Vegetal protein hydrolysates reduce the yield losses in off-season crops under combined heat and drought stress.

To deal with the vagaries of climate change, it is essential to develop climate-resilient agricultural practices, which improve crop productivity, and ensure food security. The impacts of high temperature and water deficit stress conditions pose serious challenges to a sustainable crop production. Several adaptation measures are practiced globally to address these challenges and among these altering the crop's typical growing season is one of the key management practices. Application of biostimulants and other growth hormones helps in compensating yield losses under abiotic stress significantly. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the influence of vegetal protein hydrolysate based biostimulant to reduce the yield losses of off-season crops (soybean and chilli in summer and chickpea in early Kharif) when the temperature was higher than the regular season under water deficit stress conditions. The experiments were carried out with the foliar application of different protein hydrolysates (PHs) concentrations. The study revealed that the application of PHs significantly improved the membrane stability index, relative water content, total chlorophyll and proline content of leaves. Consequently, it led to an increase in the number of pods in soybean and chickpea, and fruits in chilli, leading to improved yields when plants were treated with the appropriate amount of PHs. Compared to untreated plants, PHs helped improve the efficiency of PS-II with significantly high photochemical efficiency (QYmax) even at higher excised leaf water loss or reduction in loss of relative water content. This study concluded that foliar application of PHs at 4, 2, and 6 ml L-1 can be beneficial for soybean, chickpea and chilli, which exhibited 17, 30, and 25% yield improvement respectively, over the untreated plants under water deficit stress. It is suggested that the benefits of PHs can be realized in soybean, chickpea and chilli under high temperature and water deficit stress. Therefore, vegetal PHs may be able to assist farmers in arid regions for boosting their income by raising market value and decreasing production barriers during the off-season.

Facile synthesis of CuO/g-C3N4 nanolayer composites with superior catalytic reductive degradation behavior.

The cupric oxide (CuO) loaded graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanocomposites (CuO/g-C3N4) were prepared by a facile calcination method. The formation of monoclinic CuO nanocrystals along with g-C3N4 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis. X-ray photoelectron spectral (XPS) analysis further confirms the formation of CuO/g-C3N4. Distribution of CuO stone-like crystalline nanoparticles on g-C3N4 nanosheets was observed by transmission electron microscopic images. The influence of CuO loading on the optical property of g-C3N4 was determined by ultraviolet (UV)-visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectral analysis. Band gap was decreased from 2.7 to 2.3 eV by the addition of CuO nanoparticles. The catalytic performance of the synthesized samples in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and methyl orange (MO) reduction was evaluated. The 5 wt% CuO/g-C3N4 showed 99.5% (7 min) and 99.7% (4 min) reduction efficiency for 4-NP and MO respectively. The 5 wt% CuO/g-C3N4 could become a potential catalyst in the chemical treatment of organic pollutants.

Molecular stability of the complexes was studied by quantum chemical calculations using DFT/B3LYP method with 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Furthermore, their relative charge distributions were identified using molecular electrostatic potential map. The use of Hirshfeld surfaces in combination with fingerprint plots was visualized in order to study the closer contacts within the molecule. The relative contribution of the whole percentage of interactions associated is highlighted.

Bis-(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl) ligand structure driven selectivity reversal between Am3+ and Cm3+: solvent extraction and DFT studies.

Selectivity between Am3+ and Cm3+ was investigated after their aqueous complexation with three structurally tailored hydrophilic bis-(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl) ligands followed by their extraction with N,N,N'N'-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) dissolved in an ionic liquid (C4mim·Tf2N). The three hydrophilic ligands used were SO3PhBTP, SO3PhBTBP, and SO3PhBTPhen. It was evident from the solvent extraction studies that SO3PhBTP formed a stronger complex with Cm3+ than with Am3+, but SO3PhBTPhen showed better complexation ability for Am3+ than for Cm3+, and SO3PhBTBP showed no selectivity for the two actinide ions. DFT calculations indicated that the coordinating 'N' atoms in BTP were more co-planar in the complex and this co-planarity was higher in the Cm3+ complex as compared to that in Am3+. In the case of BTBP and BTPhen ligands, on the other hand, the co-planarity was more pronounced in the Am3+ complexes. Mayer's bond order calculations of M-N bonds in the complexes also indicated a reversal of the complexation ability of the BTP and BTPhen ligands for Am3+ and Cm3+. Calculations of the complexation energies further supported the higher selectivity of the BTP ligand for Am3+ by -52.0 kJ mol-1, and better selectivity of the BTPhen ligand for Cm3+ by -24.7 kJ mol-1.

