It happened 1800 years ago. The chaotic arrangement was accepted and later became the only way to arrange Paul's letters. As a result, we cannot know what the New Testament is saying. We have never seen the church of Century One. We do not know what happened in the first Christian century. We have no model of the first-century from which to work. Counterwise, we have been creating Christian practices made up of the short passages from the New Testament, never seeing the entire panoramic saga. Unleashing the Word of God is a must read.

The fundamental mode of communication among humans is speech and in the case of machine-human interface; verbal language has been believed as the natural method. When communication with machines is carried out, it is very difficult and slow-moving in magnitude when realized via keyboards, mouses and other devices. Thus, speech feed-in is an important constituent to making this communication easily accessible. Also, humans see speech as a great source of information. Therefore, persons who are not literate or have vague about computers can easily access computers by employing speech instructions. Even people with some physical disability who are not able to type or click with their hands can use their speech to operate the computer. Even people who are proficient in operating computers can speed up data entry, sending emails and other documents using the speech input methods. Furthermore, this mode of operation possesses many advantages. For example, while driving, the hands of the driver are busy steering the driving wheel and he cannot type on his mobile. In such a case speech is a good input option. GPS (Global Positioning System) is an example of a speech-based system being used. Another example is speech-enabled dialing, where the user can just ask the device to call a particular person, without dialing his number.The common and efficient means of communication among humans is through 'speech'. To process speech means to extract useful information from it, processing includes the implementation of electric signals on the acoustic pressure waves collected from human vocalization and applying mathematical analysis to it. The field of processing speech involves the natural operation of analysing speech, coding, augmentation, synthesis, and recognition. Analysis of speech is the study of its creation mechanism to make a mathematical model of physical phenomena. Speech coding aims to keep information about specific speech parameters for later retrieval. The method of refining precision and quality of speech which is noisy utilises various algorithms is recognized as speech enhancement [2]. Producing artificial human speech using coded information is known as the synthesis of speech. The method of inverse synthesis is the capability of a program or machine to classify the linguistic contents mixed up in the speech signal.

One of the major reasons for decline in agriculture is the large-scale nutrient depletion through crop harvest and low level of replenishments through inadequate nutrient use causing negative nutrient balance in the system. Deterioration in the physical and biological properties of soil is further with holding crop yield. At present, Indian agriculture is facing with a major problem of declining factor productivity. It needed immediate remedial measures to ensure food security at present and in the coming years for the long time. To achieve the goal of improving agricultural growth rate, we have to stream line the practices of nutrient management, which require intensive forms of soil and crop which will increase the efficiency of production inputs and protect the environment as well as soil health. Moreover, during the past several decades' agriculture development mainly focused on short term gains in productivity and profitability which has caused several damage to soil fertility, health and environment. These changes motivated tochange in farming practices.Organic farming seems to be a viable alternative because it enable the soil,strengthen the natural resource base and sustains the biological production at differentlevels. However, it requires large-scale organic manures and bio fertilizers. Acute shortage of conventional bulky organic manures like compost, FYM, dung, oil cakes etc. also necessitates the exploitation of other organic sources.Weeds are plant which are unwanted to crop and other livings, they are found in abundant quantity in crop fields, non-cropped areas, as well as in water bodies. These weeds are rich in organic matter and contain handsome quantity of plant nutrients. Though, the much attention has not been paid in order to harness the potential of these weeds and wastes generation from agriculture farm as a source of organic manure. Obnoxious weed viz. Ipomea, Waterhyacinth, Parthenium etc. are growing and spreading at alarming rate under non cropped and aquatic ecology. They are nuisance at their growing place and have not any economic importance in our livelihood.

Polymeric membranes are extensively used in various applications such as water treatment, wastewater treatment, desalination, and other filtration processes. However, their performance is often compromised due to the attachment of bacteria on their surfaces, leading to biofouling and membrane fouling. Therefore, developing strategies to control bacterial attachment on polymeric membranes is crucial for maintaining their efficiency and longevity. In this book, Several Strategies have been explore to minimize bacterial attachment, including surface modifications to make the membranes more antifouling, self-cleaning, and resistant to biofilm formation.These modifications can be achieved through the incorporation of hydrophilic, hydrophobic, or zwitterionic materials, as well as using nanotechnology-based methods. Biocides and disinfectants have also been used to prevent bacterial attachment, although their usage is limited due to environmental concerns.Cleaning the membranes is also an important aspect of maintaining their performance. Membrane cleaning methods such as filtration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis can help remove bacteria and other contaminants from the membrane surface. However, frequent cleaning can also damage the membrane and reduce its lifespan, highlighting the need for fouling-resistant membranes.Membrane bioreactors have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional wastewater treatment methods. In this process, biofilm formation on the membrane surface is encouraged to promote biodegradation of organic matter. Bio-inspired materials that mimic the surface charge, surface energy, and surface topography of biological organisms have also been developed to minimize bacterial adhesion. The attachment of bacteria on the membrane surface is influenced by various factors, including surface charge, surface energy, surface topography, microbial communities, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Quorum sensing and other signaling mechanisms also play a critical role in the formation of biofilms.Therefore, understanding the microbial ecology and physiology is crucial for developing effective strategies to control bacterial attachment. Overall, the control of bacterial attachment on polymeric membranes is a complex issue that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Strategies to prevent biofouling and membrane fouling should be developed while considering environmental impact, biodegradation, and the antimicrobial resistance of bacteria. The use of microbial adhesion and microbial physiology research can aid in the development of new strategies for effective bacterial attachment control.
