Genome analysis for precision agriculture using artificial intelligence: a survey
Precision agriculture is a farm management technique which uses the help with the help of information technology to ensure that the crops and soil receive exactly what is required for optimum health and productivity. Genome analysis in plants helps to identify the plant structure and physiological traits. The identification of the right plant genome and the resulting traits help to optimize the cultivation of the plant for better productivity and adaptability. Genome analysis helps the biologist edit the plant genetic makeup structure to make the plant to adapt to the current conditions and thereby reducing the use of fertilizers. For precision agriculture, artificial intelligence techniques help to understand the relationships between plant genome and soil nutrient conditions that help in precision farming effectively reducing the usage of fertilizers by modifying the plants to adapt with the current soil characteristics.

Applications of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models in Brain Imaging Analysis
Brain imaging is an umbrella term including many non-invasive techniques that objectively monitor brain function. Such monitoring leads to understanding how the brain works by presenting selected stimuli. More importantly, brain function monitoring allows physicians to diagnose and predict brain disorders. In the last decade, several machine learning and deep learning models have been developed by researchers to process and analyse brain imaging data for the diagnosis, detection, and prediction of brain disorders, such as stroke, schizophrenia, autism, psychosis, and Alzheimers. This chapter reviews the various applications and properties of machine learning and deep learning models for brain image analysis. The chapter also highlights the deep learning models that have either understood the test of time or shown the promise to solve challenging problems involving brain imaging data. The review also discusses various open issues yet to have practical solutions or methodologies with the help of machine learning and deep learning. The research covers a wide range of imaging modalities, disorders and models to expose researchers and practitioners in neurological disorders and machine learning and deep learning to each others field, hopefully leading to fruitful collaborations and practical solutions for processing brain images. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Anitha S.

Efficient hydrogen evolution reaction performance of Ni substituted WS2 nanoflakes
We have investigated the structural, optical and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of pristine, Co and Ni substituted WS2 nanoflakes synthesised by facile hydrothermal method. The XRD pattern confirms the formation of hexagonal WS2 for both pristine and substituted WS2 nanoflakes. The FESEM images validate the flake-like structure for both pristine and substituted WS2. In addition, we have also analysed the Raman and UV-Vis absorbance spectra of the samples. The electrocatalytic studies reveal that the nickel-substituted WS2 (Ni-WS2) nanoflakes show superior hydrogen evolution (HER) performance compared to cobalt-substituted WS2 (Co-WS2) nanoflakes. Hence, we have varied the Ni concentration and investigated the dependence of Ni content on the electrocatalytic performance. It is found that the electrocatalytic performance of the Ni-WS2 nanoflakes increases with an increase in Ni content owing to the modified edge structures. Thus, our studies suggest Ni substitution in WS2 nanostructures can boost electrocatalytic HER performance.

A Study on Near Proper Coloring of Graphs
An equitable coloring of a graph G is a proper vertex coloring in which the number of vertices in any two color classes are equal or almost equal. In this graph coloring, there is a partition of tasks into subsets which perform at the same time. Equitable coloring play an important role when there is a requirement of dividing a system with binary conand#64258;ict free subsystems with equal or newlinenearly equal elements. The non-availability of sufcient number of colors leads to diand#64256;erent defective coloring problems. An equitable near proper coloring of a graph G is an improper coloring in which the vertex set can be partitioned into k color classes V1, V2, . . . , Vk ; (1 lt k lt and#967;e(G)) such that the number of vertices in any two color classes diand#64256;er by at most one and the resulting monochromatic edges are minimised by restricting the number of color classes that can have adjacency among their own elements. The minimum number of monochromatic newlineedges obtained from an equitable near proper coloring of G is called equitable defective number. This study introduces the notion of equitable near proper coloring of a graph G and investigates the equitable defective number for a few graph classes. In this study, the equitable near proper coloring of various graph classes and derived graphs are discussed, and the corresponding equitable newlinedefective number for any k where 2 and#8804; k and#8804; and#967;e(G) and#8722; 1 is obtained. -

Studies on the Fresh Water Algal Floria in Chimmony Wildlife Sanctuary
Algae is a crucial organism in the environment. They help in maintaining the balance among different ecosystems. According to the geography and climatic conditions, newlineKerala has a suitable environment for algal growth. However, the algal biodiversity newlinestudies conducted in Kerala are significantly less. The wildlife sanctuary comprises a newlineconsiderable scope for algal biodiversity. The Chimmony wildlife sanctuary is situated in Mukundapuram taluk of Thrissur district. It spreads over 85.067 km2 with a water spread area of 10.1 km2. Ten different sampling stations were selected across newlinethe wildlife sanctuary, and extensive field visits were conducted to identify and newlinedocument the algae with respect to three seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post- newlinemonsoon). The physicochemical parameters of water like dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, light intensity, and rainfall amount were estimated seasonally. In this present study, a total of 121 taxa belonging to 60 genera, 38 families, 24 orders, and 5 classes, namely Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenineae, Rhodophyceae, and Cyanophyceae, were identified from 10 different stations. The Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophyceae were the most dominant class in the study area. The algal multiplication will be more in the pre monsoon season and it was observed that the Chlorophyceaen members were dominant, while the Bacillariophyceae were dominant during the post-monsoon season. Cyanophyceae was dominant only during the monsoon season because of its sensitivity toward light. The ANOVA (Two-way) analysis showed no significant difference between stations, and there is a considerable difference between seasons for dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, temperature, and total dissolved solids. While pH, showed no significant difference between seasons and stations, light intensity showed a substantial difference between stations and seasons. The temperature and dissolved oxygen showed a negative correlation. -

Organic and Inorganic compunds anchored graphene frameworks as materials for sensor and supercapacitor applications
The specific atoms or group of atoms that can attach to the other organic or inorganic newlinecompounds due to the strong affinity is called as the anchoring group. The electrons newlinefrom these organic and inorganic compounds are potent to travel through the anchor newlinegroup. This leads to specific features with the change in the arrangement of atoms in newlinethe entire molecule/system. Hence, the redox reaction properties, molecular chain newlinelength and the extent of conjugation of the resultant anchored product vary. Depending upon the binding nature, anchoring groups can be divided into monodentate, bidentate, and multidentate. Among these, multidentate anchoring groups are more significant since it can bind either partially to the molecules or with the whole surface. Though many multidentate anchoring groups like fullerene, carbon nanotubes, polymers, calixarenes, and graphene are presented in the literature, newlinegraphene oxide anchored organic and inorganic compounds are important because of its amazing contributions to the material science and design. The high thermal and electrical conductivity, large surface area, mechanical strength, and availability of more mobile electrons make graphene as the suitable anchor group for diverse applications in the field of adsorption of polluted gases, catalyst for the organic conversions, medicinal chemistry, electrochemical sensing, and energy storage devices. Therefore, Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the good choices to develop supercapacitance systems and electrochemical sensing materials. Heteroatom doping, conducting polymer, metal complexes, and metal oxides anchored graphene oxide are more significant because they change the electroactive properties significantly. Considering these, we studied the photophysical and electrochemical properties of chromium complex anchored GO synthesised by silane and diazonium coupling. -
