Abstract
Protecting ecosystems in the vicinity of rapidly urbanizing areas requires continuous monitoring and assessment. Currently, the extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined of Lesser Whistling Duck (LWD) is declining or fluctuating in range size, habitat extent/quality and population size. It is mostly found in either small number or small frag

Abstract
ï»żTwo groups of 51 US respondents each evaluated combinations of statements about the problems and solutions that a country might face. The two studies were run a year apart, May 2019 (before the Covid-19 pandemic) and May 2020 (at the then current height of the pandemic). The problems and solutions were combined by experimental design, creati

Breakfast Consumption Patterns among the Students at Ahfad University for Women
Abstract
Background: The intake of breakfast fuels the body with essential nutrients needed for the optimal function and helping the brain to concentrate during the day. Skipping breakfast puts the body at risking of entering into a starvation mode, leading to compensate and overeat later in the day. This current study was conducted between July 2019 an

Food and Drink: Thoughts on Base Size in Sensory and Consumer Research
Abstract
In the applied world of product testing the appropriate number of panelists (base size) involves technical and business considerations. Base sizes range from very low (around six; used in expert panelist profiling) to high (hundreds; used in product tests by marketing researchers). Often base sizes are dictated by the requirement that the proj

Classical Unification of Gravitational and Electromagnetic Forces
Ling Jun Wang
Abstract
We have presented a theory of unification of gravitational force and the electromagnetic force by generalizing Newtonâs law of gravitation to include a dynamic term similar to the Lorentz force of electromagnetic interaction. The inclusion of this dynamic term alone in the gravitational force is enough to develop the entire dynamic theo

Abstract
ï»żThe interaction between the human host micro biome and over the counter products has recently been investigated, with surprising results. Some over the counter items may negatively affect the health of the host, supporting the concept of the âhygiene hypothesisâ, that is, that disease may be actually caused by the lack of beneficial comm
