Caenorhabditis elegans-Bacteria interactions: Neuronal Regulation of Innate Immune Responses
The survival of an organism depends on its ability to sense threats and execute appropriate defense mechanisms. C. elegans is a soil-dwelling nematode that feeds on bacteria in rotting vegetation. The nematode has few ... -
Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes Investigations of Binary-Fluid Turbulence and Droplet Dynamics
(2017-12-10)The study of finite-sized, deformable droplets adverted by turbulent flows is an active area of research. It spans many streams of sciences and engineering, which include chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, statistical ... -
Call Diversity, Spatio-Temporal Patterning And Masking Interference In An Assemblage Of Acoustically Communicating Ensiferan Species Of A Tropical Evergreen Forest In Southern India
(2011-02-21)The present study provides the first description of the calls of a multi-species ensiferan assemblage in a tropical evergreen forest of the Indian subcontinent. I have identified and described the calls of twenty ensiferan ... -
Camera-Captured Document Image Analysis
(2014-08-19)Text is no longer confined to scanned pages and often appears in camera-based images originating from text on real world objects. Unlike the images from conventional flatbed scanners, which have a controlled acquisition ... -
Capacity and Life Estimation of Flooded Lead Acid Batteries using Eddy Current Sensors
(2018-01-04)Lead acid batteries are widely used in domestic, industrial and automotive applications. Even after lot of advancements in battery technologies, lead acid cells are still in use because of their high capacity and low cost. ... -
Capacity Spectrum Method : Energy Based Approach
(2013-04-29)The capacity spectrum method is a very popular tool in the performance based earthquake resistant design of structures. Though it involves nonlinear static analysis, it can be used to predict the dynamic behaviour of the ... -
The Caratheodory-Fejer Interpolation Problems and the Von-Neumann inequality
(2018-05-30)The validity of the von-Neumann inequality for commuting $n$ - tuples of $3\times 3$ matrices remains open for $n\geq 3$. We give a partial answer to this question, which is used to obtain a necessary condition for the ... -
Carbon aerogel supported first-row transition metal catalysts for methanolyis of ammonia borane
Ni-Ni3B, Co-B, and Co-Ni-B nanocomposites decorated on carbon aerogel were successfully synthesized by adopting the solution impregnation method. The nanocomposites were characterized by powder XRD, transmission electron ... -
Carbon Starvation Genes Mediate the Cross-talk Between Metabolism and Pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium
Carbon starvation genes mediate the cross-talk between metabolism and pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) can infect a wide range of host animals to cause diseases ... -
Carrier Mobility And High Field Transport in Modulation Doped p-Type Ge/Si1-xGex And n-Type Si/Si1-xGex Heterostructures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-26)Modulation doped heterostructures have revolutionized the operation of field effect devices by increasing the speed of operation. One of the factors that affects the speed of operation of these devices is the mobility of ... -
A Case for Protecting Huge Pages from the Kernel
(2018-01-01)Modern architectures support multiple size pages to facilitate applications that use large chunks of contiguous memory either for buffer allocation, application specific memory management, in-memory caching or garbage ... -
Catalytic Asymmetric Direct and Vinylogous Aldol, Michael and Alkylation Reactions
Pyrazoles and pyrazolones are a highly explored and privileged class of aza-heterocycles with a wide range of applications, thereby rendering a recurring interest in their synthesis and functionalization. Majority of the ... -
Catalytic Studies with Ru and Ir Half-sandwich Complexes Bearing NHC Ligands
The thesis describes the study of arene-tethered and untethered Ru half-sandwich complexes as catalysts in the addition of hydroelements (E‒H, E = H, B, Si) across unsaturated C-C, C-N and C-O bonds and transfer hydrogenation ... -
Causes and Consequences of Hetrospecific Foraging Associations in Terrestrial Bird Communities
(2018-04-12)The question of group-living in animals has attracted a lot of research attention. Today, we have a nuanced understanding of ultimate explanations and proximate mechanisms for group-living, as well as the genetic basis for ... -
