Recent university research has shown that a compost system can reduce storm runoff, sediment and nutrient loss, and increase vegetation and soil quality parameters relative to industry standard best management practices. State departments of transportation and construction companies have reported positive results in using compost as a filter media within filter socks. Compost used as a sediment...

Collection of storm water runoff and forcing it into the groundwater is the need of the hour to sustain the ground water table. However, the runoff entraps various types of sediments and other floating objects whose removal are essential to avoid pollution of ground water and blocking of pores of aquifer. However, it requires regular cleaning and maintenance due to problem of clogging. To evalu...

Total coliform counts obtained by means of standard membrane filtration techniques, using MacConkey agar, m-Endo LES agar, Teepol agar, and pads saturated with Teepol broth as growth media, were compared. Various combinations of these media were used in tests on 490 samples of river water and city wastewater after different stages of conventional purification and reclamation processes including...

This paper describes the architectural extensions to the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture to enable 64-bit processing of integers and pointers. It also describes MAX, the Multi-media Acceleration eXtensions which speed up the processing of multimedia and other applications with parallelism at the intra instruction, or subword, level. Other additions to the PA-RISC 2.0 architecture include performance e...
