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. ... -
Engineering the N-Glycosylation Pathway in Pichia Pastoris for the Expression of Glycoprotein Hormones
(2018-01-15)Proteins, participating in a myriad of biological function, are at the core of all cellular activities occurring within living organisms. Therapeutic proteins, hence constitute a major part of the pharmaceutical industry. ... -
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 ... -
An Application Of Cybernetic Principles To The Modeling And Optimization Of Bioreactors
(2017-07-10)The word cybernetics has its roots in the Greek word \kybernetes" or \steers-man" and was coined by Norbert Wiener in 1948 to describe \the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine". The discipline ... -
Studies On Fabrication And Characterisation Of TiO2 Based Dye-Sensitised Solar Cells
(2017-07-10)Photovoltaic cells are a promising solution to the current energy crisis. Among the different photovoltaic cell technologies developed, dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC) are emerging as viable low-cost alternatives to Si ... -
Computational Study Of Long Chain N-alkane Binary Mixture Adsorption In Silicalite Under Conditions Of High Loading
(2017-05-21)The study of adsorption of n-alkanes in zeolite pores represents both a fundamental problem in molecular thermodynamics and also a problem with substantial industrial importance. Until mid 19th century, adsorption was ... -
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 ... -
Experimental Determination And New Correlations For Multi-Component Solid Solubilities In Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
(2016-03-02)The fluids that are operated above their critical temperature and pressure are known as supercritical fluids (SCFs). SCFs replaces the conventional organic solvents in the chemical processes due to their attractive ... -
Confinement, Coarsening And Nonequilibrium Fluctuations In Glassy And Yielding Systems
(2016-02-17)One of the most important and interesting unsolved problems of science is the nature of glassy dynamics and the glass transition. It is quite an old problem, and starting from the early20th century there have been many ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Defluoridation Of Drinking Water Using Activated Alumina
(2013-05-20)Excess fluoride (F-) in drinking water poses a health threat to millions of people around the world. In the present work, activated alumina (AA) has been used as an adsorbent. Data obtained from batch experiments were ... -
Development Of Ionic Catalysts For The Water-gas Shift Reaction And Exhaust Gas Purification
(2013-04-04)Treatment of fuel cell feed H2 for the removal of CO is important owing to the poisoning of the catalysts, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell. Strong and preferential adsorption of CO over the catalyst takes ... -
