Published: April 2023

The paper proposes a method for improving the accuracy of image classification by combining CNNs and the Binary Marine Predators Algorithm (BMPA). The CNNs used in the study, ResNet 50 and AlexNet, were trained on ImageNet and used to extract features from the images in the dataset. Features are taken from layers (avg_pool) in ResNet 50 and (drop7) in AlexNet. These features were then fed into the BMPA algorithm, which selected the most relevant features and removed irrelevant ones to improve the classification process. The proposed method is said to be efficient, capable of achieving higher classification accuracy, and able to select the best features. The authors believe that this approach could be applied to a variety of other image classification tasks. It is important to note that the effectiveness of this method should be evaluated on a range of datasets and compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

Authors: Subha G. Gnancy , Priya.R Hema , Warshi Alam , yappan M.I
Published: April 2023

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a form of technology that develops a communication channel between a user and certain environmental objects using the user's brain impulses and to develop a non-invasive brain-computer interface that can "translate ideas into voice" (that converts brain signals into speech). The technique is primarily intended for individuals who can no longer interact via conventional channels (lock-in-syndrome patients). The brain signal produced for each word is recorded using EEG electrodes, and the ADC is used to convert the recorded brain signal to a voltage value. When the system produces the requisite voltage, the voice is delivered. Keywords: Brain, EEG electrodes, Thoughts, Speech, Non-Invasive, Signal processing, Word, ADC

Improving the Quality Control and Exploration of Digital Documents Using Visualization and Serendipity
Authors: Atanasiu Vlad
Published: April 2023

This article contributes to the quality control of digitization workflows, and to the exploitation of historical document collections, by demonstrating the utility of serendipitous exploration (as opposed to targeted searches) through the use of Document Towers, a visual representation of the physical structure of documents as architectural models. The Document Towers are evaluated via a qualitative case study on historical Swiss newspapers, a thought experiment comparing them to alternative solutions, a diagrammatic visual and numeric assessment of exploratory tasks, and several quantitative and empirical usability measurements and psychometric surveys. The experiments confirmed that both serendipitous exploration and the Document Towers visualization are objectively well-suited for the quality control and exploration of digital documents. A significant disparity in subjective usability was observed between librarians and academics, who rated the visualization concept below and above average, respectively. Other findings included the redefinition of quality control as a tool of knowledge and dialogue among stakeholders in information systems; a generic diagrammatic instrument for evaluating the outcomes of explorations; demonstrating how the adoption of novel information technology may benefit from adaptation to individual psychologies and socio-professional contexts; and, unexpectedly, novel historical insights into Swiss map-making, newspaper history, and censorship.

The Role of ADMA in Various Diseases
Authors: Banjarnahor Sofna , Damayanti Reny
Published: April 2023

Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Numerous studies have discovered a correlation between high plasma ADMA levels and the development of multiple diseases, including cardiovascular disease, chronic renal disease, diabetes mellitus, liver diseases, preeclampsia, and COVID-19. In addition, ADMA has been established as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. However, the functional interplay between ADMA and nitric oxide (NO)-mediated pathways is poorly understood, leaving the distinction between “risk factor” and “risk marker” unclear. In this review, we provide insights into the current state of knowledge regarding the pathophysiological role of ADMA in various diseases, the relationship between ADMA and endothelial dysfunction, the current analytical techniques used to determine ADMA in body fluids, and the benefits of ADMA-lowering drugs for the prevention of diseases in humans.

Banyak penelitian menemukan hubungan antara peningkatan kadar plasma ADMA dan perkembangan berbagai penyakit, termasuk penyakit kardiovaskular, penyakit ginjal kronik, diabetes melitus, penyakit hati, preeklampsia, dan COVID-19. ADMA juga diidentifikasi sebagai faktor risiko independen untuk penyakit kardiovaskular. Namun, interaksi fungsional antara ADMA dan nitric oxide (NO) belum begitu dipahami, yang menyebabkan tidak jelasnya batasan antara “faktor risiko” dan “penanda risiko”. Tulisan ini membahas pengetahuan terbaru tentang peran patofisiologi ADMA dalam berbagai penyakit, hubungan antara ADMA dan disfungsi endotelial, teknik analisis terkini untuk pemeriksaan kadar ADMA dalam cairan tubuh, serta manfaat obat penurun ADMA untuk pencegahan penyakit pada manusia.

