    These paper is discusses about implementation of sewage water in construction. As per ISI, water demand for residential building is more than commercial building. As we know in residential building water is uses for various things such as for kitchen, bath room, drinking, washing clothes and utensils, toilet flushing etc. Sewage water is the water which collected from kitchen sink, bathroom water which are used for these create a waste. The paper discuses about how we can use that waste water in construction. If instead of creating waste, we are doing recycling of that sewage water and used in construction. If we do recycling of waste water then automatically the demand of water required for construction is automatically decreases. The paper discuses about sewage water treatment with the use of Biosanitizer Ecochips ad its implementation in construction. Also the paper discuses about the experimental research on implementation of sewage water in construction.The paper are discusses the study of effect of raw sewage water and treated sewage water on concrete strength. In ecological approach, ecochips are used for recycling of waste water. Use of treated waste water gives strength to concrete.The paper also discusses the economical point of view for using Ecochips for raw sewage water treatment. These paper has gives guidelines to carry out study of implementation of sewage water in construction field and useful to reduces the water problem in construction field also helps to reduce the total water demand loa

    Hydrodynamics of bubble flow through a porous medium with applications to packed bed reactors

    Full text link
    Gas-liquid flows through packed bed reactors (PBRs) are challenging to predict due to the tortuous flow paths that fluid interfaces must traverse. Experiments at the International Space Station showed that bubble and pulse flows are predominately observed under microgravity conditions, while trickle and spray flows observed under terrestrial conditions, are not present in microgravity. Toward understanding the physics behind the latter experiments, we simulate bubble flow through a PBR for different packing-particle-diameter-based Weber numbers and under different gravity conditions. We demonstrate different pore-scale mechanisms such as capillary entrapment, buoyancy entrapment, and inertia-induced bubble displacement. Then, we perform a quantitative analysis by introducing a new dynamic length scale, dependent upon the evolving gas-liquid interfacial area, to understand the dynamic trade-offs between the inertia, capillary, and buoyancy forces on a bubble passing through a PBR. This analysis leads us to define new dimensionless Weber-like numbers that delineate bubble entrapment from bubble displacement.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figure

    Synthesizing Conservation Motivations and Barriers: What Have We Learned from Qualitative Studies of Farmers’ Behaviors in the United States?

    Since 2011, qualitative studies examining adoption of conservation practices and programs (CPPs) have burgeoned. This article presents a systematic review of all U.S.-based qualitative investigations into CPP adoption since 1996. We found three themes are discussed primarily as motivating adoption: farmer characteristics, environmental awareness, and trust in information sources. Four themes are discussed primarily as barriers to adoption: farm management, negative perceptions of a conservation practice, perceptions that adoption is a risk, and land tenure. Four themes were discussed as both motivations and barriers: economic factors, social norms, perceptions of government programs, and farm characteristics. Overall, we found farmers’ economic and management needs and their perceived and actual limitations to conservation behavior influenced adoption. Implications of our findings for policymakers and practitioners include promoting systems-based conservation strategies and stressing the benefits of conservation practices

    A case of subtrochanteric femur fracture nonunion with failed implant in situ treated with exchange nailing using interlock nail and autologous bone grafting: a case report

    Get PDF
    Subtrochanteric femur fracture accounts for 25% of all hip fracture and may land up in non-union due to the inadequate reduction and fixation tech, local muscle pull over fragments, biomechanical stress in subtrochanteric region and soft tissue interposition etc., non-union are managed with various choices of implants like exchange nailing , angle blade plate , dynamic condylar screw, augmentation of previous hardware with plate and by providing biological environments at fracture site using  bone graft. Strict adherence to principles of providing stability to fracture and providing environment for bony growth gives good clinical outcome. A 52 years old male with subtrochanteric femur fracture was operated with long PFN, later presented to us after 18 months with failure of the hardware and atrophic non-union manifesting as pain during walking and limping. Patient was operated with removal of implant and exchange nailing using femur interlock nail and autologous bone grafting from iliac crest graft. 1 year follow up showed complete bony union and abundant of callus formation. Patient is currently doing all the daily activities and have no complaints at present. At 1 year follow up there is complete union at non-union site and good clinical outcome is achieved. Exchange nailing with interlock nail and autologous bone grafting for treatment of atrophic non-union of subtrochanteric femur fractures gives good clinical outcome

    Isolation and Purification of C-phycocyanin From Nostoc Muscorum (Cyanophyceae and Cyanobacteria) Exhibits Antimalarial Activity in Vitro

    The phycobilin pigments are intensively fluorescent and water soluble. They are categorized into three types, such as pigments containing high, intermediate and low energies are phycoerythrins (phycoerythrocyanins), phycocyanins and allophycocyanins, respectively. Besides light harvesting, the phycobiliproteins have shown industrial and biomedical importance. Among them, C-phycocyanin (C-PC) has been considered to be the most preferred one. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antimalarial activity of C-PC isolated from a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium and Nostoc muscorum. C-PC was extracted and purified by acetone extraction and ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis followed by amicon filtration. It was isolated as a~124 kDa water soluble protein molecule. It showed antimalarial activity in vitro against chloroquine sensitive and resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. Inhibitory concentrations at 50%, 90% and 95% were determined as 10.27±2.79, 53.53±6.26 and 73.78±6.92 µg/ml against the chloroquine-sensitive strains; 10.37±1.43, 56.99±11.07 and 72.79±8.59 µg/ml against chloroquine resistant of Plasmodium falciparum strains. C-PC was found to have antimalarial activity even at a concentration of 3.0µg/ml. The possible mechanism might be relied on the destruction of polymerization of haemozoin by binding of C-PC with ferriprotoporphyrin-IX at the water surface of the plasma membrane
