Development of a stacked machine learning model to compute the capability of ZnO-based sensors for hydrogen detection by Behzad, Vaferi

“…This study proposes a stacked model by integrating Extra tree and XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) regressor to precisely relate the sensitivity of the ZnO-based sensor to the nanocomposite's chemistry, H2 concentration, and temperature. The model's accuracy is superior to that of conventional artificial neural networks, achieving outstanding prediction results with mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.11, mean squared error (MSE) = 0.31, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) = 1.14%, and R-squared (R2) = 0.9994 based on 208 actual sensor sensitivities. …”

Hydropriming with moringa leaf extract mitigates salt stress in wheat seedlings by Ahmed, Talaat

“…Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluate the hydropriming of natural plant extract (moringa leaf extract) and water on wheat seeds and grown under different saline (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 M NaCl) environments. The germination attributes (germination percentage, germination index, mean germination day, coefficient of variance, vigor index) and seedling growth (fresh weight, dry weight, root length, shoot length) were enhanced in the plants primed by moringa leaf extract. …”
