RIUI's 4th convocation
Islamabad: The educational institutions should take concrete steps
to promote research-based knowledge among students to make the country strong
and prosperous, said Senate Chairman Muhammadmian Soomro on
Saturday.
Soomro was addressing the 4th convocation of Riphah
International University Islamabad (RIUI) as the chief guest at Jinnah
Convention Centre.
Advisor to Prime Minister on Science and Technology
Dr Ashfaq Ahmad was also present on this occasion.
Soomro said the
educational institutions should rise to the challenges and developments taking
place around the globe by inculcating research culture into the students who
were to play a role for the development of the country.
Dr Ahmad said
Pakistan was facing economic and power shortage crises. "The scenario seems grim
and discouraging but that is not the complete picture. Every dark cloud has a
silver lining," he added. He said the hardworking nations took the challenges as
opportunities and utilised them to win laurels.
RIUI Vice Chancellor Dr
Anis Ahmad said their mission was promotion of Islamic values and seeking
professional excellence. He said RIUI was running MBBS, MDS, MS and BS
Electrical Engineering, MS and BS Software Engineering, BS Information
Technology, Doctor of Pharmacy, Doctor of Physical Therapy, MBA and many other
post graduate and undergraduate degree programmes.
He said in 2008 the
university provided Rs 28.36 million financial assistance to its students on the
basis of merit and need.
In all 469 graduates of the university were
awarded degrees at the convocation. Of them 196 got MBBS, 104 BDS, 10 MSc Pain

Marriott bomber stayed at Shifa College of Medicine
Islamabad: In a significant breakthrough the investigators of the
Marriott blast have traced movement of a key suspect and possible suicide
attacker.
Sources said that the bomber visited the capital twice and
stayed with students of a private medical college in a hostel.
Based on
interrogation of some religious extremists arrested from Punjab, the
investigators got information that the suicide bomber, a young man with beard,
visited Islamabad twice and stayed in a hostel's room of Shifa College of
Medicine, which was under the use of two postgraduate students.
The
investigators reached the hostel to take the students in custody for
interrogation. However, a college professor asked them to interrogate the
students in his presence.
The investigators left the hostel after
interrogation, but returned after some days and took the students in custody,
the sources said.
Later, the students were shifted to an undisclosed
location for further investigation which may help in tracing the mastermind and
the terrorist group behind the incidents and their possible links with other
groups.
During the investigation, it was revealed that the possible
attacker stayed with the students twice in August and September, and he seems to
be a 'moulvi' from his appearance during his first visit to the
city.
During the course of interrogation from the arrested students, it
was revealed that the suspect on his last visit had shaved off his beard and had
started to give a look of moderate person.
The sources said the
investigation team headed by the FIA director general got the information about
the possible suicide attacker during investigations of score of people picked up
on suspicion from different part of the country, including Islamabad,
Faisalabad, Peshawar and Dera Ismail Khan.
FIA director-general Tariq
Pervez said it was premature to comment weather, the man who stayed in the
hostel, was suicide attacker or not.
The sources said the investigation
revealed that the target of the suicide attack was American Marine, FBI and CIA
personnel staying at the hotel. Dawn

HEC's Advanced Network for Researchers Fully Operational
Islamabad: The advanced Pakistan Education and Research Network (PERN), launched by the Higher Education
Commission (HEC) that is connected to global Research and Education Networks
(RENs) including the Internet2 of USA, Asia-Pacific Advanced Network of
continents of Asia and Australia, and GEANT2 network of National RENs of
European countries, is fully operational for use by researchers, academicians
and students who may initiate activities and projects with international
collaborations.
This link is a result of joint efforts of the HEC and the
National Science Foundation of USA who equally co-funded a dedicated link from
PERN to Internet2. PERN now has a total R&E link capacity of 155 Mbps and it
is now leading in South Asia being three times bigger than the linking capacity
of India's Education & Research Network (ERNet) which is connected to global
R&E network over a 45 Mbps link.
Through this connectivity, academicians
and researchers would be directly connected to other peer RENs, resulting in
lesser delays and low latency with add on features of security and high
performance for the specialized and time sensitive activities, like simulations
on distributed resources, telemedicine and video conferencing, remote
instrumentations, etc.
Moreover, universities and institutes now have access
to the large contents and research resources available with the constituent
academic and research institutions in RENs in advanced countries. These include
free online educational multimedia-on-demand, online library resources, access
to supercomputing and grid nodes, collaborative tools, digital heritage, test
bed for the future internet design, advanced network services' test bed for
IPv6, multicast implementation, layer 2 virtual private networks (VPNs)
etc.
The purpose of this network connection is to support Pakistan's science
and technology collaborations with technologically advanced countries. The
network connections will greatly assist the scientific collaborations being
defined between the developed countries and Pakistan by allowing more direct,
high-speed access and communication among S&T investigators and worldwide
S&T resources.
As an example this allows High-speed access to the
Bio-Mirror and other genomics based archive data hosted by Indiana University
which is critical for genome research will be facilitated by this
high-performance connection. Similarly, this connection will allow more rapid
access to data originating from the NSF funded Network for Earthquake
Engineering Simulation (NEES) project to assist the efforts of the Earth
Sciences and Seismology WG.
The project of PERN was initiated in 2002 as an
Educational Intranet. Since then the Network has evolved significantly and
provides valuable services like high speed internet, audio/video conferencing,
access to digital library resources including journals, books and research
thesis in digitalized format. The Nation
