Published: August 2021

Abstract
The laundry liquid wastewater contains detergents and phosphates which are nutrients for plant which can also causepollution, explosive growth of aquatic biota, and aquatic ecosystems eutrophication. The great potential of laundrywaste requires an efficient and inexpensive waste treatment model to reduce the phosphate content. This study aimsto examine the effect of wetlands on laundry wastewater, straw soaking water, and the use of effluent as a liquidfertilizer for rice plants. As well as analyzing the fate of toxic detergents (ABS) in rice grains on a laboratory scale.The results showed the wetland was able to reduce the pollutants level in laundry wastewater and toxic organic bondswith the BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, Detergent, Phosphate reduction efficiency between 49% - 95%; has met the PERDADIY no. 7 of 2016 about Quality Standard. The operating conditions that provided the optimum results in this studywere the laundry wastewater treatment model and the utilization of effluent as liquid fertilizer for rice plants withstraw soaking water neutralization with minimum discharge variations resulting in effluent quality and quantity ofharvested products of 75 gr/0.4 m2 and there is a detergent residue content of 24.80 mg/kg; without straw soaking,yields 155 gr/0.4 m2 with detergent residue content of 32.65 mg/kg. Iconic and diagrammatic models of laundrywastewater treatment were obtained based on the quality variable, quantity variable, and the effluent pre-treatmentcapacity variable thus it can be used as liquid fertilizer for rice plants to describe the behavior of the real system. Thefactor that has a high influence on system performance, but the dependence between factors is low, namely the effluent flow discharge into the wetland.

Abstract
The continuous evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome and the consequent substitutions observed in the amino acid sequences, can induce significant changes in parameters such as diffusivity and pathogenicity, and causes constant concern regarding the efficacy of vaccines against the new variants in circulation. In recent months there has been an increase in the number of infections first in India, and more recently in the United Kingdom. The genome sequencing of the samples showed that this increase coincided with the emergence of a new variant, B.1.617.2, also known as VOC Delta. This variant is rapidly becoming dominant in several countries, causing increasing concern for its extreme diffusivity and its ability to often overcome the vaccines. The high diffusivity of this variant is normally ascribed to the Spike protein mutations. However, we will show here that it is rather due to the nucleocapsid substitution N:G215C. This is made clear by comparing, in the genomic sequences available on the GISAID database, the relative increase of the Delta variant with and without the associated N:G215C substitution. Once the extreme diffusivity of the Delta variant with associated nucleocapsid aminoacidic substitution is evidenced, we tentatively explain it as possibly due to the adaptive effect of the highly selective environment in Countries with high levels of vaccination.
CT-MRI Dual Information Registration for the Diagnosis of Liver Cancer: A Pilot Study Using Point-based Registration
Authors: Rahimi Aisyah , Khalil Azira , Faisal Amir , Lai Khin Wee 
Published: August 2021

Background:
Early diagnosis of liver cancer may increase life expectancy. Computed
Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) play a vital role in diagnosing liver
cancer. Together, both modalities offer significant individual and specific diagnosis data to physicians;
however, they lack the integration of both types of information. To address this concern, a
registration process has to be utilized for the purpose, as multimodal details are crucial in providing
the physician with complete information.

Objective:
The aim was to present a model of CT-MRI registration used to diagnose liver cancer,
specifically for improving the quality of the liver images and provide all the required information
for earlier detection of the tumors. This method should concurrently address the issues of imaging
procedures for liver cancer to fasten the detection of the tumor from both modalities.

Methods:
In this work, a registration scheme for fusing the CT and MRI liver images is studied. A
feature point-based method with normalized cross-correlation has been utilized to aid in the diagnosis
of liver cancer and provide multimodal information to physicians. Data on ten patients from an
online database were obtained. For each dataset, three planar views from both modalities were interpolated
and registered using feature point-based methods. The registration of algorithms was carried
out by MATLAB (vR2019b, Mathworks, Natick, USA) on an Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-5200U
CPU @ 2.20 GHz computer. The accuracy of the registered image is being validated qualitatively
and quantitatively.

Results:
The results show that an accurate registration is obtained with minimal distance errors by
which CT and MRI were accurately registered based on the validation of the experts. The RMSE
ranges from 0.02 to 1.01 for translation, which is equivalent in magnitude to approximately 0 to 5
pixels for CT and registered image resolution.

