Bay of Bengal Freshwater in the tropical Indian Ocean
The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ... -
Elucidating Intricate Excited-state Dynamics in Molecular Systems Using Time-resolved Transient Absorption and Ultrafast Raman Spectroscopy
Abstract The excited-state dynamics of molecular materials is of great importance to understand early time photodynamics. We have used Femtosecond Transient Absorption (fs-TA) and Ultrafast Raman Loss Spectroscopy (URLS) ... -
Glycobiological Regulation of Breast Cancer Invasion
Invasiveness of cancer is the predominant reason behind mortality associated with the disease. Although long under active investigation, fundamental aspects of the early steps of cancer invasion and metastasis are still ... -
Mechanistic Insights Into Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) Trans-splicing in Giardia lamblia
Hsp90 gene is conserved and encoded by a single ORF with none to many cis-spliced introns across the biological kingdom. Previous studies from our lab have shown that Hsp90 gene in Giardia lamblia has a split nature having ... -
Network Heterogeneities, Intrinsic Plasticity and Decorrelation in the Dentate Gyrus
A central premise for research in neuroscience is to mechanistically decipher the physiological roles of the brain in effectuating learning and memory. The tripartite framework that is at the core of learning and memory ... -
Characterization of Brain Signals Across Scales Using Temporally Modulated Visual Stimuli
Electrical signals from the brain can be recorded at several different scales, ranging from spiking activity to local field potential (LFP) in animals to scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) in humans. Each signal represents ... -
Service quality of Intercity Bus transport
Public transportation has become one of the cornerstones for country’s infrastructure development. Road transportation is one of the important means of public transportation. Within road transportation, a large number of ... -
Computational studies on interacting proteins with special reference to toxin-antitoxin systems
Proteins interact with other proteins to maintain functional homeostasis of the cell by tightly regulating cellular processes. Hence, it becomes important to understand not only the downstream effects of protein-protein ... -
Engineering quantum emitters in WSe2 films on metal films
The discovery of single photon emitters (SPEs) in van der Waals materials, in particular, from point defects in Tungsten Diselenide (WSe2) and hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), has sparked tremendous research interest in the ... -
Pseudo-binary and Pseudo-ternary diffusion couple methods for understanding the growth of interdiffusion zone between bond coat and superalloys
Ni-based superalloys are widely used in jet engine applications. Bond coats are applied to these alloys for protection during service in a very harsh environment at high operating temperature. The addition of Pt to the ... -
Psychographic Segmentation of Retail Banking Customers of Karnataka (India) - An Exploratory Study
Post Liberalization, India has witnessed a good growth rate in economy. The GDP has grown by in the range of 7- 8 percentage annually. The job prospects in India have increased phenomenally due domestic business climate ... -
Investigations on Joule Heating and Associated Effects during Liquid Dielectrophoresis of Aqueous Droplets
Liquid dielectrophoresis (L-DEP) is an electrokinetic phenomenon in which a dielectric liquid with higher permittivity than the surrounding medium, when placed in a non-uniform electric field, moves towards the regions of ... -
Fabrication of suspended Graphene microchannels and its application in studying graphene-liquid interface
Graphene is a single layer of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms having extraordinary mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. These exotic properties make them attractive for applications in all fields of science and ... -
Application of Mesoporous Silica nanoparticles as a nano-carrier for the treatment of HCV and HIV infections
Carrier-mediated drug delivery systems have emerged as a powerful tool for the treatment of various diseases, especially, in the field of viral infection. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel anti-virals are ... -
Use of strategically designed protein-like sequences in structure and function recognition
The advent of high fidelity protein sequencing techniques has led to a considerable wealth of sequence data. However, the number of proteins with information on 3-D structure and functional features available is considerably ... -
Designing Authentication and Privacy Schemes for Ubiquitous Services
Ubiquitous services in ubiquitous environments provide personalized and adaptive services to a user anytime anywhere, by considering the context information such as profile information and history of the users. Ubiquitous ... -
Higgs phenomenology and Dark Matter prospects in MSSM, NMSSM and U(1) extended SM
Particle physics today is at a juncture where all particles predicted within Standard Model (SM) have been discovered at the particle colliders while no particles from the realm of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) ... -
Modelling, Optimisation and Control of Photovoltaic Energy Conversion Systems
With growing energy demands of the society and depleting reserves of conventional energy sources, renewable energy is the need of the hour. Out of the various renewable energy sources available, solar photovoltaic (PV) ... -
Fast and Robust Biomedical Image Reconstruction from Nonuniform Samples
We consider the problem of reconstructing images from non-uniformly under-sampled spatial point measurements with emphasis on robustness to noise. The computational methods that deals with this problem are known as ... -
