Geospatial identification of possible rainwater harvesting locations within a high-altitude Gilgit River basin, Pakistan - Madiha Asif; Muhammad Yaseen; Syed Umair Shahid; Yasir Latif; Salma Anwar; Sohail Abbas (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2024)
The management of water resources is no longer an option but a necessity especially in countries with a high rate of population growth like Pakistan. Pakistan has a high-water scarcity, an extremely varying topography, and is also one of the countries encountering the problem of climate change. Therefore, prudent utilization of available water resources is a matter in the plains of Pakistan as in its high-altitude regions. Instead of wasting water which is a valuable resource, rainwater harvesting is a way of saving rainwater as an alternative source of fresh water for better use. The aim of this study was to search for potential rainwater-harvesting areas in a high-altitude Gilgit River basin. This research employed the SCS-CN technique in estimating surface runoff in the GIS environment. The geospatial study used four input parameters: slope of the land, land covers, surface runoff and drainage density. The research concluded that some lands, especially those that are deserted in dry area and agricultural lands, can serve as the sites of rainwater harvesting, with only 4% of area that was highly suitable for the purpose. Nevertheless, 37% of the investigated area was shown as totally unviable for rainwater collection installations because of steep slopes and substantial volume of snow. Simultaneously, the rainwater storage design solutions suggested were check dam, percolation tank, and agricultural ponds with the area of 3.5%, 1%, and 0.75% of the given land area, respectively, for rainwater harvesting. The locations of potential catchment and planned rainwater harvesting structures would assist the local authorities and the policy makers to provide plans and design on the construction of water storages and also the optimization of water use.

Background and aims Global wheat production is under threat due to climate change, specifically heat and drought and their combination. This study aims to address the root trait responses of heat-tolerant wheat genotypes to drought. Methods The variability in root traits of CIMMYT wheat lines, which were previously developed for heat stress tolerance (HTWL), was evaluated alongside 10 Pakistani-approved varieties under three cultivation conditions and soil moisture levels. Results Our findings revealed that the plasticity of the wheat root system is highly pronounced, with rhizosphere conditions exerting a more substantial influence (5–49%) than the genotypic response (1–14%). Furthermore, in the hydroponic and pot system, we noted higher maximum-root length (1.5–1.8 fold) and root-to-shoot ratio (3.4–10.6 fold) as compared to field condition, while the root biomass was substantially higher in the field trial (3-57 fold). Nonetheless, persistent drought conditions exerted contrasting impact with reduction in most of the traits except specific root length and harvest index which were increased under drought. Conclusions The variation in root traits against drought indicates the potential for the development of improved genotypes that can withstand multiple stresses. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider rhizosphere conditions when selecting genotypes, as the plasticity of wheat roots may lead to misinterpretations if rhizosphere conditions are disregarded. Root dry weight and root-to-shoot ratio are more stable traits as compared to maximum root length and specific root length. It is recommended to evaluate a broader range of rhizosphere conditions to select tolerant genotypes.

Evaluation of the antibacterial activity and protein profiling of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) epidermal mucus under different feeds and culture systems (biofloc technology and earthen pond) - Syed Sikandar Habib; Aima Iram Batool; Muhammad Fayyaz Ur Rehman; Saira Naz (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2024)
The mucus layers of fish serve as the main interface between the organism and the environment. They play an important biological and ecological role. The current study focuses on Nile tilapia epidermal mucus reared under different commercial feeds (coded A and B) and environments (biofloc technology and earthen pond systems). Crude protein levels in feed A and B were 30% and 28%, respectively. Water parameters in all culturing systems were suitable for tilapia throughout the study period. The antimicrobial potency of tilapia ( n = 5 from each) epidermal mucus was tested in vitro against human and fish pathogenic strains viz. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Francisella noatunensis , and Aeromonas hydrophila. To determine the antimicrobial activity, zones of inhibition (ZOI) were measured in millimetres and compared with two antibiotics (chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin). SDS‐PAGE analysis was performed on skin mucus samples of tilapia to determine protein quantity and size (molecular weight). Results of tilapia skin mucus (crude and aqueous) revealed a strong antibacterial effect against all the selected pathogenic strains. However, variation has been observed in the mucus potency and ZOI values between the biofloc and pond tilapia mucus. The crude mucus of tilapia fed on feed A and cultured in the pond exhibited strong antibacterial effects and high ZOI values compared to the mucus of biofloc tilapia, aqueous mucus extracts and positive control chloramphenicol (antibiotic). The SDS‐PAGE results showed that the high molecular weight proteins were found in the collected epidermal mucus of BFT‐B (240 kDa) and EP‐B (230 kDa). Several peptides in fish skin mucus may play a crucial role in the protection of fish against disease‐causing pathogens. Thus, it can be utilized in the human and veterinary sectors as an ‘antimicrobial’ for treating various bacterial infections.

