Typestates and Beyond: Verifying Rich Behavioral Properties Over Complex Programs
Statically verifying behavioral properties of programs is an important research problem. An efficient solution to this problem will have visible effects over multiple domains, ranging from program development, program ... -
Ultrafast Photoexcited Carrier Dynamics in Low Dimensional Systems Probed by Time Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy
The key aspect of this thesis is to understand the photoinduced carrier dynamics in low dimensional systems by employing time resolved optical pump-terahertz probe (OPTP) spectroscopy. Ultrafast pulsed laser (Ti: Sapphire ... -
Uncertainty modeling and analysis of aerospace structures
Aerospace structures are different from other structures due to the difference in the required properties for an aerospace application. The primary motivation of this kind of structure lies in its lightweight nature, ... -
Uncovering the role of NFS1 in Fe-S cluster biogenesis and in the development of Infantile mitochondrial complex II/III deficiency (IMC23D) disease progression and 2. Screening single domain antibody (VHH) against a membrane transporter
The mitochondrion is a double membrane-bound organelle found in all eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondria are endosymbiotic, autogenous organelles referred to as “Powerhouse” of cells due to their ability to synthesize ATP ... -
Understanding the regulation of translation and replication of Coxsackievirus B3 RNA by host RNA binding proteins
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is an enterovirus, with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. The genome contains a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by untranslated regions (UTR) at the 5’ and 3’ ends. The viral ... -
Understanding the Role of SIRT2 in Cardiac Hypertrophy, Cell Death and Glucose Homeostasis
Over the last century the major causes of human deaths and ailments has shifted from acute infectious diseases to chronic aging related disorders like cancer and type-2 diabetes. The aging process is a universal property ... -
Understanding the Significance of Ydcp, a Putative Peptidase Encoding Gene, in Virulence of Salmonella
Salmonella is a recognised enteric pathogen which infects several mammalian and avian hosts through faeco-oral route and establishes either a localised gastrointestinal inflammation and diarrhoea or a systemic fever, ... -
A Unified Framework For Micromechanical Damage Modeling In Laminated Polymer Matrix Composites
A unified numerical framework for progressive damage analysis in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates has been developed by explicitly accounting for damage progression at the micro-level. A three-dimensional repeating ... -
Untangling the Helicobacter pylori genome: Deciphering the significance of zinc finger motif(s) in Topoisomerase I catalysis
Helicobacter pylori, a human pathogen dominating gastric microbial population, displays differential gene expression during various stages of stomach colonization. Topoisomerases play a crucial role in maintaining DNA ... -
Upper Frequency Bound on Circuit-Based Models for Transformer Windings
The power generation, transmission and utilisation are necessarily being carried out at different voltage levels, and require transformers for performing the voltage level conversions. As a result, transformers form one ... -
Use of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Model to Study Primary Microcephaly
The aim of this study was to use human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) to understand key steps of neuronal differentiation and to model the human brain developmental disorder, primary microcephaly (MCPH). MCPH is a ... -
Valorization of Residual Ligno-celluloses from Anaerobic Digesters Through Product Recovery
Complete digestion of lignocellulosic biomass during anaerobic digestion (AD) is impossible due to recalcitrance created by lignin, consequently leaving behind a significant part of the feedstock unconverted to methane. ... -
Vanadium Complexes for DNA Crosslinking and Photodynamic Applications
The present thesis work deals with the studies involving synthesis of vanadium-based complexes as photoactivated chemotherapeutic as well a photodynamic therapeutic agent. Their interactions with DNA, as double-stranded ... -
Versatile sensing platform using silicon photonic microring resonators
Measurement of refractive indices of liquids and thin films can play an important role for chemical analysis in the fields of healthcare and biomedical research. There is a requirement of miniaturized refractive index ... -
Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures using ECR plasma and their applications
Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures are a type of carbon nanomaterial in which nanostructures are aligned lengthwise perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. In this thesis work, two vertically aligned carbon ... -
Vibrational Spectroscopic studies of Dynamics of BSA unfolding, Lysozyme-Ethanol interaction and Tissue Imaging
Vibrational spectroscopy has served as a powerful tool for understanding various structural properties of the molecules since decades. In the recent years, it has also emerged as an invaluable tool in understanding various ... -
Visual Speech Recognition
Visual speech recognition (VSR), or automatic lip-reading, is the task of extracting speech information from visual input. The addition of visual speech has been shown to improve the performance of traditional audio ... -
Wide Band Gap Oxides as the Probes for Optical Based Sensing Applications
Temperature is a very critical and widely measured variable by both researchers and engineers. In this regard, most of the available temperature sensors are based on contact mode of operation. In this consideration, the ... -
