Clean energy is perhaps the most critical demand of today’s developing world, arising out of rapid exploitation of non-renewable sources of energy. Therefore, we are compelled to look for solutions in the form of renewable ...

Api5 has been reported to be a metastatic oncogene in several cancers. However, till date, its role in breast cancer is poorly understood. Initially identified as an inhibitor of apoptosis, Api5 has also been found to ...

How to control and manipulate light at nanoscale by controlling the geometrical features of metallic nanostructures is the broad question we are trying to address in this thesis. The nanostructures we are interested in ...

Nucleic acids play a central role in carrying genetic information, and also have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions and regulate gene expression in the cell. Their functions often involve conformational changes ...

Melanin is a very widely studied biopolymer, which gives color to our eyes, skin, hair etc and whose complex structural hierarchy has puzzled researchers over the past century. The biogenesis pathway of melanin had been ...

This Thesis is focussed on the preparation and applications of multiple quantum coherence such as MSSM(Many some, + Some many) States and N00N state(quantum mechanical many-body entangled state) in star topology ...

Different metal oxides/sulphides were chosen and presented, to enhance the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation. Novel heterostructured photocatalysts were fabricated via facile hydrothermal ...

Hydrogen sulfide was long considered as a toxic gas, but recently found to play key roles in the physiological processes. Hydrogen sulfide is now recognized as a “gasotransmitter” along with carbon monoxide and nitric ...

In this thesis, we explore the problem of the completion of unimodular rows which has its historical importance in the solution of Serre's problem. We also study Classical Algebraic K-theory in the context of projective ...

Chapter 1 of this thesis deals with the synthesis of tripyrrine molecule, a subclass of modified porphyrin which was taken into consideration as a noble precursor by Dr. Martin Broering in Institut für Anorganische Chemie, ...
