In this paper the kinetics of biogas production was studied by performing a series of laboratory experiments using different lignocellulosic biomass mixed with fresh cattle dung at three different temperatures. Laboratory digesters each of 1000 ml capacity were used for the laboratory experiments in batch mode. Five different types of lignocellulosic biomasses such as bamboo dust, saw dust, sug...

Recent modelling work shows that the composition of local communities can be influenced by the configuration of the surrounding landscape, but many of these models assume that all community members display the same type of extinction-colonization dynamics. I use Aphodius dung beetles to test the hypothesis that interspecific differences in habitat selection and dispersal capacity may translate ...

Biogas is a mixture of several gases produced from the process overhauling organic materials by microorganisms in state without air or anaerobically. This study aims to analyze production and quality biogas tofu liquid waste with cow dung. The was conducted 4 treatments, namely 80% water + 20% dung (T80K20), 70% (T70K30), 60% 40% cattle (T60K40), 50% (T50K50). Each replicated 3 times data analy...

In the present work bagasse (B) i.e waste of the sugar industry, was fed to Eisenia fetida with cattle dung (CD) support as feed material at various ratios (waste: CD) of 0:100 (B0), 25:75 (B25), 50:50 (B50), 75:25 (B75) and 100:0 (B100) on dry weight basis. Co-composting with cattle dung helped to improve their acceptability for E. fetida and also improved physico-chemical characteristics. Bes...

Eumycetoma is a traumatic fungal infection in tropical and subtropical areas that may lead to severe disability. Madurella mycetomatis is one of the prevalent etiologic agents in arid Northeastern Africa. The source of infection has not been clarified. Subcutaneous inoculation from plant thorns has been hypothesized, but attempts to detect the fungus in relevant material have remained unsuccess...

Manure application to land and deposition of urine dung by grazing animals are major sources ammonia (NH3) nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Using data on NH3 N2O emissions following land-applied manures excreta deposited during grazing, emission factors (EFs) disaggregated climate zone were developed, the effects mitigation strategies evaluated. The represent from cattle swine in temperate wet cl...
