Cell wall polysaccharides (dietary fiber) in cereal grains contribute to health benefits. The novelty of the current study was an effort to explore the in vivo therapeutic potential of different cereal bran cell walls against hypercholesterolemia. For this purpose, the cell walls were isolated from different cereal brans (wheat, maize, oats, and barley), and the intake of these cereal bran cell walls was evaluated for their anti-lipidemic activity in normal and hypercholesterolemic rats.

Low-oxalate diets are useful for treating hyperoxaluria in nephrolithiasis patients. This study was unique in examining how a low-oxalate diet in addition to a standard diet affected hyperoxaluria and renal function tests in nephrolithiasis patients. The effects of a low-oxalate diet were analyzed by different biochemical tests, that is, anthropometric measurements, blood oxalate test, renal function test, electrolyte profile test, and 24 h urine analysis.

This research work investigates the experimental work of a single-cylinder diesel engine operated with royal poinciana biodiesel blends with various proportions of 10, 20, and 30% volume with 1-butanol as an effective ignition-improving additive. The test blends were indicated as D90RP7B3 (90% diesel + 7% royal poinciana biodiesel + 3% butanol), D80RP14B6 (80% diesel + 14% royal poinciana biodiesel + 6% butanol), D70RP21B9 (70% diesel + 21% royal poinciana biodiesel + 9% butanol), and pure royal poinciana biodiesel (RP100) and diesel. The significant findings or results obtained during the experimentation are that BTE is suitable for blend D90RP7B3, and the least BSFC is found for blend D90RP7B3 in the 0.

A notable advancement in fuzzy set theory is the q-rung linear diophantine fuzzy set. The soft set theory was expanded into the hypersoft set theory. By combining both the q-rung linear diophantine fuzzy set and hypersoft set, this study describes the notion of q-rung linear diophantine fuzzy hypersoft set that can handle multi sub-attributed q-rung linear diophantine fuzzy situations in the real world.

WHOOP: whale optimization-based optimal placement of hub node within a WBAN.

Sci Rep

February 2024

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad, India.

Biosensor nodes of a wireless body area network (WBAN) transmit physiological parameter data to a central hub node, spending a substantial portion of their energy. Therefore, it is crucial to determine an optimal location for hub placement to minimize node energy consumption in data transmission. Existing methods determine the optimal hub location by sequentially placing the hub at multiple random locations within the WBAN.

Deep learning recently achieved advancement in the segmentation of medical images. In this regard, U-Net is the most predominant deep neural network, and its architecture is the most prevalent in the medical imaging society. Experiments conducted on difficult datasets directed us to the conclusion that the traditional U-Net framework appears to be deficient in certain respects, despite its overall excellence in segmenting multimodal medical images.

The current approach to diagnosing and classifying brain tumors relies on the histological evaluation of biopsy samples, which is invasive, time-consuming, and susceptible to manual errors. These limitations underscore the pressing need for a fully automated, deep-learning-based multi-classification system for brain malignancies. This article aims to leverage a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to enhance early detection and presents three distinct CNN models designed for different types of classification tasks.

Insect consumption is a traditional practice in many countries. Currently, the urgent need for ensuring food sustainability and the high pressure from degrading environment are urging food scientists to rethink the possibility of introducing edible insects as a promising food type. However, due to the lack of the standardized legislative rules and the adequate scientific data that demonstrate the safety of edible insects, many countries still consider it a grey area to introduce edible insects into food supply chains.

In this study, the oil-in-water nanoemulsion (NE) was prepared and loaded with vitamin D in food-grade (edible) canola oil and stabilized by Tween 80 and Span 80 by using a water titration technique with droplet sizes of 20 to 200 nm. A phase diagram was established for the influence of water, oil, and S-Mix concentration. The outcomes revealed that the particle size of blank canola oil nanoemulsion (NE) ranged from 60.

In developing countries, child health and restraining under-five child mortality are one of the fundamental concerns. UNICEF adopted sustainable development goal 3 (SDG3) to reduce the under-five child mortality rate globally to 25 deaths per 1,000 live births. The under-five mortality rate is 69 deaths per 1,000 live child-births in Pakistan as reported by the Demographic and Health Survey (2018).
