Characterization of Interconnections in Smart-X Applications
Smart-X applications are realized by interconnecting several objects to achieve real-time capability by improving safety, reliability, and efficiency. These interconnections can be broadly classified as physical connections ... -
Characterization of mouse Apolipoprotein L9 and investigation of its cellular functions
This thesis is divided into 3 chapters. Chapter 1, titled General Introduction, is a chapter that familiarizes the reader with the general subject matter of the thesis so that the content of Chapters 2 and 3 can ... -
Characterization of Neuroprotective Reactive Astrocytes in the Aging Mammalian Brain
The brain manifests cognitive deficits in aging and becomes more vulnerable to neurodegeneration. Astrocytes play several critical roles in the brain, including synapse formation, maturation, elimination, and synaptic ... -
Characterization of Quality Factors of Superconducting Resonators
Superconducting lumped element resonators play a pivotal role in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) architectures, serving both as protective filters that isolate qubits from environmental noise and as sensitive probes ... -
Characterization Of Structural And Non-structural Proteins Of Positive Sense, Single-stranded RNA Plant Viruses
(2015-07-08)In the present thesis, two positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses have been used as models to understand the structure and function of viral-encoded proteins. One of them, Pepper Vein Banding Virus (PVBV; genus Potyvirus; ... -
Characterization of the Cis and Trans Acting Factors that Influence p53 IRES Function
(2018-03-07)p53 is a nodal tumor suppressor protein that acts as a major defense against cancers. Approximately 50% of human tumours have mutations in p53 gene. Among its myriad features, the most distinctive is the ability to elicit ... -
Characterization of the transsulfuration enzyme Cystathionine beta-synthase as a novel regulatory node in the sulfur metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Methionine and cysteine metabolisms are important for the survival and pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The transsulfuration pathway converts methionine to cysteine and represents an important link between ... -
Characterization of the Voice Source by the DCT for Speaker Information
(2017-12-10)Extracting speaker-specific information from speech is of great interest to both researchers and developers alike, since speaker recognition technology finds application in a wide range of areas, primary among them being ... -
Characterization of Thymocyte Subpopulations and Mechanistic Insights during Various Modes of Thymic Atrophy
T lymphocytes along with B lymphocytes constitute the adaptive immune system, which is critical for host defence. The progenitors of T cells arise in the bone marrow and the sequential development of T cells occurs in the ... -
Characterization of Visual Stimulus-Induced Gamma Oscillations as Signatures of Mechanisms Underlying Healthy Aging and Disease
Neural oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations in the electrical activity recorded from the brain that convey important information about brain function. Gamma oscillations, which refer to the 30–80 Hz frequency range, are ... -
Characterization of XRN2-mediated microRNA turnover mechanism and its pathophysiological significance in eukaryotes
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small non-coding RNAs that are extensively involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Comprehensive studies on miRNA expression and function have ... -
Characterization, properties and dynamics of squeezed states: single mode and multimode systems
Squeezed states of the quantized electromagnetic field, as well as the squeezing phenomenon in the more general quantum mechanical context, have been topics of enormous interest recently. In addition to a very large number ... -
Characterizing Patenting in an Indian University System: A Case Study
University patenting reflects on the strength of a nation’s innovation in basic research and ability to seed innovation in industry. Despite the growing support from the government for public funded universities to patent ... -
Characterizing the link between dynamics and function in proteins that violate the structure-function paradigm
The structure-function paradigm states that the three-dimensional structure of a protein is dictated by its amino acid sequence, which influences its function. However, this paradigm fails to explain the behaviour of ... -
Characterizing the role of claudins in C. elegans neurons
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) play important roles in neurons, contributing to nervous system development, synapse formation and plasticity. A subset of CAMs, Claudins, known for their roles at tight junctions, remain ... -
Characterizing the viral factors and host determinants that control Dengue virus infection and pathogenesis
Background – Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that is the causative agent for dengue fever, which progresses to dengue shock syndrome in many patients. It is estimated that around 390 million dengue infections ... -
Characters of classical groups twisted by roots of unity
This thesis focuses on the study of specialized characters of irreducible polynomial representations of the complex classical Lie groups of types A, B, C and D. We study various specializations where the characters are ... -
Charaterization of Sand-Rubber Mixture and Numerical Analysis for Vibration Isolation
(2018-02-20)Scrap tyres provide numerous advantages from the viewpoint of civil engineering practices. Scrap tyres are light weight, have high vibration absorption, high elastic compressibility, high hydraulic conductivity, and ... -
Charge and Heat Transport in Low-dimensional Quantum Systems
Transport of electrons through low-dimensional quantum conductors like nano-junctions has been actively pursued research area for the last few decades. Experimental studies on nano-junctions are nowadays routinely carried ...
