Analyzing the impact of occupational exposures on male fertility indicators: A machine learning approach.

Occupational exposures are critical factors affecting workers' reproductive health. This study investigates the impact of magnetic fields, electric fields, whole-body vibration, noise levels, and heat stress on male reproductive indicators using advanced machine learning models. The aim is to identify key risk factors and provide predictive insights into workers' reproductive health over the next ...

Hyperspectral imaging to characterize the vegetative tissue biochemical changes in response to water deficit conditions in sorghum ().

Hyperspectral imaging has been used to determine plant stress status. However, the biological interpretation of the spectral changes remain less explored. This can be addressed by building associations between stress-induced biochemical changes and variations in spectral reflectance. To this end, we tested spectral response of sorghum mutants under varying water stress levels using hyperspectral ...
