Aspects of Heavy Supersymmetry
The recent discovery of a Higgs boson with a mass around 125 GeV, taken together with experimental results from flavor factories, dark matter direct detection, and searches for SUSY particles in the LHC suggest that ... -
Aspects of Higher Spin Theories Conformal Field Theories and Holography
(2018-05-30)This dissertation consist of three parts. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the study of gravity and higher spin gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We construct cosmological so-lutions of higher spin gravity in 2+1 ... -
Aspects of Holography and Quantum complexity
We begin with the Principle of holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We begin our investigations by considering the Principle of Holography, at the level of codimension-1 screens. We argue that the mechanism of encoding ... -
Aspects of low-dimensional quantum systems in and out-of-equilibrium
The classification of novel phases of matter beyond the Landau paradigm has been comprehensively explored over the past decade. In this context, one-dimensional quantum systems are particularly promising, as they host ... -
Aspects Of The Chemistry Of Iron Complexes Showing DNA Photo-cleavage Activity
(2010-12-30)The present thesis deals with different aspects of the chemistry of iron complexes, their interaction with DNA and photo-induced cleavage of double-stranded DNA. Chapter I presents a general introduction on metal-based ... -
Aspects Of The Chemistry Of Oxovanadiulm(IV) Complexes Showing Photo-Induced Cytotoxicity And DNA Cleavage Activity
(2011-07-08)The present thesis deals with different aspects of the chemistry of oxovanadium(IV) complexes, their interaction with DNA and protein and photo-induced DNA and protein cleavage activity and photocytotoxicity. Chapter I ... -
Aspects of time dependence in quantum quenches
In this thesis we study the time dependence of correlators such as Green function, entanglement (Renyi) entropy and mutual information following quantum quench in Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) and their holographic duals ... -
Assesment Of Air Quality And Anthropogenic Aerosol Fraction Over India Using Observations And Model
(2014-12-11)Air quality degradation is emerging to be an issue of major concern in India. Recent investigations have shown that anthropogenic aerosols have significant impact on climate as well as on health. In fourth assessment report ... -
Assessing protein contribution to phenotypic change using short, coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations
Understanding the functional mapping between genotype and phenotype is an important problem that has ramifications for various diseases. Various existing computational methods can infer these disease-related functional ... -
Assessing the potential of stable calcium isotope ratios for paleotemperature reconstruction from studies of laboratory-precipitated inorganic carbonates and modern corals, fish otoliths and foraminifera
Determining paleo-seawater composition and temperature is critical for reconstructing Earth’s surface conditions through time and has major implications for understanding the origin and evolution of life on Earth. ... -
Assessment and Monitoring Of Hydrometeorological Variables And Extreme Conditions for Present and Future Climate Change Scenarios
Monitoring and assessment of Hydrological/hydrometeorological Variables (HVs) like streamflow, soil moisture, precipitation, and temperature are essential for various applications such as prediction/forecasting of natural ... -
Assessment of Direct Radiative Effects of Aerosols using Assimilated Datasets over the Indian Region
Uncertainties in estimation of radiative effects of aerosols, pose the primary challenge for the accurate climate impact assessment of aerosols. Especially, over the Indian region which is characterized by significant ... -
Assessment of Environmental Issues And Biodegradation Aspects of Current MSW Practices of Developing Country Metropolises - A Case Study of Bangalore
(2017-10-18)Municipal solid waste (MSW) production has significantly increased in the rapidly urbanizing developing world and also changed composition with increased decomposable organic fraction in MSW (OFMSW) and plastics content. ... -
Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ... -
An Assessment Of Nanoscience And Nanotechnology (NST) Initiatives In India
(2013-06-12)Technology is the ‘engine of economic growth’ and technological progress is the most important factor driving a nation’s sustained economic growth. New technologies assume significant and long term role in this process of ... -
