Military Engineer Services (Pakistan). Military Engineer Services (, "MES") is an inter-service organization of the Ministry of Defence responsible primarily for engineering and construction services for the Pakistan Armed Forces, including the Army, Navy, Airforce and the Ministry of Defense Production. Furthermore, it is involved in complex construction projects including hospitals, buildings, workshops, roads etc.

History 
The organization's roots traces back to the 19th century with the foundation of the British Indian Army, a Public Works Department was established in the mid-1850s to oversee engineering and construction works while under the control of the Military Board and manned by personnel from the Engineering Corps. It had three branches, Military Works Branch and Civil Works Branch. In 1899, the organization was renamed as Military Works Services and placed under direct command of the Director General Military Works (DGMW). It was finally termed to its current name in 1923. By this time, the organization of the Engineer-in-Chief for British India was based on the workload of the MES. It was divided into four regional commands:-
Northern Command (Headquarters at Rawalpindi)
Central Command (Headquarters at Agra)
Southern Command (Headquarters at Poona)
Eastern Command (Headquarters at Calcutta)

After Independence of Pakistan in 1947, the armed forces reconstitution committee divided the former British Indian Armed Forces which resulted with Pakistan receiving most of Northern Command as part of its share. Between 1958 and 1960, the Military Engineering Services saw notable restructuring with its sub-branches being established after approval by the Ministry of Defense.

Known projects 
In 2023, the MES under the supervision of Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) initiated a major power project for the military cantonments in Pakistan. The project which has been approved by the Government of Pakistan, National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) will include collaboration with private companies including Nizam Energy, Solis Energy Solutions, and Foundation Solar Energy for the construction of solar power plants in order to shift energy dependence of cantonments from expensive sources to cheap renewable energy.

Philip Arnold Anthony. Philip Arnold Anthony CMG (1873 – 16 July 1949) was a British railway engineer who was head of the Federated Malay States Railways from 1910 to 1924. While in office, he oversaw the considerable development of the railway network in Malaya.

Early life and education 
Anthony was born in 1873 in Plymouth, the son of Rev Frederick Anthony. He was educated at Mill Hill School.

Career 
Anthony joined the engineering department of Great Western Railway in 1894 and remained with the company until 1910, serving as resident engineer in connection with the company's route to the West of England.

In 1910, Anthony was appointed general manager and chief engineer of Federated Malay States Railways by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, succeeding Charles Spooner, and remained in office until 1924. During his 14 years in the post, he oversaw the considerable expansion and improvement of the rail network in Malaya. Notable achievements included: the opening of the through service to Bangkok (1918); the opening of the Johore Causeway which created a direct rail link between Singapore and the mainland (1923); the extension of the Eastern Railway through undeveloped jungle territory; major improvement works at Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Prai; the opening of the Penang Hill Railway (1923), and the completion of the Guillemard Bridge over the Kelantan River, then the largest railway bridge in Malaya.

From 1915-16, Anthony was seconded by Federated Malay States Railways to the Ministry of Munitions. In 1918, he was granted a Royal Commission to enquire into and report on the workings of the South Australian Railways for the Australian government.

After resigning as head of Federated Malay States Railways in 1925, he was sent by the Colonies Office to report on the working of the Palestine Railways, and in the following year, acted as chief engineer to the Crown Agents for the Colonies in Nyasaland, advising the government on questions of railway extensions, surveys and river navigation. In 1927, he set up in private practice as a consulting engineer in London.

Personal life and death 
Anthony married Edith John and they had two daughters.

Anthony died on 16 July 1949 in Otford, Kent.

Honours 
Anthony was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 1918 New Year Honours.

UTY EMU-250. UTY EMU-250 is the high-speed electric multiple unit trainset derived from the South Korean KTX family for Afrosiyob, Uzbekistan's high-speed rail line. The trains will be manufactured in South Korea by Hyundai Rotem, marking the first time South Korean KTX trains export overseas. This export model to Uzbekistan will be partially modified from the KTX-Eum to suit local conditions in the country.

History 
On June 14, 2024, Hyundai Rotem won a KR₩270 billion order for the Supply and Maintenance of Distributed Power High-Speed rail from the Uzbek Railways (UTY). Specifically, the company signed a contract to supply vehicles and provide maintenance (2 years of light maintenance and 9 months of heavy maintenance) to the Uzbek Railways, and the railways of both countries and the company of Hyundai Rotem signed a Memorandum of understanding (MOU) for high-speed rail operation and maintenance.

A total of 42 units (6 trains) of UTY EMU-250, based on the KTX-Eum model, will be delivered, with the first train scheduled for April 2027, and all 6 trains scheduled for operation in September of the same year.

Specifications 
UTY EMU-250 is 175m long per train and can accommodate up to 389 seats. Also, KTX-Eum or EMU-250 will be improved according to the Uzbekistan's needs. The main differences are as follows.

If the UTY EMU-250 is introduced in Uzbekistan, it will be the country's first multiple unit. The reason for the addition of steps for boarding and disembarking inside the vehicle is that the station platform height in Uzbekistan is 200mm, which is relatively lower than in Korea.

South Korean products account for 87% of vehicle parts.

Ammonium hypoiodite. Ammonium hypoiodites are a class of reactive intermediates used in certain organic oxidation reactions. They consist of either ammonium itself or an alkylammonium with various substituents as cation, paired with a hypoiodite anion as the active oxidant. The hypoiodite is generated in situ from the analogous iodide reagent using peroxides, oxone, peracids, or other strong oxidizing agents. The hypoiodite is then capable of oxidizing various organic substrates. The iodide is regenerated, meaning the reaction runs with the iodide/hypoiodite as a catalyst in the presence of excess of the original strong oxidizing agent.

Ammonium hypoiodites are capable of oxidizing benzylic methyl groups, initiating oxidative dearomatization, and oxidative decarboxylation of β-ketolactones. Similar to the β-ketolactone reaction, oxidative ether formation can be performed at the alpha position of various ketones. Using chiral ammonium cations can give high enantioselectivity of the alpha-etherification reaction, an example of an efficient chiral metal-free organocatalysis process.

Several guanidinium hypoiodites can also be used in the various oxidative-coupling reactions. The guanidinium cation has the added benefit of forming multiple ionic interactions or hydrogen bonds to the substrates. The conjugate acid of triazabicyclodecene is especially effective.

9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide. 9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) is an organophosphorus compound that is used to produce fire retardants.  From the chemistry perspective, it is a derivative of hypophosphorous acid as well as a derivative of phenanthrene.  The reactivity of the P-H center allows for the conjugation of DOPO to many monomers.  Such monomers are incorporated into polymers, conferring fire retardant properties.  It is mainly used for nylon and polyesters, as well as epoxides.

The compound is prepared from 2-phenylphenol, which condenses with one equivalent of phosphorus trichloride. Heating that species in the presence of aluminium trichloride results in cyclization.  The procedure is completed by hydrolysis.
