Abstract: An approach is provided for facilitating a virtual competition for content creation and an effective UI for presenting content in an organized manner. The approach involves receiving, via a user device, a first content including execution of a first activity, wherein the first content is to be presented in a first arrangement. The approach also involves receiving, via another user device, a second content including execution of a second activity. The approach further involves determining that the first activity and the second activity are a common activity, and determining a score of the first activity and the second activity based on feedback from a plurality of users. The approach also involves ranking the first content and the second content based on a determined score. The approach further involves organizing the first content and the second content for presentation in a second arrangement based on the ranking.

Abstract: A gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticle, method of making thereof, and method of using thereof is disclosed. The nanoparticle is substantially toxin free (making it clinically applicable), easily functionalized, and can serve as a contrast agent for a number of imaging techniques, including imaging a subject in at least two distinct imaging modes. Further, the nanoparticle is well-suited for therapeutic uses.
