Caulobacter cresentus, a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the class alphaproteobacteria, is found mostly in oligotrophic aquatic environments. It has a distinct cell cycle pattern that is also coupled to a developmental ...
Recently, Water pollution and environmental pollution due to excessive iodine contamination received widespread attention in terms of human health and environmental protection. Iodine sequestering is highly critical, both ...
In this thesis, we study the possibility of nudging interacting individuals on a network, using strategic information disclosure, to make pro-social decisions during epidemics. By posing our problem in the framework of ...
In the dimorphic bacterial model, Caulobacter crescentus stalked and flagellated
pole-specific localisation and activation of proteins leads to cell-fate determination and
asymmetry during the cell cycle. For example, ...
There are many problems in physics that are not well understood due to the complexity of the
underlying theory. For example, many-particle physics is difficult to study through theoretical analysis or the inefficiency of ...
Quantum computers are expected to revolutionise computing. An essential step towards that is to implement high fidelity quantum gates. In the thesis, we try to build an universal SU(2) gate set consisting of Z gate, X(π/2) ...
At the current time, policies are widely guided using accurate and reasonable indicators of progress in their respective field, thus indicators related to environmental resources are also the need of the hour. It is clearly ...
The nasal microbiome and its dynamics appear to play a role in the progression of respiratory illnesses. Understanding these changes would contribute to the mechanistic deconvolution of vaccine-related pathways, open up ...
For any country, understanding and interpreting precipitation dynamics is of great importance. In India, rainfall patterns profoundly influence daily livelihoods and economic development. Thus, it is essential to get ...
Multiferroics are materials in which magnetism and ferroelectricity coexist. They are of fundamental interest to understand how magnetic ordering can affect electric dipolar
ordering and vice-versa. Moreover, they are of ...
Determination of the mass distribution of various astrophysical objects is of utmost importance in multiple studies in astrophysics and cosmology. Strong gravitational lensing is a valuable tool in the estimation of mass ...
This study estimates the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) of India and the MPI of 6
Zonal councils of India using the data set India Human Development Survey(IHDS-2),
spanning all states and union territories of ...
Etale cohomology was introduced by A. Grothendieck and developed by him with the help of M. Artin and J. L. Verdier, to explain A. Weil's insight that for polynomial equations with integer coefficients, the topology of the ...
A home-built AC susceptometer is designed and fabricated for the measurement of phase resolved linear and nonlinear AC susceptibilities. The set up is designed for measurements in the temperature ranging from 77K to 300K, ...
Microbial infection is an all-time threat to global public health which includes the ever-increasing infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. The scientific community have been developing various ...
Glycosaminoglycans are negatively-charged polysaccharide compounds, composed of repeating disaccharide units and found in a majority of metazoan and mammalian tissues. The molecular structure of the GAGs and the pattern ...
India is no stranger to violence against women. For decades since independence, ruthless crimes against women, especially rapes, have coalesced into protests that have paved the way for groundbreaking legislation and changes ...
Cohesins are ring-shaped protein complexes critical for keeping sister-chromatids
together, which are conserved from simple to complex organisms. They are also
important for chromosomal segregation, meiotic recombination ...
Type IV Restriction Endonucleases are modification-based restriction enzymes which are typically methylation dependent. The Type IV restriction enzymes SauUSI and McrBC are ATP and GTP dependent respectively and specifically ...
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cellular interaction mechanism in bacteria that regulates gene
expression. The search and binding of the AHL-bound LuxR-type proteins to specific sites on DNA in QS cells of Gram-negative bacteria ...