This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of Metarhizium robertsii , diatomaceous earth (Protect-It), and lambda-cyhalothrin, for the long-term protection of stored wheat against three destructive grain insect pests, Rhyzopertha dominica , Tribolium castaneum , and Trogoderma granarium . Different treatments were applied, both alone and in paired combinations in laboratory and persistence trials. Single treatments exhibited significantly lower mortality rates in comparison to the paired treatments for all tested insect species. Among the single treatments, lambda-cyhalothrin (Lamb) resulted in significantly higher mortality rates in laboratory trials, followed by diatomaceous earth (DE) and M. robertsii (Mr), with insignificant differences between Mr and DE. Evidently, DE exhibited the highest persistence after 120 days of storage for all insect species and initial exposures, although variations in mortality rates among treatments were mostly insignificant. Overall, the most effective treatment in terms of mortality in laboratory, and persistence trials, and progeny production was DE + Lamb, followed by Mr + Lamb, and Mr + DE for all tested insect species. In general, the most susceptible insect species was R. dominica , followed by T. castaneum and T. granarium . This research highlights the effectiveness of M. robertsii , DE, and lambda-cyhalothrin in providing prolonged protection of stored wheat against all the examined grain insect species.

Merchant; Wendy Sunter; Muhammad Ayub Ansari; Barbara R. Conway; Syed Shahzad Hasan (European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2024)
Objective Through predictable pharmacokinetics—including a convenient fixed-dose regimen, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferred over previous treatments in anticoagulation for various indications. However, the association between higher body weight and the risk of adverse consequences is not well studied among DOAC users. We aim to explore the association of body weight and adverse clinical outcomes in DOAC users. Methods A total of 97,413 anonymised DOAC users in a tertiary care setting were identified following structured queries on the electronic health records (EHRs) to extract the feature-rich anonymised dataset. The prepared dataset was analysed, and the features identified with machine learning (ML) informed the adjustments of covariates in the multivariate regression analysis to examine the association. Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the mortality benefits of DOACs. Results Among DOAC users, the odds of adverse clinical outcomes, such as clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB), ischaemic stroke, all-cause mortality, and prolonged hospital stay, were lower in patients with overweight, obesity, or morbid obesity than in patients with normal body weight. The odds of ischaemic stroke (OR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.36–0.88, p = 0.001) and all-cause mortality (OR 0.87, 95% CI: 0.81–0.95, p = 0.001) were lower in patients with morbid obesity than in patients with normal body weight. In the Kaplan–Meier analysis, apixaban was associated with a significantly lower rate of mortality overall and in obesity and overweight subgroups than other DOACs ( p < 0.001). However, rivaroxaban performed better than apixaban in the morbid obesity subgroup ( p < 0.001). Conclusion This study shows the positive effects of DOAC therapy on clinical outcomes, particularly in patients with high body weight. However, this still needs validation by further studies particularly among patients with morbid obesity.