Enhanced Evolutionary Feature Selection and Ensemble Method for Cardiovascular Disease Prediction.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one among the main factors for the increase in mortality rate worldwide. The analysis and prediction of this disease is yet a highly formidable task in medical data analysis. Recent advancements in technology such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and the need for automated models have paved the way for developing a more reliable and efficient model for predicting heart disease. Several researches have been carried out in predicting heart diseases but the focus on choosing the important attributes that play a significant role in predicting CVD is inadequate. Hence the choice of right features for the classification and the diagnosis of the heart disease is important. The core aim of this work is to identify and select the important features and machine learning methodologies that can enhance the prediction capability of the classification models for accurately predicting CVD. The results show that the proposed enhanced evolutionary feature selection with the hybrid ensemble model outperforms the existing approaches in terms of precision, recall and accuracy. The experimental outcomes show that the proposed approach attains the maximum classification accuracy of 93.65% for statlog dataset, 82.81% for SPECTF dataset and 84.95% for coronary heart disease dataset. The proposed classification model performance is demonstrated using ROC curve against state-of-the-art methods in machine learning.

The images of the lung CT are considered as an input in this particular work. Following this, an effectual batch size is calculated by employing the method of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To denoise the image, Recurrent Neural Network or RNN algorithm were proposed, here to reduce the internal covariate shift present in the neural networks, the Long Short-Term Memory or LSTM based Batch Normalization is brought-in. With respect to SNR or Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and Mean Square Error (MSE), operations were assessed. This algorithm is considered as competitive to other denoising schemes which have been confirmed by the experimental outcomes.

Earthworm Grazed-Trichoderma harzianum Biofortified Spent Mushroom Substrates Modulate Accumulation of Natural Antioxidants and Bio-Fortification of Mineral Nutrients in Tomato.

The present investigation was aimed at evaluating the impact of earthworm grazed and Trichoderma harzianum biofortified spent mushroom substrate (SMS) on natural antioxidant and nutritional properties of tomato. Results of the investigation reveal that earthworm grazing and T. harzianum bio-fortification led to significant improvement in the physico-chemical properties of fresh SMS and its application increased the accumulation of natural antioxidants and mineral content in tomato as compared to either T. harzianum biofortified SMS or fresh SMS. In particular, the earthworm grazed, T. harzianum biofortified SMS (EGTHB-SMS) was found to inhibit lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation with significant increase in total polyphenol and flavonoid content in tomato. Further, it increased Fe2+/Fe3+ chelating activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity compared to other treatments. The results thus suggest an augmented elicitation of natural antioxidant properties in tomato treated with EGTHB-SMS, resulting in a higher radical scavenging activity, that is highly desirable for human health. In addition, the use of SMS to enhance the nutritional value of tomato fruits becomes an environment friendly approach in sustainable crop production.

Structure-guided discovery of 2-aryl/pyridin-2-yl-1H-indole derivatives as potent and selective hepsin inhibitors.

Hepsin, a type II transmembrane serine protease, is upregulated in prostate cancer and known to be involved in the progression of metastasis. Here we report a structure-guided approach, which resulted in the discovery of 2-aryl/pyridin-2-yl-1H-indole derivatives as potent and selective inhibitors of hepsin. Potent and selective inhibition of hepsin by compound 8 is likely due to interactions of the amidine group at the S1 site with the cyclohexyl ring from the 2-aryl group projecting towards the S1' site and the tert-hydroxyl group interacting with His57 side-chain as revealed by X-ray crystallography. Compounds 8 and 10, showed Ki of 0.1 µM for hepsin, and exhibited inhibition of invasion and migration of hepsin-overexpressing cell line. Compounds described here could serve as useful tool reagents to investigate the role of hepsin as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Bayes Node Energy Polynomial Distribution to Improve Routing in Wireless Sensor Network.

