Evaluation of crop water stress index of wheat by using machine learning models.

The Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI), a pivotal indicator derived from canopy temperature, plays a crucial role in irrigation scheduling for water conservation in agriculture. This study focuses on determining CWSI (by empirical method) for wheat crops in the semi-arid region of western Uttar Pradesh, India, subjected to varying irrigation treatments across two cropping seasons (2021-2022 and 2022-2023). The aim is to investigate further the potential of four machine learning (ML) models-support vector regression (SVR), random forest regression (RFR), artificial neural network (ANN), and multiple linear regression (MLR) to predict CWSI.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome in Spinal Cord Injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI), in addition to motor and sensory problems, may also lead to autonomic dysfunction. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one of them and has often been reported in traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, and other spinal cord pathologies. However, there is not much data on POTS in SCI even in extensive databases.

Decoding the molecular properties of mycobacteriophage D29 Holin provides insights into Holin engineering.

Holins are bacteriophage-encoded small transmembrane proteins that determine the phage infection cycle duration by forming non-specific holes in the host cell membrane at a specific time post-infection. Thus, Holins are also termed as "Protein clocks". Holins have one or more transmembrane domains, and a charged C-terminal region, which, although conserved among Holins, has not yet been examined in detail.
