The soil-borne fungal pathogen Athelia rolfsii: past, present, and future concern in legumes.

Legumes are ubiquitous, low-cost meals that are abundant in protein, vitamins, minerals, and calories. Several biotic constraints are to blame for the global output of legumes not meeting expectations. Fungi, in particular, are substantial restrictions that not only hinder production but also pose a serious health risk to both human and livestock consumption.

Air mapping during COVID-19 and association between air pollutants and physiochemical parameters of the plants using structural equal modeling: a case study.

In urban areas around the world, air pollution introduced by vehicular movement is a key concern. However, restricting vehicular traffic during the COVID-19 shutdown improved air quality to some extent. This study was conducted out in the smart city of Bhubaneswar, which is also the state capital of Odisha, India.

Classifying histopathological images of oral squamous cell carcinoma using deep transfer learning.

Oral cancer is a prevalent malignancy that affects the oral cavity in the region of head and neck. The study of oral malignant lesions is an essential step for the clinicians to provide a better treatment plan at an early stage for oral cancer. Deep learning based computer-aided diagnostic system has achieved success in many applications and can provide an accurate and timely diagnosis of oral malignant lesions.

Hypnopedia in Pediatric Dentistry: A Concept That Warrants Exploration.

Scientists throughout the world have been intrigued by the concept of hypnopedia or sleep learning. This concept was initially thought to be useful in learning new languages when heard during sleep. While having been in and out of favor with researchers over the years, recent evidence has supported the possibility that hypnopedia can actually take place.

Fuzzy weighted Bayesian belief network: a medical knowledge-driven Bayesian model using fuzzy weighted rules.

In this current work, Weighted Bayesian Association rules using the Fuzzy set theory are proposed with the new concept of Fuzzy Weighted Bayesian Association Rules to design and develop a Clinical Decision Support System on the Bayesian Belief Network, which is an appropriate area to work in Clinical Domain as it has a higher degree of unpredictability and causality. Weighted Bayesian Association rules to construct a Bayesian network are already proposed. A "Sharp boundary" issue related to quantitative attribute domains may cause erroneous predictions in medicine and treatment in the medical environment.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of p53, CD10 and Ki67 Expression as Prognostic Biomarkers in Urinary Bladder Carcinomas Correlating with Age, Histomorphology, Grade and Stage: An Institutional Study of One and Half Year.

Background: Bladder carcinoma ranks tenth among all cancers worldwide predominantly affecting elderly males. Common risk factors being cigarette smoke and aniline dyes. Immunohistochemical markers play a pivotal role for its diagnosis and prognosis.

Imprint Cytology Can Be a Better Option for Diagnosis of Mammary Paget's Disease!!!: A Case Report with Review.

Mammary Paget's disease (MPD) is a rare form of pruritic eczematous skin lesion involving the nipple areola complex usually associated with an underlying or invasive carcinoma of breast, accounting ≤ 4% of overall breast carcinoma. The patient may present with nipple discharge, eczema, plaque, or nipple destruction with or without a lump which is resistant to common remedies. Diagnosis of MPD is usually accomplished by a punch biopsy, but imprint cytology is found to be an effective modern technique yet less explored.

Weighted Bayesian Belief Network: A Computational Intelligence Approach for Predictive Modeling in Clinical Datasets.

There are growing concerns about the mortality due to Breast cancer many of which often result from delayed detection and treatment. So an effective computational approach is needed to develop a predictive model which will help patients and physicians to manage the situation timely. This study presented a Weighted Bayesian Belief Network (WBBN) modeling for breast cancer prediction using the UCI breast cancer dataset.

Photocatalytic and photo-electrochemical ammonia synthesis over dimensional oriented cobalt titanate/nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide junction interface catalyst.

Nitrogen reduction to ammonia is vital for chemical industries and renewable clean energy. Denying the harsh reaction conditions adopted in the Haber-Bosch process and stimulation research for ammonia production through sustainable technologies is a smart approach. Hitherto, photocatalyst acquiring the potential to attain high nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) efficiency is a challenging task.

Metal organic framework-based Janus nanomaterials: rational design, strategic fabrication and emerging applications.

Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) with dual segments comprising chemically distinct compositions have garnered the attention of researchers in the past few years. The combination of different materials with diversified morphology, topology, and distinct physico-chemical characteristics into the single Janus nanocrystal has yielded multifarious capabilities for a myriad of emerging applications involving catalysis, gas separation, electro-catalysis, adsorption and energy storage. However, the traditional Janus entities significantly lack the need for populous active sites and high surface area.

Hydrolytically stable citrate capped FeO@UiO-66-NH MOF: A hetero-structure composite with enhanced activity towards Cr (VI) adsorption and photocatalytic H evolution.

Design and facile fabrication of a magnetically separable hetero-structure photocatalyst as well as an adsorbent having dual green benefits towards energy conversion and pollutant remediation are quite indispensable in the current scenario. In this regard, a composite of citrate capped FeO and UiO-66-NH has been designed to remediate Cr (VI) by adsorption and harvest photons from visible light for clean energy (H) conversion. The material was prepared by the union of citrate capped FeO (CCM) and versatile aqueous stable Zr-based MOF (UiO-66-NH) through in-situ solvothermal method.

Efficient Photon Conversion via Double Charge Dynamics CeO-BiFeO p-n Heterojunction Photocatalyst Promising toward N Fixation and Phenol-Cr(VI) Detoxification.

For better exciton separation and high catalytic activity, the most trailblazing stratagem is to construct defect engineered low-dimensional p-n heterojunction framed photocatalytic systems. In this context, we have developed a rod-sheet (1D-2D) p-n heterojunction of MCeO-BiFeO by a simple hydrothermal method and scrutinized its photocatalytic performance toward N fixation and phenol/Cr(VI) detoxification. The intimate contact between MCeO and BiFeO in the junction material is well established via X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrosopy (DRS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and photoelectrochemical studies.
