Novel biocompatible zinc oxide nanoparticle synthesis using Quassia indica leaf extract and evaluation of its photocatalytic, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic potentials
Prognostic research points to the necessity and relevance of revamping polluted environments. The toxic effect of textile dyes released into waterbodies can be reduced by the degradation process and alternate methods in nanotechnology are used to lessen the gravity of the situation. Compared with chemical and physical NP synthesis, plant extract-based nanoparticle synthesis is an environmentally friendly alternative method, and the use of waste leaves in this process is an added advantage. Quassia indica zinc oxide nanoparticles (QI-ZnO NPs) were synthesised in the current work employing a simple and cost-effective process using Q. indica leaf extract. The surface plasmon peak was visible in the UV-Vis absorption spectrum of the decreased reaction mixture at 346 nm. The average crystallite size of the QI-ZnO NPs was found to be 16.66 nm. The QI-ZnO NPs were found to have a stable zeta potential of ?28.4 mV. The surface morphology of the optimised QI-ZnO NPs was observed to be hexagonal using field emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Under UV light irradiation, the photocatalytic degradation of industrial textile dyes Reactive Blue-220, Reactive Yellow-145, Reactive Red-120, and Reactive Blue-222 showed degradation efficiency of 8090%. Antibacterial and antifungal activity was assessed using well diffusion on gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. When administered to the A549 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines, QI-ZnO NPs displayed significant anticancer activities. Limited studies in the area of plant extract-based nanoparticle synthesis mark the novelty of this attempt and this trailblazing and pioneering approach using non-toxic QI-ZnO NPs synthesised through green synthesis is futuristic and sustainable helping in effective wastewater treatment.

Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) are fascinating zero-dimensional carbon materials owning distinct multi-shell architecture. Their physicochemical properties are highly related to the parent material selected and the synthesis protocol involved. In the present work, we report for the first time novel CNO structures encompassing discrete carbon allotropes, namely, H18 carbon, Rh6 carbon, and n-diamond. These structures were cost-effectively synthesized in gram scale by facile flame pyrolysis of paraffinum liquidum, a highly refined mineral oil. The as-synthesized and chemically refashioned CNOs are quasi-spherical self-assembled mesopores, manifesting remarkable stability and hydrophilicity. The CNO structures exhibit excellent dye adsorption characteristics with high removal capacity of 1397.35mg/g and rapid adsorption kinetics with a minimal adsorbent dosage of 10mg/L, for a low concentration of 20mg/L methylene blue dye. The novel CNOs assure potential implementation in the remediation of low concentration and high volume of dye-contaminated wastewater.

