Some aspects of metabolism of vitamin A in the normal and protein deficient rats.
Abstract Not Available -
studies on vitamins A1 and A2 and their derivatives
Vitamin A, if it were to fulfil most of its systemic functions and exert its biological activity through its acid form, or presumably an active form derived from it, then nature is provided with the necessary mechanisms ... -
Studies on antibiotics antiviral activity of compounds related to pterygospermin
Chapter I: General Introduction The current concepts and avenues to viral chemotherapy have been briefly reviewed. The extreme parasitism of viruses-as defined by their size, habitat, mode of replication, and complete ... -
Studies on the absorption and storage of vitamin A and carotenoids in rats and chickens
Abstract Not Available -
Studies on malbranchea pulchella - A penicillin forming thermophilic fungus
Chapter I. Introduction The recent developments in the biochemistry of penicillins have been briefly reviewed. The discovery of 6 aminopenicillanic acid has led to the preparation and testing of several semi synthetic ... -
Systems-level modelling of hepatitis C virus Infection and treatment response
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection affects approximately 130-170 million people worldwide. Interferon-based treatment, the current standard of care, fails to cure a significant fraction of patients. The cause of this treatment ... -
Testing the hypothesis of quorum sensing in vibrio fischeri : luminescence, motility, and biofilm
The individual behavior of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria often gives rise to complexity typically associated with multicellular systems. The transition from unicellular to multicellular behavior occurs in response ... -
Structure and Computation of a Class of Piecewise Linear Generalized Voronoi Diagrams with Application to Translational Motion Planning
This thesis concerns the development of a piecewise linear generalized Voronoi diagram and its application for translating a convex polytope among convex polyhedra in a general d-dimensional polyhedral world. The work is ... -
Huygens Method of Construction of Weakly Nonlinear Wavefronts and Shockfronts with application to Hyperbolic Caustics
This thesis embodies the results of investigations of the effect of nonlinearity on the propagation of weakly nonlinear and arbitrarily curved wavefronts and shockfronts. It is classified into six chapters, of which Chapter ...
