A few decades ago, quality assessment was a significant challenge in agriculture, even with tiny amounts of agricultural products. They are subject to diseases, pesticides, and environmental variables that have led to challenges to quality and safety. The quality evaluation of these items serves a crucial function in quality control and increases productivity before consumption. This paper proposes a deep neural network for solving Indian tomato diversity problems based on the assessment of their features. This study was carried out using four different categories of south Indian cherry tomatoes, i.e., spot, BER, calyx, and n

Show MoreWith the enormous growth and advancement of the computer industry, it is critically necessary to transmit a large amount of encrypted multimedia data to prevent third parties from attacking one's privacy or misbehaving. This study proposes a new encryption strategy for preserving original images. It is highly effective and has been shown to be resilient against impulsive noise and loss of data. At first, some random data is entered within the perimeter of the image. Then, three rounds of high-speed scrambling and adaptive diffusion for pixels are carried out to mix the contiguous pixels at random and distribute the newly placed data throughout the image. The suggested encryption method can be used to encrypt original images in any form o

Researchers can now analyze our phone usage using data mining techniques to determine how much we rely on them. They can monitor everything from screen time and social media activity to email habits and app addiction. This information assists us in understanding the impact of technology on our daily lives and may even lead to new interventions or treatment options for those who suffer from nomophobia. Nomophobia, like addiction, progresses through multiple aspects such as initiation, affirmation, need, and dependency.

Using binomial series expansion and exponential expansion, the new distribution is expanded by four parameters. We derive moments, moment generating function, quantile function, order statistics and the Rényi entropy. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate the parameters of the proposed TEE-BX model [0,1]. Finally, using two real-world data sets, the performance of the [0,1] TEE-BX distribution is explored. Based on the certain goodness of fit criteria, we conclude that the [0,1] TEE-BX distribution has a better fit than the other distributions.
Drought is one of the challenges Iraq faced during this period, and the negative environmental effects that are apparent due to climate change have become essential topics that attracted the attention of urban planners. As the lack of rain and high temperatures are among the reasons for the drought increase, especially in desert areas, the Babil governorate was chosen as one of the governorates that suffered from agricultural drought. Agricultural drought indices were analyzed and monitored by downloading satellite images from the United States website for the period 1995-2021, where the area of the Babylon governorate was 5119 . It was used to calculate agricultural drought for 1999-2015-2021; climatic elements data (temperature a

In the current study, the effect of concentration on the viscosity of formic acid, acetic acid, and propanoic acid in an aqueous solution is investigated. The apparent molar volume (ϕv) was specified from density measurements at 298.15 K. A restrictive apparent molar volume ϕv˚ under unlimited dilutions of these carboxylic acids has been determined based on Masson's equation. The B and A coefficients for viscosity have been determined using viscosity data for the Jones-Dole equation for all studies, and a positive value of the B-coefficient indicates strong solute-solvent interaction. The modified Jone-Dole equation was projected using a ratio of mole fractions of solute and solvent.
This study looked at the amount of tropane alkaloids in both the leaves of the mother plant and the callus cultures of Hyoscyamus niger L. It also looked at how biotic elicitation affects the growth of callus cultures and increases the production of alkaloids. The investigation identified and quantified three primary tropane alkaloids (Hyoscyamine, Scopolamine, and Atropine) from both sources. Remarkably, the callus cultures exhibited obviously higher levels of alkaloids in comparison to the leaves of the mother plant, implying their potential as a valuable reservoir for alkaloid production. Concerning the effects of biotic elicitation, the study showed that the application of chitosan (CHT), yeast extract (YE), and fungal extra

Scientists have used various nature-inspired algorithms to find protein complexes in protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. These networks help scientists guess the molecular function of unknown proteins and show how cells work regularly. It is very common in PPI networks for a protein to participate in multiple functions and belong to many complexes, and as a result, complexes may overlap in the PPI networks. However, developing an efficient and reliable method to address the problem of detecting overlapping protein complexes remains a challenge since it is considered a complex and hard opt
