Salmonella enterica is a common foodborne pathogen with diverse serovars exhibiting different host specificities and disease manifestations. The molecular mechanisms of Salmonella pathogenesis have been extensively studied ...
One of the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics is that observables are self-adjoint or Hermitian operators in a complex Hilbert space. What started as a mathematical curiosity in the late 90s, theoretical investigations ...
This study investigates the nuances of the effects of free-stream turbulence (FST) on bluff bodies using a method that blends computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and synthetic turbulence generation techniques. ...
Cellular differentiation into various tissues is a critical developmental feature of multi- cellular organisms. One of the key gene regulatory processes that play a vital role in tissue differentiation is RNA splicing. ...
In this thesis, we estimate the average ground state energy of spin glass models. Despite decades of study, there have been no exact explicit calculations for a mean field model of spin glass with finite ranged interactions. ...
In this thesis, we aim to study the Polya -Szego conjecture, which states that the regular polygon with n sides and fixed area minimizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue among the family of simple polygons with $n$ sides in ...
Tellurene, a single layer of tellurium atoms arranged in a zig-zag chain structure, is a recent addition to the family of 2D materials. It has a trigonal crystal lattice with inherent structural anisotropy. Tellurene has ...
Integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesion is known to regulate cell growth and survival, which is deregulated in transformed cancer cells that acquire the ability to grow without adhesion, becoming anchorage-independent. ...
Plants have a remarkable capacity for wound-healing and regeneration, which can be investigated easily in Arabidopsis thaliana. Regenerative responses in Arabidopsis are broadly categorized as tissue culture-induced, or ...
Plant response to herbivory has been extensively studied using folivore as a model system. Plants exhibit various defense strategies in response to folivore attacks to protect and prevent themselves from further attacks. ...
This study investigates the morphological classifications of galaxies in the early universe by employing the capabilities of Morpheus, a deep learning framework, in conjunction with the UNCOVER and CANDELS datasets from ...
This dissertation investigates the application of Quantum Annealing (QA) to the detection of optimal arbitrage opportunities, comparing its e cacy against classical approaches such as Simulated Annealing (SA). Arbitrage, ...
Unraveling the origin of unconventional superconductivity in cuprates has remained a long-standing enigma in the field of highly correlated systems since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986. The normal ...
Photocatalysis with plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) is emerging as an attractive strategy to make and break chemical bonds in a sustainable fashion. However, the fast relaxation dynamics of the photoexcited charge carriers ...
The circadian cycle is an approximately 24-hour cycle of physiological and biochemical processes in organisms. At a cellular level, the circadian clock comprises core clock genes showing oscillatory expression with a period ...
Bacteriophages have emerged as promising biological tools not only for combating infectious bacteria but also for facilitating the exploration of intra- and inter-protein interactions. However, conventional methods for ...
The world is witnessing an unprecedented level of pollutants in the oceans today. With this rise in pollution, there is an increase in concentrations of contaminants such as heavy metals and micro- plastics, which pose a ...
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a way of dosage compensation that occurs in female eutherian mammals. There are two modes of XCI: Imprinted XCI where the paternal X is silenced predominantly, and random XCI where one ...
Nanotubes are a novel class of materials that show unique properties due to their one-dimensional backbone. Hydrogen-bonded organic nanotubes (HONTs) are among the most promising supramolecular nanotubes because of their ...
In this project I have tried to characterize representative soil types of India based on their cation exchange capacity in relation to other physical and chemical parameters. The samples for the measurement are collected ...
