Cholinergic-receptor-independent modulation of intrinsic properties of subicular neurons through inhibition of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels
Acetylcholine release is vital in tuning the hippocampal theta oscillations. Subiculum, the output region of the hippocampus endowed with different neuronal subtypes, also generates theta oscillations during arousal and ... -
Circumstellar Interaction Of Young Supernovae : With inputs From Radio And X-ray Wavebands
(2011-09-30)This thesis deals with the radiative emission arising out of the interaction of several core collapse supernovae (SNe) with their dense circumstellar medium (CSM) and uses the radiative properties as diagnostics of the ... -
A Class of Mathematical Models for Low Carbon Electricity Planning
(2018-08-09)India's electricity system is faced with the challenges of meeting the growing demand for electricity, managing recurring shortages in supply and addressing concerns of global warming. India is adopting a two-pronged ... -
Class-F Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) Mixtures for Enhanced Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Applications
(2018-01-11)Fly ash and blast furnace slag are the two major industrial solid by-products generated in most countries including India. Although their utilization rate has increased in the recent years, still huge quantities of these ... -
Classical Approach to Understanding the Impact Dynamics of Hollow Droplets
Compound droplets are utilized in applications ranging from the preparation of emulsion to biological cell printing and additive manufacturing. Here, we report on the impact dynamics of a compound hollow droplet on a ... -
Classical Binary Codes And Subspace Codes in a Lattice Framework
(2017-10-10)The classical binary error correcting codes, and subspace codes for error correction in random network coding are two different forms of error control coding. We identify common features between these two forms and study ... -
Classifying Magnetic and Non-magnetic Two-dimensional Materials by Machine Learning
There has been a giant leap in technological advancement with the introduction of graphene and its remarkable properties after 2005. Since the inception of graphene, the new class of materials called 2D materials are ... -

Climate-Growth Relationships of West Himalayan Fir (Abies pindrow) along an Altitudinal Gradient in Northwestern Himalaya
Climate change which includes an increase in temperature, changes in precipitation, retreating of glaciers, has a significant impact on ecosystem dynamics and the social communities. High mountains around the globe are ... -
Climate-resilience of Dwellings in Transition and the Thermal Behaviour of their Inhabitants
Thermal comfort is critical for the well-being, and productivity of the inhabitants. Traditional dwellings constructed using local, low-carbon materials have for decades provided comfortable indoor thermal environment to ... -
Cloning and Expression of a Diagnostic Antigen for Invasive Amoebiasis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-29)A crude extract of axenically grown amoebae was used as antigen in order to develop an AB microELISA for the detection and quantitation of E. histolytica-specific IgG antibodies. This ELISA was used to screen individual ... -
Closed-form Solutions For Rotating And Non-rotating Beams : An Inverse Problem Approach
(2012-12-04)Rotating Euler-Bernoulli beams and non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams are widely used to model important engineering structures. Hence the vibration analyses of these beams are an important problem from a structural dynamics ... -
Cloud Properties Over SHAR Region Derived From Weather RADAR Data
(2011-01-18)Weather radars are increasingly used for the study of clouds, understanding the precipitation systems and also for forecasting very short range weather (one hour to a few hours). Now, Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) data are ... -
