Antifungal antibiotics by actinomycetes formation of champamycin - B By Streptomyces Champavatii
Presently, the chemotherapeutic treatment of the widely prevalent fungal infections in humans, animals and plants is far from satisfactory and is in marked contrast to that of bacterial diseases which are controlled successfully ... -
Theoretical studies in micropolar and viscoelastic fluids
We record below a summary of the results of our investigations. The linear micropolar fluid is a viscous fluid with five additional coefficients of viscosity, apart from the usual Newtonian fluid. In its flow behaviour it ... -
Analysis of some unsteady laminar boundary - layer flows using numerical methods
This thesis presents the analysis of the numerical investigations of some unsteady laminar incompressible boundary?layer flow problems. It consists of five chapters. The first chapter deals with a general introduction to ... -
Mangnetohydrodynamic flow and diffusion in channels or pipes with some physiological applications
Abstract not available -
The fate of phase transitions in VO2 on doping
Ever since its discovery more than six decades ago, thermally-induced insulator-metal transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide (VO2) has attracted much attention, not only because of its near-room temperature IMT at ~340 K, ... -
On The Theory of burning of monopropellant droplets
This thesis is concerned with theoretical investigations on some aspects of monopropellant droplet combustion. The burning characteristics have been obtained by solving the governing differential equations which are ... -
Some experimental investigations of the fine scale structure of turbulence
In this thesis some properties of the fine scale structure have been investigated experimentally. The terminology “fine scale structure” means, in the author's opinion, small eddies which are different from energy?containing ... -
Nonequilibrium wake flows
In order to study the memory of the larger eddies in turbulent shear flow, experiments have been conducted on plane turbulent wakes subjected to external pressure gradients. In some of these experiments the pressure gradient ... -
Design of a thermostable pan-sarbecovirus vaccine
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a global health threat due to their potential for widespread transmission including in humans. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent responsible for ... -
Quantization using Side-Information for Distributed Optimization: Theory and Practice
This thesis aims to systematically study the role of side-information for different problems arising in distributed quantization and optimization. In the first part of the thesis, we study a universal version of the ... -
Time-Series Prediction for Intent Aware Robot Learning
The study of time-series prediction and intent modeling forms a fundamental component of intelligent and adaptive systems in robotics and human–machine interaction. Accurately modeling temporal dependencies and anticipating ... -
Structure-Activity Correlation Studies of Mononuclear Mn(I) Carbonyl Complexes as Photoactive Carbon Monoxide Releasing Molecules
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a recognized gasotransmitter, similar to nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulphide (H₂S). It is endogenously produced in mammals as a result of haem catabolism, catalysed by haem oxygenase enzymes. ... -
Studies on the reactivity of dicopper (II) tetraacetate dihydrate towards N-donor ligands
Abstract not available -
Combustion synthesis and properties of fine particle oxide materials: studies on Ferrites
Synthesis of oxide materials with desired structure and properties is of prime importance in Solid State Chemistry and Materials Science. Since the discovery of superconductivity in oxide ceramics, there has been renewed ... -
Overcoming Processing Constraints in Organic Electronics: Crosslinking Strategies and Ultra-Thin Film Integration
The evolution of modern electronics has been dominated by Si-based technologies for many years, as they have enabled reliable, powerful, and compact devices. While the silicon-based technologies are powerful, they face ... -
Studies of Arabinomannan Glycans in Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions and Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Behavior
This thesis investigates the structural and functional roles of multivalency and self-assembly of arabinomannan-based glycoconjugates and glycolipids. Synthetic arabinomannan oligosaccharides were prepared, with defined ...
