Automatic Field Monitoring and Detection of Plant Diseases Using IoT

This research presents a GSM-based system for automatic plant disease diagnosis and describes its use in the creation of ACPS. Traditional farming methods were largely ineffective against microbial diseases. In addition, farmers can't keep up with the ever-changing nature of infections, so a reliable disease forecasting system is essential. To circumvent this, we employ a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that has been trained to examine the crop image recorded by a health maintenance system. The solar sensor node is in charge of taking pictures, sensing continuously, and automating smartly. An agricultural robot is sometimes known as an agribot or agbot. An autonomous robot with agricultural applications. It helps the farmer improve crop productivity while decreasing the need for manual labour. In the future, these agricultural robots could replace human labour in a variety of farming tasks, including tilling, planting, and harvesting. These agricultural robots will manage pests and diseases as well as perform tasks like weeding. In order to keep an eye on the crops and streamline the irrigation process, this system is equipped with disease prediction technology for plants and intelligent irrigation controls. The energy required to provide disease prediction and irrigation systems separately is reduced by combining them in this project

A Review of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Studies in Marijuana using Adolescents and Adults

Marijuana (MJ) remains the most widely used illicit drug of abuse, and accordingly, is associated with adverse effects on mental and physical health, and neurocognitive decline. Studies investigating the neurobiology of underlying MJ effects have demonstrated structural and functional alterations in brain areas that contain moderate to high concentrations of cannabinoid (CB1) receptors and that are implicated in MJ-related cognitive decrements. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS), a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess neurochemistry, has been widely applied to probe a variety of substance-abusing populations. To date, however, there is a relative paucity of MRS published studies characterizing changes in neurometabolite concentrations in MJ users. Thus, the current review provides a summary of data from the eight existing MRS studies of MJ use in adolescents and adults, as well as interpretations and implications of study findings. Future MRS studies that address additional factors such as sex differences, onset and duration of use, abstinence and age, are warranted, and would lead to a more thorough characterization of potential neurochemical correlates of chronic MJ use, which would fill critical gaps in the existing literature

Convective Heat Transfer Analysis on Prandtl Fluid Model with Peristalsis

The effects of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) on peristaltic transport of Prandtl fluid in a symmetric channel have been studied under the assumptions of long wave length and low-Reynolds number. Channel walls are considered compliant in nature. Series solutions of axial velocity, stream function and temperature are given by using regular perturbation technique for small values of Prandtl fluid parameter. The effects of physical parameters on the velocity, streamlines and temperature are examined by plotting graphs

Advocacy to reduce the risk of myopia

Encouraging and supporting the changes needed to prevent or delay the onset of myopia is complex. Co-ordinated advocacy is key

Detection of Cronobacter sakazakii (Enterobacter sakazakii) in powdered food infants (PIF) and raw milk in Iraq

This study was conducted to detect C.sakazakii PIF and raw milk. Two hundred samples of PIF were taken from the infected hospital infants who used this type of milk and from the local markets in addition to 16 sample of raw milk were collected. The study is the first to report the isolation of C. sakazakii and Enterobacter spp. from raw milk in Iraq. The distribution of C.sakazakii and Enterobacter spp. among the presumptive isolates using Vitek-GN2 system gave 1/16(6.25%) isolates of C.sakazakii and 4/16 (25%) isolates of Enterobacter spp. Enterobacter spp. isolates include (E.cloacae ssp. cloacae and E.cloacae ssp. dissolvens, E.hormaechei, and E.ludwigii) that isolate from raw milk Differences in between percentages of each isolate persence were non-significant (

Myopia: A growing epidemic

Myopia is a serious and growing problem that will affect low- or middleincome countries as they become more urbanised - especially when educational demands increase

Pengaruh Perbedaan Waktu Aplikasi Dan Konsentrasi Giberelin (Ga3) Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Cabai Besar (Capsicum Annuum L.)

Upaya peningkatan produksi cabai besar dapat dilakukan salah satunya dengan pemberian zat pengatur tumbuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon tanaman cabai besar terhadap perbedaan waktu aplikasi dan konsentrasi giberelin (GA3) serta untuk memperoleh waktu aplikasi dan konsentrasi giberelin (GA3) yang tepat bagi pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman cabai besar terutama dalam pengurangan jumlah biji.Penelitian dilaksa-nakan di Kebun Percobaan Jatikerto FP-UB, Desa Jatikerto, Kecamatan Kro-mengan, Kabupaten Malang pada bulan Mei – September 2013. Percobaan disusun menggunakan Rancangan Petak Terbagi (RPT) dengan 3 ulangan. Petak utama, waktu aplikasi GA3 terdiri dari 3 taraf, yaitu W1 : Aplikasi GA3 saat berbunga, W2 : Aplikasi GA3saat berbuah dan W3 : Aplikasi saat berbunga dan berbuah. Anak petak, konsentrasi GA3 terdiri dari 5 taraf, yaitu K0 : 0 ppm, K1 : 25 ppm, K2 : 50 ppm, K3 : 75 ppm, dan K4 : 100 ppm.Aplikasi GA3 pada saat berbunga maupun saat berbuah tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang nyata seiring dengan penambahan konsentrasi GA3 yang diberikan.Aplikasi GA3 pada saat berbunga dan berbuah dengan konsentrasi 100 ppm menunjukkan persentase fruit set lebih tinggi dibanding-kan perlakuan kontrol. Waktu aplikasi GA3 pada saat awal berbuah dapat meningkatkan jumlah bunga dan panjang buah. Konsentrasi GA3 50 ppm maupun 100 ppm meningkatkan tinggi tanaman cabai. Aplikasi GA3 menurunkan bobot per buah, panjang buah, dan jumlah biji per buah

Comparative analysis of regulatory elements in different germin-like protein gene promoters

Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) the members of cupin superfamily of proteins, which are functionally most diverse proteins. Germin and GLPs have some unique features as they are highly resistant to proteases and to degradation by heat, high pH and detergents like Sodium dodecylSulphate (SDS). They are water soluble extracellular enzymatic protein that may also have Oxalate Oxidase (OxO), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) or ADP-glucose pyrophosphate or phosphodiestrase (AGPPase) activities. At the moment seven GLP gene promoter from different organisms have been studied and published. These all promoter sequences have been analyzed in this study. It was observed that these promoters have important regulatory elements, which are involved in various important functions. These elements have been compared on the basis of location, copy number, and distributed on positive and negative strands. It was also observed that some of these elements are common and remained conserved among all GLP promoters during evolution. Such regulatory elements are commonly observed in seed storage proteins, dehydration in response to light, senescence observed on exposure to dark and in elements specific for expression in pollen. Moreover, these commonelements are reported to be expressed under environmental stresses (salt and pathogen attack) and to growth regulators
