Increased soluble salts in soil and irrigation water threaten the sustainability of crops. This causes food insecurity directly by reducing the staple crop yield and indirectly by limiting fodder and forage production. Recently, plant-growth-promoting rhizosphere microorganism utilization improved crop productivity under stress.

Distal femoral anterior cortical perforation is a rare complication of intramedullary nailing for proximal femur fractures. Awareness and intraoperative preventive measures are key to minimizing the risk of this complication. We report a case of a patient who experienced an anterior cortical breach of the distal femur during routine antegrade nailing for an intertrochanteric fracture, which was attributed to a sclerotic lesion in the distal femur.

Traditional gait recognition methods rely on appearance-based approaches that utilize background-subtracted silhouette sequences to extract gait features. While effective and easy to compute, these methods are susceptible to variations in clothing, carried objects, and illumination changes, compromising the extraction of discriminative features in real-world applications.

We adopted a simplified surgical approach involving resection of the protruding medial clavicular fragment instead of fixation of the non-union. This approach led to the rapid healing of soft tissues while maintaining an ulcer-free status and adequate shoulder function at the one-year follow-up.

Seeds with high vigour could improve seed germination, support seedlings in competing with weeds for water and nutrients, and improving seedling establishment throughout the early stages of crop growth. The success of DSR system which account for more 25% of world cultivation areas is highly dependent on the seed vigour and seedling establishment.

Allografts reduce donor-site morbidity and surgery duration but are costly and may prolong graft integration times. We aimed to assess various allograft subtypes for their efficacy and failure rates in RACLR.

Long-duration spaceflight is associated with pathophysiological changes in the intracranial compartment hypothetically linked to microgravity-induced headward fluid shift. This study aimed to determine whether daily artificial gravity (AG) sessions can mitigate these effects, supporting its application as a countermeasure to spaceflight. Twenty-four healthy adult volunteers (16 men) were exposed to 60 days of 6° head-down tilt bed rest (HDTBR) as a ground-based analog of chronic headward fluid shift.

Mobile devices have the potential to facilitate remote tasks through Augmented Reality (AR) solutions by integrating digital information into the real world. Although prior studies have explored Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) for co-located collaboration, none have investigated the impact of various viewing attributes that can influence remote task performance, such as target object viewing angles, synchronization styles, or having a secondary small screen showing other users current view in the MAR environment. In this paper, we explore five techniques considering these attributes, specifically designed for two modes of remote tasks: collaborative and competitive.

The aim of this study was to compare clinicopathological features, mismatch repair protein status, and expression of certain immunohistochemical stains between young and old groups. The study included 180 cases and found significant histological and immunohistochemical differences between the two groups.

Methods: We performed magnetic resonance imaging in 26 patients at 1, 14, 28, and 42 days of onset and measured their hematoma volume (HV), ventricular blood volume (VBV), and two diffusion metrics: fractional anisotropy (FA), and mean diffusivity (MD). The ipasilesional ventricular cerebral spinal fluid's FA and MD were associated with VBV and stroke severity scores (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]).
Bangladesh is blessed with an extensive range of solar energy generation possibilities; however, the primary impediment to attaining its full potential in the solar energy industry is the inadequate budget in the energy sector. As a result, determining the most economical and efficient solar module configuration for each specific scenario has become a critical necessity. This study offers a comprehensive techno-economic analysis and environmental impact assessment of four distinct solar modules: monofacial, bifacial, dual-axis solar tracker, and seasonal tilt solar module, in an open area of South Sakucia Union, Bhola district, in the southwest part of Bangladesh.