Vigna radiata (green gram), Vigna aconitifolia (moth bean), Cicer arietinum (desi chickpea), Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea), Vigna mungo (black gram) and Pisum sativum (yellow pea) were used as host with three replications. The results exhibit alterations in the developmental period as it was recorded least in green gram (23± 0.58 days) and maximum in peas (42± 1 days). The number of eggs were maximum on pea (310± 2) and least in moth (180± 2). Maximum longevity was recorded on green grams (16 days) and least on pea (9± 1 days). A significant correlation between weight loss and adult emergence was observed. Loss of nutritional content like protein and carbohydrate was significant.

Morphometric characterization of male genitalia is an important aspect for studying intraspecific variation in Lepidoptera. In this study, size variation in the male genitalia of rice yellow stem borer (YSB) Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) collected from nine locations through sex pheromone traps was examined. Measurements of male genitalial parts like uncus length (UL), uncus width (UW), valva length (VL), valva width (VW), saccus length (SL), saccus width (SW), aedeagus length (AD) were considered. Significant size variation was observed among the populations, and the measurements SL, SW, VL, VW, UL, UW and AD contributed to about 16% to location variability. The results showed that all characters except valva width was significantly different (p≤0.05) among the nine populations.

A field experiment was carried out at the Rice Research Farm of Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand during kharif, 2018 and 2019 to assess the performance of some aromatic rice varieties against the yellow stem borer (YSB) Scirpophaga incertulas (Pyralidae: Lepidoptera) in Jharkhand. The damage caused was measured as deadheart- DH (30 and 45 DAT) and white earhead- WEH (70 and 90 DAT) at the vegetative and reproductive stages, respectively. At vegetative stage seven varieties scored 1 (PS-4, Pusa1176, PS-3, BVS-1, BR-9, BR-10, Assam culture) with 4.62 to 9.53% DH while at reproductive stage only two varieties (BR-10 and Assam Culture) scored 1 with 4.56 and 4.95% WEH. Yield potential of BR-9 (38.50 q/ ha) was significantly superior over other aromatic varieties except BR-10 and followed by Birsamati (34.30 q/ ha) and BVS-1 (33.25 q/ ha).

La demande croissante des produits confectionnés à partir de la sève d’érable amène à revoir les objectifs de production pour certains peuplements qui étaient jusqu’à présents destinés à une production prioritaire de bois d’oeuvre d’érable à sucre (Acer saccharum Marshall). Il est donc pertinent d’estimer les impacts que la production acéricole pourrait avoir sur la production de bois d’oeuvre d’érable à sucre. Nous avons d’abord mis au point un modèle permettant de prévoir la perte de bois d’oeuvre dans un érable à sucre causée par l’entaillage pour la collecte de la sève. Nous avons ensuite utilisé ce modèle pour simuler deux scénarios d’aménagement : un pour la production de bois d’oeuvre seule et un pour la coproduction de bois et de sève dans un même peuplement. Les résultats obtenus suggèrent que le volume net de bois d’oeuvre récolté d’érable à sucre est diminué d’environ 40 % dans le scénario de co-production comparativement au scenario de production de bois.

The examination was done to decide the all-out phenolics, all-out flavonoids, and in-vitro antioxidants of M. longifolia gathered from various areas (Rawalakot, Khaigala, Akhorban, Alisojal, Phirkot, Bhaikh, and Singola) of Poonch, Azad Jammu, and Kashmir. The watery concentrates of M. longifolia were surveyed for absolute phenolics, all-out flavonoids, restraint against thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) prompt by various star oxidants (10µM FeSo4 and 5µM sodium nitroprusside) in mice liver and brain homogenates, DPPH radical searching limit, iron-chelating power. The outcomes demonstrated that M. longifolia contained a generous level of phenolic (192.10±2.10 mg/g) and flavonoid compounds (4.23±0.03 mg/g) separately. Among various areas, the Alisojal indicated the most elevated antioxidant movement against lipid peroxidation prompted by iron in mice liver (IC50, 23.67±2.67 µg/ml) and brain (IC50, 13.85±0.85 µg/ml) and showed the most noteworthy cell reinforcement action against sodium nitroprusside in mice liver (IC50, 14.76±1.76 µg/ml) and brain (IC50, 14.05±1.05 µg/ml). The concentrates of various areas likewise demonstrated promising DPPH radical searching (IC50, 30.47±1.47 - 71.77±2.77 µg/ml) and metal-chelating activities (IC50, 40.67±0.89 - 90.92±3.92 µg/ml). In general, it was presumed that M. longifolia may be an expected wellspring of phenolic and flavonoid mixes bearing a considerate of the antioxidant character towards animal tissues.