Wireless Sensor Network monitor and control the physical world via large number of small, low-priced sensor nodes. Existing method on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) presented sensed data communication through continuous data collection resulting in higher delay and energy consumption. To conquer the routing issue and reduce energy drain rate, Bayes Node Energy and Polynomial Distribution (BNEPD) technique is introduced with energy aware routing in the wireless sensor network. The Bayes Node Energy Distribution initially distributes the sensor nodes that detect an object of similar event (i.e., temperature, pressure, flow) into specific regions with the application of Bayes rule. The object detection of similar events is accomplished based on the bayes probabilities and is sent to the sink node resulting in minimizing the energy consumption. Next, the Polynomial Regression Function is applied to the target object of similar events considered for different sensors are combined. They are based on the minimum and maximum value of object events and are transferred to the sink node. Finally, the Poly Distribute algorithm effectively distributes the sensor nodes. The energy efficient routing path for each sensor nodes are created by data aggregation at the sink based on polynomial regression function which reduces the energy drain rate with minimum communication overhead. Experimental performance is evaluated using Dodgers Loop Sensor Data Set from UCI repository. Simulation results show that the proposed distribution algorithm significantly reduce the node energy drain rate and ensure fairness among different users reducing the communication overhead.

Comparative study of the effects of organic selenium on hen performance and productivity of broiler breeders.

1. A 10-week experiment was conducted with Ross 308 broiler breeder chickens in cages to evaluate the influence of organic and inorganic sources of selenium (Se) supplementation. A total of 600 birds at 29 weeks of age were divided at random into 4 groups and fed on a maize-soya basal diet supplemented with different forms of Se. 2. The first (control) group was given the basal diet without Se supplementation, whereas the second, third and fourth groups were given, respectively, the basal diet with 0.3 mg/kg of inorganic Se in the form of sodium selenite or 0.3 and 0.5 mg/kg of organic Se in the form of Se enriched yeast (Se-yeast). 3. The experiment was carried out for 10 weeks to compare and evaluate the influence of Se supplementation on breeder performance, egg production, hatchability and the quality of eggs. Samples were collected for analysis at weeks 0, 5 and 10 of the experimental period. 4. At the end of the experiment (39 weeks), there was a reduction in mortality in breeders given diets supplemented with 0.5 mg/kg of Se-yeast. Supplementation of feed with 0.5 mg/kg organic Se increased egg production, percentage of settable eggs and hatchability. 5. Selenium supplementation increased egg weight and specific gravity compared to the control diet. However, no significant variation was found in albumen or yolk protein content at the end of week 10. 6. Selenium accumulation and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity were lower in the egg albumen and yolk of control compared with Se-supplemented treatments. Se accumulation and GSHPx activity were higher in the group given 0.3 mg/kg organic compared to 0.3 mg/kg of inorganic Se. 7. The results favour the use of Se-yeast at the dose of 0.5 mg/kg in broiler breeder diets for better productivity of eggs, settable eggs, hatchability and higher Se accumulation and antioxidant status in eggs.

Adaptive radiotherapy in lung cancer: dosimetric benefits and clinical outcome.

OBJECTIVE: Anatomical changes during radiotherapy (RT) might introduce discrepancies between planned and delivered doses. This study evaluates the need for adaptive treatment in lung cancer RT. METHODS: 15 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, undergoing radical RT with or without concurrent chemotherapy, consecutively underwent planning CT scans at baseline and after 44-46 Gy. Target volumes were delineated on both scans. Phase I delivered 44-46 Gy to the initial planning target volume (PTV). Two Phase II plans for 16-20 Gy were developed on initial and mid-treatment scans, the treatment being delivered with the mid-treatment plan. The second CT structure set was fused with the initial scan data set using dose wash. Volumetric and dosimetric changes in target volumes and critical structures were assessed. RESULTS: There was significant reduction in primary gross tumour volume (34.00%; p = 0.02) and PTV (34.70%; p < 0.01) in the second scan. In Plan 2, delivering the same dose to the initial PTV would have resulted in a significantly higher dose to the lung PTV (V20, 52.18%; V5, 21.76%; mean, 23.93%), contralateral lung (mean, 29.43%), heart (V10, 81.47%; V5, 56.62%; mean, 35.21%) and spinal cord (maximum dose, 37.53%). CONCLUSION: Treatment replanning can account for anatomical changes during RT and thereby enable better normal tissue sparing, while allowing radical target doses with the possibility of maximizing local control. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study supports the sparse dosimetric data regarding the quantitative tumour volume reduction, re-emphasizing the need for adaptive replanning for minimizing normal tissue toxicity without compromising local control, and adds to the existing body of literature.

