Revealing and targeting novel cryptic pockets in a protein has become a major challenge in the field of drug design. Static experimental protein structures represent ensemble averaged lacking the dynamics of the real ...
Landing is a critical aspect of insect flight. The landing behaviour comprises of multiple components like deceleration, leg extension and orientation of the body towards the landing surface. We have used the housefly ...
This project aims to write down the Plancherel formula for GL(2; F) where F is a p-adic
eld. The Plancherel formula for SL(2; F) and PGL(2; F) are known, and we also have a
general form of the formula for a real reductive ...
Quantum measurement is analyzed from a conceptual point of view by comparing weak
and strong interaction regimes using von-Neumann’s measurement model and explicit
conditions for weakness have been derived for both weak ...
Control over the quantum world is expected to open new horizons in this century. \Given
a quantum system, how best we can control its dynamics?" is the question at the heart of
quantum control technology. Several ...
This thesis is in two parts: First part relates to tuning of the granular magneto-resistance
(MR), which naturally occurs in systems consisting of ferromagnetic (FM) metallic grain
and antiferromagnetic (AFM)/ insulating ...
The Standard Model fermions are known to be chiral in nature. Several new theories like composite
Higgs models, Randall-Sundrum model, GUTs etc. however predict the existence of new
heavy vector-like fermions. In this ...
Rational design of the non-noble, robust and low-cost functional oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction reaction (OER/ORR) electrocatalysts are greatly desired for fuel cells, rechargeable Zn-air batteries and water ...
Li-O2 batteries have become a promising candidate in the scientific world and can be a better replacement for the existing energy storage devices because of their theoretical high specific capacity. However, they suffer ...
Cell motility is one of the important functions performed by the bacteria in order
to survive. Myxococcus xanthus, a rod shaped bacteria exhibits two different types of
motility namely Adventurous Gliding motility ...
The Stable Marriage Problem is a classic problem of matching under preferences.
It involves two sets of agents, classically refered to as men and women each having a
preference list over the other set. A matching is a ...
We study classical and quantum dynamics of delta kicked Duffing oscillator. We look at
the Poincare surface of sections for classical system and Husimi distribution functions for
quantum system to study chaos. Attempt ...
Recently, flexible and wearable microelectronics has become one of the most exciting
and trending fields of research. Various types of flexible and wearable devices have
been introduced lately. In this work, we have ...
SnSe is a p type semiconductor belonging to IV-VI group of chalcogenides. It is a layered material with strong in plane covalent interaction and weak inter layer Van der Waal’s interaction. SnSe in Cmcm phase is known for ...
Nanotechnology and nanoscience are a fast evolving field which deals with the properties of the material at the nanoscale level. Harnessing these properties in the form of applications which can aid mankind is nanotechnology. ...
The thesis titled \Functorial Knot Theory", expository in nature, aims to show some recent
connections between Knot theory and Category theory. In the rst part we discuss how
the language of categories and functors e ...
Temperature is expected to increase by 3 to 6°C by 2100 in tropics. Tropical species
which are already near their upper temperature threshold are expected to experience
temperature above their tolerance limit. Tropical ...
In this thesis, the sensitivity of searches for the MSM model in a 13 TeV and a 100 TeV
hadron-hadron collider, were compared. The MSM predicts heavy right-handed neutrinos
which mix with the SM neutrinos. This model ...
Type ISP restriction-modification (RM) enzymes are bacterial defense systems that nucleolytically cleave foreign DNA entering a bacterial cell (restriction) and protect the host DNA from being restricted by methylating the ...
