Single/double atom catalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications
Increasing energy demands along with environmental crises have motivated the extensive investigation of alternative high efficiency energy conversion and storage devices such as metal-air batteries, fuel cells and water ... -
Scalable Asynchrony-Tolerant PDE Solver for Multi-GPU Systems
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are used to model various natural phenomena and engineered systems. At conditions of practical interest, these equations are highly non-linear and demand massive computations. Current ... -
Enhancing the spin-orbit torque efficiency in Pt/CoFeB/Pt based perpendicularly magnetized systems
Controlling and switching magnetization by the process of current-induced torque has a considerable advantage in lower power consumption for a memory device and spin logic device application. For a heavy metal (HM) / ... -
Explainable and Efficient Neural Models for Natural Language to Bash Command Translation
One of the key goals of Natural Language Processing is to make computers understand natural language. Semantic Parsing has been one of the driving tasks for Natural Language Understanding. It is formally defined as the ... -
Self-Supervised Domain Adaptation Frameworks for Computer Vision Tasks
There is a strong incentive to build intelligent machines that can understand and adapt to changes in the visual world without human supervision. While humans and animals learn to perceive the world on their own, almost ... -
Higher-Order Assembly of Protein Protected Gold Nanoclusters using Supramolecular Host-Guest Chemistry: A 40% Absolute Fluorescence Quantum Yield
For the last few decades, cancer has been one of the major public health concerns, and the mortality rate has become significant worldwide. However, because of the blessing of science, the early detection of tumors and the ... -
Epitaxial Integration Of Functional Oxides On Silicon (100)
Epitaxial integration of BaTiO3 (BTO) and other functional oxides with (100) Si is essential to exploit their functional capabilities using the well-established Si-CMOS technological platform. However, such oxide integration ... -
Effect of Cobalt Content on Microstructure and Strength in Severely Cold Drawn Ni-Co wires
The future upcoming technologies in aerospace, transport and nuclear industries demand materials with superior mechanical properties that are also economically viable. The quest to achieve theoretical strength of material ... -
Reconstruction of temperature for Cenozoic and Proterozoic Ocean water using clumped isotope thermometry
Clumped isotope thermometry is a novel tool which is used for the determination of formation temperature for carbonates of diverse origin and understanding different marine and terrestrial processes. The primary interest ... -
Mechanistic insights into protein stabilization and protein-protein interactions
Most amino acid substitutions in a protein either lead to partial loss of function or are near neutral. Several studies have shown the existence of second-site mutations that can rescue the defects caused by diverse loss ... -
Panchromatic study of star clusters: binaries, blue lurkers, blue stragglers and membership
Binary systems can evolve into immensely different exotic systems such as blue straggle stars (BSSs), yellow straggler stars, cataclysmic variables, type Ia supernovae depending on their initial mass, the orbital ... -
Heterogeneous Integration of Device Grade Epitaxial Germanium on Silicon Platform using Laser-Induced Crystallization for Optoelectronic Applications
Integration of germanium on silicon platform has applications in III-V photovoltaics, integrated silicon photonics, high-speed transistors, etc. In this work, we have used laser-induced crystallization (LIC) to obtain ... -
Analyses of Performance, Risk and Underpricing of Indian IPOs
Across geographies, unlisted firms raise capital from individuals and institutions by issuing Initial Public Offering (IPO) through finanical markets. IPOs are of great interest to investors, regulators, issuing firms and ... -
Analytical Results on Disorder effects on Polaritons and Barrier Crossing Problems
Disorder plays a significant role in the study of numerous fields of research in chemistry. Whether it is a more that 80 years old classic problem like Kramers’ escape rate or the current interest in polaritons, disorder ... -
Studies on the roles of rffG and rfbB encoding dTDP-glucose 4,6- dehydratase in Salmonella Typhimurium
Salmonellosis is a major health concern which causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Infection with Salmonella Typhimurium leads to self-limiting diarrhea in healthy individuals and invasive disease in ... -
Structural, mechanistic and pharmacological studies of inhibitory neurotransmitter transporters
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). The synaptic levels of GABA are controlled by the activity of GABA transporters (GATs) present in the presynaptic ... -