Incidental radiation to axilla in early breast cancer treated with intensity modulated tangents and comparison with conventional and 3D conformal tangents.

PURPOSE: To analyze incidental radiation doses to minimally dissected axilla with Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and standard tangents (ST). METHODS & MATERIALS: We prospectively evaluated incidental radiation to axilla in fifty cases of early breast cancer treated with breast conservation surgery with sentinel node biopsy alone followed by whole breast irradiation with IMRT. Three plans were devised for each CT dataset, comprising ST, 3DCRT and IMRT tangents. Doses to axillary nodal levels I, II and III were evaluated for mean dose, V95, V90, V80 and V50. Comparisons were made using ANOVA. RESULTS: The mean doses delivered to axilla by the three techniques (IMRT, 3DCRT, ST) were: 78% (range 67-90, SD ± 5.2%), 80% (63-95, ±7.5%) and 87% (73-98, ±4.8%) for level I (IMRT vs ST; p = 0.037); 70% (46-89, ±12.4%), 72% (34-93, ±15.5%) and 65% (29-87, ±11.8%) for level II; and 51% (28-76, ±11.1%), 53% (19-86, ±13.7%) and 41% (6-72, ±10.6%) for level III, respectively. V90 values (volume receiving 90% of dose) for the three techniques were 49% (43-53, ±2.7%), 57% (51-65, ±3.1%) and 73% (65-80, ±3.4%) for level I (IMRT vs. ST; p = 0.029); 35% (26-42, ±4.7%), 41% (33-50, ±4.2%) and 25% (17-36, ±4.5%) for level II (IMRT vs ST; p = 0.068); and 15% (9-22, ±3.4%), 16% (10-24, ±3.7%) and 8 (5-12, ±3.1%) for level III (IMRT vs ST; p = 0.039), respectively. CONCLUSION: Axillary levels I and II (lower axilla) receive substantial amount of incidental radiation doses with all the three techniques; however, conformal techniques (IMRT, 3DCRT) deliver significantly lesser incidental radiation to lower axilla than ST technique.

Cloud based emergency health care information service in India.

A hospital is a health care organization providing patient treatment by expert physicians, surgeons and equipments. A report from a health care accreditation group says that miscommunication between patients and health care providers is the reason for the gap in providing emergency medical care to people in need. In developing countries, illiteracy is the major key root for deaths resulting from uncertain diseases constituting a serious public health problem. Mentally affected, differently abled and unconscious patients can't communicate about their medical history to the medical practitioners. Also, Medical practitioners can't edit or view DICOM images instantly. Our aim is to provide palm vein pattern recognition based medical record retrieval system, using cloud computing for the above mentioned people. Distributed computing technology is coming in the new forms as Grid computing and Cloud computing. These new forms are assured to bring Information Technology (IT) as a service. In this paper, we have described how these new forms of distributed computing will be helpful for modern health care industries. Cloud Computing is germinating its benefit to industrial sectors especially in medical scenarios. In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the distributed computing on-demand. This paper is concerned with sprouting software as a service (SaaS) by means of Cloud computing with an aim to bring emergency health care sector in an umbrella with physical secured patient records. In framing the emergency healthcare treatment, the crucial thing considered necessary to decide about patients is their previous health conduct records. Thus a ubiquitous access to appropriate records is essential. Palm vein pattern recognition promises a secured patient record access. Likewise our paper reveals an efficient means to view, edit or transfer the DICOM images instantly which was a challenging task for medical practitioners in the past years. We have developed two services for health care. 1. Cloud based Palm vein recognition system 2. Distributed Medical image processing tools for medical practitioners.
