The premise for Loose Strings is based on quantum string theory, which postulates as many as 26 dimensions coexisting within the universe. What if there were loose strings left over from the Big Bang that randomly pull objects and people into and out of other dimensions? It would explain why objects and people periodically vanish without a trace from our Earth dimension, or if they do turn up again, they are in an unexpected place and time. What if there were ways to attract or create strings as a means of teleportation travel within the universe? What if another-dimension alien developed technologies for inter-dimensional travel and had plans to invade our dimension and subjugate it to his will. These are questions pondered by Jeremiah Berrigan, a brilliant PhD physicist, whose passion for answers makes him question his own sanity. His 120-year quest pits human values of loyalty, bravery, and compassion against alien values of deceit and brutality.

Food can be contaminated during the processes of production, packaging, transportation, etc. Food safety is concerned with such practices in order to avoid food-borne illnesses. This includes food hygiene, pesticide residue, food labeling, food certification, etc. The measurement of the availability of food along with its accessibility to consumers is known as food security. Some of the indexes to measure food security are Household Dietary Diversity Scale (HDDS), Household Hunger Scale (HDS), Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), etc. The four pillars of food security are availability, accessibility, utilization and stability. This book covers in detail some existing theories and innovative concepts revolving around food safety and security. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on these fields have been included herein. This book will serve as a resource guide for food scientists, policy makers, researchers and students involved in these fields.
