The Effect of Substituents and Solvents on the Deiodination Reactions of Thyroid Hormones by Iodothyronine Deiodinase Mimics
(2017-12-07)Thyroid hormones (THs; T4 and T3), secreted from thyroid gland, play an important role in human growth and development. T3 (3,5,3′-triiodothyronine) is the active hormone and the conversion of T4 (3,3′,5,5′-tetraiodothyronine) ... -
Effect of Surface Texture on Friction under Dry Reciprocating Contacts
Surface texture has been successfully used in many fields to improve the performance of surfaces, in applications like drag reduction, control of wettability, and enhancement of heat transfer. In tribology, surface texture ... -
Effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties in a β and a β rich α+β titanium alloy
Near β and metastable β-titanium alloys are difficult to process due to narrow processing window. Lower processing temperature causes difficulty in recrystallization of these alloys especially in the two phase conditions, ... -
Effect of Thermomechanical Processing on Microstructure And Microtexture Evolution in Titanium Alloys
(2017-09-26)The properties of titanium alloys are based on alloy compositions and microstructures that consist of mixtures of the two allotropic modifications of titanium, the low temperature α (hcp) and the high temperature β (bcc) ... -
Effect of Ultrasound on Neuronal Network Communication
(2018-05-22)Low intensity and low frequency ultrasound has been shown to modulate ion channel currents, membrane capacitive currents, and as a result, neuronal activity. Ultrasound has been used as a non-invasive way to modulate ... -
Effect of urbanisation & population density on groundwater in India using satellite remote sensing data
This work investigates the relationship of urbanization, population density and meteorological variables (temperature & precipitation) on groundwater storage for the selected study regions in India. Variations in ... -
The Effect Of Viscosity On The Erosion Of Gradient- Zone In A Laboratory Solar Pond
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)Double diffusive phenomena occur in many natural systems and in a variety of engineering applications, such as solar ponds. In a solar pond, the erosion of gradient zone due to convection and diffusion is the main cause ... -
Effective Automatic Computation Placement and Data Allocation for Parallelization of Regular Programs
(2018-02-15)Scientific applications that operate on large data sets require huge amount of computation power and memory. These applications are typically run on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems that consist of multiple compute ... -
Effective Characterization of Sequence Data through Frequent Episodes
(2018-08-14)Pattern discovery is an important area of data mining referring to a class of techniques designed for the extraction of interesting patterns from the data. A pattern is some kind of a local structure that captures correlations ... -
Effective Property Estimation of Carbon Composites using Micromechanical Modeling
(2018-02-28)In recent times, composite materials have gained mainstay acceptance as a structural material of choice due to their tailorability and improved thermal, specific strength/stiffness and durability performance. Carbon-Carbon ... -
The Effectiveness of Technology Business Incubation: An Empirical Analysis in the Indian Context
Entrepreneurship is key to drive innovation, create wealth and jobs in any economy. Entrepreneurial startups hold the promise of high growth, yet they encounter high failure rates due to uncertainties, particularly in ... -
Effects of 3d Morphological Characteristics of Sand on Multi-scale Intergranular and Sand-geosynthetic Interactions
To understand the process of mobilization of shear strength in sands and sand-geosynthetic interfaces at a fundamental level, it is essential to precisely characterize the size and shape of the grains and the shear-induced ... -
Effects of aerosols and atmospheric boundary layer dynamics on refractive index fluctuations: implications for Free-Space Optical communication
Laser communication through atmospheric channels is an emerging wireless technology, commonly known as Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication. It facilitates unprecedented channel capacity and very large bandwidth, favouring ... -
Effects of Arctic Geoengineering on Precipitation in the Tropical Monsoon Regions
(2018-06-14)Arctic geoengineering wherein sunlight absorption is reduced only in the Arctic has been suggested as a remedial measure to counteract the on-going rapid climate change in the Arctic. Several modelling studies have shown ... -
