Functional characterisation of splicing factor Slu7 in Cryptococcus neoformans – roles in cell cycle, constitutive and alternate splicing
Fungal genomes, including in pathogenic yeasts like Cryptococcus neoformans (Cnn) and Candida albicans are rich with short introns. 99% of Cryptococcus neoformans genes have introns with an average of 5 introns per gene ... -
Seismic evaluation of 3D tunnels in near fault ground motion using domain reduction method
Underground tunnels are an essential part of transportation and utility networks, and their vulnerability to earthquakes has significant socio-economic impacts. Tunnels have suffered substantial damage in past earthquakes, ... -
Investigations into the Thermo-chemical Conversion of Simulated Refuse Derived Fuels with Different Plastic Contents
The burgeoning problem of municipal waste generation along with its disposal problem has urged the development of sustainable waste management practices such as waste-to-energy conversion. Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) represents ... -
Structure-function and evolution of a unique uracil DNA glycosylase, UdgX, from Mycobacterium smegmatis
Mycobacterium smegmatis, a soil bacterium, faces multiple challenges in its environment, including exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI), radiation, and various other chemical ... -
Impact of 3D distribution of Black Carbon aerosols in the atmosphere on aerosol radiative forcing over the Indian region
Black Carbon (BC) aerosols are produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials. While they constitute an insignificant mass-fraction of the composite atmospheric aerosols, their measurement is essential in ... -
Studies on Two-Stage Air-Cooled Silica gel + Water Adsorption Cooling System
Adsorption cooling systems are evolving as promising complements to conventional vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) systems because of their ability to utilize low-grade heat sources such as industrial waste heat, solar, ... -
Robust Station-keeping and High-Precision Attitude Control for a Spacecraft on Sun–Earth L1 Halo Orbit
The halo orbits around the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point form an ideal location for deploying a solar observation spacecraft as they offer uninterrupted, long-duration visibility of the Sun. However, the complex orbital and ... -
Understanding the adaptive responses of Salmonella Typhimurium during bile stress
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is an enteric pathogen that causes gastroenteritis. Although gastroenteritis is usually non-life threatening in healthy adults, it can cause fatality in children and immunocompromised ... -
Efficient Learning of Koopman Structures for Model-Based Control of Nonlinear Robotic Systems
Identification of the dynamics of a complex robotic system accurately from first principles is challenging and often infeasible. Simplifying assumptions commonly made in modeling such systems often restrict their scope and ... -
Stochastic Methods in Time-Domain Electromagnetic Computations
The world is advancing towards a highly connected, fast data rate, digital trans- formation through communication technologies like 5G and 6G, high-speed data centres, Terahertz imaging etc. High-frequency RF systems are ... -
Self-Assembled Hosts for Applications in Guest Binding and Catalysis
Living organisms can perform complex chemical reactions precisely in the confined pockets of enzymes. In this regard, numerous aesthetic 2D and 3D discrete architectures have been constructed using metal-ligand coordination ... -
Prediction of multi-physical properties of fibre-reinforced composites using deep learning
