There exists a huge diversity in seed traits among the plant species. Ecological consequences of such variations are manifold and often vary between floras, habitats and taxonomic groups. Very few ecological studies concerned ...

Various phoshoramide and thiophosphoramide ligands containing hard and soft donor functionalities were synthesized and their reactivity studies were carried out with various transition metal ions. Using tris(alkylamido) ...

Detection of biomolecules at very low concentrations is extremely important for early detection of life threatening diseases such as cancer. Standard ELISA assays using the antibody conjugated enzyme horse radish peroxidase ...

Fluorescent nucleoside analogue probes incorporated into oligonucleotides have provided effective biophysical systems to study nucleic acid structure and function and in devising nucleic acid-based diagnostic tools. However, ...

I report the cost effective use of metal oxides/sulphides for enhanced aqueous based supercapacitor application. The supercapacitive property of the metal oxides and sulfides are generally depends on the conductivity and ...

In chapter 1 of the thesis, a thiophene containing triphyrin called [14] Thiatriphyrin(2.1.1) was synthesized by McMurry coupling of diformylthiatripyrrane followed by oxidation with p-chloranil. This was characterized by ...

Mosquito repellent plays a significant role in reducing bites and thereby extenuating transmission of mosquitoe-borne disease. The purpose of this thesis is also same i.e. to synthesize some mosquito repellents and also ...

In the present thesis work, a single-step surfactant-free gram scale hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles and the Ni(OH)2-reduced graphene oxide (Ni(OH)2-r-GO) nanocomposite. Interesting morphological ...

The defl ection of a cantilever bearing a sharp tip upon interaction with surface needs to be measured accurately in Atomic Force Microscopy. In order to enhance force sensitivity weak cantilevers (0.05 to 0.01 N/m) are ...
