While insurers are not typically the most significant contributors to systemic risk, their actions and
behaviour may materially contribute to such risk. This study considers the models that may be used
to detect systemic ...
Sustainable accessibility and adequate availability of healthy water are preconditions for healthy living and effective uninterrupted ecological networking. However, the presence of organic pollutants like organochlorine ...

Rangelands are natural ecosystems that serve as essential sources of forage for domesticated livestock and wildlife. Therefore, accurately mapping nutrient levels in rangelands is crucial for sustainable development and ...
BACKGROUND :
Diarrheal diseases substantially affect public health impact in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), particularly in Africa, where previous studies have indicated a lack of comprehensive data. With a ...
The setting where an unknown number m of the largest data
is missing from an underlying Pareto-type distribution is considered. Solutions
are provided for estimating the extreme value index, the number
of missing data ...

Trees are partial orderings where every element has a linearly
ordered set of smaller elements. We define and study several natural
notions of completeness of trees, extending Dedekind completeness
of linear orders and ...

The high rate of metabolic activity during breeding, pregnancy, parturition and lactation may lead to oxidative stress in sheep and goats. Antioxidant supplementation is proposed as a therapy to encounter resultant stress. ...
Diethylamine vapor is harmful to people if inhaled or swallowed, as it results in the oxidation of hemoglobin in
the body into unwanted methemoglobin, which is unable to transport oxygen in the blood, resulting in ...

This study aimed to compare the effects of feeding 60 mg of the β-adrenergic agonist, zilpaterol
HCl (Zilmax®), per steer per day versus feeding 120 mg of the β-adrenergic agonist, R-salbutamol
(Salbutamate®10%), per ...
Changes in species diversity have been widely used in environmental monitoring and global change studies as an indicator of vegetation change over time. High mountain ecosystems such as the Golden Gate Highlands National ...
The incessant reoccurrence of flooding disasters across Nigeria has mandated an urgent outlook on food-risk management
techniques. Ilorin and its environs have suffered immensely from annual food reoccurrence. This study ...
