Engineering the N-Glycosylation Pathway in Pichia Pastoris for the Expression of Glycoprotein Hormones
(2018-01-15)Proteins, participating in a myriad of biological function, are at the core of all cellular activities occurring within living organisms. Therapeutic proteins, hence constitute a major part of the pharmaceutical industry. ... -
Engineering the Properties of Elemental 2D Materials using First-principles Calculations
(2017-12-13)Our vision is as yet unsurpassed by machines because of the sophisticated representations of objects in our brains. This representation is vastly different from a pixel-based representation used in machine storages. It is ... -
Engineering three-dimensional hydrogel culture systems to delineate host-pathogen interaction in tuberculosis
Full text embargo up to 25/5/2026 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an obligate human pathogen, spreads through aerosols to the lung alveoli, where alveolar macrophages engulf it. These macrophages then migrate to the ... -
Engineering topological surface states through structural control, electrostatic gating and superconducting proximity effects
Three dimensional topological insulators are materials characterized by a gapped insulating bulk and gapless metallic states on the sample surface. This unique be- havior arises out of the non-trivial topology of the ... -
Engineering van der Waals Heterojunctions for Electronic and Optoelectronic Device Applications
Efficient preparation and characterization of layered materials and their van der Waals heterojunctions lay the foundation for various opportunities in both fundamental studies and device applications. The vast library ... -
Engineering Weyl and Dirac Fermions in Transition Metal Perovskites
The emergence of topological materials has fundamentally altered the landscape of condensed matter physics, introducing phases of matter defined by the topological properties of their electronic wavefunctions. A particularly ... -
Enhanced neural networks architectures for pattern classification
The thesis deals with the problem of pattern classification for which new algorithms using three different neural network models have been proposed: (i) Recursive (ii) Feedforward; and (iii) Self-Organizing Networks. These ... -
Enhancement in corrosion resistance of selected high entropy alloys by incorporation of carbon nanotubes
High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable structural and functional properties. HEAs generally contain 5–13 principal elements with the concentrations of each component lying ... -
