The only pre-existing studies on the effect of storage on vermicompost [3, 4], have been based on the use of 2-month-old press-mud as feed for earthworms, and assessment of the changes in major nutrients (N, P and K), microbial activity and enzyme activity of the vermicast that was generated.
The reason is that in contrast to vermicomposting - which happens to be the only pre-existing bioprocess used in pollution control that is mediated by a multi-cellular animal - 50% to 60% of the substrate is converted to vermicast, termites produce no 'termicast'termicast
In fact these days only pre-existing, small -- 30 megawatt or less -- hydroelectric generating dams are even considered renewable energy sources.
However, surely it is not only pre-existing psychological problems that are potentially confounding factors.
In multivariate analysis, only pre-existing obesity (BMI⩾30), PS ⩾2 and head-and-neck or upper digestive cancers were associated with increased risk of malnutrition.
Hypertension was the only pre-existing medical condition that was associated with a more severe morbidity and outcome in H1N1 positive patients.
Only pre-existing apnea of prematurity is clearly recognized as a risk factor [ 5] and few others have been systematically studied.
In addition to searching the electronic databases we consulted the bibliography of the only pre-existing systematic review on this subject.
During the initial phase of manual PhenoMiner literature curation, only pre-existing RGD IDs were needed because all of the references had previously been imported from PubMed for QTL curation.
The highest levels of change occurred in the presence of: (1) social cohesion, not only pre-existing but also as facilitated by Well London activities; (2) personal and collective agency; (3) involvement and support of external organisations.
The data to be collected in our study are summarised in boxes 1 (physician related) and 2 (patient related/incident related); for the latter, only pre-existing data from medical records will be collected.
