiple methods.

19
The optimum solubilisation and refolding was done with 8M urea, redox couple (0.5mM cysteine and 5mM
cystine) and glycine as additive. The specific activity of partially purified prochymosin (3640U/mg) was
determined by converting it to chymosin at pH 4.5.

Result and Conclusion:

Therefore, this study is of great economic importance as recombinant buffalo chymosin can be produced in a
cost effective way to meet the growing demand of cheese manufacturing.

Synthesis and characterization of copper oxide nanoparticles from two different plant extracts:

Introduction:

A green method using biological reliable processes has been developed for the synthesis of CuO nano particles.
Synthesis of CuO nano particles was done using an environmental friendly method.

21
Objective:

The main objective was to synthesize and characterize two different copper oxide nanoparticles by taking two
different plant leaves extracts and then comparing their sizes and shape by characterization results.

Method:

An aqueous solution of copper acetate monohydrate and leaf extracts of capsicum annum and mentha spicata
were mixed separately and then centrifuged. The supernatent was discarded and the left pallet was found to be
CONPs which was then incubated and dried to powder form. A visible change was observed in the solution
prepared as it changed from light blue to light brown to dark brown once the extract was added to the copper
acetate solution. Characterization of the synthesized CuO nanoparticles was done using instruments such as UV-
visible spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer. The size and shape of both
the synthesized nanoparticles were compared from characterization results.

Results:

The existence of peaks obtained in XRD confirmed CuO nanoparticles. Uv-visible analysis showed absorbance
at 346 nm approximately. An average size of both the synthesized nanoparticles was 300Â nm obtained during
SEM analysis due to the formation of nanoparticle clusters.

Conclusion:

It was found that both the plant leaves are a suitable alternative for the easy and green synthesis of CuO
nanoparticles.

Synthesis and Cyclization of 1, 5-Diketone:

Objective:

Diketones play a key role in the synthetic organic chemistry. They are being broadly found in natural products,
pharmaceuticals and biologically related compounds. They possess surprisingly chemical properties due to
highly reactive carbonyls groups and are used for the synthesis of huge range of organic compounds such as
antioxidants, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphure containing heterocyclic compounds.

Method:

Working on reported method, condensation of Acetophenone (2) and Benzaldehyde (1) was carried out (scheme
1) in the presence of Sodium Hydroxide and Ethanol to synthesize 1, 3, 5-Triphenyl-1, 5- pentanedione (P1).
The same reaction was carried out under different reaction conditions on stirring with high yield.
Recrystallization was used for the purification of product. Moreover, TLC (thin layer chromatography, Eluent;
n-Hexane :Ethylacetate = 3:1) proved the compound has been synthesized. Characterization of the product was
done by LC-MS, IR, 1HNMR, GC-MS and 13CNMR. Furthur, the compound 1, 3, 5-Triphenyl-1, 5-
pentanedione (P1) was utilized in synthesis of Methanone, 4, 5-Diphenyl-3, 5-cyclopentadiene-[diiyl]-
diphenone (P2). For this, it was condensed with Benzil (3) in acidic as well as basic media (scheme 2). The

22
progress of reaction was monitored by TLC (thin layer chromatography, Eluent; nHexane/Ethylacetate = 3:2)
visualizing under UV lamp and Iodine bath.

Result:

A number of solvents had been used for recrystallization but Ethanol gave the best yields. The product (P2 )
proved to be fluorescent when its solution was observed under UV lamp. Characterization of the Product was
done by 1HMNR and 13CNMR.

Application of ozone for bleaching cotton fabric with multiple reuse of waterbath:

Objective:

This project was designed to bleach raw cotton fabric using ozone both at laboratory scale and pilot scale to
reduce water pollution.

Method:

The process parameters (ozone dose, pH, treatment time) were optimized in order to achieve the best whiteness,
absorbency and strength of ozone bleached fabric comparable to that of conventionally bleached fabric. In case
of laboratory scale application, the maximum CIE whiteness (60-62) and best quality of bleached fabric was
obtained at an ozone dose of 6 g/h, pH 5 and exposure time of 45 min. Strong acidic environment (pH 2-3) and
exposure time longer than 45 min though marginally improved the degree of whiteness but deteriorated the
quality of the fabric as indicated by higher copper number (0.19) and TF (0.94). Since the efficiency of ozone
bleaching process at pilot scale was not in parallel with its laboratory scale performance, various additives were
used to enhance process efficiency.

Result:

The best results in terms of whiteness (63.79), absorbency (10 sec) and strength of bleached fabric were
achieved with an addition of 2 g/l of surfactant at optimal process conditions (ozone dose of 50 g/h, pH 5 and
ozone treatment time of 45 min). However, other additives (peracetic acid and H2O2) did not show promising
results. The ozone bleaching waterbath was also reused several times to bleach multiple lots of raw cotton fabric
and results revealed that CIE whiteness (60) remained stable even at 20th reuse of same waterbath.

Conclusion:

This approach reduced the pollution load of effluent and saved water and chemicals and provided environment
friendly alternative to conventional bleaching method.

