Pakistan’s Internal Challenges
Pakistan is currently experiencing one of the most turbulent phases in its history; throughout its 62-year existence it has often been confronted with one serious crisis after another. The sources of this perpetual instability have been both internal and external in their nature. Parts of Islamabad, which was once considered to be one of the safest and most peaceful cities in the region, have the look of a war zone. Concrete barricades on roads and in front of houses have turned traffic into a nightmare and houses into mini fortresses. During the last year or so, terrorist tactics have significantly and visibly evolved from suicide bombings or car bombs to military-style raids and attacks on...
Deep Learning Applications in Translational Bioinformatics
Deep Learning Applications in Translational Bioinformatics, a new volume in the Advances in Ubiquitous Sensing Application for Healthcare series, offers a detailed overview of basic bioinformatics, deep learning, various applications of deep learning in translational bioinformatics including deep learning ensembles, deep learning in protein classification, detection of various diseases, prediction of antiviral peptides, identification of antibiotic resistance, computer aided drug design and drug formulation. This new volume helps researchers working in the field of machine learning and bioinformatics to foster future research and development in ensemble deep learning and inspire new bioinformatics applications that cannot be attained by using traditional machine learning models. Addresses the practical application of deep learning algorithms to a wide range of bioinformatics challenges Presents integrative and multidisciplinary approaches to ubiquitous healthcare Includes case studies to illustrate the concepts discussed
Physics and Contemporary Needs
These proceedings cover the lectures delivered at the Fifth International Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs from June 16-July 4, 1980 at Nathiagali, one of the scenic hill resorts in the northern part of Pakistan. The college was organized by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and co-sponsored by the International Centre for Theroetical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy. It also received a financial grant from the University Grants Commission (UGC) for the participation of physicists from various universities in Pakistan. The college was attended by 22 lecturers and invited seminar speakers, 150 participants from 30 countries, and consisted of 15 concentrated days of le...
Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons
Pakistan is a vitally important country in the contemporary global political system. It is a de facto nuclear state, and a pivotal country in the War on Terror. This book provides a comprehensive study of a nuclear-armed Pakistan, investigating the implications of its emergence as a nuclear weapons state. Setting out the historical background of Pakistani nuclear development, the book examines the lessons for proliferation that can be drawn from the Pakistan case. It explains the changes and continuities of Pakistan’s nuclear policy, assessing its emerging force posture and the implications for Pakistani, South Asian and global security. It also considers the extent to which Pakistan can be said to have a nuclear doctrine, the Pakistani nuclear command and control system, and the relationship between Pakistan and the Non-Proliferation regime. Addressing the issue of whether Pakistan should be viewed as a proliferator, and the implications of a nuclear Pakistan for global terrorism, Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons is an important study of all the major issues surrounding Pakistan’s emergence as a nuclear power.
Handbook of Nuclear Proliferation
The chapters of this proposed volume are intended to shed light on the diverse themes surrounding this very important issue area in international security. Each of the six major sections addresses an aspect of nuclear proliferation that will be critical in determining the future trajectory of global politics in the years to come. The first section examines the major thematic issues underlying the contemporary discourse on nuclear proliferation. How do we understand this period in proliferation? What accounts for a taboo on the use of nuclear weapons so far and will it survive? What is the present state of nuclear deterrence models built during the Cold War? What is the relationship between t...
Pakistan's Pathway to the Bomb
"Mansoor Ahmed's Pakistan's Pathway to the Bomb reveals a new history of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program and the bureaucratic competition that shaped it from its inception in 1956 until the 1998 nuclear tests and beyond. While the enduring security dilemma from India was the chief driver for the country's quest for the bomb, heated domestic rivalries within the country's technocratic community influenced the direction and growth of the nuclear program in equal measure. Ahmed offers a revisionist assessment of the role of Dr. A. Q. Khan, the giant of Pakistan's nuclear program. He reveals the competition between Khan Research Laboratories and the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, how A. Q. Khan was able to build a cult of personality that inflated his role in the public mind, and how Khan was able to build a fiefdom largely outside of state control that proliferated nuclear technology abroad. Drawing on elite interviews and previously untapped primary-source documents, this book sheds light on the process by which Pakistan became a nuclear power"--
The Politics of Nuclear Weapons in South Asia
An important and critical re-evaluation of South Asia's post-tests nuclear politics, in contrast to other books, this volume emphasises the political dimension of South Asia's nuclear weapons, explains how the bombs are used as politico-strategic assets rather than pure battlefield weapons and how India and Pakistan utilise them for politico-strategic purposes in an extremely complex and competitive South Asian strategic landscape. Written by a group of perceptive observers of South Asia, this volume evaluates the current state of Indo-Pakistani nuclear deterrents, the challenges that the two countries confront in building their nuclear forces, the post-test nuclear doctrines of the two strategic rivals, the implications of Indo-Pakistani politics for regional cooperation, the role of two systemic actors (USA and China) in the region's nuclear politics and the critical issues of confidence-building and nuclear arms control.
