K-Shell Photoionization of the Oxygen Isonuclear Sequence
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2015 , Conference Paper)K-shell photoionization cross-section measurements for the oxygen isonuclear sequence from N-like to Li-like made at the SOLEIL Light Source are compared with SUNC, MCDF and R-matrix calculations. -
K-shell photoionization of O4 + and O5 + ions: Experiment and theory
( Oxford University Press , 2017 , Article)Absolute cross-sections for the K-shell photoionization of Be-like (O4 +) and Li-like (O5 +) atomic oxygen ions were measured for the first time (in their respective K-shell regions) by employing the ion-photon merged-beam ... -
Electron-impact ionisation of Wq+ ions with 1 ≤ q ≤ 19
( IOP Publishing Ltd , 2020 , Conference Paper)Synopsis Electron-impact ionisation cross sections of tungsten ions in the energy range from the ionisation threshold to 1000 eV were measured. The experimental cross sections are compared with results from sub-configuration ... -
Integrated structural proteomics and machine learning-guided mapping of a highly protective precision vaccine against mycoplasma pulmonis
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Mycoplasma pulmonis (M. pulmonis) is an emerging respiratory infection commonly linked to prostate cancer, and it is classified under the group of mycoplasmas. Improved management of mycoplasma infections is essential due ... -
Interdisciplinary Studies: A Critical Review of the Concept, Paradigm, and Difficulties
( School of Social Sciences & Humanities, University of Management and Technology (UMT) , 2024 , Article)Interdisciplinarity constitutes one of the main drivers for the development of scientific knowledge as it contributes instimulating scientific research from different perspectives and methodologies and inreducing the ... -
Imatinib‑ and ponatinib‑mediated cardiotoxicity in zebrafish embryos and H9c2 cardiomyoblasts
( Spandidos Publications , 2024 , Article)Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) offer targeted therapy for cancers but can cause severe cardiotoxicities. Determining their dose‑dependent impact on cardiac function is required to optimize therapy and minimize adverse ... -
Insight into occupancy determinants and conflict dynamics of grey wolf (Canis lupus) in the dry temperate zone of Hindukush Range
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)The grey wolf (Canis lupus) is a widespread but locally endangered species across Pakistan. The current study investigates the occupancy of grey wolf and conflict with humans in Khanbari Valley Gilgit Baltistan. The study ... -
Landscape associations of Asiatic black bears in Kashmir Himalaya, Pakistan
( International Association for Bear Research and Management , 2021 , Article)The Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) is threatened throughout its range and assessed as nationally vulnerable in Pakistan. Habitat degradation and loss, illegal exploitation, and human-bear conflict are key threats ... -
The response of culturally important plants to experimental warming and clipping in Pakistan Himalayas
( Public Library of Science , 2021 , Article)The relative effects of climate warming with grazing on medicinally important plants are not fully understood in Hindukush-Himalaya (HKH) region. Therefore, we combined the indigenous knowledge about culturally important ... -
Large-scale whole-genome resequencing unravels the domestication history of Cannabis sativa
( American Association for the Advancement of Science , 2021 , Article)Cannabis sativa has long been an important source of fiber extracted from hemp and both medicinal and recreational drugs based on cannabinoid compounds. Here, we investigated its poorly known domestication history using ... -
Nitrogen K-shell photoionization of NO<sup>+</sup>
( IOP Publishing Ltd , 2020 , Conference Paper)Photoionization measurements of NO+ at Nitrogen K-shell, performed at the SOLEIL Light Source will be presented. The main observed structure corresponds to the 1s to π* resonant transition. -
An empirical demonstration of the effect of study design on density estimations
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)The simultaneous development of technology (e.g. camera traps) and statistical methods, particularly spatially capture–recapture (SCR), has improved monitoring of large mammals in recent years. SCR estimates are known to ... -
Comparison of methods for estimating density and population trends for low-density Asian bears
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Populations of bears in Asia are vulnerable to extinction and effective monitoring is critical to measure and direct conservation efforts. Population abundance (local density) or growth (λ) are the most sensitive metrics ... -
Review of field methods for monitoring Asian bears
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Efficient and effective monitoring methods are required to assess population status and gauge efficacy of conservation actions for threatened species. Here we review the spectrum of field methods useful for monitoring ... -
Human Perceptions about the Himalayan Brown Bear and other Carnivores in Chitral District in the Hindu Kush Range, Pakistan
( University of Punjab (new Campus) , 2022 , Article)The Himalayan brown bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus) historically occupied the vast mountain ranges of South and Central Asia. Their range has shrunken significantly in the past century and they currently live in small and ... -
Analysis of provisioning ecosystem services and perceptions of climate change for indigenous communities in the Western Himalayan Gurez Valley, Pakistan
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Climate change is a significant threat to people living in mountainous regions. It is essential to understand how montane communities currently depend especially on the provisioning ecosystem services (ES) and the ways in ... -
Density Pattern of Flare-Horned Markhor (Capra falconeri) in Northern Pakistan
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Wild ungulates play vital roles in maintaining a balanced ecosystem through herbivory and are also an important determinant of carnivores’ density. The flare-horned markhor (Capra falconeri) is a threatened wild goat ... -
