Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation Using Modified Nano Zero Valent Iron Particles
Rapid industrialization has boosted economic growth but also increased contaminants in air, water, and soil. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste and industrial effluents has rendered many groundwater sources unfit ... -
Designing Quality of Service aware Serverless Platforms
Serverless computing is a widely used Cloud computing service offering that provides users with managed runtimes to develop their business logic as functions. It supports eventdriven execution of functions and a powerful ... -
Foaming of Surface Waterbodies: A Comprehensive Study on Causes, Persistence, Seasonality, and Mitigation Strategies
Foaming waterbodies have emerged as a significant global concern due to their adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems, offensive odour emissions, disruption of daily activities in nearby areas, and visual unpleasantness. ... -
Design of Placement Delivery Arrays for Shared Cache and Multi-antenna Coded Caching Problems
Caching has been considered as a promising technique to handle the exponential growth of wireless data traffic. The caches distributed across the network are utilized to shift some of the peak-hour traffic to off-peak ... -
Study of Optical Coupling of Excitons & Trions in Colloidal Quantum Wells with Photonic Metasurface Resonators & Microcavities
Quantum photonics held immense potential for applications such as quantum metrology and cryptography. In this thesis, we investigated the optical properties of colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) integrated with photonic ... -
Aeroacoustic Sources in Twin Turbulent Jets
An understanding of the aeroacoustics of twin turbulent jets is essential for applications involving noise reduction in dual engine aircrafts and launch vehicles. The aeroacoustic dynamics of these jets are influenced ... -
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 ... -
