Site properties for snail farming: the role of environmental factors and soil profiles in Cornu aspersum mineral content.

The research aims to emphasize the importance of site selection in snail farming by examining how differences in environmental variables and regional characteristics influence the mineral content of Cornu aspersum snails. This is achieved through a comparative analysis of the mineral contents in their muscle tissue and shells, including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, ash, and dry matter, across two locations in the Black Sea region: Fatsa (F) and Sinop (S). The study found that snails allocate resources based on available calcium to strengthen their shells for survival.

A study on the interaction parameters of charged and uncharged radiation types with some indoor plants.

This study investigates how gamma rays, neutrons, and electrons interact with five commonly found indoor plants: Spathiphyllum wallisii (SW), Ficus elastica (FE), Dieffenbachia camilla (DC), Schefflera arboricola (SA), and Ficus benjamina (FB). Utilizing experimental measurements (with HPGe detector), Monte Carlo simulations (GEANT4 and FLUKA), and theoretical calculations (ESTAR and WinXCOM), some radiation interaction parameters for gamma rays, fast neutrons, thermal neutrons, and electrons were determined. Secondary particle generation was also analyzed to provide a comprehensive assessment.
