in the process of vermicomposting, the earthworms eisenia fetida have been exposed to various metals with different concentrations to study the effects on worms’ bioaccumulation. the study was carried within 14 days of exposure. five different chemical compounds in various concentrations were added as mixture solutions to the experimental containers. metals concentrations were measured in earth...

objective(s): adsorption of immucillin-a (bcx4430) molecule on the pristine and n-doped tio2 anatase nanoparticles were studied using the density functional theory (dft) calculations. the adsorption energy analysis indicated that tio2+immucillin-a complexes including oc-substituted tio2 have higher adsorption energy than the complexes with ot substituted tio2, thus providing more stable configu...
