The Structural Chemistry of Boron, Borospherenes and Borophenes: A Computational Study
Structural complexity is one of the characteristics of boron chemistry. The 3D solids formed from icosahedral B12 units is thought of as most favorable arrangement for boron allotropes. However, recent discoveries in this ... -
Structural connectivity correlates of human cognition explored with diffusion MRI and tractography
Intact structural connectivity among brain regions is critical to cognition. Structural connectivity forms the substratum for information flow between brain regions, and its plasticity is a hallmark of learning in the ... -
Structural Correlates of Related Contextual Learning in Retrosplenial Cortex
The discovery of dendritic spines by Santiago Ramón y Cajal is one of the most important chapters in the history of neuroscience. Apart from establishing the neuron doctrine, it presented dendritic spines as the information ... -
Structural dynamic testing for seismic response simulation and time variant reliability estimation
The research work reported in this thesis addresses a few problems which arise in the context of experimental dynamic testing of engineering structures under earthquake loads. Firstly, we consider the problem of characterizing ... -
Structural Feature of Prokaryotic Promoters and their Role in Gene Expression
(2018-05-14)Transcription initiation is an important step in the process of gene regulation in prokaryotes. Promoters are stretches of DNA sequence that are present in the upstream region of transcription start sites (TSSs), where RNA ... -
Structural Health Monitoring Accounting for Thermal Variability and Damage using Approximate Bayesian Computation
In structural engineering, damage is characterized as a change in material property, boundary condition, or geometry. The changes in these properties/parameters lead to a change in the measured response. The difference ... -
Structural Health Monitoring Of Composite Helicopter Rotor Blades
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-18)Helicopter rotor system operates in a highly dynamic and unsteady aerodynamic environment leading to severe vibratory loads on the rotor system. Repeated exposure to these severe loading conditions can induce damage in the ... -
Structural Health Monitoring Of Composite Structures Using Magnetostrictive Sensors And Actuators
(2009-07-14)Fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used in aerospace, mechanical, civil and other industries because of their high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. However, composite structures are highly ... -
Structural Health Monitoring Of Thin Plate Like Structures Using Active And Passive Wave Based Methods
(2013-07-03)Aerospace structures comprising of metals and composites are exposed to extreme loading and environmental conditions which necessitates regular inspection and maintenance to verify and monitor overall structural integrity. ... -
Structural Health Monitoring with Laser Doppler Imaging of Ultrasonic Guided Waves
This thesis deals with ultrasonic guided wave based non-destructive inspection and health monitoring of aircraft structural components using a non-contact sensing scheme based on laser Doppler scanning imaging technique. ... -
Structural insight into unique features of the Translational apparatus in Plants
Plants are constantly challenged with a variety of biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Being sessile, plants cannot evade these conditions. Most of these sudden changes in environmental conditions require a quick change ... -
Structural insights into assembly and regulation of HigBA toxin-antitoxin system from Escherichia coli
In the last few decades, bacterial Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been identified to play crucial roles in bacterial survival under stressful conditions and virulence. TA systems are pair of genetic elements where one ... -
Structural Insights into Peptide Foldamers Containing β or γ Amino Acid Residues Gained Using NMR Spectroscopy
The work reported in this thesis is focused on understanding the conformational properties of peptide foldamers containing β or γ amino acid residues. Chapter 1 includes a brief state-of-the-art literature review on peptide ... -
Structural insights into the organization and channel behavior of Pannexin isoforms
Pannexins are large-pore ion channels structurally related to Connexins and Innexins but remain as hemichannels to release cellular ATP upon activation. Pannexins comprise three isoforms, Pannexin1, 2, and 3, with diverse ... -
