Multi-faceted modular interactions in proteins
All living systems are composed of plethora of biomolecules. There are various types of biomolecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA, carbohydrates and metabolites. All the reactions in a biological system involve interactions ... -
Functional characterization of Salmonella Typhimurium encoded Cold Shock Protein E during stress responses, biofilm formation and virulence
Overall, this study reports novel functional roles of S. Typhimurium encoded CspE during bile resistance, biofilm formation and in vivo virulence. It also establishes importance of an uncharacterised protein YciF, implicating ... -
Structure-Property Correlation in Binary Immiscible Polymer Blends Compatibilized by Mutually Miscible Homopolymer and Carbonaceous Nanoparticles
The thesis systematically studies the various morphology, mechanical properties, crystallization kinetics and compatibilization effects of homopolymers, carbonaceous nanoparticles such as multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), ... -
Nanostructured Metal Oxide Semiconductor Gas Sensor
Gas sensors play a vital role in today’s world; be it in pollution monitoring, breath analysis, food quality monitoring or in agriculture. A variety of methods are being explored to develop reliable gas sensor systems such ... -
Effect of processing on texture and microstructure in Aluminium-Lithium alloys and its consequences on mechanical properties
Lightweight Aluminium -Lithium based alloys have high potential for use in aerospace structural components. However, large anisotropy in mechanical properties restricts the use of these alloys. The alloy AA2195 (Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Ag-Zr) ... -
Thermoelectric Investigations of Si/β-FeSi2 composite
This thesis focuses on thermoelectric properties of environmentally friendly, cheap and non-toxic Si/β-FeSi2 composite materials. Although thermoelectric power generation is reliable and environmentally friendly technology ... -
Cocrystallization Studies Extending from Small Molecules to Proteins: a) Cocrystals, Salts and Eutectics, b) Chemical, Structural and Biological Evaluation of Anthrapyrazolones as Inhibitors of JNK proteins
In summary, we have designed and synthesized three halogenated derivatives of 1,9- pyrazoloanthrone. The involvement of halogen bonding provides highly directional interactions in the binding pocket and hence demonstrates ... -
Insights into the Differential Cytotoxicity of Abrin and Design of a Vaccine Candidate against the Toxin
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) from plants, fungi or bacteria are extremely lethal due to their N-glycosidase activity on eukaryotic ribosomal RNA. As the name indicates, these toxins inactivate ribosomes; thereby ... -
Absorptive Capacity, Cluster Level Interactions, Innovation and Performance of Firms in the High-tech Manufacturing Cluster of Bengaluru
Researchers have identified absorptive capacity, which is a measure of dynamic capability of a firm, as one of the critical factors that drives interactions of a firm with other firms and associated institutions within and ... -
Influence of Western Ghats Orography on Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Rainfall over South Asia
The Western Ghats (WG) orography that runs along the western coast of peninsular India, is a long and narrow mountain chain with an average height of about 1200 meters. The orientation of this orography is approximately ... -
Characterization of Corneal Lens of Drosophila melanogaster and its Genetic Mutants using Atomic Force Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope
Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly) is a widely used model organism for the study of human disease condition and genetic pathways due to the high degree of gene conservation between fly and human. The compound eyes of ... -
Algorithms for Multilingual IR in Low Resource Languages using Weakly Aligned Corpora
Multilingual information retrieval (MLIR) methods generally rely on linguistic resources such as dictionaries, parallel corpora, etc., to overcome the language barrier. For low resource languages without these resources, ... -
Integrating Read-Copy-Update Synchronization and Memory Allocation
The evolution of multicore systems with thousands of cores has led to the exploration of non-traditional procrastination-based synchronization techniques such as Read-Copy- Update (RCU). Deferred destruction is the ... -
Development of wrought Mg-Li based alloys with improved strength and ductility
A comprehensive investigation has been undertaken to develop cold rolled Mg-Li based alloys with tensile properties superior to the existing commercial or experimental Mg-Li based alloys. In this endeavor, melting and ... -
Quality-quantity trade off during antibody production and the design of optimal passive immunization protocols
Passive immunization has been used classically to rapidly clear antigen and reduce disease burden. Surprisingly, recent studies have found passive immunization to induce lasting improvements in the humoral response, ... -
Denoising and Refinement Methods for 3D Reconstruction
Capturing raw 3D data from the real world is the initial step for many 3D reconstruction pipelines in different computer vision applications. However, due to inaccuracies in measurement and oversimplification in mathematical ... -
Environmental Behaviour of Indian ICT consumers in the context of e-waste: An Exploratory Study
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) or simply, electronic waste (e-waste), is a rather recent addition to the waste landscape. Nevertheless, growing incomes and rapid technological advancement has turned e-waste ... -
