Highlights • A 22-layer CNN architecture, which has achieved an accuracy of 99.1% for 2 class classification, 94.2% for 3 class classification, and 91.2% for 4 class classification. To the best of our knowledge, the accuracy of our proposed CoroDet method is higher than the state-of-the-art method f...

Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a serious agricultural and environmental hazard. The study investigates cross-protection roles of putrescine (Put, 0.2 mM) and nitric oxide (sodium nitroprusside; SNP, 1 mM) in conferring Cd (CdCl2, 1.5 mM) tolerance in mung bean (Vigna radiata L. cv. BARI Mung-2) seedl...

The present study investigates the roles of exogenous proline (Pro, 5 mM) and glycine betaine (GB, 5 mM) in improving salt stress tolerance in salt sensitive (BRRI dhan49) and salt tolerant (BRRI dhan54) rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties. Salt stresses (150 and 300 mM NaCl for 48 h) significantly red...

We investigated the physiological and biochemical mechanisms by which H2S mitigates the cadmium stress in rice. Results revealed that cadmium exposure resulted in growth inhibition and biomass reduction, which is correlated with the increased uptake of cadmium and depletion of the photosynthetic pig...

Being sessile organisms, plants are frequently exposed to various environmental stresses that cause several physiological disorders and even death. Oxidative stress is one of the common consequences of abiotic stress in plants, which is caused by excess generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). S...

The present study investigates the regulatory role of exogenous calcium (Ca) in developing salt stress tolerance in rice seedlings. Hydroponically grown 13-day-old rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. BRRI dhan47) seedlings were exposed to 200 mM NaCl alone and combined with 2 mM CaCl2 and 2 mM ethylene glycol...

BACKGROUND: Cadmium (Cd) is an embryotoxic and teratogenic metal in a variety of animal species, but data from humans are limited. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of maternal Cd exposure in pregnancy on size at birth. METHODS: This prospective cohort study was nest...

The physiological roles of PAs (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) were investigated for their ability to confer salt tolerance (200 mM NaCl, 48 h) in mung bean seedlings (Vigna radiata L. cv. BARI Mung-2). Salt stress resulted in Na toxicity, decreased K, Ca, Mg, and Zn contents in roots and sho...

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a prevalent topic in deep learning (DL) research for their architectural advantages. CNN relies heavily on hyperparameter configurations, and manually tuning these hyperparameters can be time-consuming for researchers, therefore we need efficient optimization te...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported associations between prenatal arsenic exposure and increased risk of infant mortality. An increase in infectious diseases has been proposed as the underlying cause of these associations, but there is no epidemiologic research to support the hypothesis. OBJE...

BACKGROUND: Millions of people worldwide are drinking water with elevated arsenic concentrations. Epidemiologic studies, mainly cross-sectional in design, have suggested that arsenic in drinking water may affect pregnancy outcome and infant health. We assessed the association of arsenic exposure wit...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the cause of a large increase in the number of children with unexplained renal failure. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Children's hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. SUBJECTS: Cases were all 339 children with initially unexplained renal failure; controls were 90 children wit...

Hydroponically grown 12-day-old rice ( Oryza sativa L. cv. BRRI dhan47) seedlings were exposed to 150 mM NaCl alone and combined with 0.5 mM MnSO 4 . Salt stress resulted in disruption of ion homeostasis by Na + influx and K + efflux. Higher accumulation of Na + and water imbalance under salinity ca...
