Introduction In research work, scholars more often than note collect more than two sets of variables. In situations where two variables are collected and used for analysis, this has been termed as bivariate analysis. Typically the aim of doing this is to establish causes or relationships between the variables (Pallant,...
Eliminating bias in research A crucial element of any competent research is objectivity and researchers are responsible for critically examining the methods and conclusions for bias. To help researchers avoid and eliminate biased attitude, a standard of validity and reliability may be instrumental in research (Creswell, 2013). One of the...
Spatial planning is one of the issues that are of great concern to policy-makers in Belgium. Currently, this country is strongly affected by such trends as increasing population, the growing necessity to protect cultural heritage, and transformation of former industrial zones (Gropas 2014).

Introduction The contribution made by Muslim mathematicians towards Western civilization cannot be underestimated. Unlike other religions where dogmas are not linked to science, Islam and science are correlated (Ahmed 63). Muslims have contributed greatly to the development of modern science especially in the area of algebra. Muslim mathematicians are the...
On the whole, water management is one of the job skills that are of great importance to many organizations and institutions that can be both public and private. It should be noted that this area incorporates the elements of different disciplines; for example, one can speak about hydrology, geology, planning...
In regression analysis, the relationship between dependent and independent variables is the focus of all calculations. The quality of all measurements and their connections have to be checked to ensure that the results of a research show correct results. To achieve this goal, such measures as the coefficient of determination...
Introduction Nearly 42 million acres of irrigated agriculture in the United States are at risk from salt buildup, which either already exists or could do so. It will be necessary to irrigate much of the undeveloped land in the world, which is located in arid and semiarid areas. Right now,...
Introduction As the world developed and new technologies emerged, all areas of society, including agriculture, were transformed.

Zinc Carbonate is an ionic compound consisting of zinc, carbon, and three oxygen ions. The chemical formula of the ingredient is ZnCO3. This compound is often used in cosmetics, agriculture,...
In managing research in any area of life, it is imperative to employ procedures to collect data and analyze it. When viewed in that perspective, it is referred to as research methodology. Research methodology is a critical decision in the whole process of an individual’s research. Developing one’s research methodology...
Introduction Biology has endless possibilities for developing new technologies for genetic engineering and treating various diseases. Biotechnological innovations in medicine already bear the separate name of biomedicine. Thus, experiments are being conducted in editing human genes, which will help eradicate genetic diseases such as the aforementioned schizophrenia. This is why...
People associate germs with a negative definition, but these parts are different. Most microbes in our body or another environment bring positive results. They help organisms to develop evenly and provide them with everything they need. Most existing microbes are part of a specific ecosystem and perform their function. With...
The Venturi effect is of particular importance in fluid dynamics, characterizing the pressure drop of a fluid as it flows through narrow spaces. The Venturi effect is named after the Italian scientist Giovanni Battista Venturi, who is also known for his work in optical physics (Gallitto et al., 2021). The...
Introduction The polynomial model is an integral concept in mathematics, especially in determining relationships. It is a form of regression where the relationship between dependent and independent variables is determined (Fox & Burks, 2019). For example, the model can identify the relationship between Amazon’s net income/loss and sales. However, there...
Archaeological studies have focused on the role played by ritual practices and belief systems in ancient societies. Ancient societies depended on rituals and belief systems to communicate with the spiritual world and also to interpret their material world as well as their own being.

I would choose the stratified sampling method for studies like this, which allows to represent the population on a smaller scale. The population is conveniently divided by several characteristics: gender, social class, level of education, and religion (Moser & Korstjens, 2018). It is then important to sample within each category...
Introduction The United States is one of the most urbanized countries in the world. It houses some of the largest and most attractive cities in the world. The cities attract visitors and residents from all over the world because of the opportunities they offer. Los Angeles and New York are...
Adiabatic lapse rates refer to temperature changes as altitude increases with no heat loss or gain to and from the surrounding environment. Adiabatic lapse rates can be distinguished as dry or moist. Condensation and latent heat release make the Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate (MALR) slower than the Dry Adiabatic Lapse...
Introduction Astronomy was an important part of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Observations of the sky were not the task assigned to a limited circle of chosen individuals’ rather, they were an integral component of indigenous Australians’ life (Johnson, 2014). Aboriginal Australians had the knowledge not only...
