Constructing a metadata knowledge graph as an atlas for demystifying AI pipeline optimization.

The emergence of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models has driven the development of frameworks and approaches that focus on automating model training and hyperparameter tuning of end-to-end AI pipelines. However, other crucial stages of these pipelines such as dataset selection, feature engineering, and model optimization for deployment have received less attention. Improving efficiency of end-to-end AI pipelines requires metadata of past executions of AI pipelines and all their stages.

Optimizing the production and efficacy of antimicrobial bioactive compounds from in combating multi-drug-resistant pathogens.

Background: The rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has intensified the search for novel antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to isolate from local soil samples and evaluate its antimicrobial properties, along with optimizing the production of bioactive compounds.

Methods: Soil samples were collected from local regions, processed, and analysed for Streptomyces strains isolation using morphological characteristics and molecular identification through 16S rRNA gene PCR assay.

Neuromodulatory Effect of Lactate on Visual Evoked Potential After Acute Exercise in Healthy Adult Males.

Background Lactate, once considered merely a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, is now recognized as a crucial neuromodulator in the brain, particularly during high-energy demands. Recent studies have explored its role in neuroprotection, cognitive enhancement, and neural plasticity. This study investigates the effects of elevated blood lactate levels, induced by acute exercise, on visual evoked potentials (VEPs), which reflect neural activity in the visual cortex.

Extension of shelf-life of mangoes using PLA-cardanol-amine functionalized graphene active films.

Multifunctional PLA films were fabricated through the solution casting method by incorporating cardanol oil (CA) and amine-functionalized graphene (AFG). The effect of the CA, and AFG on the structural, mechanical, thermal, thermo-mechanical and antioxidant properties of PLA films were investigated. FTIR analysis of PLA-CA films showed distinct peak positions at 1590 cm corresponding to the aromatic CC bonds of CA, showing that CA is compatible with the PLA.
