Tuberculosis in Pakistan : improving control strategies
… disease rates have put the Pakistan National TB Control Program in question. The performance is weak and its impact on reducing the burden of TB is low. This dissertation focuses on factors that contribute to it, analyses gaps, and urges more extensive research on the issue to prevent more lives …

Innovative System for Seismic Control Strategies
… regardless of the different distribution strategies, installing TMD systems means adding additional masses to tall buildings. A valuable space on top of tall buildings is sacrificed to contain a large bulky mass, which is not aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, increasing the mass of tall …
