Experimental study of the flow of granular media through a horizontal screw feeder system
A significant fraction of the materials handled in the chemical, food-processing, and pharmaceutical industries are particulate in nature. Screw feeder systems are often employed in such scenarios to achieve their bulk ... -
Exploring water dynamics and gas separations in graphene oxide surfaces and nanopores
Graphene oxide (GO) is a chemically functionalized graphene with various oxygen-containing functional groups, such as epoxy (-O-), hydroxyl (-OH), and carboxyl (-COOH) on the basal plane. As a consequence, GOs have hydrophilic ... -
FLIPP-NAAT: A paper-based LAMP assay for point-of-care TB detection
Molecular diagnostic techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revolutionized the world of healthcare. Instead of waiting for infectious agents to physically grow as in conventional culture-based tests, genetic ... -
Flow and structure of dense granular materials
Granular materials are frequently encountered in our daily lives and are widely processed forms of matter in various industries. Despite decades of research, the mechanical behavior of granular materials is not well ... -

Formation of Porous Metallic Nanostructures Electrocatalytic Studies on Self-Assembled Au@Pt Nanoparticulate Films, and SERS Activity of Inkjet Printed Silver Substrates
(2018-04-24)Porous, conductive metallic nanostructures are required in several fields, such as energy conversion, low-cost sensors etc. This thesis reports on the development of an electrocatalytically active and conductive membrane ... -
A framework for optimizing immunotherapy for long-term control of HIV
HIV infects around 1 million people every year. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to suppress viral replication and control disease progression but it cannot eradicate the virus. ART is therefore lifelong. Today, e ... -
Gravity flow of granular materials through a vertical channel
Grains and powders are the second most widely used materials in industries and daily life after simple fluids. There are a variety of granular materials such as food grains, detergents, tablets and capsules, fertilizers, ... -
HIV Dynamics With Multiple Infections Of Cells And Recombination
(2009-07-14)The ability to accelerate the accumulation of favorable combinations of mutations renders recombination a potent force underlying the emergence of forms of HIV that escape multi-drug therapy and specific host-immune ... -
Identification of crystalline structures of clathrate hydrates during molecular simulations using machine learning
Molecular simulation is a powerful tool that links a system’s microscopic behaviour to its macroscopic observable features. The data obtained from a molecular simulation act as a digital microscope, i.e., it contains ... -
Improved Theory of Clathrate Hydrates
(2018-07-30)The current theoretical understanding of thermodynamics of clathrate hydrates is based on the van der Waals and Plattew (vdWP) theory developed using statistical thermodynamics approach. vdWP theory has been widely used ... -
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 ... -
Inkjet-Printed Ag Nanomaterials based Strain Sensors for Wearable Sensing Applications
Of late, the demand of wearable sensors has exponentially risen. For example, strain sensors that can be worn and are skin mountable play a significant role in the areas of human motion detection, healthcare, soft robotics, ... -
Investigating Membrane Dynamics And Oligomerization Of Pore-forming Toxins Using Single-molecule Fluorescence Techniques
The biological membrane is a thin fluidic matrix composed of a lipid bilayer that forms the primary cellular barrier against the extracellular environment. The high-density of embedded proteins and glycosylated molecules ... -
Investigation of multiscale biological phenomenon using kinetic modeling and molecular dynamics simulations
Biological systems inherently function at multiple spatial and temporal scales by integrating information across these scales. In this thesis, we are interested in investigating two classes of biological phenomena that ... -
Investigations Of Polymer Grafted Lipid Bilayers Using Dissipative Particle Dynamics
(2011-01-25)Lipid molecules are amphiphilic in nature consisting of a hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails. The lipid bilayer consists of two layers of lipid molecules arranged with their hydrophobic tails facing ... -
Kinetics Of Photo Initiated Organic And Polymer Reactions
(2012-04-23)Photo-initiated reactions involve the use of ultraviolet (UV) or visible light radiation to effect chemical transformations. Some of the advantages of photo-initiated reactions over thermal or high pressure reactions include ... -
Kinetics of Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes, Organics and Polymers using Nanomaterials
The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the application of photocatalysis for the degradation of organics, dyes, polymers, reduction of metal ions, decomposition of NO, etc. In this context, extensive work was ... -
Kinetics Of Polymerization And Degradation By Non-Conventional Techniques
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-28)Non-conventional techniques for polymerization and depolymerization were investigated. The rates of polymerization were enhanced higher in ultrasonic, supercritical fluids and microwaves. However in these system under ...
