We demonstrate the proof of concept of an air chargeable and reversible H+-ion battery by exploiting the catalytic nature of Pt@C electrocatalyst in ionizing H2 and O2 molecules and the proton coupled and reversible redox ...
Revealing and targeting novel cryptic pockets in a protein has become a major challenge in the field of drug design. Static experimental protein structures represent ensemble averaged lacking the dynamics of the real ...
Cell penetrating peptides have attracted much attention as a potential chemotherapeutics in recent years. However, there is a clear need to develop strategies to overcome the lack of target specificity. Magnetic nanoparticles ...
Transition metal oxides have been extensively studied for last few years for its vast
potentials in energy storage and conversion applications due to its remarkable
electrochemical properties, low cost and environmental ...
Understanding how the structure of neural circuits mediates its function is an area
of key interest in neuroscience, particularly in instances where circuits that are
trying to accomplish the same over-arching goal, make ...
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are one of the most fascinating discoveries in 20th
century which exhibits superior properties in mechanical , electrical, optical and
thermal properties. CNT can be either semiconducting or metallic, ...
This thesis is in two parts: First part relates to tuning of the granular magneto-resistance
(MR), which naturally occurs in systems consisting of ferromagnetic (FM) metallic grain
and antiferromagnetic (AFM)/ insulating ...
Organisms have a codon bias i.e. they use certain codons more frequently than others
that code for the same amino acid. Studies have shown that changing the codon bias
of a gene can have a negative impact on fitness due ...
In his 1956 paper, Selberg proved the famous Trace Formula for a semisimple Lie group
G and its discrete subgroup . The case when G = SL2(R) is quite well-known. In this
thesis, we look at the decomposition of L2(nG) ...
In this thesis, I study the e ect of con nement on the core structure of vortex state in
dilute Bose gases. Densely packed vortex lattice presents a possibility of observing many
exotic phenomena like quantum melting and ...
Short Sequence Repeats (SSR) are a means of achieving phase variation, i.e.
turning on/off of genes, in bacteria. Phase variation is known to be important for
survival of host-adapted pathogen. However, the effect of SSR ...
There has been extensive literature available in the theory and practice of option valuation
following the pioneering work by Black and Scholes (1973). Contrary to subsequent empirical
evidence from the dynamics of ...
Type ISP restriction-modification (RM) enzymes are bacterial defense systems that nucleolytically cleave foreign DNA entering a bacterial cell (restriction) and protect the host DNA from being restricted by methylating the ...
Lasalocid A is a broad spectrum veterinary antibiotic given to cattle. However, it exhibits cross species toxicity and thus there is a need to develop lasalocid A analogs without cross species toxic effects. Lasalocid A ...
The urge for a renewable energy source to take over the conventional fossil energy sources
has always been a necessity. Thus a lot of work and effort has been spend on the photovoltaic
cell research which focuses on ...
Nanotechnology and nanoscience are a fast evolving field which deals with the properties of the material at the nanoscale level. Harnessing these properties in the form of applications which can aid mankind is nanotechnology. ...
We studied the properties of gold and CdTe/CdSe nanostructures using different characterization techniques. Coupling of plasmons in metal nanoparticles with exciton in semiconductor nanoparticles shows fascinating optical ...
The interactions of 0D and 1D nanostructures with a 2D plasmonic film have seldom been
studied in literature. The cavity or the "hot-spot" that forms between the nanostructure and
the film are interesting structures, as ...
Plasmonic nanostructures give major insights into the interaction between light and matter
at nanoscale. Also, they have potential practical applications in various elds such as in
biosensing(sensing of di erent types ...
We show that a Mott transition is possible in our model with a dimer placed
on each site of a Lieb lattice. To illustrate this, we map the lattice problem to
an impurity problem. Then we solve the impurity problem to ...
