A comparative study was conducted between exotic and local (epigeic--Eisenia fetida and anaecic--Lempito mauritii, respectively) species of earthworms for the evaluation of their efficacy in vermicomposting of municipal solid waste (MSW). Vermicomposting of MSW for 42 days resulted in significant difference between the two species in their performance measured as loss in total organic carbon, c...

Stellar-mass BHs (sBHs) are predicted to be embedded in active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks due gravitational drag and in-situ star formation. However, we find that a high gas density an AGN disk environment, compact objects may rapidly grow intermediate-mass deplete matter from the unless accretion is suppressed by some feedback process(es). These consequences inconsistent with observations dyn...

Abstract During the feeding of mulberry silkworms, when temperature in larvae fluctuates sharply and amount nutrients fed is below or above norm, metabolism physiological processes body are disrupted. As a result, silk cocoon water balance, respiration, digestion absorption impaired, activity glands creating conditions for disease-causing microorganisms. In this case, growth silkworms by 4 time...

the domesticated silkworm, bombyx mori linn., a lepidopteran molecular model and an important economic insect that are emerging as an ideal molecular genetic resource for solving a broad range of biological problems. the silkworm, b. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development. these proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are dischar...
