A multivariate study on the effect of 3D printing parameters on the printability of gluten-free composite dough.

Background: The advancement of three-dimensional (3D) food printing technology is significantly influencing the food processing industry. The present study utilized extrusion 3D printing to create a gluten-free dough composed of little millet flour (LMF), amaranth seed flour (ASF) and curry leaf flour (CLF). The primary objective was to elucidate the effects of various extrusion-based 3D printing conditions, including extruder nozzle diameter (ND), extrusion rate (ER), print speed (PS) and layer height (LH) on the printability parameters of the dough.

Predicting Breast Cancer Relapse from Histopathological Images with Ensemble Machine Learning Models.

Relapse and metastasis occur in 30-40% of breast cancer patients, even after targeted treatments like trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer. Accurate individual prognosis is essential for determining appropriate adjuvant treatment and early intervention. This study aims to enhance relapse and metastasis prediction using an innovative framework with machine learning (ML) and ensemble learning (EL) techniques.

Role of Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Congenital Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction.

Background: Although congenital ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is the most common cause of neonatal hydronephrosis, aetiopathogenesis is still inconclusive. Recently, the paucity of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) at the narrow adynamic part of UPJ has been implicated as a causative factor.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study was conducted between October 2019 and March 2022 to find out the density of ICC by the immunohistochemical method using CD117 (c-kit) antibody, in resected segments of UPJ in obstruction patients and in renal tumour patients as control.

Assessment of Genetic Diversity and the Population Structure of Species from the Species Complex Causing Stalk Rot of Maize.

stalk rot (FSR), caused by the species complex, is an economic threat to maize cultivation all over the world. We investigated the population structure and genetic diversity of species obtained from five major maize-growing regions in India. The locus was used for phylogenetic analysis of geographically distinct isolates of , , , , and causing FSR.

Unveiling the molecular mechanisms of pigmentation control in Queen Loach, Botia dario (Hamilton, 1822): Insights from sesame seed and marigold-induced antityrosinase effects.

Fish pigmentation study can reveal understandings in dermatological research based on functional genomics. Cultured ornamental fish becomes dull coloured and antityrosinase activity through sesame seed may enhance skin colour, which has not been studied. Botia dario is an indigenous fish, having ornamental and aesthetic value and can be studied as a model for fish pigmentation genetics.

Estimating phenotypic stability for relevant yield and quality traits in French bean ( L.) using AMMI analysis.

The presence of strong G x E (genotype by environment interaction) is a major hurdle for selecting superior genotypes when genotypes are placed into new and unfamiliar production systems. Genotype or cultivar (s) with high yield potential and having less adaptability and stability to particular environment is never a suitable choice for a breeder and farmer particularly. Purposefully, four successive seasons were chosen to enumerate the phenotypic stability of 27 French bean genotypes for yield and quality traits by involving modern statistical tools like AMMI (Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction), GGE [G + (G x E)] and cluster analysis.

Unveiling the Microbiome Landscape: A Metagenomic Study of Bacterial Diversity, Antibiotic Resistance, and Virulence Factors in the Sediments of the River Ganga, India.

The global rise in antibiotic resistance, fueled by indiscriminate antibiotic usage in medicine, aquaculture, agriculture, and the food industry, presents a significant public health challenge. Urban wastewater and sewage treatment plants have become key sources of antibiotic resistance proliferation. The present study focuses on the river Ganges in India, which is heavily impacted by human activities and serves as a potential hotspot for the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Ultrasound-mediated hydration of finger millet: Effects on antinutrients, techno-functional and bioactive properties, with evaluation of ANN-PSO and RSM optimization methods.

Finger millet, rich in nutrients, faces bioavailability limitations due to antinutrients like phytates and tannins that can be reduced by ultrasound mediated hydration (USH). Here, USH process of finger millet was optimized by varying ultrasound amplitude, water to grain ratio (W:G), treatment time, and frequency for reducing antinutrients and improving techno-functional attributes. USH resulted in a maximum reduction of 73% and 71% in phytates and tannins, respectively.

An Immunohistochemical Study of Proliferation of Human Fetal Heart Cardiomyocyte With Phospho-Histone H3 Antibody.

The rapid proliferation of cardiomyocytes in mammals occurs during fetal life. But in postnatal life, this capacity of proliferation is reduced or lost as they exit the cell cycle. However, the cardiomyocytes don't show the same activity for different species.

The Impact of Periodic Formative Assessments on Learning Through the Lens of the Complex Adaptive System and Social Sustainability Principles.

Purpose: Medical institutions in India have employed different periodic formative assessment (FA) methods with variable impact. The formative evaluation must incorporate feedback to improve learning. Formative assessment has helped inexperienced students apprehend their weaknesses, make choices, prepare for summative exams, and allow teachers to identify regions wherein students may also need aid.

Economic evaluation of participatory women's groups scaled up by the public health system to improve birth outcomes in Jharkhand, eastern India.

An estimated 2.4 million newborn infants died in 2020, 80% of them in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. To achieve the Sustainable Development Target for neonatal mortality reduction, countries with high mortality need to implement evidence-based, cost-effective interventions at scale.

Radial artery duplication: Unusual point-of-care-ultrasonography finding during arterial cannulation.

The radial artery is the most common choice for arterial cannulation, coronary interventions, and various interventional radiological procedures. Here, we describe a case of unilateral duplication of the radial artery detected during radial artery cannulation using point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS). The duplication of the radial artery in the forearm can hinder trans-radial access secondary to variations in the diameter.

On the Sintering Behavior of NbO and TaO Mixed Oxide Powders.

A mixed oxide system consisting of NbO and TaO was subjected to annealing in air/hydrogen up to 950 °C for 1-4 h to study its sintering behavior. The thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) thermograms indicated the formation of multiple endothermic peaks at temperatures higher than 925 °C. Subsequently, a 30% TaO and 70% NbO (mol%) pellet resulted in good sintering behavior at both 900 and 950 °C.
