This Study Presents A Runtime And Security Evaluation Of Lightweight Biometric Models For Edge-based Access Control. The Work Evaluates MobileNetV2 For Face Recognition And EfficientNetB0 For Fingerprint Recognition Within An Edge-aware Access-control Environment. The Models Were Assessed Using Locally Captured Biometric Datasets And Public Benchmark Datasets, With Emphasis On Verification Accuracy, False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR), Equal Error Rate (EER), ROC-AUC, Model Size, Inference Latency, Throughput, And Real-time Decision Performance. The Results Show That The Lightweight Biometric Models Can Provide Reliable Identity Verification While Maintaining Practical Runtime Performance For Edge Deployment. The Face Model Achieved Strong Verification Performance With Low Error Rates, While The Fingerprint Model Provided Complementary Biometric Evidence For Improved Access Reliability. The Findings Demonstrate That Lightweight Deep Learning Models Can Support Secure, Fast, And Scalable Biometric Access Control In Edge Computing Environments Where Low Latency, Privacy Protection, And Real-time Authentication Are Required.

Herbal Antibacterial Ointments Are Widely Used For The Treatment Of Skin Infections, Cuts, Wounds, Burns, And Microbial Diseases Because Of Their Natural Origin, Safety, And Therapeutic Effectiveness. The Present Study Focuses On The Formulation And Evaluation Of An Antibacterial Ointment Using Herbal Extracts Such As Garlic Skin Extract, Rice Husk Extract, Banana Leaf Extract, And Peanut Oil Extract. These Plant Materials Contain Bioactive Compounds Like Flavonoids, Phenolics, Tannins, Sulfur Compounds, And Antioxidants That Exhibit Significant Antibacterial Activity Against Pathogenic Microorganisms.The Ointment Was Prepared By Incorporating The Herbal Extracts Into An Ointment Base Using The Fusion Method. The Prepared Formulation Was Evaluated For Various Physicochemical Parameters Including Color, Odor, Consistency, PH, Spreadability, Homogeneity, Washability, Viscosity, And Stability. Antibacterial Activity Was Evaluated By Agar Well Diffusion Method Against Selected Bacterial Strains Such As Staphylococcus Aureus And Escherichia Coli. The Formulation Showed Good Appearance, Smooth Texture, Acceptable PH, And Satisfactory Spreadability With No Signs Of Irritation. The Antibacterial Study Indicated Effective Inhibition Of Bacterial Growth Due To The Presence Of Active Phytoconstituents In The Extracts.The Study Concludes That The Formulated Herbal Antibacterial Ointment Possesses Promising Antibacterial Activity And Can Be Used As A Safe And Effective Topical Preparation For The Management Of Minor Skin Infections And Wounds.
