Deterministic Two Stage Clonal Expansion Model of Breast Cancer Epidemiology and its Utility for Optimal Screening Policies in India
Breast cancer (BC) has emerged as public health issue in India in last two decades sur-passing cervix cancer. Mortality from breast cancer is 30-40% higher than maternal causes. Breast cancer 5 year survival rates are ... -
Effects Of Disorder On Physical Properties Of Selected Transition Metal Oxides
(2013-02-14)Disorder in materials often brings in new and exotic physical properties along with it. It is thus very important to study different kinds of disorder and their implications on various material properties. In this thesis, ... -
Effects of Strong Electron-Electron Correlations on Band Insulators in Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium
In this thesis, several aspects of correlation effects in band insulators that were hitherto not addressed, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium, are studied using the Ionic Hubbard model (IHM) at half-filling and ... -
First principles study of the structural, electronic, elastic, mechanical, thermal, and vibrational properties in pyrochlores and temperature-dependent phonon properties in pyrochlores and SrTiO3 perovskite
In this thesis, first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to study the structural, electronic, elastic, mechanical, and thermal properties in a series of pyrochlore materials. The vibrational ... -
Flocks, Flow and Fluctuations in Inanimate Matter : Simulations and Theory
In this thesis we study a novel soft-matter system that imitates motility. Our system consists of a few asymmetrically tapered brass rods and aluminium beads which are confined between two vertically shaking plates. The ... -
The role of quantum fluctuations in the t-J model: Implications for cuprate superconductors
The physics of strongly correlated electron systems is among the central problems of condensed matter physics. One of the outstanding problems in this category is that of the high-Tc superconductivity obtained by doping ... -
Spectral And Transport Properties Of Falicov-Kimball Related Models And Their Application To Manganites
(2010-03-26)From the time of the unexpected discovery of the insulating nature of NiO by Verwey half a century ago, Oxide materials have continued to occupy the centre stage of condensed matter physics. The recent discovery of high ... -
Structural, Electronic And Vibrational Properties Of n-layer Graphene With And Without Doping : A Theoretical Study
(2011-07-11)Graphene – a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of sp2-bonded carbon atoms – has been attracting a great deal of research interest since its first experimental realization in 2004, due to its various novel properties and ... -
Theoretical Study Of Some Transport And Spectroscopic Phenomena In Two Materials Showing Large Magnetoresistance
(2009-07-09)In this thesis I present studies of some transport and spectroscopic properties for two di erent materials exhibiting large magnetoresistance. Both of these materials are oxides of transition metals, showing exotic magnetic ...
