    The sports sector could see a revolution in player performance enhancement and injury prevention, especially with recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI). In order to identify areas for improvement and potential injury risks, this proposed work aims to utilize the potential of AI techniques, such as XGBoost, to evaluate extensive player data, including movement patterns, biomechanics, and physical condition. This strategy is unusual because it combines real-time feedback systems with AI-powered predictive modeling to offer athletes and coaches individualized training advice and early warnings about potential injury risks. Cleaning and normalization were done during the preparation phase to make sure the data was suitable for analysis. Utilizing XGBoost for feature extraction allowed for the identification of critical factors affecting efficiency and injury risk. In sports analytics, the suggested XGBoost-AI system was compared to other AI-based techniques for improving performance and avoiding injuries. The study’s findings show that the XGBoost classifier significantly improves performance accuracy, which may reach 96%. This is in contrast to conventional approaches that depend on subjective evaluations and human data analysis, which can result in errors and inefficiencies. Python is used to implement the suggested work. AI-driven sports analytics platform can improve game strategy, fan engagement, and data-driven decision-making for sports organizations, enhancing competitiveness and sustainability in the sports industry.

    Crystal structures of hemoglobin (Hb) from two flightless birds, ostrich (Struthio camelus) and turkey (Meleagris gallopova), were determined. The ostrich Hb structure was solved to a resolution of 2.22 Å, whereas two forms of turkey Hb were solved to resolutions of 1.66 Å (turkey monoclinic structure; TMS) and 1.39 Å (turkey orthorhombic structure; TOS). Comparison of the amino-acid sequences of ostrich and turkey Hb with those from other avian species revealed no difference in the number of charged residues, but variations were observed in the numbers of hydrophobic and polar residues. Amino-acid-composition-based computation of various physical parameters, in particular their lower inverse transition temperatures and higher average hydrophobicities, indicated that the structures of ostrich and turkey Hb are likely to be highly ordered when compared with other avian Hbs. From the crystal structure analysis, the liganded state of ostrich Hb was confirmed by the presence of an oxygen molecule between the Fe atom and the proximal histidine residue in all four heme regions. In turkey Hb (both TMS and TOS), a water molecule was bound instead of an oxygen molecule in all four heme regions, thus confirming that they assumed the aqua-met form. Analysis of tertiary- and quaternary-structural features led to the conclusion that ostrich oxy Hb and turkey aqua-met Hb adopt the R-/RH-state conformation.

    Abstract FeGa2S4 type FeIn2Se4 compound was prepared by high temperature vacuum melting solid state reaction technique. The crystal structure of the prepared compound was studied using power X-ray diffraction analysis and Pawley profile fitting analysis was carried by TOPAS V4.1 computer program. The electrical resistivity of the FeIn2Se4 compound was measured using high precision source measurement unit in the temperature range of 323 to 683 K at inert atmosphere. Seebeck coefficient measurement was examined in the home made thermopower measurement system. The power factor (S2/ρ) was calculated and it is found that the compound exhibit highest power factor value of 3.5 μW/cmK2 at 643 K.

  • Study of crystal structure and unique photoluminescence properties of Eu<inf>2-x</inf>Fe<inf>x</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (x = 0 - 0.5) orthoferrites

    A series of Europium orthoferrites, Eu2-xFexO3 (x = 0 – 0.5) are successfully prepared by employing solid state reaction technique. The structural analysis through powder X-Ray diffraction technique reveals the multiphase formation of all the prepared compounds. Further, the unit cell visualization of all the prepared compounds confirms the change of crystal structure from cubic to orthorhombic phase. The crystal structure analysis confirms the typical framework of Eu – Fe – O chains with unprecedented ratio of Eu3+ and Fe3+ ions. The optical properties of prepared compounds are investigated using photoluminescence (PL) analysis. Upon excitation at 495 nm wavelength, the emission spectrum of prepared compounds exhibits a broad band in the range of 500-700nm with maximum intensity peak at 548 nm (Blue – 2.26eV). Hence, the substitution of Fe3+ ion yields with intrinsic blue photoluminescence (5D0 → 7F0) of Eu3+ and is easily shielded by the substitution of Fe3+ which may be due to the closer conduction band gap of Eu3+ (2.26 eV) with Fe3+ (2.67 eV). The schematic energy level diagram for Fe3+ in the Eu3+ host matrix has been proposed for the better understanding of photoluminescence processes. The variation of intensity of PL peak between 500 and 700 nm for the substitution of Fe in the range of x = 0 – 0.5 yields with interesting optical properties for exploring new phosphor materials for optoelectronic device fabrications.A series of Europium orthoferrites, Eu2-xFexO3 (x = 0 – 0.5) are successfully prepared by employing solid state reaction technique.
