Lanthanide-derived Photoluminescent Hydrogels for Analytical Screening of Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, α-Chymotrypsin, and Gossypol
Supramolecular gels are soft substances made of elastic cross-linked three-dimensional network connected by noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, donor-acceptor interactions, π- π ... -
Nuclear quantum effects in gas-phase systems with large amplitude motions: A study of 2-fluoroethanol, ethylene glycol, and H3O2
This thesis explores the role of nuclear quantum effects in selected systems containing large amplitude motion through path integral simulations. Recent works have explored molecules with such floppy modes and examined ... -
Liquid jet injection into a supersonic crossflow: Influence of jet orifice shape on penetration and atomization
Liquid jet injection into supersonic crossflow is one of the conceptually simple ways of fuel atomization in SCRAMJET engines. The success of these engines demands the efficient mixing of incoming supersonic air and the ... -
The Nse1p RING domain is required for maintaining transcriptional silencing and genomic organization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure that reorganizes to support proper transcription, replication, repair, and segregation. Principal chromosomal constituents that shape chromosomes are the SMC (Structural Maintenance of ... -
miRNA-based regulation of Coxsackievirus B3 replication and pathogenesis
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus known to cause acute myocarditis, pancreatitis, and aseptic meningitis. In many cases, the long-term impact of CVB3 infection-induced cell death ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of Dihydrothiopyranones, Functionalized Benzofurans and Extending Michael Acceptor Aldimine Umpolung
Carbenes exhibit high reactivity as divalent species with six electrons in their valence shell. Their electrophilic nature arises from an incomplete octet. However, when a heteroatom is introduced adjacent to the carbene ... -
An Energetics Perspective for the Response of the Indian Summer Monsoon to Land Processes in a Coupled General Circulation Model
The Indian summer monsoon is a coupled land-ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that supplies about 80% of the annual rainfall that the region receives. The monsoon season typically begins on June 1 st with a steep rise in rainfall ... -
Characterization of Visual Stimulus-Induced Gamma Oscillations as Signatures of Mechanisms Underlying Healthy Aging and Disease
Neural oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations in the electrical activity recorded from the brain that convey important information about brain function. Gamma oscillations, which refer to the 30–80 Hz frequency range, are ... -
Microstructure-Corrosion Property Correlation in Electrodeposited Sn and Cu Based Coating Systems
Conventional metallic coatings are widely used for protection against corrosion. This study investigates the correlation between microstructure and corrosion properties in SnCr and CuCr electrodeposited coatings. The wide ... -
Engineering Dielectric Properties of Nanomaterials
Metallic nanostructures can exhibit plasmonic modes due to coherent oscillations of the free electrons under electromagnetic excitations. Therefore, they find diverse applications in optical sensing, photonics, and ... -
Charge Transport in PEDOT:PSS and Blends
Charge transport properties and metal-insulator transition in conducting polymers de pend on doping, disorder and the complex nanomorphology. Conductivity of poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) ... -
Peritoneal colonization of ovarian cancer
The primary cause of mortality associated with cancer is metastasis, i.e., the spread of transformed cells from the site of oncogenesis to secondary loci within the body. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating ... -
Excitonic complexes in semiconducting monolayers and their twisted heterojunctions
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) host excitons, a bound state of electron and hole. Excitonic many-body complexes dominate the optical spectra obtained from this system and manipulating these complexes ... -
Translation in Erythroid cells
Erythrocytes are specialized cells that perform the crucial function of gas exchange in all vertebrates. Regulation of gene expression was believed to be absent in these cells due to the absence of nucleus. It was also ... -
Investigations on the Use of Mems-imu Sensors for Manual 2D and 3D Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging is a safe medical imaging technique with many applications in medical diagnostics. MEMS-IMUs being small-size, low-cost, low-power devices suitable for accurate orientation estimation, the chances of ... -
Evaluating routine biochemical parameters for breast cancer detection in Indian women: A machine learning approach
Breast cancer stands as the leading cancer type among Indian women, with a mortality rate that surpasses that of nations such as the USA, Australia, and the UK. The higher mortality rate is largely explained by a lack of ... -
Development of Novel Deep Learning Models with Improved Generalizability for Medical Image Analysis
Medical imaging is a process of visualization of disease/tissue in a non-invasive manner. Several imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and ... -
Exploring Welfare Maximization and Fairness in Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting (PB) is a voting paradigm for distributing a divisible resource, usually called a budget, among a set of projects by aggregating the preferences of individuals over these projects. It is implemented ... -
Specification Synthesis with Constrained Horn Clauses
Many practical problems in software development, verification and testing rely on specifications. The problem of specification synthesis is to automatically find relational constraints for undefined functions, called ... -
Investigating Ocular and EEG parameters for pilot’s cognitive load estimation using flight simulators
Present day aircraft systems are becoming incredibly complicated with the advent of new technologies. As per International civil aviation organization’s safety report, failure of mechanical or any physical hardware has ...
