Microengineered Force Sensors and Haptic Feedback System for Catheter Contact Force
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) pursues the highest attention in various medical procedures globally because of the reduced complicated process compared with traditional surgery, short postprocedural convalescence, and ... -
Investigation of thermoelectric properties of Sn-Te based alloys with microstructural studies
The basic concept of thermoelectricity is the conversion of dissipated heat into electricity with applications in the areas such as automobile engineering, refrigerating coolants, satellites, etc. The thermoelectric figure ... -
Spatially Adaptive Regularization for Image Restoration
Image restoration/reconstruction refers to the estimation of an underlying image from measurements generated by imaging devices. This problem is generally ill-posed since the measurements are corrupted by the physical ... -
Unraveling certain high energy astrophysical features based on advective accretion disks
The presence of an accretion disk around a neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH) is mainly responsible for the observed X-rays from the night sky. NS or BH is a part of the binary systems, and matter flows from a companion ... -
Mechanics of collective cell migration on substrates of different stiffness
Collective cell migration is characteristic in many physiological processes such as wound closure, morphogenesis, and cancer tumour metastasis. Experiments on cell monolayers demonstrated the formation of finger-like ... -
Regulation of carbon metabolism in Pichia pastoris by Mxr1p and identification of novel regulators
Pichia pastoris (a.k.a. Komagataella phaffii), a widely used yeast for recombinant protein production, is cultured under a variety of conditions ranging from shake flasks to large bioreactors employing minimal, chemically ... -
Droplet Isothermal Amplification For Nucleic Acid Quantification
Nucleic acid quantification (NAQ) is extensively employed for gene expression analysis, monitoring viral loads, detecting rare or dysfunctional cells, and assessing treatment regimes. The gold standard, quantitative ... -

On the development of Fe-containing high entropy alloys with improved strength at high temperatures
The emergence of new multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEA) has opened up new avenues for development of high performance materials for structural applications [1]. Among all of them, the precipitation strengthened HEAs ... -
Steady Sedimentation of Particles in Long Vertical Tube and Effect of End Boundary Conditions on Convective Motion
Sedimentation – settling of particles in a fluid- is observed in nature like rain droplets and dust particles in the atmosphere, and in a variety of industrial processes, like to clarify liquid as well as separate particles ... -
The multiphase interstellar medium: A study of various physical and kinematical properties
Interstellar medium (ISM) is the relatively empty space in between the stars. It has different phases, like, neutral, molecular, and ionized. Neutral interstellar medium, which is pervaded all over the galaxy, is sometimes ... -
Exploring Nature's Inventory: Investigating the Role of Amide to Thioamide Substitution on Protein Stability
The peptide backbone holds a protein together and plays a crucial role in guiding its three-dimentional structure. The tertiary structure of proteins regulates several biological processes. Therefore, peptide bond modification ... -
Role of Friction in Microswimmer and Active Filament Motion
Friction is pervasive in all fields of science. It is the key factor that emerging technologies involving autonomous motion at micron scales such as micro-bots need to overcome in order to be efficient. They fall in the ... -
Identification, characterization, structure, and assembly of type III toxin-antitoxin systems from Escherichia coli
