    Abstract In view of global environmental change, ecological factors especially temperature, affect development of the poikilotherms like insects. Since ladybirds are at risk of injury under mass-rearing conditions, their ability to regenerate injured limbs is highly crucial for their survival. Therefore, the effect of limb regeneration in relation to temperature forms the basis of the present study. The immature stages of insects, being more vulnerable to the surrounding temperature, were considered to study the effect of the prior thermal experience of larvae on regeneration. We exposed the early larval stages of the ladybird beetle, Cheilomenes sexmaculata, to different temperature conditions pre- and postamputation. Exposure of immature stages to extreme temperatures did not affect the ability to regenerate and regeneration occurred at given temperature conditions. However, the regenerated legs were smaller in size across given temperatures as compared to unamputated legs. Body weights in amputated treatments showed no difference and remained unchanged across temperatures when compared to unamputated treatments. Postamputation developmental duration, equivalent to recovery time postlimb amputation, was found to be affected by larval thermal conditions. Recovery was faster in larval treatments exposed to higher temperatures. Thus, larval thermal conditions though did not affect the ability to regenerate lost limbs directly, it does modulate the time taken to regenerate.

    Abstract Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are known for their random structural changes throughout their sequence based on the environment. The mechanism underlying these structural changes is difficult to explain. All biological processes are known to follow the direction through which they act. A study of the correlated motion can help to understand the direction of the change. Herein, we introduced the multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) technique to study the correlated motion of the peptide. The correlated motion of the sheep prion peptide was studied with the change in the temperature and solvent. These techniques helped to identify the contributing residual motions that helped to form the different secondary structures of the protein and also the triggering factors that drive these sorts of residual motions. The structural details match the experimentally reported data. It was found that the direction of the change of the secondary structure for this peptide shifted from the C-terminal to the N-terminal with an increase in the temperature. It was found that the involvement of the hydrophobic residues present at the C-terminal and the middle residues (residues 12-17) is responsible for forming a β-sheet at the normal temperature. Hydration water was found to play an important role in this change. Insights gained from this study can be used to design strategies for desirable structural changes in the IDPs.

    Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a critical biomedical signal and plays an imperative role in diagnosing cardiovascular disorders. During ECG data acquisition in clinical environment, noise is frequently present. Various noises such as powerline interference (PLI) and baseline wandering (BLW) distort the ECG signal which may lead to incorrect interpretation. Consequently, substantial emphasis has been dedicated to ECG denoising for reliable diagnosis and analysis. In this study, a novel hybrid ECG denoising method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and the empirical wavelet transform (EWT) is presented. For effective denoising using the VMD and EWT approach, the noisy ECG signal is decomposed within narrow-band variational mode functions (VMFs). The aim is to remove noise from these narrow-band VMFs. In current approach, the centre frequency of each VMF was computed and utilized to design an adaptive wavelet filter bank using EWT. This leads to effective removal of noise components from the signal. The proposed approach was applied to ECG signals obtained from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. To evaluate the denoising performance, noise sources from the MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database (NSTDB) are used for simulation. The assessment of denoising performance in based on two key metrics: the percentage-root-mean-square difference (PRD) and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The findings of the simulation experiment demonstrate that the suggested method has lower percentage root mean square difference and higher signal-to-noise ratio as compared to existing state of the art denoising methods. An average output SNR of 24.03 was achieved, along with a 5% reduction in PRD.

