The cultural transmission of birdsongs has been proven to be of significant importance. Several studies have found male birds interacting with neighbouring birds in the adjacent territories for purposes such as territorial ...
The hydrogen bond plays a crucial role in various biomolecules, supramolecules, and materials. Despite having weak strength, it shows excellent applications and explanations of many structures. Even after 100 years of its ...
Chromatin is a highly dynamic DNA-protein complex that contributes to various essential processes in eukaryotes, including packaging of genomes. The fundamental unit of chromatin, the nucleosome core particle, comprises ...
Fire incidences have recently increased due to climate change and other human-induced factors. Due to incidents such as stubble burning in Punjab-Haryana, forest fires in various parts of India, like the north-east and ...
Brain plasticity is the phenomenon by which the neural circuits rewire due to the impact of various environmental cues and stimuli, which helps in adapting to the environment. From dendritic spine modulations to the birth ...
Short tandem repeats (STR) or simple sequence repeats (SSR), or microsatellites are 1-6 nucleotide or sometimes 1-10 nucleotide long repetitive motifs of DNA. These regions of DNA are known to be prone to de novo mutations, ...
Thioureas/Thiosemicarbazones are small molecules studied extensively in drug design due to their wide range of biological activities. Selenium is shown to be involved in various metabolic processes in the human body, and ...
The following thesis attempts to study the effects of inhomogeneity in matter distribution on the average expansion of the universe. The toy models in literature are modified in the direction of generality by inducing a ...
The aim of this project is to probe the characteristic magnetic properties of elemental
gadolinium using the technique of AC magnetic susceptibility. To this end, a home made
AC susceptometer was used to probe a ...
We discuss several aspects of Bianchi groups, particularly from a computational point of
view, in an attempt to gain acumen around the Bergeron-Venkatesh conjecture. To get there,
we come across a variety of concepts and ...
Homological algebra is the study of homology in an algebraic setting. In this project we
explore various standard tools of homological algebra such as Ext groups, Tor groups, Long exact sequence of cohomology etc, and the ...
The structural microheterogeneity of heparan sulfate (HS) is intrinsically governed by repeating disaccharide units, sulfation patterns, uronic acid composition and conformation plasticity of L-Iduronic acid. These factors ...
Predicting the various oceanic parameters responsible for air-sea coupling is crucial to understanding how the climate and weather systems can affect the ecosphere. One of the most important among these oceanic parameters ...
Navigating the world requires an animal to make choices in a dynamic and uncertain world. Therefore, animals can benefit by adapting their behavior to past experiences, but the exact nature of the computations performed ...
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have been widely used due to their unique properties, such as their biocompatibility, photovoltaic, piezo-, pyro- and ferroelectric properties. Their numerous utilizations ...
In a natural setting, sensory awareness aids the animal in evaluating its surroundings
and making appropriate judgments. The results of these choices have an impact on
the animal's habitat survival and fitness. Rodents ...
The chemistry of N-heterocyclic silylenes (NHSis) [a higher analogue of NHC], is one of the hottest research topics in current low-valent organometallic chemistry. In this work, a hybrid N-heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) and ...
In this thesis, the pseudocapacitive performance of MXene in different aqueous and acidic electrolytes was investigated. was found to have the highest capacitance, even greater than , with and . The two pairs of pseudocapacitive ...
There has been a rise of right wing authoritarianism in general in the global context. It can be seen in various forms, in terms of increasing majoritarianism, increasing attacks on minorities,
communalisation of vast ...
Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is an advanced and emerging seismic imaging technique that exploits the full wavefield information present in the data. FWI is an optimization problem where the misfit between the recorded and ...
