Tracking objects over fixed surveillance cameras are widely used for security purposes in public areas such as train stations, airports, parking areas, and public transportation for the prevention of terrorism. Once the object is accurately detected in the image scene, we can use various visual algorithms to find a number of applications. In this paper, we introduce a model for tracking the multiple objects along with detecting the abandoned luggage in the real time environment. In our model, we used the initial frames to model the background scene. Next, we used the motion model that is background subtraction to detect and track moving objects such as the owner and the luggage. The proposed model also maintains the position history of moving objects followed by the frame differencing technique to find out the luggage history and detect the abandoned luggage by a human. We have used PETS2006 and PETS2007 dataset for the testing of the proposed system in various indoor and outdoor environments with varying lighting conditions.

The growth and productivity of wheat crops depend on the availability of essential nutrients such as zinc (Zn) and potassium (K2O), which play critical roles in the plant’s physiological and biochemical processes. This study aimed to investigate the synergizing effect of zinc and potassium fertilizers on uptake of both the nutrients, growth, yield, and quality of the Hashim-08 cultivar and local landrace, during the 2019–2020 growing season in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. The experiment was designed using a split plot pattern in a randomized complete pattern, with main plots for the wheat cultivars and subplots for the fertilizer treatments. Results indicated that both cultivars responded positively to the fertilizer treatments, with the local landrace exhibiting maximum plant height and biological yield, and improved Hashim-08, showing increased agronomic parameters, including the number of tillers and grains and spike length. Application of Zn and K2O fertilizers significantly enhanced agronomic parameters, such as the number of grains per plant, spike length, thousand-grain weight, grain yield, harvest index, Zn uptake of grain, dry gluten content, and grain moisture content, while crude protein and grain potassium remained relatively unchanged. The soil’s Zn and K content dynamics were found to vary among treatments. In conclusion, the combined application of Zn and K2O fertilizers proved beneficial in improving the growth, yield, and quality of wheat crops, with the local landrace exhibiting lower grain yield but greater Zn uptake through fertilizer application. The study’s findings highlight that the local landrace showed good response to the growth and qualitative parameter when compared with the Hashim-08 cultivar. Additionally, the combined application of Zn and K showed a positive relation in terms of nutrient uptake and soil Zn and K content.

Different medicinal plants have been used for treating the large number of inflammatory diseases. Among them, most of the diseases are causing the lethal effects on human body and there is need for controlling the infectious diseases due to their amazing effects. Medicinal plants contain phytoconstituents such as flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, epigallocatechin (EGC), essential oils, hematoxylins, phenolic glycosides, saponins, carbohydrates, and proteins. It also reportedly has a variety of pharmacological effects, including those that are anti-diabetic, CNS- depressant, cardioprotective, anti-bacterial, anti-menorrhagic, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-cancer. Saraca indica is revered as a potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help to keep bacteria out of the urinary tract, which also lessens pain and inflammation. To fully explore the therapeutic potential of this plant and develop it into a standard drug, more in-depth clinical research does, however, seem worthwhile.
