Environmental Behaviour of Indian ICT consumers in the context of e-waste: An Exploratory Study
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) or simply, electronic waste (e-waste), is a rather recent addition to the waste landscape. Nevertheless, growing incomes and rapid technological advancement has turned e-waste ... -
Enzymatic synthesis of esters in supercritical fluids
Lipases are enzymes that are widely used to catalyze a variety of industrially important reactions. However, lipase?catalyzed reactions are heterogeneous and mass?transfer limited. Therefore, in most cases the reaction ... -
Enzymatically Combating Biofilm Associated Microbial Infections: Towards Next-Gen Enzyme-Based Therapeutics
Bacteria employ various defense mechanisms, one of the most significant being forming biofilms─structured communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. The widespread ... -
Epigenetic modulation of Foam cell generation during Mycobacterium tuberculosis/ Cryptococcus neoformans infection
Foamy macrophages or Foam cells are a critical cellular component of the granuloma formed during pulmonary infection. These lipid rich cells generally contain neutral lipids, Cholesteryl Esters (CE) and/or Triglycerides ... -
Epigenetic Modulators of Glioma : From miRNAs to Chromatin Modifiers
(2018-02-20)The glial cells of the brain and the peripheral nervous system retain the capacity to divide and proliferate throughout the lifespan of an individual and thereby have the propensity to give rise to the most adult neurological ... -
Epigenetic Regulators Of Development In The Social Amoeba Dictyostellium Discoideum : The Roles Played By Histone Deacetylases And Heat Shock Protein 90
(2011-01-20)The major evolutionary transition from single-celled to multicellular life is believed to have occurred independently of the main metazoan lineages in the cellular slime moulds, of which Dictyostelium discoideum is the ... -
Epigenetic repression of stemness genes by the TCP/KNOX-II transcription factors in simple leaf development of Arabidopsis
Leaves are initiated as primordia at the flanks of the shoot apical meristem. Primordia in the simple-leaved species such as Arabidopsis produce single lamina, whereas those in compound-leaved species such as tomato ... -
Epileptiform Activity Induced Alterations In Ca2+ Dynamics And Network Physiology Of Hippocampal Neurons - In Vitro Studies
(2010-07-15)Epilepsy is characterized by the hyperexcitability of individual neurons and hyper synchronization of groups of neurons (networks). The acquired changes that take place at molecular, cellular and network levels are important ... -
Epistasis Detection and Phenotype Prediction in GWAS Using Machine Learning Methods
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to find the association between genetic variants, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), and phenotypic traits or diseases in a population. The number of GWAS has increased ... -
Epitaxial Integration Of Functional Oxides On Silicon (100)
Epitaxial integration of BaTiO3 (BTO) and other functional oxides with (100) Si is essential to exploit their functional capabilities using the well-established Si-CMOS technological platform. However, such oxide integration ... -
Epitaxial Nonpolar III-Nitrides by Plasma-Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy
(2018-08-09)The popularity of III-nitride materials has taken up the semiconductor industry to newer applications because of their remarkable properties. In addition to having a direct and wide band gap of 3.4 eV, a very fascinating ... -
Epitaxial Perovskite Superlattices For Voltage Tunable Device Applications
(2013-10-03)Perovskite based artificial superlattices has recently been extensively investigated due to the immense promise in various device applications. The major applications include non-volatile random access memories, microwave ... -
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cellular cooperation in cancer progression: Novel roles for AMPK
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program hijacked by cancer cells to facilitate metastasis —a multi-step process involving the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor site and culminating ... -
EPR study of the phase transitions in LIKSO4 and certain similar salts.
This thesis represents basically an attempt to investigate the low temperature phase transitions of LiKSO^ (LKS) through Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). There have been of course umpteen publications on the ... -
Equalization Algorithms And Performance Analysis In Cyclic-Prefixed Single Carrier And Multicarrier Wireless Systems
(2014-05-21)The work reported in this thesis is divided in to two parts. In the first part, we report a closed-form bit error rate (BER) performance analysis of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) on the uplink in ... -
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics of dense liquids
Dense liquids do many interesting things: they freeze into crystals, and sometimes get trapped into glassy states along the way. Their behaviour becomes more unusual when they are driven far away from equilibrium, for ... -
Equivalence test for the trace iterated matrix multiplication polynomial
An m-variate polynomial f is affine equivalent to an n-variate polynomial g if m > n and there is a full rank n * m matrix A and a n-dimensional vector b such that f(x) = g(Ax + b). Given blackbox access to f and g (i.e ... -
Equivalent Circuit Analyses and Methods to Enhance Bandwidth of Klystron Reentrant Cavities
Klystron is used as an amplifier at microwave frequency range. Klystrons use cylindrical or rectangular reentrant cavities in their interaction structure. Characteristics of reentrant cavity can be defined using parameters ... -
Erasure Codes for Distributed Storage: Tight Bounds and Matching Constructions
The reliable storage of Big Data across a spatially distributed network of nodes, calls for erasure-correcting codes that in addition to protecting against data loss, can also efficiently handle node repair. The need for ...
