SuriyaThe complicated neural networks of the human mind have acted as a significant model for creating artificial neural networks (ANNs) of computational intelligence. ANNs can recognize patterns in data, make decisions, and perform other functions. The study provides a comprehensive review that explores ANNs by analysing the crucial elements of learning rules and perceptron architectures. This chapter clarifies the foundational learning rules underlying ANNs’ ability to adapt and generalize from data. The investigation comprehensively inspects the vital elements of learning rules and perceptron architectures in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) inspired by the detailed neuronal networks of the human brain. This chapter subsequently explores the dynamic realm of perceptron architectures within ANNs. Single-layer perceptrons are examined for their inability to handle intricate relationships. In contrast, multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) emerge as formidable solutions. The complex composition of MLPs, characterized by input, hidden, and output layers, is deconstructed, highlighting their potential to capture intricate non-linear patterns through the strategic deployment of activation functions. This analysis showcases a merging of academic notions and actionable effects. The combined effect between learning rules and perceptron architectures forms the foundation of ANNs’ expertise in pattern recognition, prediction, and decision-making tasks. By comprehensively understanding these underpinnings, researchers and practitioners can connect the potential of ANNs across diverse domains.Item ADSORPTION BEHAVIOR OF VX NERVE AGENT ON X12Y12 NANOCAGES: A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY(Springer, 2024-08) Prince Makarios Paul, S; Parimala devi, D; Praveena, G; Jeba Beula, RHerein our study, analysis on the adsorption of VX nerve agent on to X12Y12(Al12N12, Al12P12, C12Si12 and Mg12O12) nanocages is done using density functional theory (DFT).

Both the coated tomatoes and blueberries did not exhibit spoilage indicating antimicrobial activity of the coating. Direct testing of the coating formulations exhibited significant anti-microbial activity against Staphyococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeroginosa. The polymer films, prepared using the coating formulation, exhibited low moisture content (34.8 ± 2.02% and 41.5 ± 1.34%), low solubility (42.56 ± 2.3% and 31.31 ± 3.1%), low tensile strength (0.34 ± 0.05 N m−2 and 0.75 ± 0.07 N m−2) and high elongation (63.2 ± 4.12% and 71.5 ± 3.8%). These measured film properties confirm that the polymer film has good flexibility and is suitable for edible packaging. Overall, the newly developed AC edible coating exhibits significant potential for a wide range of applications within the food processing industry, offering a viable substitute for conventional wax and lipid-based coatings.Item AMINOGUANIDINIUM HYDROGEN 1,1-CYCLOBUTANE DICARBOXYLATE: SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDIES(Elsevier B.V, 2024) Sheikdawood, Parveen; Shanmugapriya, A; Saravanakumar, B; Hung-Huy, Nguyen; Kanchana, P; Regina Delcy, VOn neutralization of Aminoguanidine bicarbonate (H2Agun) with 1,1 -cyclobutane dicarboxylic acid (H2CBD) resulted aminoguanidinium salt, [(HAgun)+ (HCBD)-].

Pesticides infiltrate water bodies through runoff, chemical spills, and leachate, adversely affecting algae, vital primary producers in marine ecosystems. The repercussions cascade through higher trophic levels, underscoring the need for a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between pesticides, algae, and the broader ecosystem. Algae, susceptible to pesticides via spillage, runoff, and drift, experience disruptions in community structure and function, with certain species metabolizing and bioaccumulating these contaminants. The toxicological mechanisms vary based on the specific pesticide and algal species involved, particularly evident in herbicides' interference with photosynthetic activity in algae. Despite advancements, gaps persist in comprehending the precise toxic effects and mechanisms affecting algae and non-target species. This review consolidates information on the exposure and toxicity of diverse pesticides and herbicides to aquatic algae, elucidating underlying mechanisms. An emphasis is placed on the complex interactions between pesticides/herbicides, nutrient content, and their toxic effects on algae and microbial species. The variability in the harmful impact of a single pesticide across different algae species underscores the necessity for further research. A holistic approach considering these interactions is imperative to enhance predictions of pesticide effects in marine ecosystems. Continued research in this realm is crucial for a nuanced understanding of the repercussions of pesticides and herbicides on aquatic ecosystems, mainly algae.Item AN ASSESSMENT OF METAL ABSORPTION COMPETENCE OF INDIGENOUS METAL TOLERANT BACTERIAL SPECIES- AN IN-VITRO STUDY(Elsevier, 2024) Anusha, P; Natarajan, D; Sumathy, Rengarajan; Saleh, Alfarraj; Sabariswaran, KandasamyHeavy metals pose a serious global threat to the environment. Hence, removing hazardous metals from soil samples has become complicated over the past few years.
