Experimental Investigation of Novel High Shear Injector at Elevated Pressure Conditions: Hydrodynamics, Spray and Combustion Characterization
The stringent pollution and emission norms due to the present climate change and global warming have pushed industries to meet these norms and cut down their emission levels. In the same pipeline, the aviation industries ... -
On Hypergeometric solutions of Feynman integrals using Mellin-Barnes Integrals with Applications
Experimental measurements of physical observables in particle colliders rely on high-precision theoretical calculations to validate the predictions of any theoretical model and detect signals of new physics. These theoretical ... -
Microscopic Analysis of Self Healing Circuits Using Image Processing
Open circuit faults are common circuit failure mechanism in Thin Film Transistor (TFT) integrated circuits or Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Thin film Transistors are widely used in flexible electronics and are ... -
Carbon Dots for Next-generation Artificial Lighting Devices
Energy conservation has become a major concern globally in today’s world and artificial lighting (AL) accounts to ~50% of total energy consumption. With increase in population accompanied by modern civilization there is a ... -
Design and Development of a Semi-automated System for Electro-thermo-mechanical (Etm) Phenotyping of Breast Tissues Ex-vivo
Breast cancer currently accounts for 25% of all cancers diagnosed in women globally. The conventional confirmatory diagnosis of breast cancer involves histological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, ... -
Drilling Damage in Laminated Polymer Matrix Composites Considering Thermal Efefcts: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
In the present work, drilling induced damage in multi-directional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (MD-CFRP) laminates has been investigated by experimental and numerical approaches. Exit-ply delamination during drilling ... -
Investigating the role and regulation of Polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) in isoform switching during muscle development in Drosophila melanogaster
Muscles are an excellent system to dissect the development, physiology and evolution of cell heterogeneity and isoform switching. The vertebrate skeletal muscles are composed of heterogeneous muscle fibres. These fibres ... -
Vaned Diffuser Effect on Centrifugal Compressor Performance and Stall
A centrifugal compressor is a mechanical device that helps to achieve higher pressure ratios at lower mass flow rates. It is used in many applications such as turbochargers, cruise missiles, and turbojet engines where ... -
Elucidating the Role of Cyclic GMP in Diarrhoea and Intestinal Inflammation
Cyclic guanosine 3’,5’-monophosphate (cGMP) performs a wide range of functions in various cell types and tissues. The cellular levels of cGMP are maintained by the enzymatic conversion of guanosine 5’-triphosphate (GTP) ... -
A systems-level exploration of host responses across the disease spectrum of Tuberculosis and COVID-19
The host immune system orchestrates a defense mechanism against any invading pathogen with a combination of many mechanisms including antibody production, T-cell response, and memory response. The manner and extent of host ... -
Structural and Electrochemical Investigation of Bisulfate and Hydroxysulfate based Polyanionic Cathodes
The discovery of LiFePO4 cathode for Li-ion battery ushered intensive study on polyanionic high-voltage battery insertion materials. Polyanionic materials offer rich crystal chemistry, robust framework, voltage tunability, ... -
Decoding Epigenetic Regulators in Cancer: Acetylation of HIF2A by Histone Acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is essential for executing hypoxia response in glioma
Gliomas are tumors of the central nervous system arising from glial cells. Based on the origin of the cell type, it can be astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and ependymoma. Astrocytoma is the most common type of glioma, ... -
Electrochemical Behavior of Mn-based Oxide Cathode Materials for Alkali-ion Batteries: Study of Cationic and Anionic Redox Reactions
Better batteries are being developed in response to the growing demand for clean energy in order to replace conventional fossil fuels with renewable energy for affordable and long-term energy storage. Lithium-ion ... -
Correlation Between Microstructure and Corrosion Properties of Electrodeposited Nickel and Zinc Based Coatings
Conventional metallic coatings such as Ni and Zn are extensively used in corrosion protection applications. In most studies on the corrosion behavior of metallic coatings, the emphasis is on correlating morphology and ... -
Empirical Studies of Load Generation for Data Center Networks
Data center networks form the backbone for modern Internet giants like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon. Such networks consist of a layer of a large number of storage and compute servers connected through two or ... -
