Deep Dynamic Weights for Underwater Image Restoration - Hafiz Shakeel Ahmad Awan; Muhammad Tariq Mahmood (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2024)
Underwater imaging presents unique challenges, notably color distortions and reduced contrast due to light attenuation and scattering. Most underwater image enhancement methods first use linear transformations for color compensation and then enhance the image. We observed that linear transformation for color compensation is not suitable for certain images. For such images, non-linear mapping is a better choice. This paper introduces a unique underwater image restoration approach leveraging a streamlined convolutional neural network (CNN) for dynamic weight learning for linear and non-linear mapping. In the first phase, a classifier is applied that classifies the input images as Type I or Type II. In the second phase, we use the Deep Line Model (DLM) for Type-I images and the Deep Curve Model (DCM) for Type-II images. For mapping an input image to an output image, the DLM creatively combines color compensation and contrast adjustment in a single step and uses deep lines for transformation, whereas the DCM employs higher-order curves. Both models utilize lightweight neural networks that learn per-pixel dynamic weights based on the input image’s characteristics. Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets using metrics like peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and root mean square error (RMSE) affirm our method’s effectiveness in accurately restoring underwater images, outperforming existing techniques.

Particulate and gaseous air pollutants exceed WHO guideline values and have the potential to damage human health in Faisalabad, Metropolitan, Pakistan - Nukshab Zeeshan; Ghulam Murtaza; Hamaad Raza Ahmad; Abdul Nasir Awan; Muhammad Shahbaz; Peter Freer-Smith (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2024)
First-ever measurements of particulate matter (PM 2.5 , PM 10 , and TSP) along with gaseous pollutants (CO, NO 2 , and SO 2 ) were performed from June 2019 to April 2020 in Faisalabad, Metropolitan, Pakistan, to assess their seasonal variations; Summer 2019, Autumn 2019, Winter 2019–2020, and Spring 2020. Pollutant measurements were carried out at 30 locations with a 3-km grid distance from the Sitara Chemical Industry in District Faisalabad to Bhianwala, Sargodha Road, Tehsil Lalian, District Chiniot. ArcGIS 10.8 was used to interpolate pollutant concentrations using the inverse distance weightage method. PM 2.5 , PM 10 , and TSP concentrations were highest in summer, and lowest in autumn or winter. CO, NO 2 , and SO 2 concentrations were highest in summer or spring and lowest in winter. Seasonal average NO 2 and SO 2 concentrations exceeded WHO annual air quality guide values. For all 4 seasons, some sites had better air quality than others. Even in these cleaner sites air quality index (AQI) was unhealthy for sensitive groups and the less good sites showed Very critical AQI (> 500). Dust-bound carbon and sulfur contents were higher in spring (64 mg g −1 ) and summer (1.17 mg g −1 ) and lower in autumn (55 mg g −1 ) and winter (1.08 mg g −1 ). Venous blood analysis of 20 individuals showed cadmium and lead concentrations higher than WHO permissible limits. Those individuals exposed to direct roadside pollution for longer periods because of their occupation tended to show higher Pb and Cd blood concentrations. It is concluded that air quality along the roadside is extremely poor and potentially damaging to the health of exposed workers. Graphical abstract

Water resource management and flood mitigation: hybrid decomposition EMD-ANN model study under climate change - Nisar Ahmad; Xu Yi; Muhammad Tayyab; Muhammad Hamza Zafar; Naureen Akhtar (Sustainable Water Resources Management, 2024)
The growing population and the rise in urbanization have made managing water a critical concern around the world in recent years. Globally, flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters. Flood risk mitigation relies heavily on accurate and consistent streamflow forecasts. Pakistan Upper Indus Basin (UIB) is most vulnerable to flooding. Floods have become more frequent in recent decades. UIB can be divided into sub-regions due to its landscape variability, and its collective impact is most prominent in the Massam region. UIB hydrological and meteorological station observations have been used to study seasonal hydro-meteorological variations. To predict flooding, this study proposes a hybrid model combining artificial neural networks as multi-layer perceptron (MLPs) in feed-forward mode, along with empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Data collected by the surface-water hydrology project and Pakistan Meteorological Department from 1960 to 2012, 1969 to 2012, and 1972 to 2012 have been utilized from 17 locations. Statistical parameters and Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency were measured to analyze the model’s prowess. As a result, decomposition-based models perform better than AI-based models when it comes to prediction accuracy. MLPQTP-EMD performed exceptionally better than competing AI models. The results are further validated by performing a peak value analysis during the flooding season (June–September) achieving a remarkable 91.3% score adding a 5.6% increase by EMD for input data achieving 39.3–32.3% statistical indices scores.

