Infrastructure Development is regarded as a prerequisite for rapid transformation of an economy. Some regions on account of their location disadvantages face some inherent problems regarding development. The present study is an effort to compare the infrastructure development in the border and non-border districts of Punjab. The study compares the infrastructural development in terms of health,...

Up to 90% of eukaryotic genomes are transcribed. Only ~ 2% of these transcripts encode proteins, while remaining 98% are ncRNAs [1,2]. ncRNAs can be categorized into infrastructural ncRNAs and regulatory ncRNAs. Constitutively expressed infrastructural ncRNAs include ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). Based on their si...

A Infrastructural and societal changes intertwine in multiple ways. This makes the societal implications of infrastructural projects difficult to assess and anticipate. Yet in present day network societies this task is particularly urgent. This paper first identifies two positions that tend to monopolize and deadlock debates. Next it examines two decades of research in the Large Technica...

We discus some frequently neglected issues relating to corporate communication infrastructures. The perception of services like e-mail as infrastructural -and thus less interesting -lies at the heart of corporate ignorance regarding their strategic capabilities. This may cause major problems in the near future, when inadequate communication infrastructures may hamper the successful uptake of st...

We address efficient planning of maintenance activities in infrastructural networks, inspired by the real-world problem of servicing a highway network. A road authority is responsible for the quality, throughput and maintenance costs of the network, while the actual maintenance is performed by autonomous, third-party contractors. From a (multi-agent) planning and scheduling perspective, many in...

What are the infrastructural possibilities for introducing novel ICT based services in the international multi-modal logistics environment? The specific case of nascent realtime reporting potentials for cold chain transport and handling in a hybrid data carrier environment is explored and an infrastructural analysis indicates the technical suitability of a GSM telemetry. Activities and technolo...
