Molecular Simulation Studies of Competing Pathways in Crystal Nucleation
Microscopic nature of nuclei and extremely fast nucleation events makes it difficult to study nucleation experimentally. Route to nucleation can be effected by different parameters such as thermodynamic conditions, uid ... -
Molecular Simulation Study of Electric Double Layer Capacitor With Aqueous Electrolytes
(2018-05-22)Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are an important class of electrical energy storage devices which store energy in the form of electric double layers. The charging mechanism is highly reversible physical adsorption ... -
Molecular Simulations Of Temperature Induced Disorder And Pressure Induced Ordering In Organic Molecular Crystals
(2007-09-05)Crystallographically solids with well defined crystal structures are normally assumed to be highly ordered. However, it is not uncommon to find considerable degree of disorder amongst many of these crystalline substances. ... -
A molecular systems approach to unravel mechanisms and targets in antifolate-resistant bacteria and cancers
Antifolates such as trimethoprim (TMP) and methotrexate (MTX) widely used for treating bacterial infections and certain cancers respectively, inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in the folate pathway. However, the use ... -
Molecular Transport in Polyelectrolyte Multilayers
(2018-06-26)Layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes is a simple technique based on the self-assembly of polycations and polyanions mainly by electrostatic interactions, which has gained considerable scientific interest for its ... -
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers Based On Fluorescent And Template Binding Cross-Linker
(2013-05-23)The synthesis of materials with molecular recognition properties has become a topic of great technological and scientific interest. Molecular imprinting is one of the most effective strategies in preparing highly selective ... -
Molten-salt Synthesis Of Nanocrystalline Strontium Antimony Manganese Oxide (Sr2SbMnO6) : A Gaint Dielectric Constant Material
(2010-12-03)High dielectric constant materials are of technological importance as they lead to the miniaturization of the electronic devices. For instance, in the case of memory devices based on capacitive components, such as static ... -
Momentum And Enthalpy Transfer In Packed Beds - Experimental Evaluation For Unsteady Inlet Temperature At High Reynolds Numbers
(2013-06-10)Solid propellant gas generators that have high gas capacity are used for fast pressurization of inflatable devices or elastic shells. However, many applications such as control surface actuation, air bottle pressurization ... -
Monitoring and Control of Intermittent Water Distribution Network
Millions of people in low and middle-income countries worldwide receive water only for a small fraction of the time in a day through piped networks. Even though the percentage of the world’s population with access to piped ... -
Monodisperse Gold Nanoparticles : Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Fabrication of Floating Gate Memory Devices
(2018-04-23)The emergence of novel electronic, optical and magnetic properties in ordered two-dimensional (2D) nanoparticle ensembles, due to collective dipolar interactions of surface plasmons or excitons or magnetic moments have ... -
A Monolithic Finite Element Formulation for Magnetohydrodynamics Involving a Compressible Fluid
This work develops a new monolithic finite-element-based strategy for Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) involving a compressible fluid based on a continuous velocity-pressure formulation. The entire formula- tion is within a ... -
Monte Carlo Simulation Based Response Estimation and Model Updating in Nonlinear Random Vibrations
(2018-02-22)The study of randomly excited nonlinear dynamical systems forms the focus of this thesis. We discuss two classes of problems: first, the characterization of nonlinear random response of the system before it comes into ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of Electric Double Layer Capacitors with aqueous electrolytes
Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) also known as supercapacitors are a category of energy storage devices that are known for their remarkable power delivery (upto 1000KW/kg). The energy storage is through physical ... -
Monte Carlo Simulations with Variance Reduction for Structural Reliability Modeling, Updating and Testing
(2018-04-24)Monte Carlo simulation techniques have emerged as widely accepted computing tools in tackling many problems in modern structural mechanics. Apart from developments in computational hardware, which have undoubtedly made ... -
Moonlighting Functions of the Rv0805 Phosphodiesterase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-18)All organisms must sense and respond to their environment in order to survive. The processes that allow a living cell to sense changes in its environment, and respond appropriately are collectively referred to as ‘signal ... -
Morphological Perspectives of Sand Liquefaction and its Mitigation
Liquefaction of soils under seismic conditions has profound implications for infrastructure resilience in earthquake-prone regions. Saturated loose cohesionless granular soils have the tendency to readily lose grain contacts ... -
Morphology and topology of cosmological fields during the Epoch of Reionization
In this thesis we have introduced a real space morphological tool, Contour Minkowski tensor (CMT) to analyse the 21cm brightness temperature field from EoR. We showed that the size and shape information of structures ...
