Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials on surfaces are often dictated by nature of the surface on which crystallization takes place. Study of the effect of trace impurities on their phase or morphology variations ...

The standard method for calculating the resultant field in a multiple-slit interference experiment, based on solutions for the cases that all but one slit is blocked, yields an incorrect answer. This error leads to incorrect ...

In this thesis we give an exposition of various known techniques of constructing p- adic L-functions in different cases. The key idea behind this is constructing a non- archimedean measure and then performing a p-adic ...

We have studied various aspects of development as well as applications of Optical traps. Design considerations of single beam optical traps and holographic optical traps using computer-controlled spatial light modulators(SLM) ...

Structural changes of the DNA macro-molecule under high external hydrostatic pressure (2000 bar) have been studied using quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. Such studies give insight into the ...

In this project I have set up a framework under which several apparently disparate concepts in evolutionary biology can be analysed in a unified manner. Based on this, I implemented a software model to simulate the effects ...

Action-at-a-distance is an alternative approach to eld theory in describing all the interactions. It is based on direct interactions between particles rather than through their coupling to a eld having in nite degrees ...

In Drosophila melanogaster, there are 16 genes listed in the MADF-BESS domain family. Three out of these sixteen genes -- hinge1 (CG9437), hinge2 (CG13897) and hinge3 (CG8359) -- have been shown to give a bent wing phenotype ...

Algebraic algorithms are important since they provide elegant and easy solutions to many problems. Even though most fast algorithms for graph problems exploit graphs structure or combinatorial properties, in some situations ...
