This is a two pronged toxicological study of the chemical and microbiological quality of samples of borehole water collected from several locations across Satellites Towns of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria for comparison with WHO stipulated standards for drinking water. Ten locations in all the satellites towns scarcely supplied with public pipe-borne water supply were randomly selected and two sampling points per location were investigated. The water samples collected were subjected to elemental and microbiological analysis using standard procedures. The chemical assay indicate the concentration in part per million (ppm) of lead (Pb) ranges from 0.2635 – 3.828; cadmium (Cd) ranges from 0.0094 – 0.0335; magnesium (Mg) ranges range from 0.0029 – 1.3800; and copper (Cu) ranges from 0.0028 – 0.0776. Microbiological assay showed that the water sample with the highest level of total coliform count ranges from 0–460 CFU/ml; further bioassay revealed the presence of Klebsiella pneumonia, Klebsiella planticola, Salmonella arizona, Citrobacter preundi and Escherichia coli. The study opined that the mean concentration of Pb and Cd to be higher than the WHO maximum acceptable limits while Cu and Mg were within limits. This leaded water samples were with confirmed unacceptable levels of coliforms (E. coli). Pollution in microbiological and chemical quality of these borehole water investigated poses grave public health consequences to the water consuming population of the Satellites Towns assessed.<#LINE#>\"Water Scarcity.

A series of Mannich bases of 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide (4a-4j) were synthesized via Mannich reaction of 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide with primary/secondary amines and formaldehyde. After characterization of Mannich bases by spectroscopic techniques i.e. UV, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, compounds of series (4a-4j) were screened against pathogen K. pneumoniae. Sulfonamides that used as primary amine during synthesis of mannich bases were also screened against pathogen K. pneumonia and results obtained were compared with synthesized mannich bases. Antibacterial activities of synthesized Mannich bases and sulfonamides have been determined in term of ‘zone of inhibition’. Result obtained shows some of newly synthesized Mannich bases have potent antibacterial activity against pathogen K. pneumoniae.<#LINE#>Mannich C. and Krösche W.

Termed as \'Big data’, this bulk of information can be really helpful in dealing with future shortcomings or present case scenarios if used in the best way. Although many methods have been developed for its processing and some are still being developed, One of the ways to tame big data is by predictive data analytics. It has found many applications at management level and IT corporations and its believed that its incorporation can be of great significance in the field of mechanical engineering too, as it not only gives a futuristic approach of handling a situation but also helps to predict the shortcomings and results in any operation. Predictive analytics often known as the future way of reducing the data. It works on various techniques including statistics to study various types of data including recent and past data and thus helps in making predictions about what might happen in future. In this study, we have analyzed a privately operated boiler feed plant its data variations and the use of 3 way decision tree model to look for prediction into a boiler plant efficiency while varying the variables. With its help we will segregate the variables based on all values of sub variables and identify that variable, which has greater significance on the final output i.e the efficiency. Currently though the use of data analytics in the field of mechanical engineering is significantly less, it looks like its use in most of mechanical engineering sector might prove to be a boon for this field making working more efficient and results more desirable.<#LINE#>Kulkarni Parag, Joshi Sarang and Brown Meta S.

Every year, the number of Compression Ignition engine automobiles is on the rise. So, there is an urgent need for combating the pollution from these vehicles. Two types of methods can be used for this purpose: One is based on pre-pollution control and the other is based on post pollution control using a device called catalytic converter. The present research paper is completely based on the detail analysis of a catalytic converter and its utility in controlling the pollution by effective reduction of the released exhaust emissions from automobiles. It paves the way the way for designing a suitable catalytic converter as per the given requirements which will effectively reduce the exhaust emissions level emitted to the atmosphere.<#LINE#>Gilmour P., Ziesenis A., Morrison E., Vickers M., Drost E. and Ford I.

Air pollution effect on living things. The main component due to which air pollution is increasing are carbon- dioxide, which is get exposed from vehicles and other harmful gases which is comes out from the big factories, electric power, generation plants, big industries etc. So it is important to solve these problems by taking serious steps. Aqua silencer is the one of the step taken in reduce the air pollution. It is fitted to exhaust pipe of engine. These silencer are used to reduce the noise and control the emission of harmful gases. The aqua silencer reduces emission noise because, the sound produced in aqua silencer under water having less amplitude than the sound produced in open atmosphere. This is happen because of in water molecules there are small sprockets which lowers amplitude of emission gases and lower the level of sound. The layer of charcoal which is pasted over perforated tube can control the emission by using the activated charcoal and highly porous extra free valences because these layer having high absorption capacity.<#LINE#>Balashanmugam P. and Balasubramanian G.

The pleasing shape and the variety of flower colors make morning glory an ideal ornamental plant for tropics and subtropics. The genus Ipomoea contributes as largest genus of this family, having a wide range of economic important plant species. The medicinal value of this genus is also noteworthy as many species are useful for treatment of various alignments such as constipation, inflammations, dysentery, rheumatism, meningitis, diabeties and hypertension. This genus also shows antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-cancerous activities. Bioactive compounds such as glycolipids, lignans, phenolic compounds and alkaloids are major constituents of this genus.
