Non-canonical functions of lymphoid-specific proteins AID and RAG1: Understanding mechanism, regulation, and implications in genomic instability
Recombination-activating genes (RAGs) and Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) are lymphoid cell-specific proteins that play crucial roles in the development of adaptive immunity. Diversification of the immune system ... -
Non-catalytic synthesis of biodiesel and solubilities of mixtures of lipid derivatives in supercritical fluids
The fossil fuels are depleting rapidly as the demand for energy and its allied chemicals is continuously increasing in the modern world. In addition, the concerns over climate change due to the greenhouse gases emitting ... -
Non-catalytic Synthesis of Biolubricant Esters and their Solubilities in Supercritical Fluids
Breakdown products released due to increased loss of mineral oil based lubricants to the environment lead to aquatic toxicity and release of harmful volatile compounds into the atmosphere. The production of these conventional ... -
A non-classical continuum approach to study the fragmentation of brittle solids
In this thesis, a non-local continuum approach coupled with the phase-field theory and Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state (EOS) is proposed to model and simulate blast-induced fracture in brittle materials. Also, ... -
Non-classical continuum models for solids using peridynamics and gauge theory
This thesis focuses on three areas of nonclassical continuum mechanics of solids. In the first part, we develop a few peridynamics (PD) models and solution strategies for discretized PD equations in the context of the ... -
Non-classical mechanics and thermodynamics for continuum modelling of solids
This thesis dwells upon several aspects of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics to model elastic and inelastic response of solids. Broadly, the work presented may be categorized into two parts{ one focusing on the ... -
Non-contact Breathing and Heartbeat signals monitoring using FMCW radar
Non-contact breathing and heartbeat signals monitoring are the tasks of extracting them without contact sensors. It became even more critical in COVID 19, and hence it is crucial to estimate them correctly. FMCW (Frequency ... -
Non-covalent interactions in Crystals and Heterocycles of Sulphur and Selenium
Hydrogen bonding plays a very important role in the fields of both chemistry and biology. Conventionally it is represented as D-H---A, where D is the donor atom, A is the acceptor atom and H is the hydrogen atom. It has ... -
Non-Dimensional Kinetoelastic Maps for Nonlinear Behavior of Compliant Suspensions
(2018-02-18)Compliant suspensions are often used in micromechanical devices and precision mechanisms as substitutes for kinematic joints. While their small-displacement behavior is easily captured in simple formulae, large-displacement ... -
Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Sheared Soft Matter and Active Granular System
In this thesis, we have studied non-equilibrium phenomena in sheared soft matter systems and in granular active matter. The surfactant systems are driven out of thermal equilibrium by applying external forcing at the ... -
Non-ergodicity in Interacting Quasiperiodic Systems and Disordered Fock Lattice Models
In this thesis, we study different aspects of many body localization in closed quantum systems. Many body localized systems are isolated interacting quantum systems that fail to thermalize on their own (non-ergodic) and ... -
Non-invasive Elastic Property Recovery of Tissue and Tissue-Like Objects from Ultrasound Excited Resonant Modes
This thesis is on non-invasive elastic property measurement of tissue or tissue-mimicking materials through vibro-acoustography and ultrasound assisted diffusing wave spectroscopy (UA-DWS). Towards this, a known force is ... -
Non-Invasive Microwave Hyperthermia
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-01-18)Presented in this thesis are the following theoretical investigations carried out on the non-invasive microwave hyperthermia of malignant tumours in the human body: Fundamental concepts of electromagnetic wave ... -
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis Using Strain-Space Plasticity Coupled With Damage
(2011-01-27)The Thesis deals with Strain-Space Plasticity and its implementation in Nonlinear Finite Element frame-work coupled with damage. Conventional Stress-Space Plasticity, though very popular amongst commercial nonlinear FEM ... -
Non-linear Vibration of Beam Immersed in Fluid
In space launch vehicles with liquid propulsion system, various sub-systems like gas bottles, anti-slosh baffles and fluid lines are placed inside the propellant tanks which become partially filled over time during flight. ... -
Non-Local Continuum Models for Damage in Solids and Delamination of Composites
The focus of the thesis is on developing new damage models for brittle materials and using these to study delamination of composite structures. Chapter 1 gives an introductory literature review in order to motivate the ... -
Non-Parametric Clustering of Multivariate Count Data
(2018-05-23)The focus of this thesis is models for non-parametric clustering of multivariate count data. While there has been significant work in Bayesian non-parametric modelling in the last decade, in the context of mixture models ... -
Non-repetitive Structures In Proteins : Effects Of Side-chain And Solvent Interactions With The Backbone
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-05-12)The work presented in this thesis deals with the analysis of protein crystal structures with an emphasis on the stereochemical aspects of the folded conformation of proteins. The various analyses described have been performed ... -
Nonequilibrium dynamics and thermodynamics of some single-particle activity-induced diffusive systems
In the mesoscopic world, diffusion is a ubiquitous process and it is usually explained by the Einstein’s theory of Brownian motion (BM). However, in the biological systems, some peculiar dynamical behaviors are observed ... -
Nonequilibrium Fluctuations In Sedimenting And Self-Propelled Systems
(2013-06-10)Equilibrium statistical mechanics has a remarkable property: the steady state probability distribution can be calculated by a procedure independent of the detailed dynamics of the system under consideration. The partition ...
