Studies on BODIPY-conjugates of Copper and Zinc for Cellular Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy
Cancer is a dreadful disease that occurs due to the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Though there are different therapeutic modalities available for cancer, chemotherapy is considered as the most practiced method. ... -
Searches for Higgs boson pair production in bbbb and bbgammagamma final states at Compact Muon Solenoid detector
The discovery of the Higgs boson makes the Standard Model (SM) a promising theory to understand fundamental physics. Despite its progress, the theory does not explain many observed phenomena such as dark matter and hierarchy ... -
Neural Models for Personalized Recommendation Systems with External Information
Personalized recommendation systems use the data generated by user-item interactions (for example, in the form of ratings) to predict different users interests in available items and recommend a set of items or products ... -
Investigation of DC and AC Charge Transport in Semiconducting Polymers and Devices
Semiconducting polymer materials have several applications in electronics and optoelectronic devices. The charge transport in these complex systems is yet to be fully understood to optimize the performance of the devices. ... -
Synthesis of Amyloidogenic Peptides and Endosomolytic Peptides for Functional and Intracellular Protein Delivery Studies.
Over the past few decades, peptide research gained lot of prominence due to their extensive usage in and across domains ranging from biomedical to bio-material science. This thesis deals with two different types of peptides ... -
How are visual object representations organized and used to perform tasks ?
We rely heavily on vision for our daily activities, and around 40% of our brain is dedicated to vision. It is known that during a visual task, the visual information falling on the retina is processed in a hierarchy of ... -
Atomization characteristics of alternative aviation biofuels, Jet A-1, and water from a hybrid airblast atomizer
Studies on the atomization of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) from aircraft engine atomizers are essential to replace the present fossil type jet fuel to counter the rise in aviation-caused CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. ... -
Probing Protein Sequence-Function Relationships using Deep Mutational Scanning
Deep Mutational Scanning (DMS) approaches help elucidate sequence-function-phenotype relationships in proteins, which ultimately improves our understanding of residue (or nucleotide)-specific contributions to protein ... -
Deep Learning in Computer Vision: Studies in Neuro-image Segmentation and Satellite Image Super-resolution
Single image super-resolution (SR) has been a topic of great interest in the computer vision and deep learning community and has found applications in many areas including quality enhancement of satellite images. As the ... -
Activity-travel behavior modeling of pilgrims in mass religious gatherings
The number of participants in mass gatherings like Kumbh Mela is ever increasing. Simulations for pre-event crowd modeling, risk assessment, and control planning can help set up robust crowd management and control mechanisms. ... -
Design and Analysis of a Re-Entrant Microwave Cavity and Its Application for a High-Performance Accelerometer
Accelerometers with high resolution are required for tracking and navigation in launch vehicles, spacecrafts, missiles and other strategic applications. Pendulous integrating gyroscopic accelerometer and force balanced ... -
Studies on Pressurized Solar Thermal Receiver and Thermal Energy Storage System
High-efficiency power cycles for concentrating solar power (CSP) technology such as air or supercritical carbon-dioxide (s-CO2) based Brayton cycle require high-pressure high-temperature conditions at the gas turbine ... -
Investigation of Thin Films for Frequency Selective Surface Based Radar Absorbing Structures
Modern day stealth aircraft uses microwave absorbers for absorption of incident Radar signals transmitted by rival aircraft. Recently, several attempts were made to fabricate radar absorbing structures (RAS) of various ... -
Extending Aryne Chemistry: Application to Insertion Reactions, Multicomponent Couplings, Molecular Rearrangements and Arylation Reactions
Arynes are highly reactive electrophilic intermediates, which can be utilized in various carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions including pericyclic reactions, insertion reactions, multicomponent couplings (MCCs), molecular ... -
Physical insights into unstart dynamics of a hypersonic mixed compression intake
Hypersonic air-breathing cruise vehicles powered by supersonic combustion ramjet engines are the potential candidate for future space and defense applications. The air intake of the scramjet engine is a vital component ... -
An Application of Resonant Column along with Bender Elements Tests for Assessing Dynamic Properties and Liquefaction Potential of Sand
For determining the response of foundation soils subjected to different kinds of vibrations emerging from (i) an occurrence of an earthquake, (ii) movements of trains over railways tracks, (iii) running of vehicles over ... -
Understanding the role of hydrogen sulfide in regulating redox homeostasis and inflammation during cellular senescence
Aging involves the time-dependent deterioration of physiological functions, which can be attributed to various factors. Cellular senescence has been shown to be akin to aging, which involves alteration in redox homeostasis ... -
Epistasis Detection and Phenotype Prediction in GWAS Using Machine Learning Methods
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to find the association between genetic variants, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), and phenotypic traits or diseases in a population. The number of GWAS has increased ... -
Revealing Disocclusions in Temporal View Synthesis
We consider the problem of temporal view synthesis, where the goal is to predict a future video frame from the past frames using knowledge of the depth and relative camera motion. The problem has applications in frame rate ... -
