Abstract: The nutritional quality and processing quality of high-quality strong gluten wheat flour were analyzed in this study. In terms of nutritional quality, the contents of wet gluten, protein, starch, and ash were determined, and the frequency distribution was mostly normal, and the sedimentation value was skewed. The peak viscosity and recovery value in the pasting characteristics are normally distributed, the pasting temperature is bimodal distribution, the water absorption rate in the silty characteristics is normal distribution, the weakening degree, dough formation time and consistency are skewed distribution, and the stabilization time has a special shape. The maximum resistance, 50 mm resistance, and elongation showed a skewed distribution. Different varieties of wheat flour showed differences in each index.

Abstract: This paper proposes an innovative AI-powered hive monitoring system designed to address the critical issue of Varroa destructor mite infestations in honey bee colonies. The Varroa mite poses a significant threat to global bee populations, weakening bees, transmitting diseases, and potentially leading to colony collapse. Traditional control methods, such as chemical treatments, often have adverse effects on bee health and the environment. Our proposed system leverages advanced technologies, including machine learning, computer vision, and sensor networks, to provide a more sustainable and effective solution for mitigating the impact of Varroa mites on bee populations.......

Abstract: The production of plastic, which became indispensable for modern society in the last 70 years, has increased more than 300-fold; the global market will be 627 billion US dollars in 2023. To modify the flexibility and rigidity of the plastic, chemicals called plasticizers are added. Therefore, it is not surprising that plastic (micro, nanoparticles) and the plasticizers phthalates, bisphenols, and their substitutes are widely present in all segments of the environment (water, air, soil, food, animals). Plasticizers are also present in remote areas. Humans interact with plasticizers via food containers, medicines, toys, electronic devices, building materials, cosmetics,......

Abstract: This study evaluated the influence of varying rates of organic inputs, specifically cow dung and poultry droppings (COPODs), alongside different plant spacings and watermelon varieties, on soil quality, fruit nutrient content (NPK), and profitability in Gashua, Nigeria. The factorial design incorporated four COPODs application rates (0, 4t+1t, 8t+2t, 12t+3t), four planting distances (25, 50, 75 and 100 cm), and four watermelon varieties (Sugar baby, Koalack, Royal sweet, and Paradise). Soil samples collected at both the start and end of the experiment helped assess the impacts on soil properties, while a profitability analysis determined the economic viability of each treatment.......

Abstract: Background: Sawdust or wood cheeping is lignocellulosic biomass that has enormous prospects. Sawdust (having 50% carbon) releasing from saw milling is not properly processed but dumped that causes the environmental pollution. One of the most notable sources of pollution is open air burning of such wastes. Air pollution is a matter of serious concern in Bangladesh. The overall aim of this study was to produce more healthy air by converting sawdust into economically valuable products.
Materials and Methods: A potential cellulolytic bacteria (FFS1) was isolated from sawdust and identified based on the cultural......
