One Day Workshop on Young Researchers "Skill Development"

National Academy of Young Scientists is coming with "2nd One Day Workshop on Young Researchers "Skill Development"  in collaboration with Centre for Excellence in Molecular biology and with the support of Pakistan Science Foundation on January 07, 2012  at University of The Punjab, Lahore.

Also with this Workshop this time we are coming with the most awaited Event of NAYS, The Emerging Idea Conference (EIC) in collaboration with Technology Times in the same Venue. Both the event are open to students from all over Pakistan.

The workshop will focus on the following to improve the productivity of students' research activities:

    Research Publications
    Research Proposal
    Research Grant
    Science Collaboration
    Research: How to do?
    Research Patents
    Curriculum Vitae
    Foreign Scholarships

Facilitated students will be expected to have a comprehensive understanding about the protocols of research process, procedures and parameters. They will also be guided about the research opportunities that can be availed locally and aboard, to widen the horizon of research and allow students to make the most of it. Also NAYS EIC will help them to look for a place where they can share their innovative Ideas in future.

To register follow: 2nd One Day Workshop on Young Researchers' Skill Development

Your registration will only be accepted after you would have paid the registration fee.

 Registration fee: Rs. 500 only which includes:

    Workshop Material: Folder, Writing pad, Ball points
    Certificate of Participation
    1 x Lunch
    2x Refreshments

Tropical Depression 26W (Northwestern Pacific Ocean)-NASA

Twenty-sixth Depression Forms in Northwestern Pacific Ocean

The northwestern Pacific is not yet ready to call the tropical cyclone season quits as the twenty-sixth tropical cyclone just formed about 365 miles east of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

At 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST) on Dec. 12, Tropical Cyclone 26W formed as a depression in the South China Sea and was near 9.5 North and 112.8E. Maximum sustained winds were near 30 knots (35 mph/55 kmh), and TC26W is moving to the west near 8 knots (9 mph/14 kmh). The forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center expect Tropical Depression 26W to move west through the South China Sea, south of Vietnam over the next couple of days.

Animated infrared satellite imagery showed that the low-level center of circulation is getting organized and consolidating. There is also banding of thunderstorms around the center, but convection (rising air that forms thunderstorms that make up the tropical depression) was weaker this morning. Tropical Depression 26W is dealing with easterly wind shear between 10 and 20 knots 12 to 23 mph / 20 to 37 kmh)which is preventing any strengthening. In fact, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center expects the wind shear to push the thunderstorms to the west and away from the storm's center, leading to its dissipation over the next several days.

SPE - SEG JOINT WORKSHOP-Thailand

"GEOPRESSURE ASSESSMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON WELLBORE CONSTRUCTION" 20 - 23 February 2012 · Phuket, Thailand REGISTER NOW TO ENJOY EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT! This joint event, organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), will focus on a broad range of topics related to pore pressure analysis and its impact on wellbore stability. The technical program will cover new techniques and technologies for pore pressure analysis and detection, advances in understanding overpressure generation mechanisms and distribution, with added emphasis on pore pressure prediction in HPHT environments, carbonates-dominated basins, and overpressure problems in deepwater settings.  This workshop will also cover the whole life cycle of pore pressure prediction, leading into assessment of wellbore stability from pre-drill modelling and well planning, through prediction while drilling and real-time mitigation, to post drill analysis. The objective of this joint workshop is to improve communication between the engineering and geoscience communities during wellbore construction, pore-pressure prediction, and detection process.  The workshop is designed for experts, engineers and geoscientists from oil companies, service companies and academia who are interested in developing a cross-disciplinary perspective on pore pressure and wellbore stability issues in geopressured basins.  Please visit the Joint Workshop website for further information.
