International Centre for Advanced Materials. The International Centre for Advanced Materials (ICAM) is a research partnership made up of the energy company, bp, and the four universities:The University of Manchester, The University of Cambridge, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Imperial College London. The ICAM is an experimental organisation, both in its research and partnership model, with the University of Manchester acting as the administrative hub, and the other universities acting as the spokes. The research undertaken is focused on improving the processes integral to the energy industry, in particular how advanced materials can be used to solve the challenges faced. Some notable research includes work on 3D simulation of viscoplastic fluids and fouling mitigation strategies for synthesised foulants.

Structure 
The organisation was founded in Autumn 2012 with a $100 million, 10 year investment from bp, which was then extended by 5 years to 2027. ICAM research is supporting bp's ambitions to become a net zero company by 2050. The research areas are divided into three Enduring Themes: Low Carbon Energy, Sustainable Operations, and Underpinning Sciences. Low Carbon Energy, the largest of the three themes, includes subthemes Hydrogen, Electrification, Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage, and Circular Economy and Sustainability.

Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project. The Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project (RRUDP) is an urban development megaproject in Lahore District, Punjab, Pakistan that runs along the Ravi River in a north-east to south-west direction. It includes the construction of a  planned city and the rehabilitation of the Ravi River into a perennial freshwater body. The project is to be completed in three phases. It is expected to be the largest riverfront of the world when finished.

History 
The idea of an urban development on the Ravi riverfront was first suggested in 1947 by the then Deputy Commissioner of Lahore. In 2013, the Government of Punjab began considering the project, which was initially planned to span over . In 2014, Lahore Development Authority hired Singapore-based architectural firm Meinhardt Group to run a feasibility study on the Ravi River for the development of the project.

The project was inaugurated on 7 August 2020 by then Prime Minister Imran Khan, and construction began in December 2020.

After the project was scrapped by the Islamabad High Court, Imran Khan's government in Punjab began working on the project once again in September 2022.  it had attracted  in foreign investment.

Project details 
The Rs. 5 trillion project aims to rehabilitate and develop the Ravi River into a perennial freshwater body, with high-quality urban development on the adjoining land for up to about 35 million inhabitants. The idea is based on the developments around the River Thames in London. Ravi Urban Development Authority, founded in July 2020, is to oversee the project.

In August 2020, the Provincial Minister of Punjab for housing, urban development and public health engineering Mehmood-ur-Rasheed announced the revised area of the riverfront development to be  instead of 18,000 hectares. 70% of its area will be reserved for the plantation of 6 million trees. A lake, an urban forest, three barrages and six water treatment plants will be built in the first phase. Upper Chenab Canal and BRB canal will be used to provide water to the development, if needed.

The masterplan is to build a modern city on the banks of the Ravi River, bordering Lahore on the north and the west sides, consisting of green belts, piers, and boardwalks, along with 1.4 million residential units.

Criticism 
The Ravi Riverfront development has faced criticism that it is leading to "rampant land grabs" which may displace thousands of farmers. There are accusations that the government is expropriating the land for the benefit of commercial developers, at below the fair value, and a Lahore High Court ruling has found “gross irregularities” in the development process. Further there are concerns of the environmental impact of the development.

Sina-class fast attack craft. Sina () is a class of upgraded  developed by Iran.

History 
One of major naval production projects in Iran, it delivered Iran's first ever domestically-built warship in 2003. Abhijit Singh, a senior fellow at Observer Research Foundation described the project as "a proud testimony of Iran’s abilities at reverse engineering". According to Anthony Cordesman, Sina class ships have been "heavily updated" in comparison to the French-made La Combattante II type Kaman class. As of 2012, reportedly 10 ships were planned in this class.

Armament 
Ships of this class are equipped with four box launchers with C-802 or Noor, as well as one  main gun.

Ships in the class 
As of 2015, four ships (Sina 5 to 8) were under construction, two of them in the Caspian Sea and the other two at Bandar Abbas. In 2020, Farzin Nadimi of The Washington Institute wrote that production of these ships has not improved as expected.

Thermal shock synthesis. Thermal shock synthesis (TSS) is a method in which materials are synthesized via rapid, high-temperature heating. In the TSS process, temperatures as high as 3000 K are applied for a duration of just seconds or milliseconds, followed by rapid cooling (a TSS image shown in Fig. 1). In this regard, TSS is distinct from conventional high-temperature syntheses that feature slow and near-equilibrium heating at limited temperature ranges (e.g., 1500 K for furnace heating) for extended periods of time (typically hours) and generally slow heating and cooling (~10 K/min).

TSS utilizes high temperature to drive reactions at extreme and non-equilibrium conditions. Additionally, the use of the ultra-high temperature can dramatically increase reaction rates for rapid material production. As a result of these characteristics, TSS is particularly applicable for the discovery of new reactions and materials and enabling rapid manufacturing.

Realization 

The TSS method was invented by Dr. Liangbing Hu and his team at the University of Maryland, College Park. The technology is also patented. The TSS was first realized by Joule heating of carbon materials to a high temperature and rapidly quenched with a short duration, which are controlled by electric power with a high temporal resolution. The essence of TSS is the ability to precisely control the high temperature to ensure rapid “shock” heating. Generally, the temperature, duration, and ramping rate can be independently controlled for specific heating requirements.

Since high-temperature heating is ubiquitously used for reactions and materials synthesis, innovative TSS processes have been discovered and demonstrated, including microwave, laser, rapid radiative heating, and discharge flash heating, enabling synthesis of diverse emerging materials, such as single atom and alloyed catalysts, high entropy alloy nanoparticles, nanoscale composites, battery cathodes and anodes, and high-quality graphene, etc.
