    Description and Categorization of Balti Inflectional and Derivational Morphemes
    (UMT Lahore, 2015) Iftikhar Hussain
    The current study aims to describe and categorize inflectional and derivational morphemes of Balti Language which is spoken by the people of Baltistan region of Gilgit Baltistan. Balti is one of the less documented languages in Pakistan and no remarkable documentation has been done on Balti morphology particularly on word formations/ morphemes. For this purpose the researcher selected 200 Balti root words (nouns, pronouns and verbs) from the corpus data using both the naturalistic and documented sources. The selected 200 words were analyzed within the paradigm of both inflectional and derivational morphemes descriptively using the qualitative research design. All the possible inflectional and derivational markers were analyzed through different tables and their morph syntactic and phonological constrains were also explained. Moreover, the collected data were analyzed and described in two phases. In the first phase all the inflectional features, e.g. tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender and mood have been analyzed in order to find out total Balti inflectional morphemes. In the second phase word category and amendment of meaning of selected root words have been analyzed with the aim of finding out total Balti derivational morphemes. The study found 24 inflectional morphemes including 3 plural markers, 6 case markers, 1 gender marker, 11 tense markers, 3 mood markers and 6 derivational morphemes including 3 deverbal markers (derivation of nouns from verbs), and 3 denominal markers (derivation of adjectives from nouns).

    Real time monitoring of transformer
    (UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY, 2015) M.Ahsan Anwar; Umair Rehan; Iftikhar Hussain; Usama Wajid
    Transformers are vital part of the transmission and distribution systems. Monitoring transformers for problems before they occur can prevent faults that are costly to repair and result in a loss of service. Current systems can provide information about the state of a transformer, but are either offline or very expensive to implement. Transformers being the essential part of power transmission system are expensive, as is the cost of power interruptions. Because of the cost of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, especially at remote sites, the utility industry has begun investing in instrumentation and monitoring of transformer. On-line transformer diagnostics using conventional technologies like carrier power line communication, radio frequency based control system and supervisory control and data acquiring systems, Distributed control systems and internet based systems communications are having their own limitations. This project objective is to develop low cost solution for monitoring health condign of remote located distribution transformers using online monitoring to prevent premature failure of distribution and other transformers and improving reliability of service to the customers. An embedded based hardware designis develop to acquire data from electrical sensing system. It consists of a sensing system , signal conditioning electronic circuit and advanced embedded hardware for middle level computing and a Lab-view software that make it is easy to online monitoring at any place anywhere. Any change in parameters of transmission is sensed to protect the entire transmission and distribution, developed for monitoring in various parameters like transformer overload, voltage fluctuations and Power factor of load.
