    Performance studies of two different cements were carried out by electrochemical and non electrochemical techniques on concrete specimens exposed to natural, polluted and marine environments. It was observed that ordinary Portland cement (OPC), showed better performance than Portland pozzolona cement (PPC). Microbiological examination was conducted and found that 10 micro-organisms were present in the sewage. Out of these, sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) mainly led to deterioration in the concret

    Empyema thoracis by Nocardia farcinica infection is uncommon. Here we report a rare and fatal infection in a 27-year-old HIV- seropositive male who presented with cough, expectoration, and breathlessness. Nocardia farcinica was isolated from sputum and pus from the pleural cavity. Confirmation of the isolate and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for various antibiotics was done at the Aerobic Actinomycetes Reference Laboratory, Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta. Patient was treated with suitable antibiotics and antiretroviral drugs in spite of which he eventually succumbed to the disease

    This paper dealswith the separation of oil and water to find out the better solution for oil recovery from the water surface mistureEmpressoil spillto produce oil free water. Also a deal with the fabrication of mechanical equipment to separate oil from the water. Oil and water separator is mechanical equipment, which is used in the environment pollution control from oil spillage. Oil separator helps in removing the oily from the mixingsurface leaked water. By removing the oil from industry misturewater, it becomes free of oil pollution. This is mainly due to acrylic material used in the oil separator. This oil separator can be used in the effluent treatment plant
