4D Printing of Polymer Composites to Engineer Resorbable and Deployable Implants
Medical implants include products that are used to replace or restore the function of any damaged organ or tissue inside the body. The current generation of implants are mostly made from non-degradable materials and are ... -
Mathematical and Computational Modelling Investigations of the Role of Trait Variation in Savanna-Woodland Bistable systems
Over the last decade, several studies have shown the importance of individual variation in natural populations. Theoretical ecological studies are beginning to incorporate trait variations in models, but they continue to ... -
Understanding the anticancer potential of inhibitor of BCL2, Disarib in Oral Cancer Cells and its Toxicological Evaluation in Rodents
Overexpression of BCL2 has been reported in several cancers, such as B-cell lymphomas, leukemias, colorectal adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and oral cancer, making it an excellent target for cancer treatment. ... -
Late Cenozoic climate reconstruction from the Northern Indian Ocean using foraminiferal clumped isotope thermometry and stable isotope technique
The Late Cenozoic era (23.03 million years ago to the present) offers a critical time window to examine the role of greenhouse gases, notably CO2 (ranging between 910 ppm and 180 ppm), in the operation of Earth's system ... -
Towards Practical High Throughput Laser-based Indoor Optical Wireless Communication Systems
Wireless communication has become an essential necessity in our day-to-day life with majority of these systems currently use radio frequency (RF) technology to transmit information. To meet the high end requirements, new ... -
Investigations on the invasiveness of chemo-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating gynecological malignancy wherein patients frequently develop resistance to the first-line chemotherapeutic drugs carboplatin and docetaxel, resulting in poor survival rates. ... -
Thermochemical Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Generate Hydrogen Rich Synthesis Gas for Hydrogen Production: An Experimental and Thermodynamic Study Using Oxy-Steam as The Gasification Agent
Hydrogen can help decarbonize and bring a paradigm shift in the global energy mix. Green hydrogen, with its potential to mitigate carbon emission, offers an inexhaustible supply – free from the constraint of finite reserves. ... -
Elucidating mechanisms regulating GC-C signalling in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second major cause of cancer death worldwide. Classical therapies for treating colorectal cancer are mostly nonspecific and, therefore, are associated ... -
Studies of Models of Superfluids from Nanometres to Astrophysical Scales
In this thesis, we study various models of superfluids applicable across a broad range of systems, from laboratory flows to astrophysical scales. At zero temperature, we utilize the Gross-Pitaevskii model of superfluid 4He ... -
Neuroimmune Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans: The Roles of the Amphid Sensory Neurons and Olfaction in Host Immune Responses
The ability of hosts to rapidly sense invading pathogens and mount an appropriate response is paramount for host survival. Pathogens, pervasive in the natural world, present a perpetual threat to host organisms. Examining ... -
Synthesis, characterization and morphology control of colloidal MoS2 quantum dots and their applications
The quantum dots (QDs) are known as artificial atoms due to their size of the order of 2-10 nm. After their discovery in 1980, QDs have attracted significant attention due to their enhanced optical, electronic, and chemical ... -
Dynamics of a Suspended Microchannel Resonator
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) mass sensing devices have a wide variety of applications in healthcare diagnostics and biosciences. Typically, mass sensing on a MEMS device works by physisorption and chemisorption ... -
Integrating magnetic swimmer with fluorescent color centers
Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds are of current interest as quantum sensors, single photon sources, and biological nano-materials due to their unique optical and spin properties, bio-compatibility, and robust ... -
Advancing the Communication Complexity Landscape of Perfectly Secure Multiparty Computation
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) allows n distrustful parties to jointly compute a function on their inputs while keeping their inputs private. The distrust is modelled as an adversary that controls up to t parties and ... -
Integration of Resonant Plasmonic Nanostructures with 2D Materials: Strategies and Applications beyond the Visible regime
Plasmonics deals with the interaction of incident electromagnetic waves with the free electron gas within metal nanostructures, enabling rapid signal processing and the confinement of light into subwavelength scales, leading ... -
Regulatory events governing host-C. albicans interaction: potential implications for wound healing
Regulatory events governing host-C. albicans interaction: potential implications for wound healing. Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that resides commensally in 50% of the world population and is known ... -
Explorations of singularities in some hydrodynamical partial differential equations
The global regularity problem for the 3D Euler equations remains unsolved. The presence of finite-time singularities (FTS) can signal the breakdown of the PDE as a physical model for fluid flow; it is also conjectured to ... -
Identifying novel molecular players involved in patterning the dorsal longitudinal muscles of Drosophila melanogaster
Pattern formation, a fundamental concept in developmental biology, describes how living systems organise complex structures from initially undifferentiated cells. This process, influenced by genetic information, underpins ... -
Targeting RNA with Drug-Like Small Molecules and Fluorescent Probes for Mapping Cell Fate
Part A Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays a central role in various essential functions such as cellular information transfer and gene regulations in living organisms.1 Recent studies have shown that RNA is involved in various ... -
Zero-Knowledge Proofs with Enhanced Deniability
In cryptography, deniability is a crucial concept that allows a participant to plausibly deny taking part in executing a scheme or protocol. Non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proofs enable a party (the prover) to ...
