The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has gained significant attention due to its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and scalable approach. In this study, Coleus aromaticus leaf extracts, both boiled and squeezed, were utilized to synthesize AgNPs from silver nitrate (AgNO₃) solutions. The efficiency of nanoparticle formation was analyzed using UV-visible spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

Endophytes are the microorganisms that live in the plant tissues without causing any harm to the host. These enhance plant growth, provide resistance to the environmental stress and also protect the host plant from the pathogens. The endophytes are bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. These can be isolated from different plant parts on the media. Their […]
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing various aspects of human life, from economic structures and healthcare to education and social interactions. While AI offers unprecedented benefits such as automation, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making, it also poses challenges, including ethical concerns, job displacement, and privacy risks. This paper explores the multifaceted impacts of AI on society, emphasizing its […]
Digestive disorders encompass a variety of conditions that disrupt the normal functioning of the digestive system. These conditions may be triggered by factors such as poor nutrition, infections, stress, genetic predispositions, or other underlying health problems. Common digestive issues include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
In order to handle uncertainty in supply chain networks that make decisions at multiple levels and with multiple objectives, this study introduces a fuzzy-based optimization method. To solve the multi-objective optimization problem under uncertainty, the suggested method integrates fuzzy set theory with mathematical programming.
India's rich heritage stretches from Dal Lake in the north to the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas in the south. The Punjab region has witnessed various historical eras, from Indo-Aryan and Vedic to Mauryan, Buddhist, Hindu, Mughal, and British rule. Each period has left behind significant historical landmarks, including palaces, forts, museums, and shrines. Beyond […]
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) play a vital role in pharmaceutical drug discovery, providing legal protection for innovations while balancing public health concerns. Patents serve as the primary mechanism for safeguarding pharmaceutical inventions, granting exclusive rights for a specified period, typically 20 years. These protections help companies recover significant research investments, which can range from $300 […]
The objective of this study is the ethnobotanical exploration and phytochemical screening of plants belonging to the spices category from Bargarh district of Odisha. The plants were tabulated as scientific name, family name, local name, the parts used, and traditional uses. For phytochemical analysis ten selected fresh parts of species were collected. The results revealed […]
The valuation of pre-owned cars is a crucial aspect of the used car market, where accurate price estimation can help buyers and sellers make informed decisions. This study employs Machine Learning (ML) techniques to develop a predictive model for estimating resale values. A dataset of used cars is processed through data cleaning, feature encoding, and […]
A throat culture, also known as a throat swab culture, is a diagnostic test to detect bacterial or fungal infections in the throat. A sample is collected using a cotton swab and analyzed in a lab. Results are available in 2–7 days, helping doctors prescribe appropriate treatment for recovery.
Fish morphological studies form a crucial foundation for molecular research, aiding in accurate species identification, taxonomy, and evolutionary analysis. Examining external traits like fins, scales, and body shape provides essential data for guiding molecular phylogenetic studies and interpreting outcomes such as DNA barcoding. Morphological features reveal how fish adapt to environments and help identify potential […]
Artificial intelligence or ‘AI’ is transforming agriculture by utilizing sophisticated technologies to promote sustainability and increase efficiency. Precise crop and soil monitoring as well as early disease and pest detection made possible by machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)—including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning—lead to better yield forecasts and resource management. Statistical data shows […]
Advances in nanotechnology have made it possible to produce cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), and bacterial cellulose (BC), which have demonstrated great potential in a variety of applications, including biomedical, pharmaceutical, and environmental fields. Recent developments in nano-cellulose-based sustainable biomaterials have revolutionised the field of biomaterials science. Nano-cellulose, which is derived from renewable plant […]
This research focuses on predicting crop yield and identifying the most suitable crop based on soil and environmental features using machine learning techniques. The study uses features like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Rainfall, pH level, and Soil Type to predict crop production. A Linear Regression algorithm is applied to train the model and […]
The most abundant organic substance on earth is cellulose. Plant cell walls are largely composed of cellulose, a polysaccharide, a type of carbohydrate, which is extensively dispersed in plants. A natural polymer, cellulose has drawn a lot of interest lately because of its possible uses in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biological sectors. A sustainable and […]
Agricultural extension in India has significantly evolved post-independence, transitioning from colonial-era demonstration methods to a decentralized, technology-integrated framework. This chapter traces the historical development, policy reforms, institutional innovations, and diverse impacts of extension systems, emphasizing their contribution to agricultural productivity, sustainability, and rural livelihood improvement.
Women play a crucial role in agriculture, particularly in rural areas, yet they often face significant barriers to resources, extension services, and decision-making. Despite forming a large part of the agricultural workforce, rural women struggle with limited land rights, inadequate access to inputs and training, and socio-cultural restrictions. Gender-inclusive agricultural extension services aim to bridge […]