Conclusion:
The CT-MRI registration scheme can provide complementary information on liver
cancer to physicians, thus improving the diagnosis and treatment planning process.
Anti-Cancer and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Furanocoumarins from Ammi majus L.
Authors: Balkrishna Acharya , Arya Vedpriya , Sharma Ishwar Prakash 
Published: August 2021

:Secondary metabolites have potential benefits to human being. They are used in the food, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries. The secondary metabolite of furanocoumarins from different plant sources is essential in various skin-related ailments. Biologically, these chemicals are isolated from different plants in the Apiaceae, Fabaceae, Rutaceae and Moraceae families. Ammi majus L. is one of the most common plants in the family of Apiaceae with a large quantity of derivatives. The furanocoumarin derivatives defend the plant by fighting external enemies by Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR). Via suppressing or retarding microbial growth in infected parts, these derivatives, along with SAR, help to alleviate inflammation in the human body. Latest evidence of these compounds has been established in the treatment of cancer, but the mechanism that needs to be elaborated is not yet understood. Recent studies have shown that furanocoumarin derivatives bind to DNA base pairs and block DNA replication. This may be a potential pathway that helps to regulate the growth of cancerous cells. This article reflects on the pharmaceutical data of furanocoumarins and their different mechanisms in these cases.
Protective Effect of Monoisoamyl-2, 3-Dimercaptosuccinic Acid against Manganese-induced Neurotoxicity in Rats
Authors: Mishra Awanish , Dahia Anjali , Jaiswal Amit 
Published: August 2021

Background:
Apart from being an essential heavy metal, Manganese (Mn) serves as an
important component of the antioxidant enzyme system in humans. Overexposure to manganese
leads to the development of manganism, which is characterized by motor dysfunction along with
neurodegeneration. The management of manganism often utilizes chelation therapy. In this regard,
Monoisoamyl-2, 3-Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (MiADMSA) has been reported as a novel arsenic
chelator, due to the presence of vicinal sulfhydril group. MiADMSA has been reported to reduce
the level in divalent ions (like copper) therefore, it may be hypothesized that MiADMSA would be
helpful in Mn-induced neurotoxicity.

Objective:
This study is envisaged to explore the protective effect of MiADMSA on Mn-induced
neurotoxicity.

Method:
Mn exposure was carried out by intraperitoneal administration of Mn (as manganese
chloride, 10 mg/kg; i.p.). The animals were treated with MiADMSA (50 mg/kg; p.o.) either alone
or in combination with Mn. The effect of different treatments on neurobehavioral functions was observed
by assessing spontaneous locomotor activity, motor rotarod test, and depression-like behavior
in the forced swim test. After behavioral evaluations, all the animals were sacrificed and the
brain and liver were isolated for metal estimations.

Results:
Mn exposure leads to loss of motor coordination as observed in spontaneous locomotor activity
and rotarod test. However, treatment with MiADMSA significantly improved motor impairments
as compared to Mn exposed animals. Accumulation of Mn in the liver and brain has been recorded
with Mn exposure; however, MiADMSA treatment significantly reduced the Mn content
from the liver and brain.

Conclusion:
The outcome of the study suggests that treatment with MiADMSA reversed Mn-induced
neurotoxicity by reducing Mn load. Therefore, the use of MiADMSA may be suggested in
manganese toxicity, after careful investigation.

Authors: Bolaños Julian Andres , Campo Arcos Liseth Viviana , Corrales Muñoz Juan Carlos 
Published: August 2021

Plant health has a direct impact on the quality and quantity of agricultural products. Due to this fact, farmers must monitor crop conditions frequently. However, the current tools for achieving this are complex and inaccessible. Therefore, this article proposes a method for the characterization of crops that allows to monitor the plants using photographs in the visible and infrared spectrum acquired from a multi-rotor air vehicle, using low-cost cameras and free use tools for designing a prototype of processing information. The characterization is performed by identifying the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the photographic mosaics of the crops. This index provides information about plant health: Consequently, it is calculated and represented on a NDVI map, where the status of a crop is analyzed. The highest values of NDVI represent healthy plants, and the lowest do so for plants with problems, water, or others. The proposed ethod allows the monitoring of crops in a temporary and spatial form, letting a producer to adopt measures that help the optimization of resources.
