Modeling Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission and Infection
(2018-05-21)
HIV-1 is a global pandemic with about 39 million people infected. In India, 2.9 million people are infected and about 2 lakh new infections have been reported last year. To date, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. Current ...
Development And Validation Of Two-Dimensional Mathematical Model Of Boron Carbide Manufacturing Process
(2009-03-06)
Boron carbide is produced in a heat resistance furnace using boric oxide and petroleum coke as the raw materials. In this process, a large current is passed through the graphite rod located at the center of the cylindrical ...
Modeling and Experimental Investigations into Soluble Lead Redox Flow Battery : New Mechanisms
(2018-05-14)
Continued emission of green house gases has energized research activity worldwide to develop efficient ways to harness renewal energy. The availability of large scale energy storage technologies is essential to make renewal ...
Swelling and Dye Adsorption Characteristics of Superabsorbent Polymers
(2018-07-18)
In the current study, SAPs of cationic monomer [2 - (Methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride have been prepared by free radical solution polymerisation with different crosslinkers. They were subjected to repeated ...
Multi-scale Modelling of Lamellar Mesophases
(2018-05-25)
Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble at the interface in oil-water-surfactant mixtures such that the hydrophobic part, called tail, stays in oil and the remaining part, called head, resides in hydrophilic ...
Structure And Dynamics Of Interfacial And Confined Water
(2011-03-28)
Understanding the structure and dynamics of molecularly thin films or the state of water confined to nanoscale dimensions is an active field of research and has wide applications in areas ranging from biology to geology. ...
Particle Dynamics In A Turbulent Particle-Gas Suspension At High Stokes Number
(2010-12-08)
Particle laden turbulent flows find applications in many industrial processes such as energy conversion, air pollution control etc. In these types of flows, there are strong coupling between the turbulent fluctuations in ...
Analysis Of Dense Sheared Granular Flows
(2011-01-27)
A granular material is a collection of discrete, solid particles of macroscopic size dispersed in an interstitial fluid, in which the fluid has an insignificant effect on the particle dynamics. Because they exhibit fascinating ...
Investigations Of Polymer Grafted Lipid Bilayers Using Dissipative Particle Dynamics
(2011-01-25)
Lipid molecules are amphiphilic in nature consisting of a hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails. The lipid bilayer consists of two layers of lipid molecules arranged with their hydrophobic tails facing ...
Molecular Analysis of the Pore Forming Mechanism of an α-Helical Cytolysin
Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are lytic membrane binding proteins that are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom and disrupt the structural integrity of the host cell membrane. A unique characteristic of these toxins is that ...
