Sigma acceptor type ligands are useful in transition metal catalysed Lewis acid catalysis.
Placing of such type of ligands around the transition metal may increase the Lewis acidity of
transition metals and interesting ...
C4-bound N-heterocyclic carbene (NHCs) referred to as ‘abnormal’ carbenes grabs considerable
attention among the researchers as the zwitterionic form of C-4 bound carbenes are stronger
sigma donor than classical C-2 bound ...
In this thesis, we discuss the non-intersecting loops formed by super-posing two random dimer configurations and how these are similar to contour lines of random gaussian surfaces. We specifically use a fully packed dimer ...
The magnetic quasi-particles called Skyrmions, discovered in the year 2009, are known to
have many unique and intriguing properties that are predicted to be very useful in the field
of spintronics. However, in order to ...
In this thesis, we discuss the non-intersecting loops formed by super-posing two random dimer configurations and how these are similar to contour lines of random gaussian surfaces. We specifically use a fully packed dimer ...
Axons are long tubular structures of neurons that span in centimetres in brain and respond to physical stimuli through physiological changes. The ability of axons to withstand deformations and maintain their unusual shape ...
Antiferromagnetic spintronics is increasingly in vogue owing to advantages like the
relative insensitivity of these systems to external magnetic fields, and the ultrafast nature
of their spin dynamics which can have a ...
In 1960's, W. G. Leavitt introduced a type of non-commutative algebras that are now called Leavitt Algebras. In 2005, Gene Abrams and Gonzalo Aranda Pino introduced Leavitt path algebras as a generalization of Leavitt ...
The male zebra finch’s courtship song, consisting of introductory notes and motifs, is
widely studied by neuroethologists. While many properties of motifs have been
discovered, little is known about the introductory notes ...
Tunneling phenomenon not only can control but can also drive chemical reactions in directions unexpected from traditional theories. Tunneling picks up a reaction path that results in temperature-independent rate constants ...
Studying the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is one of the most significant ways to gain insight into the physics of the early Universe. Having an accurate knowledge of the early Universe is crucial to our understanding ...
Azeotropes have been always remained the topic of interest due to the challenges they pose
in their separation. Although experimental studies have been done with the infrared spec-
troscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, mass ...
Phenology, the study of timings of life-history events in plants is important for individual
fitness, community dynamics, and ecosystem functioning. Given the current context of
climate change, understanding general ...
Vegetation and Climate have a complex relationship and either one acts as a control to the other. Vegetation model simulations can be employed to investigate this relationship and to check the vegetation responses to a set ...
As the frequency of heatwaves and their severity are increasing, understanding the upper thermal limits and thermal safety margins of different biomes has become important. This has been previously studied by various groups ...
The Inverse Galois Problem asks whether every finite group occurs as the Galois group of some field extension of the rational numbers, Q. This is still an unsolved problem. This project explores various methods to try to ...
The proper progression of cell cycle, in all cell types, majorly relies on precise maintenance
of the abundance, and activity, of key regulatory proteins. For example, in the bacterial
model, Caulobacter crescentus, cell ...
N4-macrocyclic molecules such as metal phthalocyanines and metal porphyrins (MN4 electrocatalysts) have been vastly investigated as viable non-precious molecular electrocatalysts for a wide range of electrochemical ...
In this thesis, the characteristic features of strong and weak phases of Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) for the year 2020 is explored based on Radar observations and Reanalysis data at the Gateway of ISM. During the peak ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with zigzag edges have been
investigated in recent years because of their fascinating optoelectronic properties;
however, the number of the reported PAHs with zigzag edges in the ...