Phage Therapy: A Hope Among Scientists to Resolve the Antibiotics Resistance Issue Around The
Globe

Objective:

In the last fifteen years there has been a massive increase of 65% in the consumption of antibiotics as well as
their continuous use and misuse in healthcare are contributing in the rapid emergence of multidrug resistant
(MDR) bacterial strains. The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains, which are posing a
global health threats has developed the interest of scientists to use bacteriophages instead of conventional
antibiotics therapy. In light of an increased interest in the use of phage as a bacterial control agent, the aim of
the study was to isolate and characterize lytic phages from sewage effluent.

25
Method:

During the current study, bacteriophage AS1 was isolated from sewage effluent against E.coliS2. The lytic
activity of phageAS1 was limited to E.coliS2 strain showing monovalent behavior. The calculated phage titer
was 3.5×109 pfu/ml. PhageAS1 produced plaques at wide range of pH and temperature. Normal lytic activity
of phage was recorded in between 25ºC to 60ºC and 5 to 11 temperature and pH respectively. At temperature
70ÂC, phage activity was somewhat reduced whereas, further increase in temperature and increase or decrease
in pH completely inactivated the phages.

Conclusion:

From the current study, it was concluded that waste water is a best source for finding bacteriophages against
multi-drug resistant bacterial strains and can be used as bacterial control agent.

Car Parking Sensor

Objective and Methodology:

The sensors emit acoustic pulses, with a control unit measuring the return interval of each reflected signal and
calculating object distances.

The system in turns warns the driver with acoustic tones, the frequency indicating object distance, with faster
tones indicating closer proximity and a continuous tone indicating a minimal pre-defined distance.

26
Systems may also include visual aids, such as LED or LCD readouts to indicate object distance. hese sensors
emit sound pulses (in a frequency undetectable by human ears, but your dog may go berserk) that reflect off of
nearby objects.

A receiver detects the reflected waves and calculates the distance from your vehicle to the object.

This is actually the same technology bats use to locate objects because they have very poor eyesight.

Ultrasonic proximity sensors are usually connected to an alert/alarm system that warns the driver of nearby
obstacles with sounds. Some more advanced ultrasonic sensors may translate to a pictograph on a vehicle’s
infotainment screen that uses color blocks to represent the vehicle and possible obstacles.

Ultrasonic sensors do have a few drawbacks. The use of sound waves may not be able to accurately detect
objects that are:

 Flat and in a parallel plane with the road surface

 Flat and angled away from the sensor

 Small (like nails or other construction debris)

 Soft and sound-dampening

So, as with any sensor system, you still need to use your eyes and common sense.

Water Level Indicator

Introduction

27
This is a system to track the water in the tank. When we start water pump is we have no idea when it gets filled
up and sometimes there are situation where the pump keeps on pumping water to the tank and the water
starts spilling out from the tank. There is wastage of energy as well as wastage of water.

There are Four parts in this project:-

(i) The Sensor Part

It is generally a fixed support inside the tank having some nuts and bolt with wires coming out.
(ii) The Circuit Part
It comprises the brain of the module, where in all the various inputs from the sensors are fed. It is the unit from
where you will get all the information of how much of water is in the tank.
(iii) The Power Supply
It is the part where in you will be converting the A/C voltage to a regulated voltage of 5V to the Circuit.
(IV) The Buzzer Part
It is responsible for bringing up the sound when the water level fills up in the tank. It will also be having a
speaker or a buzzer to alert.

Advantage:

When we power on we will see some of the LED's glowing, indicating the level of the tank, if we see only one
of the RED glowing then your tank is fully empty and it is time you should turn on your water pump.

After the pump is on you will then see after some period of time that the LED's will start to glow from bottom
up till the final Blue LED will light up and sound up the alarm.

Development and characterization of simvastatin loaded nano-films as a potential strategy for

diabetic wound healing.

Introduction:

Wagner and UT wound classification is used to classify diabetic wounds. It includes different grades ranges 0-5
for wagner wound classification and 0-3 for UT diabetic wound classification.

Any wound have five stages of healing. In case of diabetic wound all these cells are lesser in quantity and only
macrophages are more in number for a defense mechanism against microbes.

In diabetic wound, there is less penetrated blood vessels and slow healing process which leads to prolonged
inflammatory phase. Recently, it has been demonstrated that statins have pleiotropic effects that could be useful
for wound healing.

Mechanism:

But the major mechanism of statins in wound healing is angiogenesis and lymph angiogenesis. By this
mechanism of action topically prepared statins enhanced the wound healing in diabetic ulcer. Complications
resulting from DM include ischemia and neuropathy which may lead to foot ulceration. Diabetic foot ulcers
frequently become infected and are a major cause of hospital admissions. They also account for more than half
of non-traumatic lower limb amputations in DM patient population. For these reasons, it is important to manage
diabetic wound effectively.

Mechanics:

This mechanical arm is assembly of different circuits, motors, arduino and batteries.

33
Conclusion:

The mechanical nature of the equipment and the computerized control, make industrial robotics technology
more efficient and speedy, leading to higher production rates than with human labor. Another aspect of
efficiency is that robots can be mounted from the ceiling and have no problem with working upside down.

Here are a number of tasks that are too dangerous, too exposed to toxins, or just plain too dirty for humans to
conveniently do them. These are ideal robotics tasks.

This includes tasks as simple as spray painting, because there is no need to worry about the robot inhaling the
paint fumes.
It also includes such daunting tasks as defusing bombs and such dirty tasks as cleaning sewers.
