White Garden Snail, Theba pisana (Mueller) (Gastropoda: Helicidae) by Jane E. Deisler, Lionel A. Stange

“…This snail can survive long and arduous journeys because of its ability to form a wall of dried mucus, called an epiphragm, in the aperture of its shell which reduces water loss during dormancy. Theba pisana is capable of explosive reproductive rates where it has been introduced, and can be found in densities of up to 3000 snails per tree (Mead 1971) after periods of less than 5 years (Chace 1915, Orcutt 1919). …”

FARMERS-HERDERS CONFLICTS AND FOOD INSECURITY IN NIGERIA by DAUPAMOWEI HENRY ASANEBI

“…The Thomas Malthus Resource Scarcity theory was adopted, which underpinned the conflagration between farmers and herders over competition for available limited resources such as grazing lands and water, etc. The paper makes the case that persistent farmers-herders conflicts have an impact on (i) food shortages and insecurity, as many farmers were compelled to flee their farms for safety. …”

Enhancing undrained shear strength prediction: a robust hybrid machine learning approach with naïve Bayes modeling by Chen Fang, Ying Li, Yang Shi

“…This paper presents a novel methodology for the USS prediction in soft clays using machine learning techniques, and particularly it highlights the attention on the following five important input variables: pre-consolidation stress (PS), vertical effective stress (VES), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and natural water content (W). These are selected in view of their well-understood impact on the USS. …”
