Etiopathology Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis : Role Of Areca Nut Constituents And Transforming Growth Factor-β Signalling
(2015-08-19)Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in progressive fibrosis of the oral tissues that can cause difficulty in chewing, swallowing, speaking, and mouth opening. Epidemiological studies ... -
Eutectic microstructures: Role of interfacial energy anisotropy and diffusivities
Eutectic alloys find a wide application in industrial cast alloys, solder alloys, and in the emerging field of functional materials. Apart from technological applications, multiphase eutectic alloys have also received keen ... -
Evaluating Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation Potential of Sustainable Urban Transport Measures in India
The global climate is transforming due to increased GHG emissions. Globally, the response to climate change has been through mitigation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Urban transportation is the second leading source ... -
Evaluating Geochemical Proxies for Paleoclimate Reconstruction in Tropical Montane Peat : A Case Study from the Nilgiris, Southern India
(2018-05-14)Peat from the temperate regions has been used for paleoenvironmental reconstruction using diverse proxies for over a century now. Peat is rare and severely understudied in the tropics. The montane peat bogs of the Nilgiris, ... -
Evaluating routine biochemical parameters for breast cancer detection in Indian women: A machine learning approach
Breast cancer stands as the leading cancer type among Indian women, with a mortality rate that surpasses that of nations such as the USA, Australia, and the UK. The higher mortality rate is largely explained by a lack of ... -
Evaluation Frameworks for Informed Multi-Site Multi-Variate Hydrological Assessment
The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ... -

(2017-10-11)Watson-Crick paired B-form DNA is the genetic material in most of the biological systems. Integrity of DNA is of utmost importance for the normal functioning of any organism. Various environmental factors, chemicals and ... -
An Evaluation of Basic Protection Mechanisms in Financial Apps on Mobile Devices
This thesis concerns the robustness of security checks in financial mobile applications (or simply financial apps). The best practices recommended by OWASP for developing such apps demand that developers include several ... -
Evaluation of Btex Contamination in Bengaluru Groundwater and Remediation of Contaminated Water Samples
BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers) are monoaromatic, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with single benzene ring and various degree of alkylation. US EPA classifies benzene and TEX (toluene, ethylbenzene, ... -
Evaluation of Cytogenotoxic Potential and Embryotoxicity of KRS Cauvery River Water in Zebrafish (Danio Rerio)
Pollutants and other forms of environmental stress (lifestyle and social behaviour) are of global concern due to significant adverse effects on human health. The term "exposome" has emerged as a concept in environmental ... -
Evaluation of Early Pathogenic Mechanisms of Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease
(2017-12-07)Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating, progressive neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly, characterized by severe loss of memory and higher cognitive functions. In the hundred years since its discovery, Alzheimer’s ... -
Evaluation of Hygrothermal Ageing In Cfrp Composite Material: A Study Using Non-destructive Techniques
Advanced composite materials are replacing conventional metals/alloys in aerospace industries due to their excellent strength and stiffness-to-density ratio as well as some other better physical and mechanical properties ... -
Evaluation of Low-stress High-temperature Creep: Insights into the Harper-dorn Creep
The theory of creep behavior of single crystals and polycrystalline materials having large grains at very low-stresses and at very high temperatures, as originally proposed by Harper and Dorn in 1957, has been under constant ... -
Evaluation of Power-Law Creep in Bending
Materials for engineering components operating at high temperatures during their service like rockets, aero-turbines, automobile engines, nuclear power plants, steam power plants and micro-electronics are often designed ... -