Introduction: ovarian cancer ranked as the seventh most common cancer and the eighth leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women globally. Early detection was crucial for improving survival rates, emphasizing the need for better screening techniques and increased awareness. Microarray gene data, containing numerous genes across multiple samples, presented both opportunities and challenges in understanding gene functions and disease pathways. This research focused on reducing feature selection time in large gene expression datasets by applying a hybrid bio-inspired method, HGDBO. The goal was to enhance classification accuracy by optimizing gene subsets for improved gene expression analysis. Method: the study introduced a novel hybrid feature selection method called HGDBO, which combined the Dung Beetle Optimization (DBO) algorithm with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to improve microarray data analysis. The HGDBO method leveraged the exploratory strengths of DBO and the exploitative capabilities of GA to identify relevant genes for disease classification. Experiments conducted on multiple microarray datasets showed that the hybrid approach offered superior classification performance, stability, and computational efficiency compared to traditional methods. Ovarian cancer classification was performed using Nae Bayes (NB) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms. Results and Discussion: the Random Forest model outperformed the Nae Bayes model across all metrics, achieving higher accuracy (0,96 vs. 0,91), precision (0,95 vs. 0,91), recall (0,97 vs. 0,90), F1 score (0,95 vs. 0,91), and specificity (0,97 vs. 0,86). Conclusions: these results demonstrated the effectiveness of the HGDBO method and the Random Forest classifier in improving the analysis and classification of ovarian cancer using microarray gene data. 2024; Los autores. -
Novel Hybrid Machine-Learning Algorithms for Resource Optimization in Cloud
The resource optimization process in the cloud is crucial and can be achieved through the ideal Load Balancing (LB) mechanism. The cloud undergoes several challenges with resource optimization due to poor LB mechanism, where its Virtual Machines (VMs) are either overloaded or idle. The main aim of this experimental-based research is to enhance the LB mechanism of the cloud by implementing and comparing the performance of novel hybrid LB algorithms RLFCFS and RLSJF to optimize the resources. The RLFCFS and RLSJF novel LB algorithms are designed by combining the Reinforcement Learning (RL) technique with the heuristic FCFS and SJF algorithms. The proposed algorithms improve resource optimization in terms of cost and time by facilitating enhanced LB mechanism through RL intelligence mechanism. The performance of RLFCFS and RLSJF LB algorithms is compared with respect to the average (avg.) load managed by the VMs and the avg. percentage (perc.) of deviation observed against the expected load in each experimental stage. The experimental throughput conveys that the RLFCFS LB algorithm managed an aggregate avg. load of 968.77 tasks against the RLSJF LB algorithm, which managed 999.08 tasks aggregately across all experimental stages. Concerning the avg. perc. of deviation, the RLFCFS LB algorithm deviated by 63.44% against the ideal expected load to manage against the RLSJF LB algorithm, which deviated by 64.60%. This shows that the RLFCFS LB algorithm gave better resource optimization results than the RLSJF LB algorithm. Lastly, these results are mathematically validated using the Simple Linear Regression model. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025. -

Beginning with preprocessing stages that use data augmentation to improve the dataset, the technique incorporates a methodical flowchart. Following the creation and individual training of an ensemble model that incorporates CNN architectures like as DenseNet, AlexNet, and i-Alex, the final model attains an impressive level of accuracy. Optimized feature vectors are the end result of a process that begins with feature fusion and continues with dimensionality reduction methods like principal component analysis (PCA). Utilizing LASSO and ReliefF for feature selection helps to refine the collection of features, which in turn improves accuracy metrics. Utilizing cross-validated hyperparameter optimization, classifier training showcases the effectiveness of SVM, Random Forest, and XGBoost. The ensemble method is clearly better according to the performance assessment, which takes into account sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, and AUC.

Novel Pooling-Based VGG-Lite for Pneumonia and Covid-19 Detection From Imbalanced Chest X-Ray Datasets
This paper proposes a novel pooling-based VGG-Lite model in order to mitigate class imbalance issues in Chest X-Ray (CXR) datasets. Automatic Pneumonia detection from CXR images by deep learning model has emerged as a prominent and dynamic area of research, since the inception of the new Covid-19 variant in 2020. However, the standard Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models encounter challenges associated with class imbalance, a prevalent issue found in many medical datasets. The innovations introduced in the proposed model architecture include: (I) A very lightweight CNN model, VGG-Lite, is proposed as a base model, inspired by VGG-16 and MobileNet-V2 architecture. (II) On top of this base model, we leverage an Edge Enhanced Module (EEM) through a parallel branch, consisting of a negative image layer, and a novel custom pooling layer 2Max-Min Pooling. This 2Max-Min Pooling layer is entirely novel in this investigation, providing more attention to edge components within pneumonia CXR images. Thus, it works as an efficient spatial attention module (SAM). We have implemented the proposed framework on two separate CXR datasets. The first dataset is obtained from a readily available source on the internet, and the second dataset is a more challenging CXR dataset, assembled by our research team from three different sources. Experimental results reveal that our proposed framework has outperformed pre-trained CNN models, and three recent trend existing models Vision Transformer, Pooling-based Vision Transformer (PiT) and PneuNet, by substantial margins on both datasets. The proposed framework VGG-Lite with EEM, has achieved a macro average of 95% accuracy, 97.1% precision, 96.1% recall, and 96.6% F1 score on the Pneumonia Imbalance CXR dataset, without employing any pre-processing technique. 2017 IEEE. -
