Studies of personality, consistent behavioural differences between individuals, in animal behaviour reflect a paradigm shift in our understanding from the classical view of animals behaving optimally at all times. A wide ...

Calorie restriction as a regime to regulate organismal life span has been known to be effective across a wide range of model organism including humans. Insulin and Insulin like growth factor (IGF) mediated signaling is ...

The vital role of RNA in present day cells and its ability to act as both informational and catalytic entity supports the “RNA World” hypothesis. As chemical polymerization of ribonucleotides is an uphill process, various ...

We present a way of sharing a secret S into n shares such that the collusion of any k shares results in the reconstruction of secret S and no k − 1 shares can do so. This way of sharing secret was first introduced by ...

Black holes are solutions of classical Einstein gravity. They also have information about the quantum nature of the theory of gravity. Thus black holes provide a good laboratory to study some aspects of quantum gravity. ...

Optical properties of the silver and copper doped CdSe nanocrystals has been investigated. Partial cation exchange with impurity ions is done using trioctylphosphine (TOP) to facilitate the controlled doping levels. Doping ...

The proper functioning of a mature nervous system depends on the complex neuronal circuits. One of the critical phases of neuronal development is the formation of specific connections between the neurons and their target. ...

Protein-Protein Interactions are critical to life, playing crucial roles in a variety of cellular processes. Hence, prediction of protein-protein interactions would help in gaining insights into cellular processes so that ...

Dynamics on complex networks, such as traffic on roads or information packets on network of routers, display a variety of collective and emergent properties. Of practical interest are congestion and extreme events phenomena, ...
