Dynamics of river plumes in the Bay of Bengal
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) receives a large amount of freshwater through runoff from sev- eral rivers along its border. This large freshwater gain has severe implications on the dynamics and thermodynamics of the BoB as ... -
Algorithms for Fair Clustering
Many decisions today are taken by various machine learning algorithms, hence it is crucial to accommodate fairness in such algorithms to remove/reduce any kind of bias in the decision. We incorporate fairness in the ... -
Electrical transport study of Graphene/WSe2 Heterostructure
Spintronics has emerged as a novel platform to build information storage and logic devices in the last few decades. Graphene promises a long spin propagation length even at room temperature due to its low spin-orbit ... -
Phenomenological Explorations in Dark Matter
The previous decade has seen an explosive increase in explorations into the nature of dark matter (DM) encompassing astrophysical, particle and cosmological probes. We face today a large body of gravitational evidences ... -
Investigations on Product Purchase Behaviour of Domestic Air Travellers
The Indian civil aviation industry has emerged as one of the fastest-growing industries in the country. Compared to 99 airports in March 2018, nearly 200 operational airports are expected in India by 2040. However, the ... -
Excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Excitons are quasiparticles formed due to electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the holes in a semiconductor. This Coulomb attraction is very strong in the mono- layers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides ... -
Studies on exosomal microRNAs and proteins associated with Hepatitis C and Dengue virus induced pathogenesis
Studies on the exosomal microRNAs and proteins associated with Hepatitis C and Dengue virus-induced pathogenesis. Hepatitis C virus and Dengue virus are the group of positive-strand RNA viruses belonging to the family ... -
Quantum Phases and Magnetization Plateaus of Skewed Spin Ladders
This thesis deals with theoretical studies of skewed spin ladders which are two legged ladder with periodic slanted rung bonds and can be viewed as periodic fused rings with two different number of vertices. The spin at ... -
Functional characterization of WD40-repeat protein, WDR8, in Zebrafish to gain insight into its role in Isolated Microspherophakia
WD40-repeat (WDR) proteins are a family of proteins that are characterized by widespread occurrence, low level of sequence conservation, common structural conformation (β propeller structure) and functional diversity. ... -
Quasi-Static and Implicit-Dynamic Finite Element Solution of Large Deformation Elastic Adhesive Contacts Using a Volumetric Interaction Scheme
Adhesive forces, mediated by van der Waals’ and other interactions, dominate the contact response in the micron and sub-micron regimes. Understanding adhesion is especially important in biological systems (interaction of ... -
Development of Piezoelectric Ultrasound Transducers for Novel Applications
Ultrasound is a scientific miracle with its magical contributions in almost all the branches of modern-day technology. It all started with the discovery of the ‘piezoelectric effect’ by the Curie brothers, who demonstrated ... -
Polyurethane based Self-healing Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Applications
An augmentation in the growth of modern electronics and telecommunication has led to an increase in electromagnetic interference (EMI) as its aftermath. Device malfunctioning, unwanted noise and radio leakage are the direct ... -
Structural and functional insights of biological macromolecules associated with infectious diseases – single particle cryo-electron microscopy based studies
In the global context, particularly in India, the two most important infectious diseases among many others are Tuberculosis (TB), an age-old disease and COVID-19, a new-age disease. This thesis focuses on some of the key ... -
Quasi-analytic Functions, Spherical Means, and Uncertainty Principles on Heisenberg Groups and Symmetric Spaces
This thesis has two parts. The first part revolves around certain theorems related to an uncertainty principle and quasi-analyticity. In contrast, the second part reflects a different mathematical theme, focusing on the ... -
Activin and TGF-β signaling: Differential role of a Serine/Threonine phosphate in the regulation of SMAD2 activity
Activins are the most prominent members of the Activin/Inhibin branch of the TGF-β superfamily. Similar to TGF-β, they play an essential role in regulating multiple physiological processes such as development, reproductive ... -
Search for dark matter produced in association with b-jets in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector using full Run2 data
A search for dark matter particles in the events containing large missing transverse energy accompanied by b-quarks has been performed. The data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the Large Hadron Collider ... -
