Theses submitted to IISER Pune in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the BS-MS dual degree and Ph.D programmes. Also, project reports submitted by the students.
Marine biodiversity changes through time and space. Identifying the drivers of such change is becoming especially important in the context of recent anthropogenic biodiversity loss. Shallow marine molluscan assemblages ...
Two-dimensional materials are a sought-after class in the domain of material science, owing to its applications in a plethora of fields. A recent addition to this family is called MXene, a class of transition metal carbides ...
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a cutting-edge method for monitoring blood glucose levels at predetermined intervals. Type 2 diabetes is a long-term chronic lifestyle disease brought on by high blood sugar levels. ...
Carbohydrates are one of the four significant biomolecules present in nature that acts primarily as a major source of energy for living organisms. Apart from this, carbohydrate molecules enormously impact many biological ...
SUMOylation is a post translational modification that involves formation of a covalent bond between lysine residues in substrate proteins and SUMO. SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-related MOdifier) is a protein that belongs to ...
For future generation optical components such as couplers, antennas and waveguides, we need nanoscale control and confinement of the electromagnetic fields. Over the years, metallic nanostructures have been studied intensely ...
Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are porous crystalline polymers formed by organic linkers connected through covalent bonds. They have numerous advantages such as high porosity, controllable pore size, thermal stability, ...
Abstract: Heparan sulfate (HS) is a complex polysaccharide that is ubiquitous on all mammalian cell surfaces and extracellular matrices. The complexity of HS is encoded by broad sulfation patterns and uronic acid compositions. ...
FtsZ, a tubulin homolog, marks the site of division and forms ring-like structure, the Z-ring, in bacteria. The Z-ring gets tethered to the membrane via FtsA, an actin homolog. Unlike the dynamic instability seen in tubulin, ...
Carbohydrates are the most abundant biopolymers on the earth and part of every living organism. Unlike nucleic acids and peptides, carbohydrates are more complex and diverse in their structure is one of the main reasons ...
Along with energy and linear momentum, angular momentum represents the most fundamental properties of light. These effect of these properties in various light-matter interactions become much more prominent upon focusing ...
Heparin (H) and Heparan sulfates (HS) are the heterogeneous, polyanionic molecules of glycosaminoglycan known to interact with biologically important proteins and play significant role in many physiological processes. The ...
This thesis focused on experimental investigations of 1D photonic crystal hybridized with thermochromic material-based smart windows architectures. Vanadium dioxide and tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide were incorporated ...
The construction of heterocyclic scaffolds through a carbon-heteroatom bond (C–N, C–O, C–S)
forming reactions have gained significant attention in organic synthesis over the years. The
construction of carbon-heteroatom ...
A species’ distribution or range is the expanse of geographical space where it is commonly encountered. The environment-abundance paradigm (EAP) links the abundance of species to the environment through traits and fitness ...
This thesis concerns with experimental investigations of inter-atomic/molecular decays in nanometer-sized van der Waals clusters of helium (He), or in He nanodroplets, doped with a few foreign atoms and molecules. Acetylene ...
Electrochromism is an electrochemical phenomenon where the optical properties of the
materials change reversibly and persistently with the externally applied voltages. It has
received increasing attention due to its ...
In this thesis, we study the theory of parametrized complexity and examine parameterized
complexity of the Hiding Leader problem. We discuss standard tools and techniques
for showing the fixed-parameter tractability of ...
Neurons being modeled into conductance-based models is extant in the literature since
Hodgkin and Huxley. These models often show a rich variety of behaviors as nonlinear dy-
namical systems. The Hodgkin-Huxley model, ...
Throughout history, humans have formed communities, guilds, faiths etc in the hope of coming together with a group of people having similar requirements, visions and goals. Their reasons to do so, usually rest on the fact ...
