It has been known that early humans performed butchery on animals that were present at the time around them for meat consumption. Studies performed by archaeologists have not only confirmed this via excavations of faunal ...
The characteristics of the plants and fruits we see today are far from similar to what they
used to be. The change happened in due course of time with voluntary or involuntary
actions. Favourable features have been added ...
In this thesis, we take a closer look at the Erdos-Hajnal Conjecture. A Graph $H$ is said to have the Erdos-Hajnal (EH) property if, for some constant $\gamma(H) > 0$, every sufficiently large $H$-free graph $G$ has a ...
Understanding how organ shapes are produced and the causes of their variety is a major problem in biology. The difficulty in solving the issue lies in the fact that the final form frequently relies on mechanical constraints ...
We derive the causality and unitarity constraints on dimension 6 and dimension 8 Gluon field strength operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We use the ‘amplitude analysis’ i.e. dispersion relation ...
The evolution of tumor-immune interactions from tumor protective to tumor promoting, has been of recent interest in the field. The immune system plays a significant role in the tumor initiation, promotion/maintenance, and ...
A thermoelectric (TE) device converts heat energy into electrical energy and can be used to tap
the waste heat and turn it into clean and useful electrical energy that can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels whose ...
The study of interacting dynamical systems has been a topic of continuing research interest in various fields of science and engineering. In a collection of interacting agents, the interaction network contains information ...
The pyrochlore system has a general formula of A2B2O7, where A is typically a rare earth and B is a transition metal ion. It crystallizes in a face-centered cubic structure with space group Fd-3m. The structure consists ...
This thesis investigates the chemical and techno-economic efficacy of Organic Redox Flow Batteries (ORFBs). Research has identified the class of redox flow batteries as a promising solution for storing renewable energy ...
Regeneration is a natural process that gets activated upon injury and helps reorganize the lost body parts so that it regains their full functionality. At the cellular level, one of many intriguing questions to ask is how ...
Conjugation Mediated Bacterial Genome Mixing (CoMBacGeMi) is a technique developed to enable the exchange of genetic material between bacterial strains, in a manner that simulates the process occurring in the wild. CoMBacGeMi ...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has infected millions of lives worldwide, causing a significant number of deaths. Despite the development of several drugs and vaccines, the emergence of new ...
One of the most traditional C-H activation reaction, Fujiwara-Moritani reaction requires stoichiometric metal oxidant. Electro-organic chemistry provides a greener alternative, where electron is used as the redox equivalent. ...
Protein interaction networks are ubiquitous in the functioning of organisms. Inspired by the work of Leskovec et al. on changes in the resilience of such networks, we observe how quantitative characteristics of protein ...
Plants along with all other organisms play a vital role in the ecosystem. However unlike birds
or animals, they cannot move. To save themselves from their predators, plants evolved various
strategies. Various strategies ...
This thesis presents a framework for understanding moral responsibility in the context of climate change. After reviewing existing literature on responsibility, the author argues for a forward-looking approach that takes ...
In this thesis, I study an inverse boundary value problem in two dimensions for a polyharmonic operator of the form
\begin{equation*}
\mathcal{L} = \partial^{m}\bar{\partial}^{m} + \sum_{j,k = 0}^{m-1}{A_{j,k}\parti ...
Most of our understanding of human embryonic development is limited by technical and ethical difficulties in acquiring samples and mainly relies on comparative studies in mice and other higher mammals. Although this approach ...
Over the last few decades, E. coli cells have been increasingly used in industrial biotechnology to produce products of high economic value. This includes enzymes, therapeutics, and dietary supplements. However, currently ...
