Abstract: Strontium oxide (SrO) nanoparticle and various concentrations of chitosan (CS)-doped SrO nanocomposite were synthesized via co-precipitation method. A variety of characterization techniques including were done for characterizing and qualifying the nanocomposite. X-ray powder diffraction affirmed cubic and tetragonal structure of SrO nanoparticle and CS-doped SrO nanocomposite with a decrease in crystallinity upon doping. Fourier transform infrared spectrum endorsed existing functional groups on CS/SrO surfaces while d-spacing was estimated using high resolution Transmission electron microscopes images. UV-Visible and Photoluminescence spectroscopy spectra showed an increase in band gap energies with an increase in doping concentration. Elemental composition of CS-doped SrO nanocomposite deposited with different doping concentrations was studied using Energy dispersive Spectroscopy.

Abstract: CS-doped SrO nanocomposite were successfully synthesized through co-precipitation route for bactericidal activities. Effect of CS doping on morphological features, optical properties, elemental composition and phase constitution on CS-doped SrO nanocomposite was analyzed. XRD analysis confirmed tetragonal and cubic structures of SrO nanoparticles and CS-doped SrO nanocomposite. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to obtain 4.19 eV of SrO nanoparticles while emission spectra of doped SrO showed blueshift upon CS doping with multi-concentration. Interlayer d-spacing attained from HRTEM micrographs well matched with XRD d-spacing. Purity content of prepared nanostructures was measured with EDS analysis. Overall, 0.06:1 showed significant antibacterial activity against both Gram +ve and -ve bacterial isolates. Thus, CS-doped SrO nanocomposite can be used in modem medicine as an alternative antibacterial to overcome the development of resistance to antibiotics.

Abstract: Large and complex data sets can be difficult to view on devices with small screens, such as on smartphones, or in small windows on devices with large screens. The presently disclosed systems, methods and apparatus can determine characteristics associated with a display used to display a requested resource. Based on these determined characteristics, the systems and methods can determine whether the requested resource should be reformatted to fit the display. The requested resource can be reformatted to allow a user to consume complex data on a small display easily and effectively. In some embodiments, this can be done by ensuring that the current data context, previously provided by row/column headers, are always in view in a compact format.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of storage of encoded blocks of files on user-equipment along with the datacenter. Files are coded on the user equipment and coded blocks are distributed among participating user end devices and the data center storage fabric. The storage of parts of file on the user equipment reduces the storage requirement at the data center and reconstruction at the user equipment releases the data center off the processing overhead. Similarly, North-South and East-West traffic is reduced since only a coded part of the file is transported to the data center unlike conventional data centers where entire files are stored on the data center. The invention reduces processing and storage overhead at the data center while reducing the amount of traffic generated for the data center.
