The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) on seedless okra production, vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, antioxidants (DPPH), phenolic, and mineral content. The micro-syringe injection in flower stigma was an innovative method of application and was used in this experiment rather than spray as a common and traditional method. The flower stigma injection method was applied on the flower stigma after the anthesis of the flower of the okra plant using NAA at different concentrations. The lowest concentration (25 mg/l) of NAA greatly increased the pod setting compared to the higher concentrations and control. NAA application at 25 and 50 mg/l concentrations induced higher values of pod length, diameter, size, weight, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and soluble solid content over the control. The chlorophyll content in leaves was affected significantly by different concentrations of NAA. It was found that 25 and 50 mg/l concentrations of NAA significantly increased chlorophyll content, fiber, moisture, flavonoid, carotenoid, antioxidant (DPPH), minerals and phenolic content compared to the other concentrations and control. In addition to that control and 25 mg/l concentrations of NAA, had increased the production of healthy seeds compared to the 50 and 100 mg/l. Moreover, 50 and 100mg/l of concentrations showed higher aborted seed (seedless) than the other concentration and control. Therefore, it seems that 25 mg/l is the best concentration for pod growth and development as well as 100mg/l is the best for seedless okra production.

Deficiency of zinc and other micronutrients is very complicated issue for developing countries, trickle down the situation by fortification of seeds. Bio-fortification technique should consider important and recent technique to promote the potentiality in grain. Modern plant breeding has been work on to achieving high yields of crops rather than nutritional quality, and other efforts related to alleviating the problem have been primarily through industrial fortification of crops by manufacturing artificially. Many countries work to produce fortified grains and improved Zn and Fe micronutrients quantity through biotechnological techniques. Main aim of work is screening of elite Triticum aestivum L. varieties to alleviate hunger .Ten different wheat varieties selected from agriculture research institute of Tando jam and Research Institute of Sakarand (Imdad, SKD-1, SKD-2, Sindhu, TD-1, TJ-83, Mehran, Anmol, Benazir and Zincol) for this experiment designed to evaluate the process of bio-fortification through selection and hybridization process. Highly significant (p≤0.01) difference were observed for all the characters i.e. crop stand, germination, plant height, days to heading, days of an thesis, days of maturity, tillers/centimeter, spike/ length, grain per spike, seed index and yield/hec. Micronutrient malnutrition global nutritional problem, several limitations regarding nutritional unbalance and food improvement favored for fortification of wheat as an everlasting solution of the malnutrition. At harvest plus programmed improve wheat varieties incredibly accommodating for nutritional quality of grains. According to other provinces of Pakistan, Sindh focus on this innovatory programmed to improve about 35-40gm/m zinc content in the nutritional and cereal crops.

Pests are one of the severe threats targeting the crops at an alarming rate which makes pest and disease detection a laborious and expensive task creating serious production and economic losses. The image dataset is collected for the different pest species for tomato plant and corn crop, with minimum imbalance ratio. To find a solution to the problem of pest identification, deep learning techniques can be administered. So, the modified VGG16 model is applied to comprehensively extract multifaceted features in complex farmland backgrounds. Accumulated Growing Degree Day (GDD) will help in providing the short term processing of time of attack of pests in a particular region. The growing degree day (GDD) can be visualized on the Geographic Information System (GIS) Application for getting better insights. The results achieved from the modified VGG16 model are comparable to state of the art techniques, with an accuracy of 92.40%. The proposed system which combines the classification model and the pest vulnerability model will be helpful for the farmers in taking suitable, effective and timely decisions related to control and management of pests.

Nowadays, patient-related records are kept in cumbersome file cabinets that result in wasted effort, during burdensome searches. As a result, when a patient goes to a different hospital, all those records need to be copied or all those tests have to be repeated for the same patient. In the present research, a secure, paperless operating room architecture (PORA) has been implemented which provides easily accessible patient information that can be safely shared between different hospitals. PORA is composed of three modules. The modules are the patient data input module, operating room server module, and treated patient information output module. In all, the modules allow researchers to edit, review and analyze patient-related data easily; as well as giving patients access to their healthcare information. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology supported with symmetric encryption is employed in PORA to provide the information security of transmitted data. NFC is utilized during the collection of medical records through wireless communication. This solution achieves better communication and accuracy among OR staff members. The PORA has been effectively used to help healthcare personnel and patients receiving treatment across different hospital operating rooms. PORA might be a unique solution for seamless patient information sharing between independent operating rooms.

