Proposals for probing BSM in unexplored corners of Top physics and Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM)
Despite its triumphs, the Standard Model (SM) fails to address many experimental observations and theoretical puzzles. Explanation of these necessitates postulation of new physics beyond those in the SM (BSM). The thesis ... -
Distinct extracellular signatures of active-dendritic chemical and electrical synapses differentially contribute to ripple-frequency oscillations
Extracellular field potentials across brain regions exhibit distinct signatures that depend on several region-specific attributes, including spatiotemporal patterns of afferent inputs, anatomical and physiological properties ... -
PyGraph: Compiler Support for Efficient and Transparent Use of CUDA Graphs
CUDA Graphs --- a recent hardware feature introduced for NVIDIA GPUs --- aim to reduce CPU launch overhead by capturing and launching a series of GPU tasks (kernels) as a DAG. However, deploying CUDA Graphs faces several ... -
Mechanisms and mechanics of mixed-mode (I/II) fracture of magnesium alloys
Magnesium alloys are considered as a desirable substitute for aluminium alloys in automotive structural components due to their high strength-to-weight ratio which is crucial for improving vehicle performance and fuel ... -
Thyroid Hormones and their Analogues: Synthesis, Reactivity and Cell Membrane Transport Studies
