Controlling Defects in CVD Grown Graphene : Device Application Perspective
(2017-12-06)Necessity is the mother of all inventions. With Si hitting the speed bottleneck, newer materials to replace Si are being sought out. The ex-foliation based experiments on graphene by Geim and Novoselov at this point was ... -
Corrosion And Wear Behaviour of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation And Laser Surface Alloy Coatings Produced on Mg Alloys
(2017-10-11)In the present investigation, surface coatings employing laser surface alloying (LSA) and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) processes have been prepared on Mg alloys. The coatings have been investigated for corrosion and ... -
Crystal Structures of Native and AdoMet Bound rRNA Methyltransferase from Sinorhizobium meliloti : Structural Insights into rRNA Recognition. Evolutionary, Structural and Functional Studies on Nucleoid-Associated Proteins HU and IHF
DNA- and RNA-binding proteins play a central role in gene regulation, which includes transcriptional control, alternative splicing, post-translational and transcriptional modifications like methylation and acetylation among ... -
Cytotoxicity of Metal Based Anticancer Active Complexes and their Targeted Delivery using Nanoparticles
(2018-02-21)Use of metal based anticancer medication began with the clinical approval of cisplatin in 1978. Research led to the development of six platinum based drug candidates which are in use around the world. However there is a ... -
Data Fusion Based Physical Layer Protocols for Cognitive Radio Applications
(2017-09-26)This thesis proposes and analyzes data fusion algorithms that operate on the physical layer of a wireless sensor network, in the context of three applications of cognitive radios: 1. Cooperative spectrum sensing via binary ... -
Dead-Time Induced Oscillations in Voltage Source Inverter-Fed Induction Motor Drives
(2017-12-07)The inverter dead-time is integral to the safety of a voltage source inverter (VSI). Dead-time is introduced between the complementary gating signals of the top and bottom switches in each VSI leg to prevent shoot-through ... -
Deciphering the Mechanisms of AMPK Activation upon Anchorage- Deprivation
(2018-01-07)AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of energy homeostasis in cells. It has been implicated as a therapeutic target for various metabolic diseases like type II diabetes and obesity. However, its role in ... -
Deliberations on Borrower Behaviour in the Context of Micro-finance
Micro-finance, a popular tool for poverty alleviation, has witnessed a cycle of reaching out to the credit strapped, recording high recovery rates, scaling up exponentially and facing mass defaults, world-over. The two ... -
Delineating the Role of OsMADS1 in Auxin Distribution, Floret Identity and Floret Meristem Determinacy
(2017-12-02)Rice have highly derived florets borne on a short branch called ‘spikelet’ comprised of a pair of rudimentary glumes and sterile lemma (empty glumes) that subtends a single fertile floret. The floral organs consist of a ... -
Delineating the Roles for WNT Signaling During PRRs Driven Inflammatory Responses : Implications for Host-Pathogen Interaction
The mammalian immune system consists of the innate and adaptive arm/s that protect the host against pathogenic infections in a highly coordinated process involving multiple steps. Innate immune cells such as macrophages ... -
Design and Characterization of HIV-1 ENV Derived Immunogens
(2018-06-21)The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a member of the retroviridae family from lentivirus genus which primarily infects CD4+ T cells and also to lesser degree monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells causing progressive ... -
Design and Characterization of SRAMs for Ultra Dynamic Voltage Scalable (U-DVS) Systems
(2017-11-29)The ever expanding range of applications for embedded systems continues to offer new challenges (and opportunities) to chip manufacturers. Applications ranging from exciting high resolution gaming to routine tasks like ... -
Design And Control of Power Converters for Renewable Energy Systems
(2017-09-20)Renewable energy sources normally require power converters to convert their energy into standardized regulated ac output. The motivation for this thesis is to design and control power converters for renewable energy ... -
