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

We are living in an era of accelerated change and uncertainties where disruption in all aspects of our modern lives is the norm. In such context, foresight supported by quality management systems and organizational excellence frameworks comes into prominence as strategic toolset to face these social and economic challenges in organizations and

Abstract

Based on Chinese CDCP report on COVID-19, 14% of patients presented severe disease and 5% critical conditions. The average case-fatality rate was 2.3%, but mortality was as high as 49% in patients with critical illness. Serious life threatening thromboembolic complications have been found in 71.4% of non-survivors and micro/macro angiopathic co

Abstract

Two 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

Abstract

Abstract

We demonstrate the knowledge-development power of the emerging science of Mind Genomics, doing so by a study of appeals to fund a wind-power project in Texas. The paper focuses on the method, analyses, results, and application of the findings, showing what can be learned and implemented with the easy-to-do and affordable, iterated studies offer

Abstract

We have presented a theory of unification of gravitational force and the electromagnetic force by generalizing Newton‟s 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

The 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 “hygiene hypothesis”, that is, that disease may be actually caused by the lack of beneficial comm

Abstract

The researchers came up to conduct a study in creating a street lighting system powered up by solar panels that sustains its own power as a stand-alone system off the grid line. By analyzing the collected data