Electrical performance of wire bond interconnection in electronic packages relates closely to the functionality of the microchip during performance in any application. During high temperature storage (HTS), Cu-Al intermetallic compound (IMC) forms due to interfacial diffusion between Cu wire and Al metallization. Heat treatment enhances the growth of the Cu-Al IMC leading to an increase in the thickness of the IMC layer. In this paper, we report the electrical studies and the interfacial microstructure of the thermosonically bonded Cu wire to Al metallization bond pad bonded at 280 °C and annealed for 1000 hours. Samples were studied for their morphology via transmission electron microscopy - energy dispersive X-ray analysis (TEM-EDX) while electrical resistivity of the packages was studied via the current-voltage curve measurements. The experiment results are summarized as: (i) an increase of HTS duration increases the thickness of Cu-Al IMC interface layer; and (ii) an increase of the Cu-Al IMC layer thickness increases the electrical resistivity of the electronic package. These studies provide insights into how these parameters can contribute to the development of materials and devices for improved reliability.

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is among the most important oilseed crops in the world. ‎However, knowledge related to its genetic constitution in Tunisian sunflower is still scarce. ‎This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity of 26 local and 7 introduced ‎sunflower accessions using 23 agro-morphological traits and 15 simple sequence repeats (SSR) ‎markers. The analysis of variance of the agro-morphological traits showed a significant ‎variability among sunflower accessions. The relationship among the sunflower accessions was ‎also performed by using the principal component analysis; the two first axes explained 54.4% ‎of the total variation and showed that the accessions spread into five groups. The groups (G3 ‎and G4) could be used to improve sunflower varieties with high performance especially for ‎the diameter of the head and the weight of 1000 seeds characters. Ten among the 15 SSR ‎primers used revealed clear polymorphic bands and were able to amplify 29 alleles with an ‎average of 2.9 alleles per locus. The percentage of total polymorphism, the polymorphism ‎information content (PIC) and the dissimilarity coefficient values varied from 50 to 100% ‎with an average value of 91%, from 0.38 to 0.75 with an average of 0.50, and from 0.00 to ‎‎0.81 with an average of 0.41, respectively. Cluster analysis of the SSR markers grouped ‎accessions into 3 distinct groups. A significant correlation was observed among SSR markers ‎and morphological traits. These results may be used as a basis for the development of ‎sunflower breeding programs in Tunisia.‎

Amaranth can be used as a functional ingredient for development of composite yogurts, with high nutritional value. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on proximate composition, stability during storage, texture and sensory evaluation of yogurts supplemented with non-roasted and roasted amaranth flour at 5 g 100 ml. Yogurt without supplementation was used as control. Products were assessed for moisture, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, ashes and minerals. The pH, acidity and syneresis of yogurts were measured after 1, 7, 15 days of storage and a rheological properties was carried out. Applying hedonic scale, 10 faculty members analyzed the overall acceptability, color, texture, flavor and aroma of yogurts. Supplemented products showed significant higher protein, carbohydrate and fat contents. The study showed that yogurt from goat\'s milk can be used, although adding more than 5 g 100 ml non-roasted amaranth flour had undesirable effect on gel stability (syneresis and increases in total acidity), but adding roasted amaranth flour it increased sensory properties: improved aroma and gave a nutty taste to the finished product.\nThe overall acceptability decreases when adding the non-roasted amaranth flour in a product. The main weakness of this study was the paucity of size of our panel (10 people). With a small sample size, caution must be applied, as the findings might not be transferable to show objective data. In spite of its limitations, the study certainly adds to our understanding of the production of yoghurts with roasted amaranth flour is preferable. Further research is needed to investigate the effects of amaranth flour and apply it to various foods as a supplement to enhance overall quality parameters of fermented foods.
