Metabolomic and chemometrics depict to understand the nutraceutical potential of different flaxseed varieties

Flaxseeds phytochemical and nutraceutical composition is influenced by climatic conditions that possibly impact flaxseed fingerprinting authentication. Therefore, this research aimed to discriminate flaxseeds phytochemical and nutraceutical value among eight different varieties (originating from China and Pakistan). Metabolomic fingerprint and chemometrics revealed discrimination among these varieties due to variations in fatty acids, amino acids, cyclic peptides, tocopherols, carotenoids, phenolics, and volatile compounds composition in flaxseeds. A discrimination model with p-value < 0.05 and VIP score >1 was propounded those different biomarkers such as γ-tocopherol, leutein, C18:3, Thr, Glu, 1-hexanol, 2-decenal, 1-octen-3-ol, and cyclic peptides content contribute to the discrimination of different flaxseeds varieties. Compared to RO and CH flaxseed varieties, HU, MO1, and MO2 primarily have higher total fatty acids, amino acids, tocopherols, carotenoids, and cyclic peptides. The present study significantly contributes to the quality fingerprinting of flaxseeds for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Role of doped ZnO variants for the development of latent fingerprint

Here we are presenting a promising approach for the green synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials by using lemon grass with minimal environmental impact. The fabricated zinc oxide (ZnO) doped with different dyes ranging from 25 −100 nm were applied to read the minutiae points of finger prints that can lead for person identification. In this model project, we doped different dyes on ZnO and used for the development of latent finger prints on different surfaces and at time duration (1 h to 24 h). The linkage between nanomaterials and fingerprint residues is among oxide group and amine group. We presented that these designed materials have the ability to develop fingerprints on variety of substrates. We displayed that with the passing of time the chroma index and intensity reduce but still at 24 h we can read the minutiae details. This research opens a new era to enhance and quantifying contrast between surface and applied material.

Dermatoglyphic Phenotype in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

Introduction. Since the predisposition to develop cardiovascular disease is genetically determined, it can be assumed that there are phenotypic features (in particular, dermatoglyphic) that allow predicting the predisposition to develop acute myocardial infarction (MI).&#x0D; The aim of the study was to determine the dermatoglyphic phenotype in patients with myocardial infarction.&#x0D; Materials and methods. The object of the study was dermatoglyphs of distal phalanges of the fingers obtained from 60 male subjects (30 patients with myocardial infarction and 30 healthy men without cardiovascular pathology as a control group). The dermatoglyphic method and the method of statistical analysis were used.&#x0D; Results. It was found that patients with MI had a higher frequency of curl patterns, but a lower frequency of ulnar and radial loops and arc patterns compared to the control group. The value of the comb count in patients with MI was lower than in the control group (p&gt;0.05). The total comb count of the palmar fields a-b, c-d was higher, and the fields b-c were lower in patients with MI than in the control group. The mean value of the angle Аtd on both hands was higher in patients with MI than in the control group. Palm patterns and folds showed no significant differences between the groups.&#x0D; Conclusions&#x0D; The results of this study can be used to standardize the dermatoglyphic pattern of the Ukrainian population and identify individuals prone to MI.

Synthesis, crystal structure investigation and computational studies binding of (7S,8R)-7-acetyl-8-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(ethylthio)-1,6-dimethyl-7,8-dihydroisoquinoline-4-carbonitrile with monoamine oxidase B

This work reports the preparation of a new dihydroisoquinoline derivative whose structure was characterized by IR, NMR (1H, 13C), MS and verified through single-crystal X-ray analysis. The mean planes of the acetyl and 4-chlorophenyl groups in the title molecule are nearly perpendicular to that of the pyridine ring. In the crystal, π-stacking and C—H···O hydrogen bond interactions involving the pyridine ring and the nitrile group of an adjacent molecule form the full 3-D structure. Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis shows the topology of the molecules in the crystal packing. Fingerprint (FP) diagrams show the percentage contribution of several intermolecular interactions where H‧‧‧H interactions have a significant contribution (46%). The DFT study reveals a low HOMO-LUMO gap and significant charge transfer is indicated by the natural bonding orbitals (NBO) and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analyses. Non-covalent interactions and bond characteristics were investigated using the quantum theory of atom in the molecule (QTAIM) and ELF analysis. FMO analysis was used to calculate the HOMO-LUMO energy gap and orbital energies. Using the DFT method, parameters such as global reactivity were calculated. Using the implicit solvent model, properties such as optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) were characterized in the solvent (water) phase and gas phase. The affinity of the title molecule for Monoamine Oxidase B was examined using molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies and these results showed good binding of the target molecule.

