Computational Investigation of Heterogeneous Lateral Organisation in Biological Membrane
The study of lateral heterogeneity on membrane surface has come a long way from the fluid mosaic model. Simulations and experimental studies have observed non-random mixing of lipids and proteins in the membrane. In this ... -
Computational investigation of peripheral membrane protein "Pleckstrin homology domain" and its regulation
The peripheral membrane protein repertoire is around 25% composed of the Pleckstrin homology domain (PHD). PHD are component of the multidomain protein and plays the role of an adaptor in recruitment of these proteins ... -
Computational mechanisms underlying eye-head coordination
Gaze or eye-head coordination is an ethologically and physiologically important process that directs the visual system to objects of interest. Due to its relative simplicity, it is an ideal system to study multi-effector ... -
Computational Mechanisms Underlying the Voluntary Control of Reach Movement Planning and Execution
In everyday life we make a variety of reaching movements. Most of these reaching movements have a clear objective of bringing the hand to the spatial location of the object of interest. Although we typically do not explicitly ... -
Computational Modeling of two Dimensional Heterostructures for Optoelectronic and Catalytic Applications
Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) materials have attracted significant attention for their unique and excellent properties. The properties of the 2D-vdW materials can be precisely engineered using various techniques ... -
Computational Modelling Of Heat Transfer In Reheat Furnaces
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)Furnaces that heat metal parts (blooms) prior to hot-working processes such as rolling or forging are called pre-forming reheat furnaces. In these furnaces, the fundamental idea is to heat the blooms to a prescribed ... -
Computational Models of Perceptual Space : From Simple Features to Complex Shapes
(2018-02-15)Dissimilarity plays a very important role in object recognition. But, finding perceptual dissimilarity between objects is non-trivial as it is not equivalent to the pixel dissimilarity between the objects (For example, two ... -
A Computational Platform For Automated Identification Of Building Blocks In Mechanical Design For Enhancing Ideation
(2016-09-09)Conceptual design is an early stage in the design process, in which functional requirements of a design problem are transformed into solution concepts for satisfying the requirements. It is regarded as a crucial step in ... -
Computational Problems In Codes On Graphs
(2009-05-11)Two standard graph representations for linear codes are the Tanner graph and the tailbiting trellis. Such graph representations allow the decoding problem for a code to be phrased as a computational problem on the corresponding ... -
Computational Protein Structure Analysis : Kernel And Spectral Methods
(2010-08-24)The focus of this thesis is to develop computational techniques for analysis of protein structures. We model protein structures as points in 3-dimensional space which in turn are modeled as weighted graphs. The problem of ... -
Computational Studies of Hydrophobic Force Law, Dynamics in Model Asymmetric Binary Mixtures, and Contribution to One and Two Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy
Depending on the system and phenomena of interest, the thesis has been partitioned into three major parts. The first part is on the theoretical infrared spectroscopic studies and vibrational phase relaxation of supercritical ... -
