Engineering the N-Glycosylation Pathway in Pichia Pastoris for the Expression of Glycoprotein Hormones
(2018-01-15)
Proteins, participating in a myriad of biological function, are at the core of all cellular activities occurring within living organisms. Therapeutic proteins, hence constitute a major part of the pharmaceutical industry. ...
Inactivation of Microorganisms by Photocatalysis
(2018-02-20)
Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process, which has shown to possess an enhanced capability to remove a wide range of contaminants. It involves the use of a semiconductor photocatalyst and a photon source. Photocatalysis ...
Theoretical Studies of the Mechanisms of the Entry of Virus into Cells
(2018-02-09)
Viruses cause human diseases by entering in to human cells. Many drugs have been developed that act at various stages of viral infection, but they fail due to their toxic side effects and high mutation rates of viruses. ...
Vibration Testing of Structures under Random Support Excitations
(2018-07-30)
Vibration testing of structures constitutes a crucial step in design and commissioning of engineering structures. The focus here is on simulating field conditions in a laboratory so that detailed investigations of the ...
Mechanical Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanocomposites
(2018-08-14)
Measurement of all the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes is extremely difficult because of its small size. In the present work, all the five transverse isotropic properties of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) ...
Supporting Real-Time, Automated Evaluation of Difficulty in Manual Assembly
(2018-08-29)
Product designers address the costs of assembly during the design process. Design process can be more efficient if assembly issues could be addressed early in its design process. Doing this requires the ability to assess ...
Analytical Modelling and Non-linear Characterisation of Piezoelectric Materials for Actuation and Vibration Control of Beams
(2018-08-29)
The use of piezoelectric materials for actuation, and vibration suppression of thin beams, is the subject of study in this doctoral thesis. The initial focus is set on reducing beam vibrations with resistively shunted ...
Evolutionary Aspects of Archean Kolli-Massif, Southern India : An Archive of Crustal Processes
(2018-08-13)
The continental crust is the record of the history of the Earth, of the processes and events that have contributed to the planet's evolution. It is now understood that the continental crust is growing continuously since ...
In-Cylinder Experimental and Modeling Studies on Producer Gas Fuelled Operation of Spark Iginited Gas Engines
(2018-08-10)
The current work, through experimental and numerical investigations, analyses the process and cycle level deviations in engine response on fuelling multi-cylinder natural gas engines with producer gas. Producer gas is a ...
Influence of Electric Field on the Global and Local Structure in the Ferroelectric Ceramic Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3 and its Solid Solutions with BaTiO3 and K1/2Bi1/2TiO3
(2018-08-14)
Ferroelectric ceramics are very promising materials for a variety of piezoelectric applications such as high permittivity dielectrics, piezoelectric sensors, piezoelectric/electrostrictive transducers, actuators, electro-optic ...
