Application of Mesoporous Silica nanoparticles as a nano-carrier for the treatment of HCV and HIV infections
Carrier-mediated drug delivery systems have emerged as a powerful tool for the treatment of various diseases, especially, in the field of viral infection. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel anti-virals are ...
Pseudo-binary and Pseudo-ternary diffusion couple methods for understanding the growth of interdiffusion zone between bond coat and superalloys
Ni-based superalloys are widely used in jet engine applications. Bond coats are applied to these alloys for protection during service in a very harsh environment at high operating temperature. The addition of Pt to the ...
Optimization of parameters in SiC production via Acheson Process – a hot model study
Silicon carbide (SiC) is produced industrially in a heat resistance furnace using quartz (silica) and raw petroleum coke (RPC) as the raw material. In this process, commonly known as the Acheson Process, a large current ...
Continuum Analysis of Cavitation Induced Failure and Tensile Deformation Response of Metallic Glasses & Nanoglasses
Metallic glasses (MGs), which are metals solidified in an amorphous state, have shown attractive
mechanical properties such as high strength (up to 5 GPa), yield strain (around
2%) and good corrosion resistance. They ...
Two-temperature thermodynamics and continuum modelling of viscoplaticity in metals
In recent years, numerous studies have shown the complexity of plastic deformation in metals. The accuracy in modelling inelastic behaviour holds great significance for engineers as metals and metallic alloys are extensively ...
Lignin and Extractive Tracing - an Alternative approach to Assess and Predict Biogas Yields and Production Rates among Tropical Biomass Feedstocks
Predicting biogas yields from the composition of biomass feedstocks has been difficult primarily due to the variations found in their chemical composition and structure of lignocellulosics. This study aims at understanding, ...
Additive Manufacturing of Inconel 718 Cellular Structures
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is getting adopted in various industries like automobile, aerospace, medical, nuclear, defense, and space, amongst many others, in the last five to ten years due to the tremendous advantages of ...
Design of Curved Aggressive Annular Diffusers
For economical air transportation, aero engines with lower specific fuel consumption, lower emissions and lower noise levels are required. To this end, the use of turbofan engine with high bypass ratio is an option. With ...
Studies on Processed Granulated Blast Furnace Slag as Fine Aggregate in Mortars and Concrete
Fine aggregate is essential for the preparation of mortar and concrete. There are attempts to find alternatives to the river sand as the natural sources for fine aggregates are dwindling. Currently, sand mining from river ...
Ab initio Quantum Chemical Studies on Kinetic Fractionation during the analysis of Carbonates for the Clumped Isotope Thermometry
Stable and clumped isotopic compositions of molecules and minerals carry the signatures of temperatures and other physical and chemical conditions of the time of their formation. Isotopic compositions of such precipitate ...
