Relative Abundance of Mammalian Fauna of Chitral Gol National Park, Pakistan
( University of Punjab (new Campus) , 2023 , Article)Chitral Gol National Park (CGNP) harbors a large number of mammals. However, population size, estimated density or any other ecological parameter is not available for those species except annual census counts for markhor ... -
Niche suitability and spatial distribution patterns of anurans in a unique Ecoregion mosaic of Northern Pakistan
( Public Library of Science , 2023 , Article)The lack of information regarding biodiversity status hampers designing and implementing conservation strategies and achieving future targets. Northern Pakistan consists of a unique ecoregion mosaic which supports a myriad ... -
New Distribution Records of Small Kashmir Flying Squirrel Eoglaucomys fimbriatus (Gray, 1837) (Mammalia: Sciuridae), with Notes on its Diel Activity in the Musk Deer National Park, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan
( Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences , 2023 , Article)Small Kashmir Flying Squirrel (SKFS) Eoglaucomys fimbriatus (Gray, 1837) is a resident of thick forests in northern parts of Pakistan. The species faces many threats in Pakistan and is listed as vulnerable in Pakistan. A ... -
Protecting alpine biodiversity in the Middle East from climate change: Implications for high-elevation birds
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2024 , Article)Aims: The Middle East, located in the arid belt of the Earth, is home to a diverse range of biodiversity, with its mountain ecosystems being the most important centres of species diversity and endemism. In this study, the ... -
Preliminary study on the inclusion of inherent safety principles using property design framework
( AIChE , 2008 , Conference Paper)The word safety in design signals accident prevention and protective measures. On a larger scale, safety in processes involves the risk of operating process units and operating conditions, supplied and generated substances ... -
Incorporating inherent safety principles in design via property design platform
( AIChE , 2008 , Conference Paper)The word safety in design signals accident prevention and protective measures. On a larger scale, safety in processes involves the risk of operating process units and operating conditions, supplied and generated substances ... -
Anchor-Tenant models for the synthesis of eco-industrial parks through carbon-hydrogen-oxygen symbiosis networks
( AIChE , 2017 , Conference Paper)An eco-industrial park (EIP) is a network of entities who choose to interact by exchanging byproducts, wastes and/or energy to gain benefits greater than unintegrated operations. The concept is particularly attractive for ... -
