Self-organisation of bacteria through swarming
Swarming is a unique example of social behaviour in bacteria. They represent the collective effort of bacteria to translocate on moist substrates. The bacteria extract fluid from the substrate through osmosis and produces ... -
Non-covalent interactions in Crystals and Heterocycles of Sulphur and Selenium
Hydrogen bonding plays a very important role in the fields of both chemistry and biology. Conventionally it is represented as D-H---A, where D is the donor atom, A is the acceptor atom and H is the hydrogen atom. It has ... -
Energy-Efficient Data Fusion Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are finding increasing use in applications such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and healthcare due to their low cost and ease of deployment. However, the nodes in a ... -
First-principles based study of graphene inserted tellurene-metal interface
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive research interest since the journey started with the successful isolation of graphene in 2004. 2D materials have shown remarkable advancement in the ... -
Understanding the role of arginine clusters in β-hairpin antimicrobial peptides
The work described in this thesis describes the role of arginine clusters and the importance of their position in B-hairpin antimicrobial peptides. Here, we have tried to explore the role of guanidinium groups in the ... -
Some phenomenological studies of the Higgs boson(s) in the Standard Model and beyond
The fundamental particles and their interactions are described by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Various experiments has been performed over the years and they indicate towards the consistency of the SM with ... -
A Study on Isogeometric Analysis of Laminated Composite Beams
A myriad of physical processes in engineering and other science branches is represented using differential equations with boundary conditions. Finding the exact solution for the differential equation is quite challenging ... -
Structural and Functional Investigation of a Multi-drug Efflux Transporter QacA
The emergence of multi-drug resistance in bacteria is a global health care challenge. One of the effective means of gaining antimicrobial resistance, among superbugs, is through expression of efflux pumps. Quaternary ... -
Role of Escherichia coli UvrD helicase in resolving G-quadruplex DNA structures
G-quadruplex (G4) secondary structures have been implicated in various biological processes, including gene expression, DNA replication and telomere maintenance. However, unresolved G4 structures impede replication ... -
Fourier coeffcients of modular forms and mass of pullbacks of Saito–Kurokawa lifts
In the first part of the talk we would discuss a topic about the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. Namely, we would focus on the question of distinguishing two modular forms by certain ‘arithmetically interesting’ ... -
Migrating VM Workloads to Containers: Issues and Challenges
Modern day enterprises are adopting virtualization to leverage the benefits of improved server utilization through workload consolidation. Server consolidation provides this benefit to enterprise applications as many of ... -
Hardware Emulation of a Long Transmission Line by High Frequency Power Electronic Converter for the study of Switching Transients
To ensure smooth functioning of the grid, the reliability and robustness of the power system equipment needs to be precisely evaluated during their development process. But direct on- eld tests of most of the equipment ... -
Charge transport in functionalized carbon nanotube and composite with polyaniline at low temperature
Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a very well-known material with very high thermal conductivity, high Young modulus and high electrical conductivity. The sp2 bonded C=C π-electrons delocalize in the whole lattice give rise to high ... -
Kinetic, Catalytic and Epigenetic Properties of HpyAXVII DNA Methyltransferase – a Phasevarion in the Human Pathogen Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is the leading cause of gastric cancer in human beings. It is a helix-shaped, Gram-negative, motile bacteria that colonizes the gastric mucosa and eventually the gastric epithelium. It has an overabundance ... -
Robust Algorithms for recovering planted structures in Semi-random instances
In this thesis, we study algorithms for three fundamental graph problems. These are NP-hard problems which have not been understood completely as there is a signifiicant gap between the algorithmic and the hardness fronts ... -
