The Role of Initiation Factor 3 : Insights from E. Coli, Mitochondria and Mycoplasma
(2018-01-07)The process of translation initiation is the most highly regulated step of protein synthesis. In bacteria, three initiation factors (IF1, IF2 and IF3) play crucial roles during initiation. IF3 acts as an anti-association ... -
Role of Lactate and TREK1 Channels in Neuroprotection during Cerebral Ischemia – in Vitro Study in Rat Hippocampus
(2017-12-16)Cerebral ischemia is a highly debilitating condition where shortage of oxygen and glucose leads to profuse cell death. Insufficient blood supply to the brain leads to cerebral ischemia and increase in extracellular lactate ... -
Role of SIRT6 in Myofibroblast Cell Death
(2018-01-10)Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality. A common denominator across most of the cardiovascular diseases like diabetic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction and dilated ... -
Role of the ELONGATED GYNOPHORE/ELONGATA2 Protein in Fruit and Root Development in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2018-06-23)In order to identify new players in fruit development, a forward genetic screen was performed on EMS mutagenized plants. A mutant named elongated gynophore (egy) was identified in the M2 population based on altered fruit ... -
Ru (II)-Catalyzed C−H Activation: Amide-Directed 1,4-Addition of Ortho C−H Bond to Maleimides
Transition metal catalyzed functionalization of C-H bond to C-C bond is advantageous and atom economical. The use of directing groups is intended to overcome the challenges associated with the C-H activation such as low ... -
Schemes for Smooth Discretization And Inverse Problems - Case Study on Recovery of Tsunami Source Parameters
(2017-10-17)This thesis deals with smooth discretization schemes and inverse problems, the former used in efficient yet accurate numerical solutions to forward models required in turn to solve inverse problems. The aims of the thesis ... -
Seat Allocation And Pricing in a Duopoly in The Airline Industry
(2017-10-18)Revenue Management (RM) is the practice of managing perishable assets by control-ling their availability and/or prices with an objective to maximize the total revenue. Seat inventory allocation falls in the purview of ... -
Secondary Structures in Proteins : Identification and Analyses
(2018-07-12)Proteins are large biomolecules consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. They perform a vast array of functions within living organisms. In this thesis, we present analyses of different secondary ... -
Securing Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip
(2016)With Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chips (MPSoCs) pervading our lives, security issues are emerging as a serious problem and attacks against these systems are becoming more critical and sophisticated. We have designed and ... -
Seismic Site Response Evaluation Using Ambient Vibrations And Earthquakes : Applications in Active And Vulnerable Regions with Emphasis on the 2001 Bhuj (India) Earthquake
(2017-09-26)Local site conditions are known to influence ground motion during earthquake events and increase the severity of damage. Data from earthquakes are useful to study the response but they are available only from active regions. ... -
Semiotic Studies on Holistic Order in Product Design
(2018-02-16)‘Holistic Order’ is a new term used in this study. In literature, its synonyms such as beauty, order, visual order, and aesthetic order have been in usage for a long time. Historical studies on arts & crafts from philosophical ... -
Sequence And Structural Determinants of Helices in Membrane Proteins
(2017-09-23)Membrane proteins roughly constitute 30% of open reading frames in a genome and form 70% of current drug targets. They are classified as integral, peripheral membrane proteins and polypeptide toxins. α-helices and β -strands ... -
Shear Behaviour of Sand-geosynthetic Interfaces Based on Size And Morphology of Sand Particles and Surface Roughness of Geosynthetics
(2018-01-01)Geosynthetics are used in conjunction with soil/particulate materials to serve various functions like reinforcement, drainage, filtration and containment. The shear behavior of soil-geosynthetic interfaces hugely depends ... -
Similarity between Scalar Fields
(2017-10-05)Scientific phenomena are often studied through collections of related scalar fields such as data generated by simulation experiments that are parameter or time dependent . Exploration of such data requires robust measures ... -
Simulation and Study of Noise Generated due to Turbulent Boundary Layer in Towed Hydrophone Array
In this thesis, a wave propagation based analytical model is developed for an underwater towed array. The towed array is modeled as an in finite tube filled with a certain liquid and submerged in an in finite volume of ... -
Solvent Effects on Photochemistry and Photophysics of Aromatic Carbonyls : A Raman and Computational study
(2017-12-16)Solvent effects play diverse roles in myriads of chemical, physical and biological processes. The solvent interacts with the solute by: i) non-specific (Coulombic, van der Waals interactions) and ii) specific interactions ... -
Space-Time Evolution of the Intraseasonal Variability in the Indian Summer Monsoon and its Association with Extreme Rainfall Events : Observations and GCM Simulations
(2018-03-01)In this thesis, we investigated modes of intraseasonal variability (ISV) observed in the Indian monsoon rainfall and how these modes modulate rainfall over India. We identified a decreasing trend in the intensity of ... -
