Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is the reversible demixing of a homogenous solution into a dilute phase and a dense phase composed of droplets. These droplets have become increasingly important in understanding ...

The protein MreB is a bacterial actin homolog found in most non-spherical bacteria. It is known to function in cell shape determination and maintenance. MreB coordinates the peptidoglycan biosynthesis machinery to break ...

Myxococcus xanthus is a social bacterium. It has a complex life cycle, and motility plays a vital role in predation and fruiting body formation. It shows two types of motilities, Social and Adventurous. It is known that ...

Polymer nanocomposites are an important class of materials that exhibit distinct physicochemical properties that are inaccessible with individual components acting alone. These nanocomposites have recently attracted intensive ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
