Boundary layer transition with and without lateral divergence
Information on the transition processes in turbomachine boundary layers is important in computing schemes for predicting blockage, flow losses, separation, etc. Actual transition on turbomachine blades does not conform to ... -
Experimental study of endwall flow in a compressor cascade
Improvement in calculating methods for end?wall boundary layers of blade rows can only come about by a greater understanding of the physics of the flow from which realistic models can be built of the terms that go into ... -
Studies on viscosity of mixtures of freon-12 and freon 22 vapours
The viscosity of pure Freon?12 and Freon?22 vapours, and their mixtures, has been determined using an oscillating?disc viscometer at room temperature and pressure. The results agree well with the published data for the ... -
Studies on viscosity of mixtures of some freon vapours
An oscillating disc viscometer is used for the determination of viscosity of Freon?12, Freon?22 and Freon?114 vapours and their binary and ternary mixtures at room temperature and pressure. The viscosity of Freon?12, ... -
Production of aromatic alcohols and hydroxy acids by candida species and the mode of action of aromatic alcohols
The thesis entitled “Alcohols and Hydroxy Acids by Candida Species and Their Mode of Action”, submitted by Mr. T. K. Narayanan for the Ph.D. degree of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore–560012, India. Yeasts, in ... -
Cyclic peptide disulfides as conformational models; synthesis and spectroscopic studies
The study of small peptides has been motivated both by the high biological activity manifested by many peptides and their potential use as model systems for understanding polypeptide and protein structure. The development ... -
conformational studies on hydrogen bonded cyclic hexapeptides
In the first place, the uniqueness of any MEC within a certain region demonstrates the successful incorporation of the hydrogen?bond energy function in a minimization program. In particular, its interpolation with the ... -
X-ray crystallographic studies on the structure and interactions of L-ascorbic acids
It is well known that non?covalent interactions endow biological systems with extreme subtlety and complexity. In fact, the structure and assembly of proteins, and the dynamical processes involved in their action, are ... -
CONFORMATION OF POLYNUCLEOTIDES
The conformations of the five?membered rings and other relevant conformational features of deoxyribose, ribose, and arabinose have been analysed in this chapter and in the preceding two chapters. The analysis included ... -
Spectroscopic studies on two biological amphiphiles: melittin and Birlirubin.
This thesis describes spectroscopic studies on two interesting biological amphiphiles, melittin and bilirubin. The former is a 26?residue polypeptide which comprises ~50% of the dry venom of honeybees. Melittin is cytotoxic ... -
Compact alwin grammar and algorithms for computer coding of organic chemical structures
Abstract not available -
Investigation of electrical and thermal transport in ultra-clean graphene
Since the discovery of graphene in the early 2000s, two-dimensional (2D) layered quantum materials have revolutionised the field of solid-state and condensed matter physics by enabling the exploration of strongly interacting ... -
Distinct Drivers of Type 2 Diabetes: A Systems Modeling Approach to Molecular, Genetic, and Metagenomic Insights
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a complex and heterogeneous disease characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and impaired insulin secretion. While often interrelated, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance represent ... -
Foreign colloboration in Indian Industry an economic analysis
Based on the findings of the study, an evaluation of the current foreign collaboration policy of the Indian government and recommendations for optimisation of results from such policies is attempted in this chapter. (i) ... -
The Shifting of corporation income tax in India : 1950-1965
The purpose of this study is to determine empirically the extent of the short?run shifting of the corporation income tax in India. To accomplish this, two single?equation models are developed, based on slight modifications ... -
Some thermal instrumentation for investigations on the critical phenomena in binary liquid systems

Effect of trade addition of tin on the isothermal and di- isothermal geing characteristic of anlminium- magnesium 0.26 silicon alloy
Pre?precipitation and precipitation processes in quenched supersaturated solid solutions of age?hardenable alloy systems are known to be vacancy?aided phenomena. The clustering kinetics would be significantly altered when ... -
Benificiation Studies on Low Grade Tungsten Dposits of Degana, Rajasthan
The unique high?temperature properties of tungsten and its alloys are responsible for increased demand for this metal, particularly in the forms of carbide and pure metal. It is also an important strategic material for ... -
Bioleaching of a lean grade chalcopyrite ore : studies on amenability and mechanisms
The role of bacteria in the leaching of mineral sulphides is discussed with respect to Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Column leaching studies were carried out on Malanjkhand lean?grade chalcopyrite ore samples using Thiobacillus ...