Deep-Neural-Network-Based Receiver Design for Downlink Non-Orthogonal Multiple-Access Underwater Acoustic Communication - Habib Hussain Zuberi; Songzuo Liu; Muhammad Bilal; Ayman Alharbi; Amar Jaffar; Syed Agha Hussnain Mohsan; Abdulaziz Miyajan; Mohsin Abrar Khan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The excavation of the ocean has led to the submersion of numerous autonomous vehicles and sensors. Hence, there is a growing need for multi-user underwater acoustic communication. On the other hand, due to the limited bandwidth of the underwater acoustic channel, downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the fundamental pieces of technology for solving the problem of limited bandwidth, and it is expected to be beneficial for many modern wireless underwater acoustic applications. NOMA downlink underwater acoustic communication (UWA) is accomplished by broadcasting data symbols from a source station to several users, which uses superimposed coding with variable power levels to enable detection through successive interference cancellation (SIC) receivers. Nevertheless, comprehensive information of the channel condition and channel state information (CSI) are both essential for SIC receivers, but they can be difficult to obtain, particularly in an underwater environment. To address this critical issue, this research proposes downlink underwater acoustic communication using a deep neural network utilizing a 1D convolution neural network (CNN). Two cases are considered for the proposed system in the first case: in the first case, two users with different power levels and distances from the transmitter employ BPSK and QPSK modulations to support multi-user communication, while, in the second case, three users employ BPSK modulation. Users far from the base station receive the most power. The base station uses superimposed coding. The BELLHOP ray-tracing algorithm is utilized to generate the training dataset with user depth and range modifications. For training the model, a composite signal passes through the samples of the UWA channel and is fed to the model along with labels. The DNN receiver learns the characteristic of the UWA channel and does not depend on CSI. The testing CIR is used to evaluate the trained model. The results are compared to the traditional SIC receiver. The DNN-based DL NOMA underwater acoustic receiver outperformed the SIC receiver in terms of BER in simulation results for all the modulation orders.

This study explored the bactericidal role of the epidermal mucus (EM) of five freshwater Cyprinid fish species namely Ctenopharyngodon idella , Labeo rohita , Catla catla , Hypophthalmichthys molitrix , and Cirrhinus mrigala after treatment with Aeromonas hydrophila . Extracts of EM (crude and acidic) of each species showed bactericidal activity against various Gram −ve ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Escherichia coli , Aeromonas hydrophila , Edwardsiella tarda , Salmonella enterica , Klebsiella pneumonia , Serratia marcescens , and Enterobacter cloacae ) and Gram +ve ( Bacillus wiedmannii and Staphylococcus aureus ) bacteria compared with standard antibiotics (Fosfomycin). The zone of inhibition (ZOI) was measured in millimetres against antibiotics (Fosfomycin). Variations in bactericidal activity of EM were observed against bacteria from the same and different fish species. The acidic extract was more effective than the crude extract and showed significantly higher ZOI values against various bacteria and Fosfomycin antibiotics. This result shows that fish EM may perform an important role in fish defence against bacteria. Therefore, this study may hint towards the substitution of synthetic antibiotics with fish EM that may be used as a novel ‘bactericidal’ in aquaculture as well as in humans against bacterial infections.

DNA metabarcoding reveals evidence of inter- and intra-guild predation by Scylla paramamosain in a marine ecosystem - Hafiz Sohaib Ahmed Saqib; Ye Yuan; Syed Shabi Ul Hassan Kazmi; Muhammad Tayyab; Zifei Xiang; Mhd Ikhwanuddin; Hongyu Ma (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction Crustacean predators exhibit diverse trophic interactions across various habitats in aquatic ecosystems. To assess their ecological roles, it is essential to understand their complete dietary spectrum. Recently, DNA-based techniques such as DNA metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing have provided insights into trophic networks and their response to environmental drivers. Methods In this study, we used these methods to investigate the impact of salinity gradients on the trophic networks of mud crabs (Scylla paramamosain) in marine ecosystems. Results Our results revealed that mud crabs prey on a wide range of taxa, including crabs (other than the host species), fish, shrimps, and other prey factions. Salinity gradients had a significant influence on the specific prey items, such as high predation on Metapenaeus, and Trigonopterus species in high salinity sites. Notably, crabs exhibited a greater infestation of Portunion parasites in environments with high salinity levels, in contrast to environments with lower salinity levels. Ordination analysis showed that mud crabs adapt their diet according to environmental constraints. Discussion Furthermore, the results indicate that mud crabs showed opportunistic predation behavior as they were observed preying on other Portunidae species sharing the same trophic guild. Overall, these findings demonstrate the dietary plasticity and associated parasite infestation of an important crustacean predator, and provide evidence that environmental changes may affect incidences of the associated parasites as well as the specific predator-prey interactions indirectly through fluctuations in marine ecosystems.
