Crystal Structures of Sortase A from Streptococcus Penumoniae : Insights into Domain-Swapped Dimerization. Crystal Structures of Designed Peptides : Inhibitors of Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (hIAPP) Fibrillization Implicated in Type 2 Diabetes And Those Forming Self-Assembled Nanotubes
(2017-09-27)
Sortases are cell-membrane associated cysteine transpeptidases that are essential for the assembly and covalent anchoring of certain surface proteins to the cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria. Thus, they play critical ...
Issues in Phenomenology of Heavy Quarks And Leptons
(2017-09-26)
The Standard Model (SM) of the particle physics, based on the gauge group SU(3) ×SU(2)L × U(1)Y , has been a successful theory which provides consistent description of all phenomena ranging from the nuclear beta decay to ...
Spiral- And Scroll- Wave Dynamics In Ironically And Anatomically Realistic Mathematical Models For Mammalian Ventricular Tissue
(2017-05-24)
Cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), are among the leading causes of death in the industrialized world. There is growing consensus that these arrhythmias are associated ...
Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes Investigations of Binary-Fluid Turbulence and Droplet Dynamics
(2017-12-10)
The study of finite-sized, deformable droplets adverted by turbulent flows is an active area of research. It spans many streams of sciences and engineering, which include chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, statistical ...
Particles and Fields in Superfluid Turbulence : Numerical and Theoretical Studies
(2017-12-16)
In this thesis we study a variety of problems in superfluid turbulence, princi-pally in two dimensions. A summary of the main results of our studies is given below; we indicate the Chapters in which we present these.
In ...
Mechanical Properties and Self-Assembly of Nanostructures
(2017-12-12)
This thesis is devoted to the investigation of mechanical properties and self-assembly process of materials at the nanoscale. Various nanostructured materials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires and thin films are ...
A Study of Electrical Transport and 1 / f Noise in Topological Insulators
(2017-12-10)
The recent discoveries of topological insulators (TI) has opened a new realm for study¬ing topological systems and exploring the exotic properties they offer. The in-built topological protection against direct backscattering ...
Phoretic Motion of Colloids : Single Particle and Collective Behaviour
(2017-12-16)
In this thesis we have studied systems that driven by mechanisms broadly known as phoresis. More specifically, in the second chapter we calculate the excess noise in electrophoresis of a colloid due to microion fluctuations. ...
Charge Transport and Photo-Physical Studies in Conjugated Polymers, Hybrid Nanocomposites and Devices
(2017-12-12)
The main motivation of this thesis is derived from the fact that physics of disordered systems like conjugated polymer has yet not achieved as concrete understanding as ordered and crystalline systems such as inorganic ...
Shear Induced Transitions In Mixed Surfactant Systems And Anisotropic Colloids
(2017-06-12)
This thesis deals with the non-equilibrium phenomena under shear observed mainly in bilayer forming liquid crystalline phases of mixed surfactant systems, anisotropic colloidal dispersions as well as Langmuir monolayers ...
