Synthesis of chitosan mediated nanoparticles and its antimicrobial activity
Abstract: In this study, chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized from chitosan polymer by ionic gelation method. The chitin was first extracted from crab shell and then deacetylated to chitosan. The presence and characterization of chitosan nanoparticles was investigated by UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antimicrobial property of these chitosan nanoparticles were studied against E.coli, S.aureus, S.typhi, P.aureginosa, C.albicans and A.niger and compare with chitosan polymer.

Reinvigorating the Ipseity of Historic Town: Savanur, Karnataka Student’s Perspective Resilient Urban Morphology
Abstract: Urban insert is not simply a passive reaction to change. Kevin lynch defines the expression of sensing the place through five factors that contributes towards making of a city. The exercise of documenting first expressions of a town from people point of view which not initiated into lynch theories would be a good assertion of whether and how the theory holds good for traditional Indian towns. This study focuses on …
