One of the major outcomes of a genome sequencing project is the availability of amino acid sequences of all the proteins encoded in the genome of the organism concerned. However, most commonly, for a substantial proportion ...

This thesis focuses on understanding the behaviour of the residual error estimator, referred to as R- parameter, in the context of Finite Volume Method. R-parameter measures the local truncation error (LTE) which is generated ...

Despite the discovery of the first agglutinin in 1888, lectins remained in obscurity until the late 1940s, when it was shown that certain lectins were specific for human blood group antigens. The fact that sugars determine ...

The thesis deals with the numerical modeling of nonreactive and nonlinearly sorbing solutes in groundwater and analysis of the effect of heterogeneity resulting from spatial variation of physical and chemical parameters ...

There are various energy dissipation mechanisms that affect the dynamic response of microstructures used in MEMS devices. A cumulative effect of such losses is captured by an important characteristic of the structure called ...

Screw conveyors are widely employed in industry for the bulk transport of particulate materials. Several studies have attempted to correlate the discharge rate with the rotation speed of the screw via experiments and ...

The increasing global average ambient temperatures coupled with stringent environmental regulations has turned the focus on natural working fluids such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrocarbons for use in the refrigeration ...
