Testing the Hypothesis of Quorum Sensing in Vibrio fischeri : Luminescence, Motility, and Biofilm
(2018-03-15)The individual behaviour of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria often gives rise to complexity that is commonly associated with multicellular behaviour. The transition from unicellular to multicellular behaviour occurs ... -
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. ... -
Translation from batch to continuous processing of metal nanoparticle synthesis and application metallic nanostructures printed on flexible substrates
One of the key challenges in nanoparticle synthesis is the quality control on scaling up the operation from bench to plant scale, which is constrained by conventionally adopted batch operation. Translation from batch ... -
Turbulence in Soft Walled Micro Channels
(2017-12-07)In comparison to the flow in a rigid channel, there is a multi-fold reduction in the transition Reynolds number for the flow in a micro channel when one of the walls is made sufficiently soft, due to a dynamical instability ... -
Understanding Structure And Growth Of Physisorbed Films : A Combined Atomic Force Microscopy And Modeling Study
(2014-10-16)Surface modification has wide ranging implications in lubrication, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), colloidal systems and biological membranes. Surface modification plays an important role in stabilizing gold ... -
Understanding the interplay between immune response and virus evolution
RNA viruses are the underlying cause of many human diseases, including the common cold, influenza, dengue fever, and COVID-19. Their ability to evolve rapidly makes them challenging to tackle, resulting in public health ... -
Unraveling the Evolutionary Advantages of Crosstalk Between Two-Component Signalling Systems of M tuberculosis
(2018-05-29)M. tuberculosis (Mtb) senses and responds to changes in its environment primar-ily through two-component signalling systems (TCSs). Each TCS contains a trans-membrane histidine kinase (HK ) protein and a cytoplasmic response ... -
Wall Effects In Packed Beds
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-13)Packed beds find extensive application in a wide variety of industries. The objective of the present work is to analyze and evaluate the effects of the wall on structural characteristics, hydrodynamics and heat transfer ... -
Wetting and Frictional Properties of Hexagonal Boron Nitride with Atomic-Scale Defects and Roughness
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have become materials of choice for applications spanning optoelectronics, atomically thin coatings, and ... -
Wood Fiber Filled Polyolefin Composites
(2009-05-19)The objective of the study is to improve the interfacial adhesion between the wood fibers and thermoplastic matrix. Efforts were also directed towards improving manufacturing processes so as to realize the full potential ...