Genome-wide identification and in-silico expression analysis of CCO gene family in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) against abiotic stress - Adnan Sami; Muhammad Zeeshan Haider; Muhammad Shafiq; Saleh Sadiq; Farooq Ahmad (Plant Molecular Biology, 2024)
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) enzymes play an important role in plant growth and development by producing a wide array of apocarotenoids and their derivatives. These compounds are vital for colouring flowers and fruits and synthesizing plant hormones such as abscisic acid and strigolactones. Despite their importance, the gene family responsible for CCO enzymes in sunflowers has not been identified. In this study, we identify the CCO genes of the sunflower plant to fill this knowledge gap. Phylogenetic and synteny analysis indicated that the Helianthus annuus CCO (HaCCO) genes were conserved in different plant species and they could be divided into three subgroups based on their conserved domains. Analysis using MEME tool and multiple sequence alignment identified conserved motifs in the HaCCO gene sequence. Cis -regulatory elements (CREs) analysis of the HaCCO genes indicated the presence of various responsive elements related to plant hormones, development, and responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. This implies that these genes may respond to plant hormones, developmental cues, and drought stress, offering potential applications in the development of more resistant crops. Genes belonging to the 9-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenases (NCED) subgroups predominantly exhibited chloroplast localization, whereas the genes found in other groups are primarily localized in the cytoplasm. These 21 identified HaCCOs were regulated by 60 miRNAs, indicating the crucial role of microRNAs in gene regulation in sunflowers. Gene expression analysis under drought stress revealed significant up-regulation of HaNCED16 and HaNCED19 , genes that are pivotal in ABA hormone biosynthesis. During organ-specific gene expression analysis, HaCCD12 and HaCCD20 genes exhibit higher activity in leaves, indicating a potential role in leaf pigmentation. This study provides a foundation for future research on the regulation and functions of the CCO gene family in sunflower and beyond. There is potential for developing molecular markers that could be employed in breeding programs to create new sunflower lines resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses.

(Plant Cell Reports, 2024)
The escalating challenges posed by metal(loid) toxicity in agricultural ecosystems, exacerbated by rapid climate change and anthropogenic pressures, demand urgent attention. Soil contamination is a critical issue because it significantly impacts crop productivity. The widespread threat of metal(loid) toxicity can jeopardize global food security due to contaminated food supplies and pose environmental risks, contributing to soil and water pollution and thus impacting the whole ecosystem. In this context, plants have evolved complex mechanisms to combat metal(loid) stress. Amid the array of innovative approaches, omics, notably transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have emerged as transformative tools, shedding light on the genes, proteins, and key metabolites involved in metal(loid) stress responses and tolerance mechanisms. These identified candidates hold promise for developing high-yielding crops with desirable agronomic traits. Computational biology tools like bioinformatics, biological databases, and analytical pipelines support these omics approaches by harnessing diverse information and facilitating the mapping of genotype-to-phenotype relationships under stress conditions. This review explores: (1) the multifaceted strategies that plants use to adapt to metal(loid) toxicity in their environment; (2) the latest findings in metal(loid)-mediated transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics studies across various plant species; (3) the integration of omics data with artificial intelligence and high-throughput phenotyping; (4) the latest bioinformatics databases, tools and pipelines for single and/or multi-omics data integration; (5) the latest insights into stress adaptations and tolerance mechanisms for future outlooks; and (6) the capacity of omics advances for creating sustainable and resilient crop plants that can thrive in metal(loid)-contaminated environments.
