Droplet Microfluidics for Nucleic Acid Quantification and Single Cell Analysis
Droplet microfluidics provides controlled generation of monodispersed droplets of the order of a few picoliters in multiphase microfluidic systems. These droplets are employed as micro-reactors to conduct chemical/biochemical ... -
Prospects of Bioethanol from Estuarine Macroalgae
Burgeoning dependence on fossil fuels for transport and industrial sectors has been posing challenges such as depletion of fossil fuel reserves, enhanced greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint, and imminent changes in the climate, ... -
Response of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Elements to Various Mechanical Loads
Reinforced concrete (RC) is being used for a wide range of structural applications. In order to design safe and economical RC structural elements it is necessary to analyse these elements accounting for the realistic ... -
Novel Spectral Processing Methods in NMR – Wavelet Transform and Pattern Based Analysis
NMR spectroscopy provides a variety of information leading to an understanding of the properties of different materials. To extract this information from the experiments, one needs to have noise and artifacts free spectra ... -
Ultrafast Study of Layered 3D Topological Insulators, Graphene-Gold Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructure and Ultrathin Gold Nanowires
In a typical time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, ultrafast laser pulses (pulse width ~ 100 fs) are utilized to induce a perturbation in the material of study within a time much shorter than the characterisitic lifetime ... -
Co-continuous microstructures through spinodal decomposition in ternary systems: A phase field study
We have studied spinodal decomposition which leads to a three-phase microstructure in ternary alloys using computer simulations based on the ternary Cahn-Hilliard equations. All the alloys we have studied are in the same ... -
Thin Film Electronics on Edible Substrates
The recent years have seen the development biocompatible ingestible and implantable devices for human health monitoring. The major issue is the toxicity of the organic materials (polymers) used in the implants and consequently ... -
Practically Efficient Secure Small Party Computation over the Internet
Secure Multi-party Computation (MPC) with small population has drawn focus specifically due to customization in techniques and resulting efficiency that the constructions can offer. Practically efficient constructions ... -
Investigation of the Thermoelectric Properties of Single and Double Substituted Cu12Sb4S13 Tetrahedrite
According to the current energy consumption, out of the total energy supplied as input in various sources such as power plants, factories, automobiles, etc., only around 30% of the energy is converted to useful work. The ... -
Development of New Synthetic Methodologies for Selenocysteine, Selenopeptides and β-Seleno Amino Acids”
thesis mainly describes the synthesis and characterization of novel selenium-containing amino acids for their potential application in redox reactions. Several β-seleno-α-amino acids have been synthesized and fully ... -
A Method of Designing an Intelligent Public Transportation System in Metropolitan Area Using Emergent Intelligence
Metropolitan area consists of huge population density, one or more urban areas, satellite cities, rural areas and towns. It highly concentrates economic activities to attract people from rural areas and is a complex ... -
On the Structure and Propagation of Premixed Flames in Turbulence
Turbulence interacts with flames over a multitude of lengthscales and timescales. These interactions are nonlinear and are ubiquitous, for example, in propulsion engines operating in space, air, land, and sea. ... -
Comparative evaluation of retrograde regulatory proteins (Rtg1p, Rtg2p, and Rtg3p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris and identification of P. pastoris RtgXp as a novel regulator of multiple metabolic pathways
Our work demonstrates for the first time that PpRtgXp, a basic, helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein, is a global regulator of carbon metabolism. PpRtgXp constitutively localizes inside the nucleus. Despite lacking the C-terminal ... -
Application of Experience Mapping based Predictive Controller (EMPC) for Under-damped and Unstable Systems
Experience Mapping based Predictive Controller (EMPC) is a concept based on the principle of Human Motor Control, that was earlier developed and applied to control a well damped Type 1 system. In this thesis, the concepts ... -
Structure-Property correlation in epoxy composites containing carbonaceous nanoparticles
Epoxy is widely used as thermosetting materials in carbon fiber composites due to its combined superior thermal and mechanical properties which makes them a potential candidate for myriad applications. But epoxy suffers ... -
Advanced Optimal Spacecraft Guidance For Terminal Phase Rendezvous and Docking
There have been growing interest in Rendezvous and Docking (RVD) missions for on-orbit refueling, on-orbit servicing, orbital debris removal, etc. A very important requirement in RVD missions is soft-docking at the terminal ... -
Numerical Studies of Spiral- and Scroll-wave Dynamics in Cardiac Tissue: (1) Spiral- and Scroll-Wave Turbulence; (2) Spiral- and Scroll-Wave dynamics in Anatomically and Physiologically realistic Mathematical Models for Canine and Human Ventricular Tissue
A summary of the main results of our studies is given below. In most of our work, we use three mathematical models for cardiac myocytes, namely, the Panfilov model, the Aliev-Panfilov model, and the Hund-Rudy-Dynamic ... -
Fate and Remediation of Ammonium-n In Pit Toilet Blackwater
Pit toilets satisfy the sanitation requirement in regions with no access to piped sewerage facilities. Black water discharged from pit toilets is a major source of groundwater pollution. The primary focus of the thesis is ... -
Applications of Moonshine Symmetry in String Theory
In this thesis we study the applications of Mathieu moonshine symmetry to compacti cations of supersymmetric string theories. These theories are compacti ed on a 6 dimensional manifold K3 T2. The main ingredient in ... -
