Learning to Adapt Policies for uSD card
Machine Learning(ML) for Systems is a new and promising research area where performance of computer systems is optimized using machine learning methods. ML for Systems has outperformed traditional heuristics methods in ... -
Host responses in Fas-deficient autoimmune-prone lpr mice upon Salmonella Typhimurium infection
Autoimmune diseases can potentially pre-dispose an individual to infections. On the other hand, infections can trigger, exacerbate or ameliorate autoimmunity. Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic ... -
Determination of significance of SUMOylation of the Smc5/6 complex
The fascination of scientists to the Smc5/6 complex began in the 1990s, with the characterization of UV and γ radiation-sensitive rad18 mutant and its identification as a component of a novel Structural Maintenance of ... -
Exploring Entrepreneurial Motivations, Human Capital and Environmental Uncertainty As Antecedents of Causation and Effectuation
Entrepreneurship has been acknowledged as one of the most important drivers of growth and prosperity in modern times. Existing ways of life are creatively destroyed to make way for new ways of living. It is the process ... -
Suppression of epileptiform activity by lactate through HCA1 and GIRK channel activation in rat subicular pyramidal neurons
In the present study, we report a lactate-induced hyperpolarization and reduction of epileptiform activity in subicular weak burst firing and regular firing neurons using patch clamp electrophysiology. We showed the ... -
Droplet Microfluidics for Nucleic Acid Quantification and Single Cell Analysis
Droplet microfluidics provides controlled generation of monodispersed droplets of the order of a few picoliters in multiphase microfluidic systems. These droplets are employed as micro-reactors to conduct chemical/biochemical ... -
Prospects of Bioethanol from Estuarine Macroalgae
Burgeoning dependence on fossil fuels for transport and industrial sectors has been posing challenges such as depletion of fossil fuel reserves, enhanced greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint, and imminent changes in the climate, ... -
Response of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Elements to Various Mechanical Loads
Reinforced concrete (RC) is being used for a wide range of structural applications. In order to design safe and economical RC structural elements it is necessary to analyse these elements accounting for the realistic ... -
Novel Spectral Processing Methods in NMR – Wavelet Transform and Pattern Based Analysis
NMR spectroscopy provides a variety of information leading to an understanding of the properties of different materials. To extract this information from the experiments, one needs to have noise and artifacts free spectra ... -
Ultrafast Study of Layered 3D Topological Insulators, Graphene-Gold Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructure and Ultrathin Gold Nanowires
In a typical time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, ultrafast laser pulses (pulse width ~ 100 fs) are utilized to induce a perturbation in the material of study within a time much shorter than the characterisitic lifetime ... -
Co-continuous microstructures through spinodal decomposition in ternary systems: A phase field study
We have studied spinodal decomposition which leads to a three-phase microstructure in ternary alloys using computer simulations based on the ternary Cahn-Hilliard equations. All the alloys we have studied are in the same ... -
Thin Film Electronics on Edible Substrates
The recent years have seen the development biocompatible ingestible and implantable devices for human health monitoring. The major issue is the toxicity of the organic materials (polymers) used in the implants and consequently ... -
Practically Efficient Secure Small Party Computation over the Internet
Secure Multi-party Computation (MPC) with small population has drawn focus specifically due to customization in techniques and resulting efficiency that the constructions can offer. Practically efficient constructions ... -
Investigation of the Thermoelectric Properties of Single and Double Substituted Cu12Sb4S13 Tetrahedrite
According to the current energy consumption, out of the total energy supplied as input in various sources such as power plants, factories, automobiles, etc., only around 30% of the energy is converted to useful work. The ... -
Development of New Synthetic Methodologies for Selenocysteine, Selenopeptides and β-Seleno Amino Acids”
thesis mainly describes the synthesis and characterization of novel selenium-containing amino acids for their potential application in redox reactions. Several β-seleno-α-amino acids have been synthesized and fully ... -
A Method of Designing an Intelligent Public Transportation System in Metropolitan Area Using Emergent Intelligence
Metropolitan area consists of huge population density, one or more urban areas, satellite cities, rural areas and towns. It highly concentrates economic activities to attract people from rural areas and is a complex ... -
On the Structure and Propagation of Premixed Flames in Turbulence
Turbulence interacts with flames over a multitude of lengthscales and timescales. These interactions are nonlinear and are ubiquitous, for example, in propulsion engines operating in space, air, land, and sea. ... -
Comparative evaluation of retrograde regulatory proteins (Rtg1p, Rtg2p, and Rtg3p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris and identification of P. pastoris RtgXp as a novel regulator of multiple metabolic pathways
Our work demonstrates for the first time that PpRtgXp, a basic, helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein, is a global regulator of carbon metabolism. PpRtgXp constitutively localizes inside the nucleus. Despite lacking the C-terminal ... -
Application of Experience Mapping based Predictive Controller (EMPC) for Under-damped and Unstable Systems
Experience Mapping based Predictive Controller (EMPC) is a concept based on the principle of Human Motor Control, that was earlier developed and applied to control a well damped Type 1 system. In this thesis, the concepts ... -
