Production of an amylase from newly Bacillus strain: Optimization by response-surface methodology, characterization and application with a fungal lipase in bread making.

Using the statistical approaches, the optimization of amylase production by a newly Bacillus strain was achieved. Keeping the insignificant factor at lower levels and following the optimized condition (inoculum size 0.3; 19 h of incubation; 18 g L of starch; 4 g L of MgSO; and 15 g L NaCl) the amylase activity has reached 18.

The association between precarious employment and stress among working aged individuals in the United States.

Objective: Precarious employment is a plausible stressor, which may adversely affect health. We investigated the association between multidimensional precarious employment and perceived and biological stress in the U.S.

A new intelligent system based deep learning to detect DME and AMD in OCT images.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is widely recognized as the leading modality for assessing ocular retinal diseases, playing a crucial role in diagnosing retinopathy while maintaining a non-invasive modality. The increasing volume of OCT images underscores the growing importance of automating image analysis. Age-related diabetic Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) are the most common cause of visual impairment.

Optimization of newly isolated α-amylase production using orange peels and crab shells and application in wastewater treatment.

A newly isolated amylolytic strain was identified as based on 16S and 16-23S gene sequencing (Accession numbers OP811441.1 and OP819558, respectively), optimization strategies, using one variable at time (OVAT) and Plackett-Burman design, were employed to improve the alpha-amylase (α-amylase) production. Condition inferred revealed that the optimal physical parameters for maximum enzyme production were 30 °C, pH 7.
