Transfer learning model for anomalous event recognition in big video data.

Video surveillance faces challenges due to the need for improved anomalous event recognition techniques for human activity recognition. Growing security concerns make standard CCTV systems insufficient because of high monitoring costs and operator exhaustion. Therefore, automated security systems with real-time event recognition are essential.

Social history and glaucoma progression: the effect of body mass index, tobacco and alcohol consumption on the rates of structural change in patients with glaucoma.

Background/aims: Although obesity, tobacco and alcohol consumption were linked to the progression of numerous chronic diseases, an association of these social history aspects with glaucoma progression is not yet determined. This study aims to investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) and history of tobacco and alcohol use on the rates of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) change over time in glaucoma patients.

Methods: 2839 eyes of 1584 patients with glaucoma from the Duke Ophthalmic Registry were included.

Some novel bioactivities of carotenoids, isolated from Wadi El-Natrun lakes.

Carotenoids come in second among the most frequent natural pigments and are utilized in medications, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, food pigments, and feed supplements. Based on recent complementary work, Virgibacillus was announced for the first time as a member of Wadi El-Natrun salt and soda lakes microbiota, identified as Virgibacillus halodenitrificans, and named V. halodenitrificans DASH; hence, this work aimed to investigate several medicinal bioactivities of V.

Production, purification, and characterization of cold-active lipase from the psychrotroph Pseudomonas sp. A6.

Cold-active lipases are presently employed extensively in the detergent, chemical intermediate, fine chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Seven cold-adaptive bacteria were isolated from the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria, Egypt, and tested for their ability to produce cold-active lipase, with the highest activity at 10 °C. The most potent isolate was Pseudomonas sp.

Carotegenic from Wadi El-Natrun Salt Lakes: Isolation, Optimization, Characterization and Biological Activities of Carotenoids.

Carotenoids, as phytonutrient pigments, are signified by their unique beneficial features that serve human health and the surrounding ecosystem. Haloalkaliphiles from soda lakes produce different natural bioactive molecules; however, their ability to produce carotenoids has been limited. Therefore, this study focused on the screening and isolation of carotenoid-producing haloalkaliphilic microbes.
