National Science Talent Contest or NSTC is an extension of the National Physics Talent Contest launched by PIEAS in 1995 on the directive of the then President of Pakistan. The purpose of the NSTC is to inspire the youth of the Nation to opt for careers in science, and mathematics and to prepare young students for participation in International ...
In 2000, the PIEAS was granted the status of a doctorate degree awarding institute. PIEAS is based on a 150 acres (0.61 km 2; 0.23 sq mi) campus and has around 135 full-time faculty members. [2] As of 2017, Higher Education Commission rated PIEAS as the 1st leading engineering university in Pakistan. [3]
It was planned under the auspices of PAEC in 1987 and was formally inaugurated by president of Pakistan Farooq Leghari in 1994. It is affiliated to Pakistan Institute of Engineering & Applied Sciences (PIEAS) Islamabad, for awarding MPhil & PhD degrees.

Soil sieve nests with dry soil aggregates after removal from a laboratory drying oven. Soil aggregate stability is a measure of the ability of soil aggregates—soil particles that bind together—to resist breaking apart when exposed to external forces such as water erosion and wind erosion, shrinking and swelling processes, and tillage.
For efficient filling, aggregate should be much smaller than the finished item, but have a wide variety of sizes. Aggregates are generally added to lower the amount of binders needed and to increase the strength of composite materials. Sand and gravel are used as construction aggregate with cement to make concrete and increase its mechanical ...
The Mexican government said Friday it has closed a limestone gravel quarry owned by a U.S. company, a move likely to add fuel to an ongoing trade dispute with the firm. The Environment Department ...
Sand or gravel aquifers would thus be easier to extract water from (e.g., using a pumping well) because of their high transmissivity, compared to clay or unfractured bedrock aquifers. Hydraulic conductivity has units with dimensions of length per time (e.g., m/s, ft/day and ( gal /day)/ft 2 ); transmissivity then has units with dimensions of ...
