Bacteria have special bio-mechanism to resist toxic heavy metals. This study investigated metal tolerance potentials of bacterial isolates from solid waste dumping sites (Abaji, Bwari, Gosa, Gwagwalada, Kuje, and Kwali) in Abuja, Nigeria. Soil samples were randomly collected each location using soil augers at depths 0 – 15, 15 35 45 cm. They analyzed bacteriologically cultural/biochemical techn...

This study has analyzed the generation and characteristics of solid waste in Dhaka city, along with the associated environmental impacts and existing solid waste management practices. Special focus was given on the effect of composting on final disposal of solid waste and effect of landfill site location on transportation cost. An estimate of the future generation rate indicates that the presen...

Kinin studies were performed in six patients with vasomotor dumping after gastric surgery and in six control patients who had had similar surgical procedures without subsequent dumping. Depletion of the precursor, kininogen, was found in all the patients with dumping and increased free plasma kinin activity in four after a 50-g carbohydrate meal which precipitated an attack. No significant chan...

The use of landfills has been applauded in municipal solid waste management as a critical solution to open dumping and burning. Selection suitable landfill sites presents challenge it involves integration numerous criteria sustainability template without prejudice the environment. aim this paper is delineate appropriate for basement complex Ado-Ekiti, South-western Nigeria. need that meet scien...

This article reviews the results of comprehensive investigations conducted in our laboratory, Center for Marine Environmental Studies (CMES), Ehime University over the past three decades on the distribution, sources, temporal trends and toxic impacts of the bioaccumulative persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Asia-Pacific region with a particular emphasis on the developing countries. Pro...

BACKGROUND The purposes of this paper were to examine whether patient dumping has occurred under the National Health Insurance and to explore hospital administrators' attitudes toward the practice of patient dumping in Taiwan. METHODS The study subjects were administrators in general hospitals that were accredited by the Taiwan Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation as medical centers, re...

dumping (Walker et al., 1962; Howe, 1964; Silver et al., 1965; Zeitlin and Smith, 1966). In two patients raised free plasma kinins were not found during a dumping attack. This is probably due to loss of activity during collection of samples owing to the extremely short half-life of bradykinin in vivo (15 seconds). Our results support the findings of Zeitlin and Smith (1966) and provide further ...

Anti-dumping rules are flexible and open to political bias. This is a concern repeated all over the world. All jurisdictions tailor their anti-dumping laws to WTO rules, but this still leaves a significant amount of discretion as to how decisions are made. In the EU, the lack of transparency in anti-dumping decision making further heightens suspicions that it is not always driven by sound econo...
