Concrete, the world's most commonly used construction material, is a heterogeneous structure made up of a variety of easily available basic building materials such as cement, coarse & fine aggregate, water, and, depending on the application, admixtures or other additives. When these ingredients are combined, a gel mass is formed that can be conveniently moulded into any shape. When the concrete is properly cured, it forms a matrix that holds the other materials together to create a solid stone-like substance known as concrete. Because of its resilience, rigidity, longevity, mouldability, performance, and economy, concrete is a flexible, durable, and long-lasting material used extensively in the building industry. For centuries, humans have used concrete in their ground breaking architectural feats. Cement is one of the most important glueing ingredients used by the building industry, mostly for concrete in large quantities, and its manufacture results in substantial carbon dioxide emissions; one tonne of cement generates approximately one tonne of carbon dioxide. There are two basic types of cement manufacturing processes, as well as a variety of kiln types. Depending on the water content of the raw material feedstock, these are referred to as "wet" or "dry." The wet process requires more energy to evaporate the 30 percent plus slurry water before heating the raw materials to the necessary calcination temperature. Due to shifts in habits, preferences, and society, the need for a sustainable alternative to traditional bricks is increasingly increasing, not just in metro cities but also in rural and urban areas. However, incorporating these additional materials into the building industry is extremely difficult. The technical properties of such materials containing such manufacturing wastes would necessitate a significant amount of ana. The aim is to use waste from the toothpaste industry as a substitute cementitious-material in concrete, partially replacing cement and sand, and as an alternative to virgin/mineral materials/natural resources in bricks, i.e. replacing clay.

When Surinder Kumar was growing up in post-partition India, his father, Kanshi Ram Arora, was known as Master Ji, or respected teacher. In the years that followed Britains departure and the challenges that faced a newly reconstructed nation, Kanshi Ram helped his village grow out of poverty and deprivation. He did this by imbuing his family and his community with a set of principles that set many of them on a path to success beyond their wildest dreams. Today, Surinder Kumar is an enormously successful businessperson, having served prominent roles with Wrigley, PepsiCo, and Unilever. He ties his accomplishments directly to the principles he learned from his father as a child - principles he believes apply to everyone. Now, Surinder brings the lessons of Master Ji to you in this powerful and inspiring book. Through sixteen brief chapters brimming with universal advice, he offers you the teachings that took him from the depths of poverty to a life of great professional and personal accomplishment. Filled with exercises and practical applications, Everything You Need Is Within You is a treasure of a book that will resonate within you and the generations to come.

Essentials of Microbiology is an extensive guide to all aspects of microbiology covering immunology, bacteriology, virology, medical mycology, diagnostic medical microbiology, and many miscellaneous infections.The book is divided into 89 chapters across seven sections. Each chapter begins with an outline and concludes with key points, multiple choice, short and long questions. Two bacteriology sections are included, the first covering the basics of general bacteriology, and the second covering systemic bacteriology, with discussion on the classification, antigen structure, toxins and enzymes, and laboratory diagnosis of various kinds of bacteria.The virology section covers virus structure, classification and evolution, their interaction with host organism physiology and immunity, the diseases they cause, and their use in research and therapy. The mycology section covers fungal infections, and amongst miscellaneous infections covered are microbes of the human body, hospital-acquired infections and hospital waste management.Essentials of Microbiology is enhanced by over 200 images and illustrations and 181 tables. The final chapter on practical microbiology for MBBS students makes this book ideal for medical undergraduates.Key PointsComprehensive guide to microbiologyCovers immunology, bacteriology, virology, medical mycology, diagnostic medical microbiology, and many miscellaneous infections208 images and illustrations, 181 tables 

Correlates basic science with clinical practice through review questions placed at the end of each chapter. Each chapter consists of learning objectives at the beginning. Know more, key points and suggestions for further reading are given at the end for exam preparation and revision.
