Article Synopsis
  • Diverse allelochemicals from plants can either stimulate or inhibit the growth of other plants, and this study focuses on the effects of Tamarindus indica L. seed exudate (TSE) on the medicinal herb, Bacopa monnieri.
  • The research found that treating Bacopa monnieri seedlings with a specific concentration of TSE (1:4 seed weight:water) significantly boosted the production of secondary metabolites and genes related to bacoside biosynthesis, leading to a 1.7-fold increase in bacoside levels compared to control samples.
  • The study also identified key compounds in TSE, including lupanine, chlorogenic acid, and mucic acid, as potential allelochemicals

Article Synopsis
  • - The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has enhanced healthcare by linking medical devices and patients, but it raises privacy concerns due to the vulnerability of sensitive data to security threats.
  • - The paper introduces a Timestamp-based Secret Key Generation (T-SKG) scheme that creates secret keys directly on patient devices and regenerates them on doctors' devices, reducing the risk of key compromise.
  • - Simulation results show that T-SKG provides strong security against various attacks, with only a 9% chance of key compromise in guessing attacks, while also utilizing the Data Encryption Standard (DES) for data encryption in transmitting health vitals.

Human activity recognition (HAR) is an eminent area of research due to its extensive scope of applications in remote health monitoring, sports, smart home, and many more. Smartphone-based HAR systems use high-dimensional sensor data to infer human physical activities. Researchers continuously endeavor to select pertinent and non-redundant features without compromising the classification accuracy.

Identification of human physical activities is an active research area since long due to its application in personalized health and fitness monitoring. The performance accuracy of human activity recognition (HAR) models mainly depend on the features which are extracted from domain knowledge. The features are the input of the classification algorithm to efficiently identify human physical activities.
