OBJECTIVES A balance between fibrinolysis and coagulation is crucial for maintaining haemostasis. A haemostatic disorder leads to various physiological changes and causes different diseases. Glycolipoprotein mixture (G-90), prepared from the tissue homogenate of the earthworm Eisenia foetida, was examined in vivo, in an animal study (conducted on Wistar rats) in order to determine its fibrinoly...

A kommunális szennyvíziszap környezetileg fenntartható kezelése a mai környezetgazdálkodás egyik kiemelkedően fontos feladata. Az utóbbi időben földigiliszták hulladékkezelésben való felhasználásának technológiája (a vermikomposztálás) egyre elterjedtebb technológia. giliszták anyagcseréjüknek köszönhetően eltávolítják az elöregedő baktérium populációkat iszapból, így teret engedve újabb baktér...

Municipal biosolids and agricultural limestone were incorporated into the surface of alluvial highly acidic, metal-contaminated mine tailings in Leadville, CO, in 1998. Amended sites were seeded and a plant cover was subsequently established. A range of chemical and biological parameters were measured over time to determine if treatment was sufficient to restore ecosystem function. An uncontami...

Vegetable oils and their derivatives, like biodiesel, are used extensively throughout the world, thus posing an environmental risk when disposed. Toxicity testing using test organisms shows how these residues affect ecosystems. Toxicity tests using earthworms (Eisenia foetida) are widespread because they are a practical resource for analyzing terrestrial organisms. For phytotoxicological analys...

Solucan kompostlama işlemi, hayvansal ve bitkisel kaynaklı atıkların geri dönüşümü için uygulanan çevre dostu bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmada elma işleme atıklarından elde edilen kompost karışımları solucanlara besi maddesi olarak verilmiştir. Çalışma deseninde yer alan 5 farklı solucan (SK) karışımının her birine 500 adet yetişkin Eisenia foetida türü bırakılmış, proses boyunca yetişin sayıları ar...

Vegetables are a rich source of nutrients. Fresh vegetables like French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are known for their high protein content, fibre, water and mineral composition. They are also good source of vitamins like Ascorbic acid and Riboflavin and minerals like calcium and phosphorus. In view of the growing awareness regarding health the French beans are recommended for regular diet as v...
