Background: Bistable images are visual stimuli that have the particular characteristic of being interpreted in two different ways. Due to their physical characteristics, these images, while being observed, encourage the observer to make perceptual alternations, in such a way that it is never possible to perceive the two possible percepts simultaneously. The defining lines and contours of a bistable image, along with all its characteristics, can influence its perception, as well as the areas of the image that are observed.

The rising compressed sensing (CS) trend will scale back the amount of sampling rates that can match with the degree of knowledge gathered, which suggests that the redundant knowledge is rarely nonheritable. It enables it to design complete and new applications with less number of resources needed in the trend that is directed toward Internet of things (IoT). CS and data reconstruction mix the independent recovery software and sensing to be represented as sparse signal that has a new trend to sample signal and data in info systems.

Humic substances act as a chelating agent for metal ion extraction. Soluble humic substances (HS) might be an alternative to use instead of synthetic chemicals such as mineral acid or EDTA. These natural extractants are less expensive, biodegradable, environment friendly, less destructive to soil structure and also improve soil properties. Two peat soils were collected one from Khulna University campus and another from Gopalganj basin. Humic substances were extracted from peat soils.

This study sought to determine the effects of class size on academic achievement of the pupils. A meta-analysis was undertaken from studies published in 2008 onwards that reported data on class size of elementary schools and pupils’ academic achievement. The primary hypothesis for this thesis was there was a significant effect between class size and pupil’s academic achievement. An extensive systematic review of the literature was conducted using bibliographic databases and other sources, resulting in the review of hundreds of abstracts and articles.

Varied evidenceshave been presented in literature about the link between menopause and depression. During menopausal transition, women experience uncomfortable symptoms due to the gradual depletion of the ovarian hormones. This hormonal imbalance predisposes peri- and post-menopausal women to the incapacitating depressive disorder which can adversely affect their behavior and way of life.

Research productivity of social sciences has become an integral part for personal, organizational and national development especially in south Asia and particularly in Pakistan. Complexities of a developing country, individual and structural factors often constitute several problems in the execution of the social research venture. The purpose of the research is to understand various issues regarding research productivity in social sciences in academia and to increase public awareness.