EarSlide

Ear wearables (earables) are emerging platforms that are broadly adopted in various applications. There is an increasing demand for robust earables authentication because of the growing amount of sensitive information and the IoT devices that the earable could access. Traditional authentication methods become less feasible due to the limited input interface of earables. Nevertheless, the rich head-related sensing capabilities of earables can be exploited to capture human biometrics. In this paper, we propose EarSlide, an earable biometric authentication system utilizing the advanced sensing capacities of earables and the distinctive features of acoustic fingerprints when users slide their fingers on the face. It utilizes the inward-facing microphone of the earables and the face-ear channel of the ear canal to reliably capture the acoustic fingerprint. In particular, we study the theory of friction sound and categorize the characteristics of the acoustic fingerprints into three representative classes, pattern-class, ridge-groove-class, and coupling-class. Different from traditional fingerprint authentication only utilizes 2D patterns, we incorporate the 3D information in acoustic fingerprint and indirectly sense the fingerprint for authentication. We then design representative sliding gestures that carry rich information about the acoustic fingerprint while being easy to perform. It then extracts multi-class acoustic fingerprint features to reflect the inherent acoustic fingerprint characteristic for authentication. We also adopt an adaptable authentication model and a user behavior mitigation strategy to effectively authenticate legit users from adversaries. The key advantages of EarSlide are that it is resistant to spoofing attacks and its wide acceptability. Our evaluation of EarSlide in diverse real-world environments with intervals over one year shows that EarSlide achieves an average balanced accuracy rate of 98.37% with only one sliding gesture.

Solar and Dynamo Powered Ev Using Fingerprint Authentication

Nonrenewable energy sources are already interfering with the availability of electricity. Today, the primary emphasis is on the generation of electricity from renewable sources. This proposal proposes a feasible design solution in the shape of a user-friendly three-wheeler. A fingerprint-accessible electric vehicle. This electric vehicle uses solar power and a self-changing dynamo to charge its battery. The battery serves as the vehicle's power source. A microcontroller serves as the system's primary controller. It is connected to a fingerprint module, a relay, the car ignition, and an LCD. The Microcontroller reads the input from the fingerprint module and, if it is legitimate, grants access to the ignition system. The status will be displayed on the LCD. In addition, we're adding three more sensors: speed, temperature, and voltage. Lithium-ion batteries can be harmful if not used within the safety-operated area (SOA). To avoid this, we calculate the temperature of the lithium-ion battery when it exceeds 49.9?. It will make a sound through the buzzer. This can prevent damage to the battery and the person driving the vehicle. Voltage Sensor is designed to monitor battery charging and discharging time, which is displayed on the LCD. A speed sensor is used to determine the speed of the vehicle.

Comparative Analysis of Dermatoglyphic Traits in Albanian and Roma Populations in Kosovo

We examined dermatoglyphics of children in three Albanian and one Roma population sample (collected from 641 individuals from the Albanian populations and 226 individuals from the Roma population of both sexes). We compared Albanian and Roma populations based on four finger (whorl, radial and ulnar loop, and arch) and thirteen palmar traits (pattern frequencies in the Thenar/I interdigital area, II, III, and IV interdigital area, Hypothenar and axial »t« triradius position). The differences between the populations were more evident for palmar traits. In our study the Albanian and the Roma populations showed the best separation when finger and palmar traits are separately analyzed. As expected, the Albanian and the Roma populations separated in statistical analyses of most traits; the main reason for this is the different origins of two ethnic groups. The observed difference also indicates a low level of admixture between the Albanians and the Roma despite them living beside one another for several centuries.

