Quasi-analytic Functions, Spherical Means, and Uncertainty Principles on Heisenberg Groups and Symmetric Spaces
This thesis has two parts. The first part revolves around certain theorems related to an uncertainty principle and quasi-analyticity. In contrast, the second part reflects a different mathematical theme, focusing on the ... -
Activin and TGF-β signaling: Differential role of a Serine/Threonine phosphate in the regulation of SMAD2 activity
Activins are the most prominent members of the Activin/Inhibin branch of the TGF-β superfamily. Similar to TGF-β, they play an essential role in regulating multiple physiological processes such as development, reproductive ... -
Search for dark matter produced in association with b-jets in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector using full Run2 data
A search for dark matter particles in the events containing large missing transverse energy accompanied by b-quarks has been performed. The data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the Large Hadron Collider ... -
Investigations on Polygonal Voltage Space Vector Structure generation with lower order harmonic suppression using switched capacitive filter throughout modulation range for Drive Applications
Multilevel inverters (MLI) are widely used in a host of industrial applications ranging from renewable energy systems, to electric vehicles, to distributed generation. Due to the switching nature of the output voltage, MLI ... -
Towards a Better Understanding of the Interaction between Phagocytic Immune Cells and Synthetic Particulates
Particulate technology has transformed the field of diagnostic and therapeutic medicine due to the ability of particulates to provide better contrast in various imaging modalities and improve the targeting of therapeutic ... -
First thorough characterization of the structure, interactions and specificity of an archeal lectin with implication for TB infection
Decades long studies on plant lectins carried out in this laboratory have contributed substantially to glycobiology and helped in the initiation and development of macromolecular crystallography in India. Subsequently the ... -
Roles of Drosophila Beadex and CG9650 in the development and functioning of the larval neuromuscular junctions
In eukaryotes, all voluntary and involuntary actions like, cognition, learning & memory, voluntary movements, feeding, etc., are coordinated by the employment of neuronal circuitry that transmits the signal from the ... -
Studies on modeling the mechanics of slender elastic ribbons
Ribbons are slender structures characterized by three disparate geometric dimensions: length >> width >> thickness. Such a dimensional disparity enables ribbons to bend, buckle, twist and crease response to simple loading ... -
Understanding the vertical structure of galactic stellar disc and the role of interstellar gas and dark matter halo
The aim of this thesis is to understand the dynamical effect of interstellar gas and dark matter halo on the vertical distribution of stars in our Galaxy as well as modeling the stellar distribution in a generalized and ... -
Molecular simulation of thermal conductivity in DNA and phonon dispersion in layered materials
Heat conduction plays a key role and is linked to the underneath lattice structure. The heat transfer in soft matter materials like DNA and polymers is seldom understood and is deeply linked to the geometry and functional ... -
A Platform for Handheld Ultrafast PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tools available today. Yet, it stands out of reach for many vulnerable populations because commercial solutions are expensive, bulky, ... -
Extraction of Creep Parameters from Indentation Creep Experiment: An Artificial Neural Network- Based Approach
Conventional methods for extracting creep properties require conducting several uniaxial tests at different loads, which consumes an intensive amount of material and time. Indentation may minimize the material volume ... -
