Impact of Eisenia fetida populations on bioâconversion of paper mill solid wastes by Devjani Mohapatra, K. Sahoo, A. K. Sannigrahi

“…Results Application of more earthworms up to 20 numbers per 2 kg substrate made bio-conversion quicker but further addition of earthworm, however, delayed the process as some earthworms came out of beds and died probably due to competition for food among earthworms inside beds. Ten earthworms per kg paper mill wastesâsaw dustâcow dung mixture (1:0.5:0.5 weight wise) was found as optimum earthworm population for preparing quality vermicompost having more major and secondary plant nutrients. …”

HIGH-EFFICIENCY INFRARED RECEIVER by A. K. Esman, V. I. Kostenko, N. I. Mukhurov, G. L. Zykov, V. A. Potachits

“…The approach to the design of the receivers on the basis of delta-doped low-barrier Schottky diodes with beam leads without bias is especially actively developing because for uncooled receivers of the microwave radiation these diodes have virtually no competition. The purpose of this work is to improve the main parameters and characteristics that determine the practical relevance of the receivers of mid-infrared electromagnetic radiation at the operating room temperature by modifying the electrodes configuration of the diode and optimizing the distance between them. …”