    Abstract Food availability is a fundamental factor determining an animal's potential fitness. Carry-over effects of food limitation from development to adulthood are known to influence reproduction, ageing, and tolerance to stress. We have examined the effect of stage-specific variation (before adult emergence or pre-emergence, post-emergence and post-mating) in food availability in Propylea dissecta (Mulsant). Larvae were reared separately on two different pre-emergence food regimes (abundant or restricted) until pupation. Newly emerged adults were further split into two groups and placed on abundant or restricted post-emergence regimes. After mating, females were split and reared on any one of two post-mating regimes. The results revealed that: (i) time to commence mating declined with increased food availability in pre- and post-emergence stages, (ii) mating duration increased with food availability post-emergence, (iii) highest reproduction output was observed in individuals who had abundant food pre- and post-emergence. However, food availability at the time of oviposition also had a strong influence on fecundity. Solo bouts of scarcity, regardless of which stage suffered them, were effectively managed in at least two of the three stages (pre-emergence, post-emergence, post-mating) had abundant food.

    Abstract Various force fields and water model potentials influence significantly RNA conformations. The polyanionic nature of RNA attracts the water molecules and the counter ions which in turn affects their stability. The interfacial water's structural and dynamic aspects affect the RNA's base-pair opening and denaturation by breaking or making inter/intra-hydrogen bonds. Herein, we employed an MD simulations study using SPC/E and modified TIP3P water models in combination with different force fields CHARMM and AMBER to find their influence on the hydration shell of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome at different temperatures. AMBER-mTIP3P model was found to give more dynamic and transient conformations for RNA. The lower dielectric constant of the SPC/E model helps in the formation of the ion-contact pair near the negatively charged phosphate group (Na+-PO4−) leading to strong RNA-ion interaction and strong hydration shells having higher hydrogen bond lifetime. The Na+ ion survival probability at the interface was found to be more in the SPC/E model. At lower temperatures, the water molecules inside these hydration shells were found to be inhomogeneous, with lower void space, higher-coordinated, and non-tetrahedral. The higher dielectric constant of the mTIP3P model screened out the attraction between the ion pairs leading to a more homogenous solvation shell having a lesser hydrogen bond lifetime and more diffusive water. The distribution of the ions near the RNA structure is confirmed by metadynamics simulations. Both water models were found to disrupt the base pair orientation due to the formation of water bridges between the O2ʹ group of RNA and the water molecules.

    Abstract The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive approach for the recording of bioelectric signals generated by the heart which is used for the examination of the electro physical state, the function of the heart, and many cardiac diseases. However, various artefacts and measurement noise usually hinder providing accurate feature extraction such as power line interference, baseline wander, electromyographic noise (EMG) and electrode motion artefact. Therefore, for better analysis and interpretation ECG signals must be noise-free. Most recent and efficient techniques for ECG denoising and feature extraction techniques have been reviewed in this paper, as feature extraction and denoising of ECG are remarkably helpful in cardiology. This paper presents the review of contemporary signal processing techniques such as discrete wavelet transform (DWT), Empirical mode decomposition (EMD), Variational mode decomposition (VMD) and Empirical wavelet transform (EWT) for ECG signal denoising and feature extraction.

    Abstract In this study, we are reporting a novel prediction model for forecasting the carbon dioxide (CO₂) fixation of microalgae which is based on the hybrid approach of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and genetic algorithm (GA). The CO₂ fixation rate of various algal strains was collected and the cultivation conditions of the microalgae such as temperature, pH, CO₂ %, and amount of nitrogen and phosphorous (mg/L) were taken as the input variables, while the CO₂ fixation rate was taken as the output variable. The optimization of ANFIS parameters and the formation of the optimized fuzzy model structure were performed by genetic algorithm (GA) using MATLAB in order to achieve optimum prediction capability and industrial applicability. The best-fitting model was figured out using statistical analysis parameters such as root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of regression (R²), and average absolute relative deviation (AARD). According to the analysis, GA-ANFIS model depicted a greater prediction capability over ANFIS model. The RMSE, R², and AARD for GA-ANFIS were observed to be 0.000431, 0.97865, and 0.044354 in the training phase and 0.00056, 0.98457, and 0.032156 in the testing phase, respectively, for the GA-ANFIS Model. As a result, it can be concluded that the proposed GA-ANFIS model is an efficient technique having a very high potential to accurately predict the CO₂ fixation rate.
