Reversible redox species play central role as electron acceptors in state-of-theart flow batteries and fuel cells. At electrochemical interfaces, since the physical processes of mass transport occurs independently and in ...
In this study we have been trying to understand various aspects of Contact Geometry in
a contact-3 manifold setting. We began by looking at the di↵erential topology aspects of
contact manifolds and their relation to more ...
In the present thesis, we revisit one of the traditional and benchmark reactions in the area of nanoparticle catalysis, namely the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) catalyzed reduction of para-nitrophenol (PNP) to para-aminophenol ...
The cell surface glycans serve as recognition elements for many biological events, ranging from cell-cell to cell-pathogen interaction, immune cells activation to organ development. Hence, cell surface engineering is a ...
Researches are being done constantly in Lithium-ion battery to improve its properties like the capacity, stability and rate. Electrolytes are being studied over the years to enhance the properties of batteries. Solid-state ...
An environmentally benign, sequential one-pot alkylation and intramolecular cyclization of salicyl alcohols and diketo compounds using Ru-catalyst has been developed via “Borrowing Hydrogen Catalysis” (BHC). The present ...
Seismic reflection data is useful for unravelling the subsurface fluid migration patterns and can help to understand the plumbing system. The study presents the seismic stratigraphic framework and fluid migration features ...
Active matter is systems whose individual units continuously extract energy from the environment to produce some mechanical output. Examples range from bacterial propulsion,
Janus particles to flocks of birds. Non-equilibrium ...
Our olfactory senses are challenged to smell different odorants which vary in their physical and chemical characteristics. The odorants are often transported in turbulent plumes and depending on the source of origin, may ...
The competency of an organism to sense the stressful conditions and appropriately respond to them determines its survivability. Insulin/IGF-1 signaling is one of the most studied pathways that sense different stress ...
The concept of Molecular Optomechanics was recently proposed, motivated by the fact
that molecular vibrations behave as mechanical oscillators in their quantum ground state at
room temperature, and that they can be coupled ...
In this thesis we study some aspects of causal set theory. In Chapter 1 we briefly motivate
this theory, outline some important results and describe some of the work that has been in
done this field so far. In Chapter 2 ...
The Makran-Chagai volcanic arc transcends the Pakistan-Iran border and contains numerous strato-volcanoes prominent being the Kuh-e-Sultan, Kuh-e-Taftan, Kuh-i-Bazman and the Shahsavaran volcanic fields. Volcanism in this ...
In this thesis we study three interesting ideas in Particle Physics and Cosmology:
de-Sitter conjectures, some aspects of Inflation and Axions as Dark
matter. The de-Sitter conjectures are statements about consistency ...
Inhibition has been shown to play an important role in determining the critical period
of development of sensory systems but its role in motor system is unknown. Here, I
study the zebra finch, a bird that develops a motor ...
We have synthesized Yb3+ doped 2D (C8H9NH3)2PbBr4 nanoplatelets which shows new optical functionality which is emission in the NIR region (998 nm). Further study in this direction may lead to applications in NIR LEDs and ...
Communication is vital for survival in the animal kingdom. Communication through vocal learning is an ability possessed by very few taxa. Zebra finch serves as a good model system to study evolution of vocal learning. Akin ...
Since the fossil fuels are limited, and are fast depleting, there is an urgent need to search
for alternative energy sources that are, both, clean and economically viable. Thermoelectric
(TE) devices can play a crucial ...
Behaviour can be altered by the presence of kin, and this is seen in multiple
organisms. This phenomenon is comparatively less studied in organisms that do not
show group-living behaviour, like Drosophila melanogaster. ...
This thesis presents the calibration and performance study of CMS High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) based on the data collected during the beam tests conducted in 2018. The muon run data was used to calibrate the silicon ...
