Interaction of bubble(s) and buoyant rigid particles with vortical structures: Towards understanding bubbly turbulent flows
Bubbly turbulent flows occur in many places, such as in chemical reactors and geophysical applications, besides interest from the drag reduction perspective using injected bubbles in a (water) boundary layer. In these ... -
Electronic, Magnetic and Local structure of Some Selected Strongly Correlated Systems
According to independent electron band structure theories, transition metal oxides (TMOs) with partially filled 3d valence band are predicted to be metallic in nature. Though in reality, most of them are insulators. Mott ... -
Enantioselective Annulation Reactions: From Fischer Indolization to de novo Arene Construction
In summary, we have developed the first decarboxylative [4+2]-annulation of ethynyl benzoxazinanones with azlactones for the enantioselective synthesis of cyclic α-quaternary α-acylaminoamides.25 This direct and modular ... -
Epigenetic modulation of Foam cell generation during Mycobacterium tuberculosis/ Cryptococcus neoformans infection
Foamy macrophages or Foam cells are a critical cellular component of the granuloma formed during pulmonary infection. These lipid rich cells generally contain neutral lipids, Cholesteryl Esters (CE) and/or Triglycerides ... -
Electron Microscopy Investigations on Solution Grown Stannous Oxide Nanosheets
In this thesis, motivated by the possibility of studying rich scientific phenomena using morphology controlled single crystals, experimental observation of new features in the growth and structure of layered oxide materials ... -
Comprehensive Study on Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocellulose Reinforced Green Composites
Environmental issues caused by the non-biodegradability of synthetic thermoplastics have increased interest in more environmentally friendly alternatives that should be derived from renewable resources. This work focuses ... -
Metabolic Regulation of Gametocytogenesis in Malaria
Plasmodium sp. is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite causing malaria and is responsible for more than 500,000 human deaths annually. P. falciparum and P. vivax are the two major species causing malaria in humans. ... -
Developing an Analytical Model to Predict Customer Churn for Customer Satisfaction (CS) and Customer Loyalty (CL) with respect to Automobile After Sales Service Centres (AASSC)
Customer Satisfaction has always been a key to success for any automobile after sales service centre (AASSC). To retain customer satisfaction (CS) and customer loyalty (CL), it is crucial for any AASSC to track the important ... -
Structure of Turbulent, Swirling Round Jets
The present study deals with the numerical analysis of the effect of the swirl in the self-preservation region of the turbulent round jet. However, a large number of literature exists for the analysis of near-exit regions—very ... -
Metal Ion Mediated Riboswitch Folding and Cognate Ligand Sensing
Riboswitches are noncoding RNA molecules that can control gene expression upon cognate ligand binding. Riboswitches are primarily present in bacteria and are crucial for bacteria's survival, which makes riboswitches ... -
Scanning Probe microscopy of van der Waals heterostructures and non-equilibrium magnetotransport in graphene
Graphene is a two-dimensional semimetal that has linear dispersion in energy-momentum space. When graphene is subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, the dispersion is no longer linear, resulting in discrete energy ... -
Developing a tunable, adaptive plasmid selection system to screen Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase variants
The genetic code refers to a set of rules used by living organisms to translate information encoded within the genetic material (DNA/mRNA sequences) into proteins. All organisms generally encode 22 proteinogenic or canonical ... -
Control and Safety of Multi-UAV Systems for Collaborative Payload Transportation and Target Tracking
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in reconnaissance, remote sensing, disaster relief, and agricultural applications. Many applications require multiple UAVs to cooperate to complete the assigned tasks. ... -
A Tropical Survey of Mid-Tropospheric Cyclones, their Classification and Genesis over the Arabian Sea
Middle Tropospheric Cyclones (MTCs) are moist synoptic tropical systems with vorticity maxima in the middle troposphere and weak signature in the lower troposphere. We begin with a tropical survey of MTCs; in South Asia, ... -
Mechanical Properties of Nucleic Acids in Bulk and Under Confinement and Their Interaction with Peptide
Proteins, DNA and RNA are arguably the most studied biological molecules with curiously interconnected relation that appears ubiquitous in all organisms. Almost all nucleoprotein interactions and DNA manipulation events ... -
Resource Allocation for Natural Disasters using a Game-theoretic Framework
The occurrence of a severe natural disaster causes loss of life and destruction of properties. The overall criticality of the disaster depends on the nature of the disaster and the physical characteristics of the affected ... -
Solid-state planar micro-supercapacitors: materials interfaces, state-of-art electrode design and self-powered device
The demand for miniaturization of energy storage systems has accelerated the development of on-chip micro-power devices for integration into portable electronic devices. Micro-supercapacitors can suitably cater to the need ... -
Learning Filters, Filterbanks, Wavelets and Multiscale Representations
The problem of filter design is ubiquitous. Frequency selective filters are used in speech/audio processing, image analysis, convolutional neural networks for tasks such as denoising, deblurring/deconvolution, enhancement, ... -
Studies on Rotary Atomization
In rotary fuel injection systems, the fuel is atomized with the help of centrifugal force provided by the rotation of the injector. The rotational power can be directly provided by the shaft of a gas turbine, which can go ... -
Solution structures and interaction studies of mycobacterial MazEF6 toxin-antitoxin system
Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) systems are stress response systems found on plasmids and chromosomes of bacteria and archaea. They are involved in important functions such as plasmid maintenance, programmed cell death, persister ...
