A Radio Study Of Gas Loss Processes In Nearby Galaxies
(2008-10-17)The work in this thesis involves detailed multi-frequency radio continuum (from 325 MHz to 15 GHz) and Hi spectroscopic studies of a few represent tative nearby galaxies which are experiencing gas-loss from their disks ... -
Raman Spectroscopy Of Graphene And Graphene Analogue MoS2 Transistors
(2016-06-18)The thesis presents experimental studies of device characteristics and vibrational properties of atomic layer thin graphene and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). We carried out Raman spectroscopic studies on field effect ... -
Raman Studies of Topological Crystalline Insulator, Natural Heterostructures, Excitonic Insulator and Layered Oxide Under Pressure
The theme of this thesis is Raman spectroscopic study of a variety of exotic states of matter under extreme conditions, such as, hydrostatic pressure as high as 25 GPa and a wide temperature range from 77 K to 390 K. Raman ... -
Raman Study of gated devices in two-dimensional materials and pressure effects
This thesis presents Raman study of 2D materials of contemporary interests: 2H-MoTe_2, type-II Weyl semimetal (T_d-MoTe_2), structurally anisotropic semiconductors (1T'-ReX_2 (X=S, Se)) and Mott insulator (FePS_3) under ... -
Randall-Sundrum Model as a Theory of Flavour
(2018-04-11)The discovery of the Higgs boson by the LHC provided the last piece of the puzzle neces- sary for the Standard Model (SM) to be a successful theory of electroweak scale physics. However there exist various phenomenological ... -
Rapid light sheet fluorescence microscopy for dynamic imaging of living organisms
The primary goal of this thesis is to develop a light sheet based microscopy system that provides non-invasive images having high spatial and temporal resolution. The fluorescence microscopy has become an indispensable ... -
Rapid Lightsheet Volume Imaging For Developmental Biology
Optical fluorescence microscopy is one of the key tool, that is indispensable for the study of complex and dynamic biological processes. Key issues associated with the existing fluorescence imaging systems are, ... -
Recognition of Structures, Functions and Interactions of Proteins of Pathogens : Implications in Drug Discovery
(2018-07-14)Significant advancements in genome sequencing techniques and other high-throughput initiatives have resulted in the availability of complete sequences of genomes of a large number of organisms, which provide an opportunity ... -
Relative Symplectic Caps, Fibered Knots And 4-Genus
(2014-04-07)The 4-genus of a knot in S3 is an important measure of complexity, related to the unknotting number. A fundamental result used to study the 4-genus and related invariants of homology classes is the Thom conjecture, proved ... -
Representations of Special Compact Linear Groups of Order Two : Construction, Representation Growth, Group Algebras and Branching Laws
Let o be the ring of integers of a non-Archimedean local field such that the residue field has characteristic p: Let p be the maximal ideal of o: For Char¹oº = 0; let e be the ramification index of o: i.e., 2o = pe: Let ... -
Resistance Fluctuations And Instability In Metal Nanowires
(2009-03-13)The principal aim of this thesis is to study the electrical transport properties of metal nanowires. Specifically, we have focussed on investigating the resistance fluctuations of Ag and Cu nanowires of diameters ranging ... -
Resonant Excitation Of Ions In Paul Trap Mass Spectrometer
(2007-12-29)A Paul trap mass spectrometer has a three-electrode geometry mass analyzer consisting of two identical end cap electrodes and a ring electrode. Traditionally, the two end cap electrodes are electrically grounded and an RF ... -
Ricci Flow And Isotropic Curvature
(2014-09-03)This thesis consists of two parts. In the first part, we study certain Ricci flow invariant nonnegative curvature conditions as given by B. Wilking. We begin by proving that any such nonnegative curvature implies nonnegative ... -

Riesz Transforms Associated With Heisenberg Groups And Grushin Operators
(2015-12-08)We characterise the higher order Riesz transforms on the Heisenberg group and also show that they satisfy dimension-free bounds under some assumptions on the multipliers. We also prove the boundedness of the higher order ... -
Rigidity And Regularity Of Holomorphic Mappings
(2015-07-16)We deal with two themes that are illustrative of the rigidity and regularity of holomorphic mappings. The first one concerns the regularity of continuous CR mappings between smooth pseudo convex, finite type hypersurfaces ... -
Risk-Sensitive Stochastic Control and Differential Games
This thesis studies risk-sensitive stochastic optimal control and differential game problems. First, we study risk-sensitive stochastic differential games for controlled reflecting diffusion processes in a smooth bounded ... -