The fourth species of Leptobrachella (Anura, Megophryidae) found at Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve, Guangxi, China.

A new species of the genus Leptobrachella, L.guinanensissp. nov., is described in this study based on morphological, molecular, and bioacoustic data. The species was discovered in the Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve in Shangsi County, Guangxi, China. Phylogenetically, L.guinanensissp. nov. is closely related to L.ventripunctata. However, there are distinct morphological differences between L.guinanensissp. nov. and L.ventripunctata, as well as three other sympatric species (L.shangsiensis, L.shiwandashanensis, and L.sungi). These differences include body size (SVL 30.5-32.5 mm in males; 38.7-41.8 mm in females in the new species vs 25.5-28.0 mm in males, 31.5-35.0 mm in females in L.ventripunctata), the absence of brown spots on the ventral surface (vs chest and belly creamy white with many scattered brown spots in L.ventripunctata), 1/3 toe webbing and wide toe lateral fringes (vs no toe webbing and no lateral fringes in L.ventripunctata), and distinct dermal ridges under toes (vs absent in L.ventripunctata). Furthermore, the dominant vocal frequencies of the new species range from 7.3 to 8.3 kHz, which is unique compared to other Leptobrachella species and represents the highest dominant frequencies ever recorded. The Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve is now home to four known sympatric species of Leptobrachella.

Nudging safety behavior in the steel industry: Evidence from two field studies

The practice of nudging received much attention in different domains of human behaviour (e.g. finance, health, traffic safety and sustainability), but its relevance has not been systematically investigated for safety in the process industry. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of nudge interventions in promoting safety behavior in the steel industry through field experiments in a large steel plant, particularly in relation to gas hazards and falling from stairs The results of both experiments showed that the nudge interventions were very effective in promoting safety behavior among workers. An icon reminding of the gas dangers on work jackets effectively increased gas detector compliance, while hand print cues were able to promote workers holding onto handrails. Related organizational implications for a safety nudging approach are discussed. Overall, these findings suggest that nudge interventions can be a cost-effective approach to promote safety behavior in the steel industry. The suggested nudge framework should be implemented as part of a holistic safety approach to promote safety behavior among workers and prevent severe accidents.

Fingerprint Based Blood Group using Deep Learning

Fingerprints are said to be the most accurate means of identifying an individual. In a court of law, fingerprint evidence is by far the most efficient and trustworthy type of evidence. Two key factors that demonstrate the effectiveness of finger prints are that the ridges that form during fetal development remain aligned throughout an individual's life until the skin decomposes, and that no two finger prints—those of the same person or two different people—are ever the same; they always differ in terms of pattern and ridge characteristics. Due to this unique attribute of finger print, it is widely considered as conclusive evidence in the court of law. This study presents an innovative methodology for the identification of blood groups by utilizing fingerprints and advanced machine learning techniques. Fingerprint patterns, renowned for their distinctiveness and enduring nature, serve as a significant biometric identifier. In this investigation, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a specific category of advanced machine learning, are utilized to extract intricate characteristics from fingerprint images in order to forecast blood groups.

Representing the adarsh biometric balak or the ideal biometric child: locating poor children’s care work in the Aadhaar welfare state

ABSTRACT This article spotlights the role of children from poor, underprivileged families who are drawn into care work to facilitate inclusion for their families in food security by performing fingerprint authentication. Owing to the youthful suppleness of their bodies, children’s fingerprints are more likely to succeed in fulfilling biometric requirements. They are also more compliant in having their schooling or playtime disrupted by the unpredictable and time-consuming biometric authentication process. Children’s names may also be added on ration cards to facilitate food security for relatives other than their parents who depend on the biometric viability of children’s bodies and time for welfare. Supplementing ethnographic data with the state’s data of the biometric authentications recorded in the Aadhaar database of India, I make visible the poor child as an ‘ideal biometric child’ in enabling the biometric assemblage of the welfare state to care for its citizens.
