and evaluation of the biofilm-degrading phage Motto, as a candidate for phage therapy.

Infections caused by are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to the emergence of strains that have acquired multidrug resistance. Therefore, phage therapy has gained attention as an alternative to the treatment of pseudomonal infections. Phages are not only bactericidal but occasionally show activity against biofilm as well.

Electrochromic Performance of Sputtered NbTi-Based Mixed Metal Oxide Thin Films with a Metallic Seed Layer.

An attempt has been made to promote the efficiency of the electrochromic (EC) windows to perform at a faster switching rate with good coloration and easy recyclability. In this work, ion-assisted pulsed DC unbalanced confocal magnetron sputtering is used to fabricate mixed metal oxide thin films of Nb and Ti (which are termed as NTO) for EC applications. Further, to increase the EC efficiency of this film, a very thin metallic seed layer is incorporated between the substrate and the film using the layer-by-layer (LBL) coating strategy.

CNN supported automated recognition of Covid-19 infection in chest X-ray images.

Automatic recognition of lung system is use to identify normal and covid infected lungs from chest X-ray images of the people. In the year 2020, the coronavirus forcefully pushed the entire world into a freakish situation, the foremost challenge is to diagnosis the coronavirus. We have got standard diagnosis test called PCR test which is complex and costlier to check the patient's sample at initial stage.

In Situ Decorated Ni Metallic Layer with CoS-Layered Thin Films via a Layer-by-Layer Strategy Using Pulsed Laser Deposition for Enhanced Electrocatalytic OER.

The catalytic activity of 3d-transition-metal-based electrocatalysts has exhibited considerable enhancements in electrocatalytic water splitting via pioneering modulations in the active sites. To overcome the energy loss because of the mechanic steps involved in a complex oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the electrode surface with only a few layers would be an advantage over multilayers for the ease of the electrolyte interaction and gas evolution. Here, for the first time, thin films of CoS are prepared on a carbon cloth via a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique via layer-by-layer deposition of Ni that tend to give Ni-CoS thin films.

Study of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction Catalytic Behavior of CoNiFeO in Alkaline Medium.

Catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) play an important role in the conversion of solar energy to fuel of earth-abundant water into H and O through splitting/electrolysis. Heterogeneous electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) exhibit catalytic activity that depends on the electronic properties, oxidation states, and local surface structure. Spinel ferrites (MFeO; M = Ni and Co) based materials have been attractive for the catalytic water oxidation due to their well-known stability in alkaline medium, easy synthesis, existence of metal cations with various oxidation states, low cost, and tunable properties by the desired metal substitution.
