A Review on Edible Ornamental Flower Crops: Bioactive Properties and Health Benefits | Chapter 9 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 2

Edible ornamental flower crops represent a harmonious fusion of aesthetics and functionality in horticulture. This chapter explores the intricate balance required to cultivate visually stunning blooms with nutritional significance. Describing the cultivation strategies for edible ornamental crops reveals a tailored approach, considering specific NPK ratios and micronutrient supplementation. Notable examples, such as nasturtiums and marigolds, showcase the diverse requirements of edible ornamental flowers. While phosphorus-enriched fertilizers stimulate prolific blooming in nasturtiums, marigolds flourish with a balanced NPK blend. The synthesis of artistic allure and nutritional value is achieved through meticulous attention to soil health and organic matter incorporation. This chapter delves into the delicate interplay between ornamental aesthetics and horticultural functionality, underscoring the significance of fertilization practices in cultivating these captivating and nourishing botanical wonders.

Determination of Non-Pituitary down Regulation Protocol for Ovulation Induction in ART (IVF & ICSI)| Chapter 5 | Current Overview on Disease and Health Research Vol. 9

 This study should prove that consumption of gonadotropins is less and the time of ovulation induction is less so less cost effect benefit. ART (IVF/ ICSI) is a multistep process involving ovarian stimulation, ovulation induction, collection of oocytes, fertilization with sperm, and transfer of the fertilized oocytes to the uterus for implantation and maturation.

With the advent of numerous ovarian stimulation protocols, the pregnancy outcome has significantly improved. Pituitary downregulation gives better results in terms of oocyte quantity and quality, which results in more embryos and more embryos being frozen for later transfer to the patient's uterus.
From literature we found that pregnancy outcome in minimal stimulation protocol gives almost the same result, especially in advanced patients age with less side effect. In our study on 1652 patients who admitted for ICSI and started their ovarian stimulation by HMG or FSH without pituitary down regulation protocol. This protocol gives the pregnancy outcome same as in the other protocols with less side effects and low coast. The recent development of GnRH antagonists has offered an alternative approach in IVF treatment with no significant difference in pregnancy outcome. The use of antagonist protocol to be safer in PCO patients.

Determination of Physical Evolution of Solutions in Response to the Contact of Water with Beans: An Approach to Soaking and Boiling | Chapter 4 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 3

 The purpose of this work is to illustrate the physical evolution of solutions resulting from the soaking and cooking of beans. This is motivated by a desire to learn more about the unique behaviour of bean end-of-cooking solutions when put into the soil. To do this, soaking solutions were created by mixing 2 kilogramme of sorted and immediately washed beans seed with 8 kg of water with known physical properties. The solutions from cooked beans were made by setting fire to a saucepan containing a mixture of soaking water and bean seeds. The beans were a Phaseolus vulgaris L. variety called "Meringue." There were no salts used in the cooking procedure. The following are the solution samples that were collected: 30 and 60 minutes after the start of the soaking process, 30, 60, and 90 minutes after the start of the cooking process of the beans soaked for 60 minutes, respectively. After each sampling, the water used in the cooking process was replaced with an equal volume of the solution collected. The water used in the cooking process is transparent in colour. When it comes to soaking solutions, they get reddish with time. The soaking and cooking solutions turned a dark red colour. The rich red colouring changes to a strong brown tint after 60 minutes of cooking after soaking. In comparison to the scenario observed in the water utilised for the cooking procedure, the solution handled in the current investigation gradually enhanced in flakes from soaking and boiling the beans. However, after the soaking procedure, the enrichment rises sharply with the start of the cooking process. In terms of consequence, all of the physical parameters considered in this case study, namely the mass, volumetric mass, and density of the various solutions, grow in the same way. The infiltration experiments, which included water used for various operations, solutions from the end of boiling the beans, and human urine, revealed that the water from cooked beans has a very low infiltration rate when compared to the water used for the processes and human urine. Cooked bean water is a heterogeneous mixture, particularly a proteic globular suspension containing significant amounts of carbohydrates. The whole infiltration of the end-of-cooking-bean solution indicates the presence of a film of a substance carrying moulds on the infiltration surface, which is created by the solution's progressive settling. The correlations found between the many metrics examined here are extremely positive. However, in the case of correlation research, the influence of an under-appreciated parameter, known as temperature, has been found as the cause of the questioned behaviour of the parameters taken in pairs. Finally, the unique behaviour of the bean end-of-cooking solution when put into the soil is justified by its gradual enrichment in organic matter during the cooking process, according to this research.
