Mechanistic Investigation of Metal Promoted Nucleophilic Additions
(2017-11-30)Nucleophilic additions are an important class of reactions in the preparation of several organic compounds. Metals facilitate nucleophilic additions in many cases. The present work Mechanistic Investigation of Metal Promoted ... -
Mechanistic Studies of Transfer Hydrogenation Catalyzed by Ru(ll)-Half-Sandwich and Group 6 NHC complexes
The thesis explores the mechanistic aspects of transfer hydrogenation of ketones and hydrosilylation of imines; two commonly used organic transformations catalyzed by ruthenium half-sandwich complexes of 2-oxazolidinethiones, ... -
Mechanistic Understanding of Growth and Directed Assembly of Nanomaterials
(2018-06-11)When materials approach the size of few nanometers, they show properties which are significantly different from their bulk counterpart. Such unique/improved properties make them potential candidate for several emerging ... -
Mechanistic Understanding of Organic Solar Cells: A Detailed Investigation on Role of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer, Dielectric Constant and Exciton Dynamics
Organic solar cells (OSC) have been emerging as promising energy harvesting technology because of their low-cost fabrication, semitransparency, solution processability and ability to be produced in large scale using ... -
Mechanobiology of cell-substrate interactions
Cell adhesion to substrates is a complex process facilitated by focal adhesion (FA) complexes that help them perform vital cellular functions like migration, growth, and division. Cells probe their surroundings through ... -
Medium Index Contrast Guided Mode Resonant Structures for Photonic Applications in the Visible-Near Infrared Wavelength Regime
Guided mode resonant (GMR) structures are interesting from the point of view of enhanced light-matter interaction and find applications in sensing, filtering, and miniaturized photonic components. The Guided mode resonance ... -
A Memory Allocation Framework for Optimizing Power Consumption and Controlling Fragmentation
(2018-07-20)Large physical memory modules are necessary to meet performance demands of today's ap- plications but can be a major bottleneck in terms of power consumption during idle periods or when systems are running with workloads ... -
Memory Efficient Regular Expression Pattern Matching Architecture For Network Intrusion Detection Systems
(2014-06-05)The rampant growth of the Internet has been coupled with an equivalent growth in cyber crime over the Internet. With our increased reliance on the Internet for commerce, social networking, information acquisition, and ... -
Mesonic screening mass at zero and finite chemical potential
The finite temperature analysis of QCD is challenging since perturbation theory is not applicable in that regime. A non-perturbative method like lattice QCD is thus required to obtain an estimate of the necessary observables. ... -
Mesophases Of Active Matter : Translational Order, Critical Rheology And Electrostatics
(2016-04-26)This thesis consists of research work in the broad area of soft condensed matter theory with a focus on active matter. The study of long wavelength, low frequency collective behavior of active particles (bacterial suspensions, ... -
Mesoproterozoic Suturing Of Archean Crustal Blocks In Western Peninsular India : New Insights On India-Madagascar Correlations
(2017-08-21)The structural lineament mapping of southern India along withgeological, geochronological datasets help in redefining the Precambrian crustal blocks.The newly proposed Kumta and Mercara suture zones welding Archean crustal ... -
Mesoscale Modelling of sheared lamellar mesophases
The lamellar phase or smectic lyotropic liquid crystalline medium, which is made up of alternating flat sheets of water and surfactant bilayers shearing past each other in an imposed flow. Surprisingly, In practical ... -
Mesoscale Turbulence on the Ocean Surface from Satellite Altimetry
(2018-06-26)The dynamics captured in the ocean surface current data provided by satellite altimetry has been a subject of debate since the past decade. In particular, the contribution of surface and interior dynamics to altimetry ... -
Mesoscopic Heat engines beyond the Limits of Thermodynamics
Despite the central role that Equilibrium thermodynamics has played in our understanding of many body systems, the underlying theoretical construct is strictly correct only in the ‘Thermodynamic Limit’. On the other hand, ... -
Metabolic Adaptation For Utilization Of Short-Chain Fatty Acids In Salmonella Typhimurium : Structural And Functional Studies On 2-methylcitrate Synthase, Acetate And Propionate Kinases
