Oxygen Transfer In Pichia Pastoris Fermentation
(2009-03-17)Recombinant Pichia pastoris is one of the important methylotropic yeast due to its robustness and ability to produce hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH) extracellularly. High growth ... -
Paper microfluidic tools to improve the sensitivity and dynamic range of point-of-care immunoassays
Over the past decade, developing affordable home-based tests to diagnose infectious diseases has become a pressing need. The lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is the most successfully commercialized point-of-care immunoassay. ... -
Paper-Based Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tools: Electrokinetic Nucleic Acid Extraction and Saliva-Based Glucose Detection for Diabetes Monitoring
Currently, we face a global challenge posed by the dual burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Low-and middle-income countries are disproportionately overburdened by ... -
Particle Dynamics In A Turbulent Particle-Gas Suspension At High Stokes Number
(2010-12-08)Particle laden turbulent flows find applications in many industrial processes such as energy conversion, air pollution control etc. In these types of flows, there are strong coupling between the turbulent fluctuations in ... -
Phase Behaviour of Oppositely Charged Nanoparticles : A Study of Binary Nanoparticle Superlattices
Binary nanoparticle superlattices or BNSL’s have been a major area of research in nanotechnology for the last decade. The conventional lithographic techniques are limited to fabricate features only within a plane while ... -
Photocatalytic and Photoelectrocatalytic systems for water remediation and energy applications
This PhD work consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on photocatalytic systems for water remediation from bacteria and phenolic compounds, and the second part deals with photoelectrocatalytic systems for biomass ... -
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ... -
Pore Forming Toxins : Unravelling Oligomerization Pathways and Related Kinetics
Pore forming toxins are a class of proteins secreted from a wide variety of pathogens. These toxins are implicated in several diseases such as cholera, anthrax, tuberculosis and food poisoning. The toxin proteins are ... -
Prediction Of Separation Factor In Foam Separation Of Proteins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-20)Polyhedral foams offer large gas-liquid interfacial area associated with a small amount of liquid. Therefore, if a solute adsorbs preferentially at the interface, the concentration of the solute in the foam will be greater ... -
Processing mediated polymorphism in PVDF-based dielectric polymers and their application
The ever-increasing demand in electronic devices, piezoelectric materials such as ceramics, polymers and polymer ceramic composites with enhanced piezoelectric and dielectric properties has become the focus of many ... -
Quality-quantity trade off during antibody production and the design of optimal passive immunization protocols
Passive immunization has been used classically to rapidly clear antigen and reduce disease burden. Surprisingly, recent studies have found passive immunization to induce lasting improvements in the humoral response, ... -
Rate Enhancement Of The Catalytic Hydrogenation Of An Unsaturated Ketone By Ultrasonic Irradiation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-08-25)The aim of the work was to develop an understanding of the phenomenon of rate enhancement observed when a heterogeneous catalytic reaction system is irradiated by ultrasound. The system under investigation was the catalytic ... -
Refractive-Index-Matched Fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry for Investigation of Flow in Immersed Granular Materials
Refractive-Index-Matched Fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry for Investigation of Flow in Immersed Granular Materials The ubiquity of granular materials and their importance in everyday life, industry, and nature make ... -
Rheology of Dense Granular Chute Flows
Granular flows have always fascinated researchers through its complex and mysterious behavior. Although a collection of solids, they exhibit properties like that of fluids. Flows over an inclined plane, known as chute flow, ... -
Rheology of dense granular materials
Granular materials are frequently encountered in our daily lives and are widely used in several industrial processes. Characterising the flow of these materials has always proved challenging due to the lack of simple ... -
Rheology of dense non-Brownian suspensions
Suspensions are ubiquitous in nature and industry, ranging from magma, blood, and mud to cement, paint, and molten chocolate. Despite the Newtonian nature of the suspending fluid and the expectation of linearity in the ... -
