Vertical Electric Sounding of Leachate Contaminant Plumes at a Dumpsite in Obigbo, Rivers State, Nigeria by W. Tamuno, S. Inichinbia

“… The quality of underground water at a dumpsite in Obigbo, Rivers State, Nigeria, was investigated by collecting 7 vertical electrical soundings (VES) using Wenner electrode configuration with current electrode spacing (AB/2) ranging from 1.0 m to 300 m. Field data were acquired using the SAS 300C resistivity meter and accessories, coordinates and elevation were measured using the Global Positioning System (GPS) at each sounding station. …”

Stratified mass selection, individual selection between and within, and genetic gains in native maize varieties by Joaes Alves da Silva Pereira, Vanderley Borges dos Santos

“…The experimental design was DBC, with two replications totaling 20 experimental units, evaluating four plants per plot. The spacing used was 0.8 by 0.3 m. The following were evaluated: stalk diameter (SD), ear length (EL), ear diameter (ED), number of rows (NF), number of grains per row (NGR), ear mass (EM), and total grain mass (TGM) were evaluated. …”

Os sistemas agrícolas tradicionais nos interstícios da soja no Brasil: processos e limites da conservação da agrobiodiversidade. by Ludivine Eloy, Cláudia de Souza, Diana Nascimento, Mônica Celeida Rabelo Nogueira, Henyo Trindade Barretto Filho, Patricia Bustamante, Laure Emperaire

“…Agricultural diversity in the interstices of soybean plantations (between 66 and 188 crop species and varieties) results from the continuous production of knowledge in experimentation spaces constituted by swidden agriculture. Traditional agricultural knowledge molds a heterogeneous soybean frontier, where the interstices cultivated by communities reveal themselves as islands of agrobiodiversity in a sea of monocultures. …”

Anti-linealidad temporal y la realidad de la ficción : el vanguardismo de la revista Crononauta (1964) by David AJ Murrieta Flores

“…It consists of an encounter between the so-called « Panic Movement » of which Jodorowsky was a founder and a notion of science fiction developed by Rebetez, which resulted in the privileging of the hybridization of divergent spaces and times. Through collage, understood as a mechanism of extraction and appropriation of contexts, and the use of a literary method authored by French writer Raymond Roussel, which produces novelty from repetition and doubles, Crononauta’s avant-gardism poses the disolution of the limits between present, past, and future in the possible transformative continuity between reality and fiction.The purpose of this article is to analyze how the aesthetic elements are intertwined with the political and social project of the magazine, a chaotic and ambiguous proposal with references ranging from Surrealism to the Utopian Socialism of the 19th century. …”

Social media, self-pornography, and gay/bisexual/queer men’s psychosexual wellbeing by Paul Byron, James D. A. Newton, Olivia Hanson, Oscar Oviedo-Trespalacios, Bernard Saliba, Daniel Demant

“…Despite the internet’s historical significance for LGBTQ+ identities and communities, contemporary public health research overlooks how gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ+) men utilise online spaces for sexual expression and connections. This study ­explores the role of pornographic content creation and sharing on social media among Australian GBQ+ men, addressing the gap in understanding its implications for health and wellbeing. …”

Statistical Inference for Heavy-Tailed Burr X Distribution with Applications by Mohamed Kayid, Vasili B. V. Nagarjuna, Mohammed Elgarhy

“…Extensive simulation was performed to investigate the estimation of the model parameters using many established approaches, including maximum likelihood estimation, least squares estimation, weighted least squares estimation, Cramer–von Mises estimation, Anderson–Darling estimation, maximum product of spacing estimation, and percentile estimation. The simulation results showed the computational efficiency of these strategies and showed that the maximum likelihood strategy of estimation is the best strategy. …”
