Lab Experiment Documenting Growth of Microbes in an Extreme Condition
Bacterial population during 3.2 billion years of early earth was responsible for modifying the greenhouse gas concentration in the early earth. Here we studied the primitive facultative anaerobe E.coli K12, known to contain ... -
Design and Synthesis of Low Band Gap Ambient Stable Organic Semiconductors for Photovoltaics
Organic photovoltaics is a fast-developing technology and has the potential to revolutionize the energy market. In the recent years, high photoconversion efficiency has been achieved through continuous efforts on design ... -
Insights into Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells to Cardiac Progenitors and Cardiomyocytes
The mammalian heart is the first organ formed during development. It forms the crux of the circulatory system of the body and pumps blood (and therefore, nutrients) to all parts of the body. The continuous functioning of ... -
Nano-mechanical, optical and structural property correlations in binary, ternary, and quaternary tellurium-based chalcogenide glasses
Over a half century, from the advent of chalcogenide glasses, it was used for various applications like xerography, phase change memories (PCM), solar cells, infrared devices and so on. These applications made use of some ... -
Magnetic and Dielectric Properties of Half Doped RMnO3 (R = Y, Tb)
For the last few decades, the physics of doped perovskite manganite’s (RMnO3) has been an area of intense research due to their interesting physical and electronic properties. Various exciting phenomena such as, colossal ... -
Molecular Analysis of the Pore Forming Mechanism of an α-Helical Cytolysin
Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are lytic membrane binding proteins that are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom and disrupt the structural integrity of the host cell membrane. A unique characteristic of these toxins is that ... -
Designing Solutions to Some of the Issues in Ubiquitous Networks
The inception of ubiquitous computing goes back to late eighties, when the Research at the Xerox Palo Alto Research (PARC) started designing ubiquitous environment under the guidance of Mark Weiser. Ubiquitous computing ... -
Role of Gypsum in Stabilisation of Expansive Soil with Lime/Fly Ash-A Micro-Mechanistic Study
Stabilization of expansive soils with various calcium–based stabilizers (lime and cement) directly or in combinations with other solid waste materials such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) etc. ... -
On the spatio-temporal distribution of stable isotope ratios in the hydrological cycle over India and the Southern Ocean
The isotopic composition of water vapor and precipitation at continental and oceanic sites depends on factors such as: the geographical location of the sampling site, meteorological conditions at the moisture source ... -
Genetic control of Embryonic and Adult muscle development in Drosophila melanogaster by Mlp60A
Many genetic regulatory networks are required to define the overall characters in a living organism. Characters which are necessary for survival in the wild are often canalized, such that despite genetic and environmental ... -
Deep Learning for Bug Localization and Program Repair
In this thesis, we focus on the problem of program debugging and present novel deep learning based techniques for bug-localization and program repair. Deep learning techniques have been successfully applied to a variety ... -
An experimental study on thermoelectric transport at van der Waals interfaces
When two planar atomic or molecular layers are brought to sub-nanometer proximity, they form a van der Waals interface because the van der Waals force forms the dominant attractive force between them. The van der Waals ... -
Improvement of High Temperature Strength of Al and Co Alloy by L12 Type Coherent Precipitates
The present work aims at developing a new class of high temperature alloys based on ordered intermetallic compound that forms coherently with the matrix during solid state transformation. The chosen intermetallics have ... -
Raman Microspectroscopic Studies on Differentiating Bacteria, Detecting Antimicrobial Resistance and Delineating Biomarkers of Sepsis
Over the last few decades, the development of several new techniques as well as sophisticated instruments have contributed to a better understanding of biological systems. Among these, Raman spectroscopy has emerged as an ... -
Investigation of Switching mechanism, Thermal, Electrochemical and Structural properties of Solid Electrolytic, Superionic α-AgI based Silver Molybdate glass for Resistive Memory (RRAM) Applications
Developing efficient, fast performing and thermally stable AgI-Ag2O-MoO3glasses are of great interest for Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) applications; however there many challenges such as metallization in bulk, ... -
