In general, anti-aromaticity has not gained significant attention mainly due to the lack of stable 4nπ systems. In this regard, a stable isophlorin and its expanded derivatives provide a hope to glance into the world of ...

Conformal field theory is a formalism encountered in many branches of physics, such as String Theory and condensed matter physics. Given the wide range of its applicability it has become a subject of extensive study and ...

Inverse modelling is an ill-posed problem, and the regularisation technique is used to solve the inverse problem by biasing the solution with prior information. In the absence of prior information about the model, a ...

We designed a novel and straightforward route for constructing 4-hydroxypyrazole frameworks via a Lewis acid mediated [3+2] cycloaddition of aryl diazoketones. Pyrazoles are very useful heterocycles and the pyrazole framework ...

The aim of the project was to study an organic reaction using ab-initio quantum chemical tools and apply the general ideas of physical chemistry to it. Selenium dioxide mediated allylic hydroxylation is a known reaction ...

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 ...

Action-at-a-distance is an alternative approach to eld theory in describing all the interactions. It is based on direct interactions between particles rather than through their coupling to a eld having in nite degrees ...

In this thesis we outline the formulation, implementation and validation of Adaptive Particle Resolution (APR) in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Traditionally, SPH systems are modelled with unifrom mass distribution, ...

Anchorage independent growth of cancer cells is a key component of cancer invasion and metastasis. Cancer metastasis is a major cause of mortality, making the understanding of the basis for anchorage dependence and how it ...

Cancer cells are unique in overcoming the requirement for cell-matrix adhesion (anchorage dependence) to grow, proliferate and metastasize. Among the cellular pathways regulated by adhesion include its ability to control ...
