Meanwhile, a container train service was launched by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousuf Raza Gilani between Islamabad and Istanbul on 14 August 2009. The first train carried 20 containers with a capacity of around 750t (738 long tons; 827 short tons) and will travel 6,500 km from Islamabad, through Tehran, Iran and on to Istanbul in two weeks' time. According to the Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, after the trial of the container train service, a passenger train will be launched. There are also hopes the route will eventually provide a link to Europe and Central Asia, and carry passengers. Terminals such as airports, ports, and stations, are locations where passengers and freight can be transferred from one vehicle or mode to another.

Small leaks of hazardous chemicals or pressure build-ups can be identified and fixed before they become serious problems. Identifying and fixing leaks of fluids reduces corrosion and minimizes maintenance costs. IoT-enabled detection systems are also used to monitor chemical factories, nuclear facilities, and mining operations. In the new IoT world, ensuring that systems are performing the correct and intended functions can be essential to human safety. The freedom and flexibility of IoT devices also provides new opportunities for attackers to abuse devices. Attackers once had to be physically present, controlling one device at a time.

With advances in machine learning and analytics, along with access to varied and vast amounts of data stored in the cloud, businesses can gather insights faster and more easily. The emergence of these allied technologies continues to push the boundaries of IoT and the data produced by IoT also feeds these technologies. For example, Google has put an AI in charge of its data centre cooling system. The AI uses data pulled from thousands of IoT sensors, which is fed into deep neural networks, and which predict how different choices will affect future energy consumption. By using machine learning and AI, Google has been able to make its data centres more efficient and said the same technology could have uses in other industrial settings. An IoT device will likely contain one or more sensors which it will use to collect data.

In coastal West Africa, farmers, usually women, plant corn soon after the first rains of the growing season. The heat from the fire makes the soil easy to turn, and the burned vegetation fertilizes it. The farmer then sows kernels of corn saved from the previous year’s harvest. They use the bulk of the food they produce for themselves and their families, unlike commercial farmers, who only grow crops to sell.

The scientists who formed this firm study fungi that live symbiotically within plants. They believe they have found one, whose natural partner is panic grass, a coastal species, which confers salinity-resistance when transferred to crops such as rice. Livestock accounts for 40 percent of the agricultural sector and 9 percent of the total GDP. That same year Pakistan generated 970,000 tons of beef, 640,000 tons of mutton, and 190,000 tons of poultry.
