Prednisone intake for extended periods of time is associated with weight gain. The causes of this weight gain include: Increase in fluid accumulation and total plasma volume as a result of changes in the serum concentration of sodium ions.
Decomposition occurs most rapidly during the thermophilic stage of composting (40-60Â°C), which lasts for several weeks or months depending on the size of the system and the composition of the ingredients. This stage also is important for destroying thermosensitive pathogens, fly larvae, and weed seeds.
If the temperature is too low, or too high, fungi and bacteria cannot grow and the rate of decomposition is slow. If the leaves have a low nitrogen content, the rate of decomposition is slowed because fungi and bacteria can not extract enough nitrogen to make proteins they need for growth.
