The agriculture sector is confronted with numerous challenges in the quest for accurate crop yield estimation, which is essential for efficient resource management and mitigating food scarcity in a rapidly growing global population. This research paper delves into the application of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to enhance crop yield estimation in the context of diverse agricultural challenges. Through a systematic literature review and analysis of relevant studies, this paper explores the role of AI methods, such as Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), in addressing the complexities posed by geographical variations, crop diversity, and cultivation areas.

This study was proposed to examine antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antidepressant potentials of methanol extract of leaves (MEWF) and its derived n-hexane (NHFMEWF) and ethyl acetate (EAFMEWF) fractions through in vitro, in vivo, and computational models. Among test samples, MEWF and EAFMEWF contained the highest phenolic content and showed maximal antioxidant activity in DPPH radical scavenging and ferric reducing power assays.

One of the challenges to contain COVID-19 is convincing people to adopt personal hygiene, social distancing, and self-quarantine practices that are related to knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the residents of respective countries. Bangladesh, a densely populated country with a fast-growing economy and moderate literacy rate, has shown many hiccups in its efforts to implement COVID-19 policies.

Most oocytes were arrested at the first prophase of meiosis when oocytes were cultured in TCM 199 alone, but the proportion of oocytes that reached metaphase II was significantly elevated by co-incubation with spermatozoa in vitro. The oocyte maturation effect was observed with intact and parts of spermatozoa (head and tail) collected from adult swine (regardless of source).
