In this thesis, we study certain aspects of the geometry of the Kobayashi (pseudo)distance and the Kobayashi (pseudo)metric for domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We focus on the following themes: on the interaction between Kobayashi ...

In certain mRNAs ribosomes continue translation beyond the canonical stop codon to generate longer isoform with a C-terminal extension. This phenomenon is termed stop codon readthrough (SCR). Previously, a genome-wide ...

A bounded operator T on a complex separable Hilbert space is said to be homogeneous if '(T ) is unitarily equivalent to T for all ' in M•ob, where M•ob is the M•obius group. A complete description of all homogeneous weighted ...

This thesis is devoted to the study of the asymptotic behavior of partial differential equations (PDEs) and associated boundary and interior optimal control problems in various oscillatory domains. The present thesis ...

Theory of homogenization in Partial Differential Equations has a variety of applications in many branches of science. In the present thesis, we study the homogenization of certain boundary value problems in a periodically ...

Secure Multi-Party Computation for small population has witnessed notable practically-efficient works in the setting of both honest majority and dishonest majority. While honest majority provides the promise of stronger ...

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus is the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE). The disease affects mostly children and around 30000– 50000 cases of JE and up to 15000 deaths are reported ...

Autoimmune diseases can potentially pre-dispose an individual to infections. On the other hand, infections can trigger, exacerbate or ameliorate autoimmunity. Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic ...

Chapter 1: Introductionn Staphylococci are gram positive rotund bacteria that grow in clusters; and hence get their name. The genus of Staphylococcus comprises of over 30 species of which S. epidermidis and S.aureus are ...
