Zinc-lysine and iron-lysine mitigate chromium toxicity in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) through modulating photosynthetic and antioxidant system and inhibiting chromium uptake and translocation.

Chromium (Cr) is an ever-present abiotic stress that negatively affects crop cultivation and production worldwide. High rhizospheric Cr concentrations inhibit nutrients uptake and their translocation to aboveground parts, thus can affect the growth and development of crop plants. This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of sole and combined zinc-lysine and iron-lysine applications on photosynthetic efficacy, antioxidative defense, oxidative stress, and nutrient uptake and translocation under Cr stress.

Adsorption and Sensing Performance of Transition Metal Decorated Graphene Quantum Dots for AsH, NH, PH, and HS.

We have conducted a systematic study employing density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) to explore the gas sensing capabilities of nitrogen-doped single vacancy graphene quantum dots (SV/3N) decorated with transition metals (TM = Mn, Co, Cu). We have studied the interactions between TM@SV/3N and four different target gases (AsH, NH, PH, and HS) through the computation of adsorption energies, charge transfer, noncovalent interaction, density of states, band gap, and work function for 12 distinct adsorption systems. Our comprehensive analysis included an in-depth assessment of sensors' stability, sensitivity, selectivity, and reusability for practical applications.

Pterygium extended removal followed by minor ipsilateral simple limbal epithelial transplantation (PERMISLET): An innovative technique for recurrent pterygium.

We describe a novel technique for recurrent pterygium and assess the advantage of properties of extended tenonectomy, amniotic membrane transplantation, and limbal epithelial transplantation in terms of recurrence rate, postoperative symptoms, postoperative orthoptics, and other complications. A total of nine eyes with recurrent pterygium underwent PERMISLET, i.e.

Designing a summative assessment blueprint in community medicine: an expert consensus approach at All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

Background: Despite the increasing integration of competency-based education in medicine, there remains a significant gap in effectively assessing educational outcomes, underscoring the urgent need for designed assessment blueprints that accurately reflect both curriculum content and competency standards in Community Medicine for undergraduate students. This study, conducted across the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) network, develops a summative assessment blueprint aimed at standardizing evaluations in medical education across diverse geographic locations in India.

Methods: Twenty-five experts from 10 All India Institutes of Medical Science were invited via email and contributed for summative assessment for a theory paper.

Secure cloud computing: leveraging GNN and leader K-means for intrusion detection optimization.

Over the past two decades, cloud computing has experienced exponential growth, becoming a critical resource for organizations and individuals alike. However, this rapid adoption has introduced significant security challenges, particularly in intrusion detection, where traditional systems often struggle with low detection accuracy and high processing times. To address these limitations, this research proposes an optimized Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that leverages Graph Neural Networks and the Leader K-means clustering algorithm.
