Biochemical and functional characterisation of cyclic AMP-binding, universal stress proteins from mycobacteria
The genus Mycobacterium harbours several pathogenic species, including M. tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, which alone is responsible for nearly 1.3 million deaths globally every year. Understanding the ... -
An Evaluation of the Mechanical Behavior of some new High Temperature Materials
Two new high-temperature alloy systems have been discovered recently at the Indian Institute of Science, which form the basis of this thesis. The first alloy system is an Intermetallic-Intermetallic eutectic composite ... -
Regulation of Hepatitis C Virus life-cycle by lncRNA HULC: crosstalk with other host factors
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense single-stranded RNA virus. It belongs to the family Flaviviridae and the genus hepacivirus. Following the receptor-mediated endocytosis, HCV genome is released into the cytoplasm, ... -
Development of an efficient domain decomposition algorithm for solving large stochastic mechanics problems
With the growth of computational resources available, demand on the accuracy and speed of simulation is steeply increasing. Accordingly, accounting for the variabilities in the simulations plays a pivotal role in taking ... -
Design of Novel Protocols for Chiral Analysis and Exploring Hydrogen Bond Directed Conformations
The research work reported in this thesis is focused on the chiral analysis and exploring hydrogen bonding. In chiral analysis, the study is aimed at the introduction of new versatile chiral solvating agents (CSA) and also ... -
Design and Analysis of Full-duplex Systems for Next-generation Wireless Communication Systems
To cater to the ever-growing demand for higher data rates, cellular networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs) need to adopt innovative technologies. Full-duplex (FD) is one such technology that promises to double ... -
Engineered Nanomaterials: Array-based Sensing of Biological and Chemical Analytes
Array-based sensing, also known as chemical nose/tongue analysis, offers an alternative platform for simultaneous differentiation of a wide range of analytes using a fixed number of cross-reactive receptors. The sensor ... -
Silicon photodetector integrated silicon nitride-on-SOI platform for communication and sensor applications
Driven by the exponential growth of data tra c, current infrastructure and standards are evolved to meeting the requirements. In long haul communication, 1550/1310 nm based singlemode ber technology is a commercially ... -
Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures using ECR plasma and their applications
Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures are a type of carbon nanomaterial in which nanostructures are aligned lengthwise perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. In this thesis work, two vertically aligned carbon ... -
nuKSM: NUMA-aware Memory De-duplication for Multi-socket Servers
An operating system's memory management has multiple goals, e.g. reducing memory access latencies, reducing memory footprint. These goals can conflict with each other when independent subsystems optimize them in silos. ... -
Design and Development of Opto-ThermoAcoustic (OTA) Measurement System to Differentiate Cancer from Adjacent Normal Breast Biopsy Tissue
Breast cancer is the most common cancer accounting for almost 11.7% of all cancer incidences and 6.9% of cancer-related deaths globally in 2020, as per Globocan 2020 report. Diagnosis of breast cancer requires microscopic ... -
On the analysis of axially loaded Euler-Bernoulli beam using Galerkin, Fourier transform, and Lie symmetry approach
The beam with axial load is one of the fundamental models in the field of physics and engineering. The applications of this model span from a guitar string to the rotating blade of a helicopter. It has an important role ... -
A Geochemical and Sr, Ca, Mg, Li isotopic study of the Godavari River draining the Deccan basalts
Chemical weathering of continental silicate rocks releases cations and anions which are eventually precipitated as carbonates on the ocean floor. This entire process transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the oceans leading ... -
Cobalt-nhc Complexes and Diazabutadienes in Activation of Mono/Diboron Compounds and Their Application in C-b Coupling Reactions
Boronic acid(esters) have been well recognized as an indispensable coupling partner in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions producing a vast spectrum of molecules, applicable in the diverse field ranging from medicinal ... -
Manipulation of Spin Dynamics and Multifaceted Applications of NMR Spectroscopy to Small Molecules
The investigations have been carried out in the thesis entitled as “Manipulation of Spin Dynamics and Multifaceted Applications of NMR Spectroscopy to Small Molecules” to address the challenging problems encountered in ... -
Understanding the origins and diversification of Indian blindsnakes
Much of systematics done in the past was based on morphological data. One of the drawbacks of using morphological data is that in groups with conserved morphology, the diversity is often underestimated and relationships ... -
Study of Optoelectronic Properties of Quantum Emitter Assemblies Coupled to Graphene, Photonic and Plasmonic Materials
Nano-photonics deals with different ways to control light-matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit. In contrast to optics, which is the concept of light rays, including absorption, transmission, and reflection, ... -
Aspects of conformal field theories at finite temperature
In this thesis we have studied broadly two aspects of thermal field theory. We began by examining how the macroscopic system (described by relativistic hydrodynamics) behalves in presence of microscopic anomalies. We ... -

The work herein aims at developing precipitation-strengthened aluminium-copper (Al-Cu) alloys that can meet the current challenges of the aeronautical and automobile sectors to increase the fuel efficiency where operating ... -
Insights into signalling and crosstalk in two-component signalling systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has very recently reclaimed the position of the leading cause of deaths in humans from a single infection agent. This suggests a dire need to ...
