Absorption Flow-Cytometry for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
(2018-05-25)Medical devices are used widely at every stage of disease diagnosis and treatment. To eradicate certain infectious diseases, the development of highly sensitive diagnostic tools and techniques is essential. The work reported ... -
AGN Feedback in Galaxy Clisters - Controlling Cooling Flows in Galaxy Clusters by Momentum-driven AGN Jets
Synopsis According to the hierarchical structure formation model, massive structures like galaxy clusters are formed due to the gravitational collapse of initial density perturbations and their subsequent mergers. ... -
Analytic Models, Dilations, Wandering Subspaces and Inner Functions
This thesis concerns dilation theory, analytic models, joint invariant subspaces, reproducing kernelHilbert spaces and multipliers associated to commuting tuples of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces. The main ... -
Aspects of Higher Spin Theories Conformal Field Theories and Holography
(2018-05-30)This dissertation consist of three parts. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the study of gravity and higher spin gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We construct cosmological so-lutions of higher spin gravity in 2+1 ... -
Automation of Microscopic Tests for Cyto-diagnostics Using Custom-built Slide Scanner
(2017-10-11)Optical microscopy is the simplest and the gold standard method adopted for the screening and subsequent diagnosis of various hematological and infectious diseases like malaria, sickle cell disease, tuberculosis etc. In ... -
Central and Peripheral Correlates of Motor Planning
(2018-02-11)A hallmark of human behaviour is that we can either couple or decouple our thoughts, decision and motor plans from actions. Previous studies have reported evidence of gating of information between intention and action that ... -
Computation of Sparse Representations of High Dimensional Time Series Data and Experimental Applications
Obtaining a sparse representation of high dimensional data is often the first step towards its further analysis. Conventional Vector Autoregressive (VAR) modelling methods applied to such data results in noisy, non-sparse ... -
Computational Studies on Structures and Functions of Single and Multi-domain Proteins
(2018-05-25)Proteins are essential for the growth, survival and maintenance of the cell. Understanding the functional roles of proteins helps to decipher the working of macromolecular assemblies and cellular machinery of living ... -
Conformal Bootstrap : Old and New
(2018-05-25)Conformal Field Theories (CFT) are Quantum Field Theories characterized by enhanced (conformal) symmetries. They are interesting to Theoretical Physicists because they occur at critical points in phase transitions of various ... -
Coupled Optical and Electrochemical Properties of ZnCo2O4 for Radiation Sensitive Supercapacitor : An Approach Towards Self-powered Photosensitive Energy Storage
Recently, the fields of energy conversion and storage have drawn great interests in the research community due to the wide range of practical applications in the society. Among them, photodetector (PD) and supercapacitor ... -
Design of a Vortex Tube based Refrigeration System
(2018-03-15)Vortex tube (VT) is a mechanical device with no moving parts. The fundamental principle of Vortex Tube is that it can split an incoming fluid flow of a constant pressure and constant temperature gas stream into two separate ... -
Design, Fabrication and Characterization of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Based MEMS Gas Sensors for Carbon Monoxide Detection
In recent years, intense efforts have been made towards the development of miniaturized gas-sensing devices for hazardous gas detection. Carbon monoxide, which is a result of incomplete combustion, is a colourless, odourless, ... -

Deterministic Two Stage Clonal Expansion Model of Breast Cancer Epidemiology and its Utility for Optimal Screening Policies in India
Breast cancer (BC) has emerged as public health issue in India in last two decades sur-passing cervix cancer. Mortality from breast cancer is 30-40% higher than maternal causes. Breast cancer 5 year survival rates are ... -
Direct and Indirect Search for New Physics at Colliders
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been remarkably successful to describe strong, weak and electromagnetic forces of nature, as it has agreed with most of the experiments till date. However, there are still ... -
Dynamic Flow Rules in Continuum Visco-plasticity and Damage Models for Poly-crystalline Solids
Modelling highly non-linear, strongly temperature- and rate-dependent visco-plastic behaviour of poly-crystalline solids (e.g., metals and metallic alloys) is one of the most challenging topics of contemporary research ... -
Dynamical Imprint of Dark Matter Halo and Interstellar Gas on Spiral Structure in Disk Galaxies
(2018-08-29)The topic of this thesis deals with the spiral structure in disk galaxies with a specific aim of probing the influence of the dark matter halo and the interstellar gas on the origin and longevity of the spiral arms in ... -
