Explainable light-weight deep learning pipeline for improved drought stress identification.

Introduction: Early identification of drought stress in crops is vital for implementing effective mitigation measures and reducing yield loss. Non-invasive imaging techniques hold immense potential by capturing subtle physiological changes in plants under water deficit. Sensor-based imaging data serves as a rich source of information for machine learning and deep learning algorithms, facilitating further analysis that aims to identify drought stress.

Unraveling Chlorite Oxidation Pathways in Equatorially Heteroatom-Substituted Nonheme Iron Complexes.

The first-coordination sphere of catalysts is known to play a crucial role in reaction mechanisms, but details of how equatorial ligands influence the reactivity remain unknown. Heteroatom ligated to the equatorial position of iron centers in nonheme iron metalloenzymes modulates structure and reactivity. To investigate the impact of equatorial heteroatom substitution on chlorite oxidation, we synthesized and characterized three novel mononuclear nonheme iron(II) complexes with a pentadentate bispidine scaffold.

The impact of ligand chain length on the HER performance of atomically precise Pt(SR) nanoclusters.

Atomically precise metal cluster-based electrocatalysts have been paid significant attention for an efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we have synthesized atomically precise Pt(SR) nanoclusters using 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), 6-mercaptohexanoic acid (MHA), 8-mercaptooctanoic acid (MOA), and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) thiol ligands in aqueous media at room temperature to understand the impact of ligand chain length on the HER performance. The composition of Pt(SR) metal clusters was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy in India: Past, Present, and Future.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has emerged as a key area of interest among researchers worldwide, including those in India, who have actively studied the disorder over the past several decades. This review meticulously explores the extensive range of Indian research on PSP up to the present and offers insights into both current initiatives and potential future directions for managing PSP within the region. Historical research contributions have spanned 80 publications from 1974 to 2023, encompassing diverse themes from clinical phenotyping and historical analysis to isolated investigative studies and therapeutic trials.

Advancements in nanotheranostics for glioma therapy.

Gliomas are brain tumors mainly derived from glial cells that are difficult to treat and cause high mortality. Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgical excision are the conventional treatments for gliomas. Patients who have surgery or have undergone chemotherapy for glioma treatment have poor prognosis with tumor recurrence.
