Modeling the solar magnetic cycle
The intriguing variety of activities displayed by the Sun naturally awakens human curiosity. Also, by virtue of its physical proximity, the Sun serves as an excellent astrophysical laboratory for testing our theoretical ... -
Investigating Nucleosynthesis During Formation of Black Holes and Extracting Their Properties
Measurement of black hole spins is of great interest to physicists in general and to astrophysicists in particular, as this provides a direct proof of the theory of general relativity for rotating black holes. It involves ... -
Electronic analogue methods in X ray Crystallography
Among the advantages of the structure factor computer described here are the following: (i) Use of standard components throughout, and very little wiring requirements, thus ensuring great ease in mass production. (ii) Very ... -
High rydberg state recombination lines from interstellar carbon : an observational study
This thesis describes the results of an observational study of partially ionized gas in the Galaxy using low-frequency radio recombination lines of carbon, which arise due to electronic transitions at large quantum numbers ... -
Advanced wavefront sensing algorithms in astronomical adaptive optical syatems
Atmospheric turbulence limits the quality of imaging in ground-based astronomical telescopes (Hart; 2010). To obtain diffraction-limited imaging, there is a need for a technology that removes the effects of atmospheric ... -
Growth and study of certain physical properties of KTiOPO4 single crystals
The crystal growth of KTP (Potassium Titanyl Phosphate) from K?P?O?? solvent has been carried out by spontaneous crystallization as well as the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) technique. For TSSG, a crystal growth system ... -
Phase separation and dynamics of concentrated colloids : Diffusing wave spectroscopy and brownian dynamics simulations
The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the principal results and conclusions reported in this thesis and also to point out the scope of further work. The focus of this thesis is on static and dynamic aspects of the ... -
Low temperature study of electronic transport properties of certain highly resistive crystalline and quasicrystalline alloys
A Low Temperature Study of Electronic Transport Properties of Certain Highly Resistive Crystalline and Quasicrystalline Alloys Low temperature electronic transport in metals and alloys has been and continues to be a topic ... -
Cross polarisation dynamics in solid state nuclear magnetic resonance
In this chapter, Floquet theory was employed to describe the SAP (Selective Averaging Pulse) experiment. Restriction of the CP (Cross Polarization) contact time to part of the rotor period and the application of additional ... -
Studies on phase transitions in crystals
The present Raman spectroscopic observations of the mixed crystals of ammonium and potassium sulphate in the paraelectric phase show that as the concentrations of K? ions increase in the crystal, the frequency of totally ... -
Synthetic investigation in steroids
The thesis entitled “Synthetic Investigations in Steroids” consists of four chapters. Chapter I is a brief review on the total synthesis of aromatic steroids. The problems associated with the development of the total ... -
In vivo and in vitri biotransformation of terpenoids in rats
Terpenoids are ubiquitous in nature and living systems are exposed to these compounds. Although the metabolism of these compounds in mammals has been studied since the beginning of the century, the exhaustive investigation ...
