RNA world hypothesis suggests that RNA was the first informational biopolymer from which DNA and proteins evolved later. However, this hypothesis has historically ignored the role of other prebiotically relevant molecules ...
Recent advances in foldamers composed of non-natural β- and γ- amino acids suggested the greater structural diversity in hybrid peptides constituted with mixed αβ, αγ and βγ sequences compared to their homooligomers. The ...
The key objective of this yearlong project was to learn serveral concepts in commuta-
tive algebra and algebraic geometry. We started with learning concepts in commuta-
tive algebra, which included primary decomposition, ...
In this thesis, motivated by the Inverse Galois Problem, we prove the occurence of
Sn as Galois group over any global field. While Hilbert’s Irreducibility Theorem,
the main ingredient of this proof, can be proved(for ...
Copolymers are interesting kind of macromolecules and have found many applications. Styrene-Isoprene copolymers are used as additives in the fuels to improve their Viscosity Index (VI). A fuel with a good VI is the one ...
Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that maintain structural and mechanical integrity of the nucleus. Lamins are important in maintenance of the epigenetic landscape, DNA replication and mechanotransduction. Lamins ...
In this thesis we analyze interacting massive scalar fields in de-Sitter space, specifically the issue of infrared divergences which cause the conventional in-out perturbation theory inapplicable. We then review the use ...
The phenomenon of Hawking Radiation is explored in analogue gravity using Bose-Einstein Condensates. The process of spontaneous pair production that occurs at the event horizon is treated as a scattering problem, and the ...
Porous carbon-TiO2 & carbon-Al2O3 composite supports were prepared and tested for NO reduction via NH3-SCR and hydrotreating of vacuum gas oil (VGO) respectively. The effects of type of porous carbon (activated carbon, ...
In this thesis we study the relationship between Asymptotic symmetry group of (Asymptotically flat) space-times at Null and Spatial Infinity.
We first review the basic framework concerning Null and Spatial Infinity and ...
We study the effective horizon dynamics of black holes in large number of dimensions($D$). To do this,we construct $SO(D-p-2)$ invariant solutions to Einstein's equations in large number of dimensions D in a power series ...
Ludwigites are a class of oxyborates with the chemical formula M2(II)M'(III)O2BO3 where M and M' are metal ions. These materials have been widely studied because of its three leg ladder structure and spin and charge ordering ...
Motility in bacteria is a fundamental process. Molecular mechanism behind novel modes of bacterial motility such as social motility and adventurous gliding motility in the social bacterium, Myxococcus xanthus, has not been ...
Seismic tomography is an approach to reconstruct 2-D or 3-D velocity variation in a region of interest. This is performed using body or surface wave data from earthquake sources. Application of body wave data includes using ...
Functional traits are measurable traits which infers about plant response to different environmental cues. Functional traits are measured at the level of an individual, but give an opportunity to scale up the study to the ...
Hox genes are a group of genes that control the body plan of an organism along anterior
posterior axis. Hox genes function as master control genes and they regulate the
expression of downstream target genes. While insects ...
I study the scope of discovering vector-like leptons at the Large Hadron Collider. Unlike the Standard Model leptons, vector-like leptons are non-chiral. Many beyond the Standard Model theories like composite Higgs model, ...
This thesis is divided into three parts. In the first part, the protection offered by decoherence free subspaces is quantified and compared against unprotected spaces by means of noise spectroscopy. In the second part, ...
In this thesis we outline the formulation, implementation and validation of Adaptive
Particle Resolution (APR) in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Traditionally,
SPH systems are modelled with unifrom mass distribution, ...
Propagation of spiking activity in networks of neuron is the key to how information is presented in the brain. The precise arrival times of spikes encode different kinds of incoming information. It has been shown that ...
