Linear stability analysis of fluid flow adjacent to a flexible surface
Fluid flow adjacent to a flexible surface is often encountered in biological systems and bio-technological processes. These flows have been analyzed using models similar to those for the flow past a rigid surface, but the ... -
Mathematical and data-driven modelling of viral infections: Applications to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19
Remarkable advances are being made in developing interventions for eliciting longterm remission of HIV-1 infection. The success of these interventions will obviate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the current ... -
Mathematical and Statistical Modeling of Epidemiology of Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infections and Vaccine Design Strategies
A defining feature of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the high prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections – laboratory-confirmed cases where individuals never develop symptoms. Accurately estimating the proportion ... -
Mesoscale Modelling of sheared lamellar mesophases
The lamellar phase or smectic lyotropic liquid crystalline medium, which is made up of alternating flat sheets of water and surfactant bilayers shearing past each other in an imposed flow. Surprisingly, In practical ... -
Methane Storage In Activated Carbon Nanostructures : A Combined Density Functional And Monte Carlo Study
(2011-08-04)Natural gas is stored as compressed natural gas (CNG) in heavy steel cylinders under pressures of 200-250 atm. However, such a method of storage has certain disadvantages which include multistage compression costs, limited ... -
Micromechanical understanding of the macroscopic features of dense granular materials
The prevalence of granular materials in nature (soil, beach sand, rubble pile asteroids) and in several industries (cement, food grains, pharmaceutical powders) has motivated extensive research towards understanding the ... -
A Model For Heat Transfer In A Honey Bee Swarm
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-20)During spring, it has been observed that several thousand bees leave their hive, and settle on some object such as a tree branch. Some of the scout bees search for a suitable place where a new hive can be set up, while the ... -
Modeling and Experimental Investigations into Soluble Lead Redox Flow Battery : New Mechanisms
(2018-05-14)Continued emission of green house gases has energized research activity worldwide to develop efficient ways to harness renewal energy. The availability of large scale energy storage technologies is essential to make renewal ... -
Modeling and Experimental Studies on Nucleation & Growth of Crystals Using Super-Cooled Liquids
Crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a critical processing step in the pharmaceutical industry. It traditionally involves supercooling mother liquor in jacketed vessels to induce crystallization ... -
Modeling And Simulation Frameworks For Synthesis Of Nanoparticles
(2010-08-06)Nanoparticles are used in various applications like medical diagnostics, drug delivery, energy technology, electronics, catalysis etc. Although particles of such small dimensions can be synthesized through various methods, ... -
Modeling Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission and Infection
(2018-05-21)HIV-1 is a global pandemic with about 39 million people infected. In India, 2.9 million people are infected and about 2 lakh new infections have been reported last year. To date, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. Current ... -
Modeling Lysis Dynamcis Of Pore Forming Toxins And Determination Of Mechanical Properties Of Soft Materials
(2015-08-07)Pore forming toxins are known for their ability to efficiently form transmembrane pores which eventually leads to cell lysis. PFTs have potential applications in devel-oping novel drug and gene delivery strategies. Although ... -
Modeling of Coalescence Cascades in Liquid-Liquid dispersions
Agitated dispersions of one liquid in another immiscible liquid invert at a critical value of dispersed phase fraction, nearly catastrophically. The dispersed phase becomes continuous and vice versa. This phenomenon has ... -
Modeling of phase inversion phenomenon
Turbulent liquid–liquid dispersions are frequently encountered in the chemical industry in various operations such as liquid–liquid extraction, liquid–liquid reactions, polymerization, and direct contact heat transfer. ... -
Modeling The Population Dynamics Of Erythrocytes To Identify Optimal Drug Dosages For The Treatment Of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
(2016-04-28)The current treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection – combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin – elicits sustained responses in only ~50% of the patients treated. Greater cumulative exposure ... -
Modelling and Experimental Studies on Dynamic Behaviour of Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
lectrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can store and deliver electrical energy at high power density with long cycle life, and can absorb peak charge/discharge loads. EDLCs can be used with batteries to insulate ... -
Modelling and optimization of novel therapies for HIV and hepatitis C virus infections
Curing infections by HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have remained a challenge for a long time due to their efficient ways of evading host immune responses and therapies. They do so by rapidly mutating their genomes, which ... -
Modelling Drop Size Distribution Evolution in Dispersion Devices through Multiple Breakup Modes
