Aim: Objective of study was to evaluate the drug resistance pattern in various antibiotics with the biofilm-producing capability of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Methods: Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated for identification from total of 83 OPD and IPD patients by analysing colony morphology, microscopic examination, and performed biochemical testing. Antibiotics susceptibility Tests and biofilm-producing capacity was done by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and adherence quantitative assays. Chi-square test was used and P < 0.05 was measured as statistically significant. Results: Out of 83 isolates, 47 (56.6%) were Biofilm Producer and 36 (43.4%) were non-biofilm producers by tissue culture method, and tube method 62.7% and 37.3% respectively. Among biofilm producer and non-biofilm producer isolates, Klebsiella pneumoniae had the most Resistant to Ceftazidime (100%) & (61.0%), followed by Ceftriaxone (56.0%) & (95.7%) respectively. The association between biofilm and antibiotic resistance was checked to be statistically significant for aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, Cephalosporin’s, Imipenem, Meropenem, Amoxyclav, and Piperacillin Tazobactam. No resistance was observed against Colistin and Polymyxin B. Conclusion: The strain Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from different samples showed drug resistance to all broad-spectrum antibiotics whereas there is no drug resistance was found with narrow-spectrum drugs. This study supports the use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for most of infections.

At the current work, the substrate phenyl hydrazine reacted with selected thiophene-2-carbaldehyde in absolute ethanol and a few drops of glacial acetic acid to give 1-phenyl-2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)hydrazine (PTMH) as a selective and sensitive reagent. It was synthesized and studied to determine cobalt spectroscopy in the following detail: at a pH value of 6.0, which greatly increased the selectivity, Co(II) reacted with (PTMH) to form a 1:2 complexes, with absorption peaks at 386 nm for cobalt. Under the optimal conditions, Beers law was obeyed over the ranges of (0.14ـــ5.8) mg/L. The apparent molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivities were 7.1360×104 L.mol-1.cm-1, and 8.2585×10-4 µg.cm-2. The detection limits were found to be 0.0133 and the limit of quantification is 0.0466.

Published: August 2022

Image scene classification in the remotely sensed (RS) society is an interesting subject that aims to allocate land use / cover semantic information. A big amount of Convolutional neural classification models for RS images have been proposed by the authors due to the massive behaviour of CNNs in features extracted. Despite their impressive results, there are still opportunities for advancement. To begin, local characteristics are just as important as global ones in identifying RS images. The CNNs' hierarchical organizational structure and multidimensional suitable capabilities make them good at trying to capture spatial information [1]. It's not uncommon for the feature maps to be overlooked, moreover. First and foremost, the ranges among RS image pairs must be minimised or maximised in order to achieve satisfying classifier performance. Despite this, the importance of these focuses in classification tasks is undervalued. We propose a new CNN called focus high quality infrastructure (ACNet) depending on the Siamese network in the this paper to improve the robustness discussed previous section. [3]To begin, the input data for ACNet are the picture groups achieved through spatial rotation as a result of the network's the double framework.

Traffic sign detection is one of the critical technologies in the field of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The difficulty of traffic sign detection mainly lies in detecting small objects in a wide and complex traffic scene quickly and accurately. To develop an efficient traffic sign detection and recognition that can detect and categorize traffic signal into different classes in real-time with the help of Deep Learning techniques. In this project, regard traffic sign detection as a region classification problem and propose a two-stage R- CNN-based approach to solve it. To build a deep neural Network model that can classify traffic sign present in images into different categories. The training process takes predefined traffic signals and has them 'learn' into a model. With this model, people are able to read and understand traffic signs which are a very important task for all autonomous vehicles. A visual traffic sign recognition system can be integrated into the automobile with the objective of detecting and recognizing all emerging traffic signs. In case the driver refuses to heed traffic signs, the system will trigger an alarm.

Published: August 2022

Many cases of diarrhea are due to an infection in the gastrointestinal tract caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. This may be present alone or can be together with different symptoms, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, nausea and weight loss. There is an estimate of 2 billion cases of diarrhea disease globally that happens yearly. Also, approximately 1.9 million children globally below the age of 5 years die from diarrhea every year mostly in the developing countries making it the second leading cause of mortality in children of this age group. Recurring and regular diarrhea can affect growth of children and cognitive development and increase their vulnerability to different communicable diseases. About 89% of diarrhea related deaths are caused by insufficient hygiene, bad water, and inadequate sanitation. Major cause of diarrhea in children is Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) which is acquired through water and food that is contaminated. There are 6 main pathotypes:, diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), shiga toxin–producing E. coli (STEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), and enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC). Adherent invasive E. coli (AIEC) is is the new pathotype that has been recently reported. Biochemical tests, culture and modern methods like Polymerase Chain Reaction are the conventional techniques carried out in the identification of E. coli species. Preventive measures and treatment includes proper sanitation, improved hygeine, access to safe drinking-water, exclusive breastfeeding of the babies for the first 6 months of life, proper rehydration with oral rehydration salts (ORS) or intravenous fluids in case of shock, early hospitalization for children who are extremely malnourished, zinc supplementation, and in some circumstances, the use of antibiotics which should be implemented to reduce the burden of diarrhea among children.
