A fast (CNN + MCWS-transformer) based architecture for protein function prediction.

The transformer model for sequence mining has brought a paradigmatic shift to many domains, including biological sequence mining. However, transformers suffer from quadratic complexity, i.e.

Tailoring the Synthesis Route of Reduced Graphene Oxide and Its Toxicological Effects on Allium cepa L.

The synthesis and use of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) have increased recently due to its numerous applications in drug delivery systems, regenerative medicine, fertilizers, antibacterial agents, and biosensors. Consequently, large quantities of RGO are deposited in the environment through industrial wastewater or agricultural products, whereupon they are liable to contaminate farming lands and soils in general. In this work, RGO was synthesized using two different reducing agents, namely, sodium borohydride (conventional reductant; RGO-I) and sucrose, (green reductant; RGO-II) and characterized using various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques.

Critical thresholds of BHBA and NEFA for subclinical ketosis and its prevalence prediction in Indian mithun (Bos frontalis) cows demonstrated by ROC analyses.

Indian mithun (Bos frontalis), a rare ruminant species, is exclusively found in northeastern hill region of India and reared under semi-intensive system. Subclinical ketosis (SCK) is caused by an imbalance between energy supply and the needs of cows during lactation. To date, SCK prevalence is not known in mithun and biomarkers for its prediction have not been standardized.

Peritoneal Cancer Index Correlates with Radiographic Assessment of Colorectal Carcinomatosis.

Background: The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI), calculated intraoperatively, has previously yielded mixed results when correlated with computed tomography. This study aimed to quantify variation in this scoring method comparing radiologists' and surgeons' radiologic PCI (rPCI) assessment.

Methods: The rPCI of 104 patients treated at a single institution for peritoneal carcinomatosis was calculated by an abdominal radiologist and a surgeon.
