Towards the development of open-chip digital microfluidics platform
Manipulating and utilizing fluid flows at microscale provides several opportunities towards technological advancement in different domains such as (but not limited to) lab-on-chip devices for mimicking biological laboratory ... -
Towards The Total Synthesis Of Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acyl Phloroglucin (PPAP) Natural Products : Garsubellin A And Hyperforin
(2010-07-16)Organic synthesis has a rich history, ever since Friedrich Wohler’s synthesis of urea from ammonium cyanate in 1828 that gave birth to this important discipline of science. While organic synthesis has found many application ... -
Towards The Total Synthesis Of Terpenoid Natural Products
(2007-09-05)The construction of diverse molecular architecture conceived and created by Nature, continues to be the most exiting and challenging task to the practitioners of organic synthesis. As a result of refinement in isolation ... -
Towards The Understanding Of The Structural Biology Of Histone H1
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)In the eukaryotic nucleus, an immense length of DNA is compactly packaged to generate an ordered three-dimensional hierarchical structure called chromatin (van Holde, 1988; Wolffe, A.P, 1998). This organization forms a ... -
Trace Estimate For The Determinant Operator And K- Homogeneous Operators
Let $\boldsymbol T=(T_1, \ldots , T_d)$ be a $d$- tuple of commuting operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. Assume that $\boldsymbol T$ is hyponormal, that is, $\big [\!\!\big [ \boldsymbol T^*, \boldsymbol T \big ]\!\! ... -
Trade-offs And Social Behaviour In The Cellular Slime Moulds
(2014-08-01)By combining laboratory experiments with field work, I have looked at the following aspects of cellular slime mould (CSM) biology: (a) the genetic structure of social groups (fruiting bodies) in the wild and its relation ... -
Trajectory-based Descriptors for Action Recognition in Real-world Videos
(2018-07-30)This thesis explores motion trajectory-based approaches to recognize human actions in real-world, unconstrained videos. Recognizing actions is an important task in applications such as video retrieval, surveillance, ... -
Transboundary externalities and the river sharing problem
Population increase and economic growth have caused competing demands to occur over transboundary water resources. The property rights on such water resources are not well defined, and therefore competing demands give rise ... -
Transceiver Design Based on the Minimum-Error-Probability Framework for Wireless Communication Systems
(2018-06-19)Parameter estimation and signal detection are the two key components of a wireless communication system. They directly impact the bit-error-ratio (BER) performance of the system. Several criteria have been successfully ... -
Transcription In Mycobacteria : From Initiation To Elongation
(2015-01-02)The global re-emergence of TB and other mycobacterial infections have underscored the need for a thorough investigation of the biology of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, at the molecular level. The peculiar ... -
Transcription Initiation and its Regulation in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-02-27)The ability to fine-tune gene-expression in the adverse conditions during pre and post infectious stages has contributed in no small measure to the success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the deadly pathogen. Multiple ... -
Transcription termination in Mycobacteria
Transcription termination is one of the key events of gene expression that decides the boundary of the gene. Termination either before the stop codon or transcriptional read-through into the downstream gene both have ... -
Transcriptional Analysis Of The Principal Cell Division Gene ftsZ Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis And Mycobacterium Smegmatis
(2009-03-04)The success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a pathogen is due to its remarkable ability to: (i). adapt to and survive inside activated macrophages under nonproliferating condition, (ii). put up drug resistance ... -
Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of the Tumor Suppressor CDC73 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma : Implications for Cancer Therapeutics
(2018-04-16)CDC73, also known as HRPT2, is a tumour suppressor gene whose expression is lost or downregulated in parathyroid, renal, breast, uterine and gastric cancers. However, the reports regarding the role of CDC73 in oral squamous ... -
Transcriptional Regulation And The Role Of Galactose Metabolism In The Virulence Of Candida Albicans
(2009-06-24)Candida albicans, a commensal of gastrointestinal and uro-vaginal tract can cause superficial as well as life threatening disseminated infections under conditions of lowered immunity of the host such as HIV infection, ... -
Transcriptional Regulation By A Biotin Starvation- And Methanol-Inducible Zinc Finger Protein In The Methylotrophic Yeast, Pichia Pastoris
(2016-05-04)Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast is widely used for recombinant protein production. It has a well characterized methanol utilization (MUT) pathway, the enzymes of which are induced when cells are cultured in the ... -
Transcriptional Regulation By Nuclear Receptor Homodimers Binding To The Direct Repeat Motif DR1 : Investigations In An in vitro Transcription System Derived From Rat Liver Nuclear Extracts
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)Nuclear receptors (NRs) are important transcription factors involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryonic development, cell differentiation and homeostasis (for review, see Mangelsdorf ... -
Transcriptional regulation of a microRNA encoding gene MIR319C during leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The evolutionarily conserved microRNA miR319 and its target transcription factors encoded by five CIN-TCPs (TCP2, 3, 4, 10 & 24) regulate leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis by triggering the division to differentiation ... -
