Communication is vital for survival in the animal kingdom. Communication through vocal learning is an ability possessed by very few taxa. Zebra finch serves as a good model system to study evolution of vocal learning. Akin ...

Behaviour can be altered by the presence of kin, and this is seen in multiple organisms. This phenomenon is comparatively less studied in organisms that do not show group-living behaviour, like Drosophila melanogaster. ...

NTERA-2 cl.D1 (NT2/D1) is an embryonal carcinoma cell line that differentiates into a neuronal phenotype upon induction with retinoic acid (RA). Cellular differentiation incorporates various stimuli and involves multiple ...

With the increase in high temperature incidences due to global warming, it has become very important to understand the thermotolerance of plant species. In this study, the thermotolerance and leaf traits of 41 forest species ...

The aim of our project was to predict the depths of all the amino acids in a given query sequence. Residue depth is an important parameter to study various other properties of the protein. To predict the same we used ...

Fair pricing of financial instruments is at the heart of market stability. Mispricing securities can lead traders into suffering massive losses which can indirectly affect the financial health of markets. It is thus, ...

Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering – defined by a colorless exchange between the target nucleus and the incoming electron – is sensitive to the geometric structure of hadrons, and hence can be used as a probe for ...

Rigid Analysis is the p-adic analogue of the classical complex geometry. After Hensel discovered the p-adic numbers in 1893, attempts were made to formulate a theory of analytic functions over Q_p . Initially, the question ...

Many research activities focus on emergent energy storage technologies such as Na-ion, Zn-ion and Al-ion as alternative systems to established ones like lead acid, NiMH and Li-ion batteries. Function principle ...

In this thesis, we study Thurston’s approach to finding complete hyperbolic structures on 3-manifolds using ideal triangulations. This approach involves solving a set of equations called the Thurston’s gluing equations. ...
