In the present investigation suggests that screening of heavy metal degradation by microfungi. Some of the microfungi were isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil samples. The percentage degradation was high in Trichoderma viride followed by Aspergillus awamori, A.fumigatus, A.niger, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium sp, P.citrinum, Fusarium sp, F.solani and Trichoderma harzianum were screening. The specific heavy metal such as magnesium sulphate, zinc sulphate, copper sulphate and lead acetate with different concentration of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg/l was treated with PD broth. Among the four heavy metal degradation process with the maximum percentage of magnesium sulphate heavy metal degraded by potential microfungi. However less concentration of heavy metal was maximum percentage of degradation when compared with high concentration because molecular oxidation and reduction process was very easy. The potential microfungi T.viride was excellent degradation not only the low concentration but also high concentration of heavy metal due to the that native isolates of microfungi.

The impacts of superficial mycosis badly affecting the individuals. The nails, hair and skin infections collectively known as dermatophytosis and its creating a social stigma. Both dermatophytes and non dermatophytes are the cause for the nail infections but onychomycosis is a non dermatophytic nail infection. Considerable percentage of the onychomycosis is caused by the candida species .Drug resistant and multi drug resistant candida often isolated from the onychomycosis which interferes in treatment. In view of finding the effective solution for these drug resistant candida strain, The present study was undertaken. Totally 30 numbers of the candida isolates which were originally isolated from the onychomycosis cases were subjected to the antifungal activity of the green synthesized silver nano particles. Terminalia chebula was used in green nano synthesis and reduced silver nitrate bulk materials to nano size materials. It was recorded that the green synthesized silver nanoparticles comparatively shown their best anti candidal activity than aqueous extract of T.chebula and AgNo3 aqueous solution.

In this study a mathematical Analysis is used to estimate the energy efficiencies of cucumber producers based on eight energy inputs including human labor, diesel fuel, machinery, fertilizers, chemicals, water for irrigation, electricity and seed energy and single output of cucumber production. Data were collected using face-to-face surveys from 20 greenhouses in Isfahan province of Iran. Energy indices, technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach for 20 cucumber greenhouses. Total energy input and output were calculated as 163994 MJha-1 and 62496 MJha-1, respectively, whereas diesel fuel consumption with 45.15% was the highestlevel between energy inputs. Energy output-input ratio, energy productivity and net energy gain were 0.38, 0.47 kg MJ?1, -101498MJ ha?1, respectively. Results showed that DEA approach was a very useful tool for benchmarking and improving the energy efficiency in agricultural production. The use of this methodology provides an important knowledge about the wasteful uses of energy.

A well sorted municipal solid waste which was composted and co-composted with other materials such as dewatered faecal sludge and ammonium sulphate as enrichment were used in the amendment of a 15 kg soil contained in 147 (43.2 x 35.6 cm) polythene bags for two cropping seasons. Impact of the dewatered faecal sludge on the speciation of heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd in the co-compost (Co), enriched co-compost (Eco) and garden soils (S) were evaluated. The results of the analysis reveal Co and Eco have about 50 % of Cu, 75 – 80 % of Zn and 80 – 85 % Cd highly bound organically. Lead was 60 % bound to organic fraction in Co and Eco, same as the other composts. The amended soils had 30 – 50 % Cu and 30 % Zn organically bound as the dominant fraction. Lead shifted and was 55 – 65 % dominant in the residual fraction whiles Cd was below detection.

Aneurysms of the axillary artery are rare, most often they are pseudo-aneurysms of post-traumatic origin, The pathophysiology of aneurisms in Behcet’s disease remains poorly understood and rare in axillary localization. We report the case of a patient who consults for signs of nerve compression of the left upper limb due to an axillary aneurysm, the patient suffers also of Behcet's disease, the revealing mode of the aneurysm and the rarity of this complication prompted us to report this interesting observation.

Estuarine diversity is one of the important aquatic diversity. It is a connecting link between the fresh water and marine water resources. Around 70 % of living organism particularly aquatic organism and human beings were presented in the bank of Estuarine. So it's called as rich habitat or livelihood area for all organism and also otherwise called as cradle of culture. Most of culture originated from the bank of rivers and estuarine area. In recent days estuarine diversity has been affected by various aspect like hydro biological activity and seasonal fluctuations, polluting factors and other man made activities. due to this reason estuarine diversity has been changed and de-promoted their nature. In this reason most of aquatic organism especially estuarine diversity decreased their nature of quality and quantity. This study mainly observed the study area diversity and the usage of nearby peoples.

Non human animals are used and exploited by human beings for different purposes such as, agriculture, carrying goods, circus, medical experiment and in laboratory for research activities where they have to suffer more. But against these cruel activities some thinkers have raised their voice. They are in favour of granting rights to them. They thought that being sentient, non human animals have feelings of pleasure and pain and therefore they are right bearers. They are entitled to enjoy their basic interest such as, avoiding suffering. In this paper I shall try to justify that we ought to allow rights to non human animals , particularly right to life.

The main objective of the present paper is to establish certain new formulae in the aspects of Hypergeometric function.

Compressor characteristics, being representations of the compressor pressure ratio as a function of gas flow through the compressor have been studied. Compressors are used in turbochargers to increase the pressure of air and also its density greater than ambient. Choosing the right compressor is very important in obtaining best power output of engine by turbocharging, so it is important to have compressor map for matching turbocharger with a particular engine. Compressor map is drawn by running compressor at varying speeds and mass flows. In this paper compressor characteristics were investigated through CFD analysis.

Cloud computing is the emerging technology in IT industry Cloud Computing helps the startup companies to implement their ideas and grab opportunities without worrying about the capital needed to start their Business plan. It is built on the concept of virtualization, utility computing, networking and Autonomic computing. The aim of this paper is to provide better understanding of the security challenges of cloud computing and analyze the research direction in this widely uses technology affecting people . In this paper, we present the prospect of cloud computing, its architecture and pros and cons of Cloud Computing .
