Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders in elderly, characterized by loss of higher cognitive functions. The major hallmarks of AD seen in late stages are gross neurodegeneration, ...

There are an increasing number of studies that are investigating how intrinsic (i.e. resting-state) functional connectivity correlates with cognitive abilities. However, our current understanding about the neural basis of ...

This project is about building a near-field optical microscope which can simultaneously measure evanescent fields as well as lateral shear forces. Possibility of quantify the lateral shear forces through a special q-plus ...

Chemical communication has a vital role in social insects. Chemicals like cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are involved in eliciting behaviors such as nestmate and mate recognition. For CHCs to act as mate recognition chemicals, ...

Habitat use studies help to understand the biological requirements of an organism. The pattern of habitat use is governed by various resources and parameters. The study looked at habitat use by the mammalian herbivore, ...

One of the great challenges for researchers is to overcome the late blight disease of potato caused by the oomycete pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. Recent studies suggest involvement of several microRNAs during plant-pathogen ...

Entanglement entropy has emerged as an important quantity in quantum field theory. In this report, we present some aspects of entanglement entropy in the context of string theory. We assume the AdS/CFT Correspondence. ...

We outline an approach which is purely based on symmetry considerations, for the construction of interaction vertices involving arbitrary spin fields. We review existing literature in which this approach is used to construct ...
