156. USE OF FOOD WASTE: 'CHANNEL TO CANAL'

Author

Ahmad, Maqsood

Subjects
Food Waste, Regulations
Abstract

As the population growing, a large amount of food waste is produced with an increase in population and therefore, increasing industrial processes in order to fulfill the demand of such a big population. However, there is not a proper rules and regulations for this waste management. Whereas current legislations on food waste treatment priorities the prevention of waste rather than its use. Food waste is a reservoir of adequate quantities of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nutraceuticals. Some recent studies for food supply chain waste pave the way for the production of biofuels, enzymes, bioactive compounds, and nanoparticles.

Author

Zulqarnain, Muhammad, Alsaedi, Ahmed Khalaf Zager, Sheikh, Rubab, Javid, Irfan, Ahmad, Maqsood, and Ullah, Ubaid

Abstract

Sentiment analysis is a particularly common task for determining user thoughts and has been widely used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) was already effectively integrated into the NLP process with comparatively excellent results. GRU networks outperform traditional recurrent neural networks in sequential learning tasks and solve gradient vanishing and explosion limitations of RNNs. This paper introduces a new method called Normalize Auto-Encoded GRU (NAE-GRU) to address data dimensionality reduction using an Auto-Encoder and to improve performance through batch normalization. Empirically, we demonstrate that with slight adjustments to hyperparameters and optimization of statistic vectors, the proposed model achieves excellent results in sentiment classification on benchmark datasets. The developed NAE-GRU approach outperformed other various traditional approaches in terms of accuracy and convergence rate. The experimental results showed that the developed NAE-GRU approach accomplished better sentiment analysis accuracy of 91.32%, 82.27%, 87.43%, and 84.49% on IMDB, SSTb, Amazon review, and Yelp review datasets respectively. Furthermore, experimental results have shown that the developed approach is proficient in reducing the loss function and capturing long-term relationships with an effective design that achieved excellent results compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract

Nowadays approximately 20 thrips species have been reported to infest cotton internationally causing considerable yield losses. Monitoring thrips is hard as they are about minute and are mysterious feeders, which build thrips not easy to manage by chemical. The present investigations were designed to test out the seasonal outbreak of thrips individuals on two cotton varieties and effect of ecological components markedly temperature, humidity and rainfall on it. The impact of different sowing dates was also intentional. The results indicated that thrips population was maximum (11.83/leaf) found on Cyto-179 and (8.22/leaf) on IUB-2013. In the first sown cotton, the peak activity of thrips was during the second week of August while for second planting time it was first week of August. The results from correlation analysis showed the positive association was found between the thrips abundance and temperature. While the analysis showed unconstructive correlation of relative humidity and rainfall with thrips abundance. Both cotton cultivars proved extra vulnerable to the thrips hit. A biotic factors played momentous role in the growth along with surveillance of this pest. So, by managing the agronomic factors, e.g. sowing time, cotton yield could be enhanced by reducing the infestation of thrips.

Abstract

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion. Based on its clinical, morphological, and radiological features, OF is further divided into cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF), and juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF). JPOF rarely involves the cranial base, with limited reports published on spheno-orbital JPOF. In this paper, we report a case of JPOF of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and lateral orbital wall in an 11-year-old child and show a surgical video. Although rare, JPOF should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fibro-osseous lesions of the spheno-orbital region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: To present 2 years' experience of working at operating room Armed Forces Institute of Urology finding the causes for surgery cancellation. Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi, from Sep 2016 to Sep 2018. Methodology: The authors retrospectively reviewed operation theatre record of two years finding all cancelled cases. The cases cancelled on each operation day were enlisted for the study while entering the cause of negation. The factors contributing cancellation were separated to patient related and hospital related. These hospital and patient related factors were further divided into avoidable or unavoidable category. "Avoidable" was defined as a cancellation due to circumstances or information that existed prior to the day of surgery and could have been avoided with adequate review or communication by the medical staff before the date of surgery and can be prevented by preemptively addressing the components contributing to cancellation. Similarly unavoidable factors are those factors which are beyond human control and cannot be eliminated but reduced to minimum. Results: A total of 584/10,000 (5.84%) cases were cancelled on the day of surgery. Avoidable cancellations were found in 359 (61.5%) cases versus 225 (38.5%) of unavoidable causes. Of the avoidable cancellations, 18% were hospital related versus 43% were patient related causes. Of the avoidable, hospital related cancellations, the most common event were related to poor preparation of the patient, scheduling error and poor surgical decision. The unavoidable hospital related causes were 65 (11%) versus patient related 160 (27%). Conclusions: A thorough pre anesthetic checkup, optimization of concurrent conditions and discussing next day operation list may minimize the surgery cancellation rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The extreme usage of fossil fuels and the rising conservation deterioration have made developing clean, renewable energy essential. Among the most promising methods for addressing the world’s energy dilemma are electrochemical energy storage devices (EES); batteries and supercapacitors (SCs) are two typical components in this class. Supercapacitors are incredibly impressive since they can store energy remarkably in seconds. In this work, we present a highly effective electrode material (AgCoS@MXene) for supercapattery device application that is produced hydrothermally. We examined the morphology and crystallinity of the synthesized materials using SEM and XRD studies. The synthesized compounds were subjected to a thorough electrochemical performance study employing a three-electrode configuration in a 1 M KOH electrolyte. AgCoS@MXene demonstrated an exceptional Qs of 943.22 C g−1at a current density of 2.0 A g−1. We formed a supercapattery device (AgCoS@MXene//AC) with AgCoS@MXene as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode. The supercapattery device was demonstrated to have a high specific capacity of 315.22 C g−1, a power density of 1275 W kg−1, and an energy density of 35.94 Wh kg−1. In addition, 5000 charging and discharging cycles were used to assess the device’s long-term longevity. The findings indicated that the device preserved nearly 82% of its initial capacity. Besides, the hybrid electrode is used for the electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction. These promising findings imply that AgCoS@MXene is a beneficial electrode material for upcoming energy storage devices to enhance the electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Abstract

The handling of the remnants of rice crops in the field is not an easy operation, and farmers prefer burning, which causes air pollution, smog, and disease. This research reports the development of a novel precision crop seeder by handling the remnants of previous crops through mechanization. The precision seeder performed multiple operations in a single path, viz, chop residues, incorporate into soil, make mini trenches, and sow wheat with fertilizer application. The precision seeder has a 2040 mm working width, and specially designed C-type blades are used to shred the crop residue. A multiple-speed gearbox with a gear ratio of 1:0.52 is installed, with a further set of spur gears with 16, 18, and 20 teeth that provide 225, 250, 310, and 350 RPMs to the main rotor. In the middle of the seeder, after the main rotor shaft, 11 V-shaped trencher plates are fixed on the trencher roller for the making of trenches. The trencher roller is powered by star wheels, which showed good results. A zero-tillage-type sharp tip edge novel seeder unit was developed for the precise placement of seed and fertilizer. Seed and fertilizer were placed into the mini trenches through 11 seeder units through a ground wheel calibration system. The field capacity of the precision seeder was 0.408 ha/h and the operational cost was calculated 40.68 USD/ha. The seeder showed good results, with the production of 5028 kg/ha compared to conventional methods. The precision seeder provides a mechanized solution for wheat sowing with minimal operational costs by enhancing organic matter in soil with 13% more yield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
