Carbon-Carbon and Carbon Heteroatom Bond Forming Reactions: From Organocatalysts to Quantum Dots
Butenolides containing stereogenic centers on the ring, are commonly encountered structural motifs, found in many natural products. Consequently, there has been considerable interest in efficient and stereoselective ... -
Carrier Mobility And High Field Transport in Modulation Doped p-Type Ge/Si1-xGex And n-Type Si/Si1-xGex Heterostructures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-26)Modulation doped heterostructures have revolutionized the operation of field effect devices by increasing the speed of operation. One of the factors that affects the speed of operation of these devices is the mobility of ... -
A Case for Protecting Huge Pages from the Kernel
(2018-01-01)Modern architectures support multiple size pages to facilitate applications that use large chunks of contiguous memory either for buffer allocation, application specific memory management, in-memory caching or garbage ... -
Catalytic Asymmetric Direct and Vinylogous Aldol, Michael and Alkylation Reactions
Pyrazoles and pyrazolones are a highly explored and privileged class of aza-heterocycles with a wide range of applications, thereby rendering a recurring interest in their synthesis and functionalization. Majority of the ... -
Catalytic Studies with Ru and Ir Half-sandwich Complexes Bearing NHC Ligands
The thesis describes the study of arene-tethered and untethered Ru half-sandwich complexes as catalysts in the addition of hydroelements (E‒H, E = H, B, Si) across unsaturated C-C, C-N and C-O bonds and transfer hydrogenation ... -
Causes and Consequences of Hetrospecific Foraging Associations in Terrestrial Bird Communities
(2018-04-12)The question of group-living in animals has attracted a lot of research attention. Today, we have a nuanced understanding of ultimate explanations and proximate mechanisms for group-living, as well as the genetic basis for ... -
A cavity electromechanical device for superconducting vortex charge sensing
The penetration of magnetic fields in the form of quantized vortices in type-II superconductors is well known. However, it is not well known that such vortices can be electrically charged. The effect is quite subtle and ... -
CcdB : Stability, folding and application to design novel antibacterials
The primary amino acid sequence typically dictates the ultimate conformation of the protein. Mutations in the sequence demonstrate neutral, positive or negative effects on the structure-function relationship of the protein. ... -
CDMA Base Station Receive Co-Processor Architecture
(2007-10-23)Third generation mobile communication systems promise a greater data rate and new services to the mobile subscribers. 3G systems support up to 2 Mbps of data rate to a fixed subscriber and 144 Kbps of data rate to a fully ... -
Cell Surface Of Mycobacterium Smegmatis At The Stationary Phase : Regulation Of Gene Expression
(2009-05-21)Tuberculosis remains one of the oldest diseases known to mankind but still persists as a very major risk. Discovery of several antimycobacterials was marked by a steady decline in the active cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. ... -
Cell Survival Strategies : Role Of Gyrase Modulatory Proteins
(2010-07-21)A steady state level of negative supercoiling is essential for chromosome condensation, initiation of replication and subsequent elongation step. DNA gyrase, found in every eubacteria, serves the essential housekeeping ... -
Cellular and Molecular Features of the Response of Mycobacterium smegmatis to Rifampicin and Moxifloxacin Upon Prolonged Exposure
Bacterial persisters are a subpopulation of bacteria that can tolerate lethal concentrations of antibiotics. These are phenotypic variants that can give rise to drug‐susceptible population upon withdrawal of the antibiotic. ... -
Cellular Services Market In India : Predictive Models And Assessing Interventions
(2009-04-27)The Objective of this thesis is to address some interesting problems in the Indian cellular services market. The first problem we address relates to identifying important change points that marked the evolution of the ... -
Central and Peripheral Correlates of Motor Planning
(2018-02-11)A hallmark of human behaviour is that we can either couple or decouple our thoughts, decision and motor plans from actions. Previous studies have reported evidence of gating of information between intention and action that ... -
Cerium Oxide Based Active Catalyst for Green Hydroxylammonium Nitrate (HAN) Fueled Monopropellant Thruster
Monopropellants are widely used for propulsion and gas generation applications. The current state of art monopropellant systems are based on hydrazine propellants. While hydrazine has a strong heritage as a versatile ... -
Cerium Oxide-based Degradable Polymer Nanocomposites for Bone Tissue Engineering
The incidences of bone-related disorders is growing steeply worldwide because of acute trauma, diseases related to aging, and obesity. Bone has a natural regenerative capacity to repair and regenerate fractures and small ... -
