In this study the distribution of ants across different habitats in the Bangalore Urban area with special reference to invasive ants was observed. 24 sites which cover a wide variety of habitats were sampled. 61 species ...
The main idea/ take-message from reading the thesis is to understand the change of variables formula for C1 diffeomorphisms among spaces of the same dimension. Along with this and the usage of Steiner’s symmetrization and ...
Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most prevalent cancer worldwide, affecting mostly
the developing countries. However, early diagnosis can help facilitate the clinical
management of the patient. The problem lies in the ...
Both IR and NMR spectra of molecules are one of the most accurately measured quantities. The sensitivity of these two spectroscopic observables to the environment is investigated in the present study. Our quantum chemical ...
Serine hydrolases are one of the largest family of enzymes known to play a major role in many of the patho-physiological processes. ABHD12, a major brain lyso-PS lipase, belongs to the same family of proteins, are seen to ...
Circuit electromechanics and Josephson junction based superconducting qubits are two experimental fields that have generated vast attention in the past decade. This thesis aims at solving some experimental challanges in ...
Cancer developing to metastatic progression is one of the causes of lethality. In biomedical research, small molecules that modulate cell migration have great potential as anti-cancer agents and may be of direct therapeutic ...
In the recent years, the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have evolved exponentially in terms of its efficiency since 2009 and since then there has been an enormous research in this field to pull up the efficiency. These ...
In ancient Indian astronomy, many different and unique methods were created to study and
understand the position of the planetary bodies in the solar system. One of the initial works
regarding this was carried out by the ...
Integral nucleolar proteins such as Nucleolin and Fibrillarin play major roles in
regulating nuclear as well as nucleolar structure and function. Nucleolin interacts
with other nucleolar components such as Fibrillarin ...
Facilitative relationships and non-trophic interactions are important contributors to determining the ecological niche of an organism. One such non-trophic interaction occurs in mixed-species bird flocks (flocks, hereafter). ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Emergence from the pupal case in holometabolous insects (eclosion) is under the regulation of the circadian clock such that maximum emergence occurs at dawn just after lights ON. Results from the lab have shown that evolution ...
This thesis presents a study of the quasilocal stress tensor proposed by Brown and York in
1993 from the perspective of the AdS/CFT correspondence which was carried out by Kraus
and Balasubramanian in 1999. The thesis ...
Near-field microscopy was invented to overcome the diffraction limit of the conventional
optical microscopy. With the advent in nanostructures functional at optical wavelengths,
such a device has become inevitable for ...
Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFTs) are used to describe many physical systems including, but not limited to, the Fractional Quantum Hall effect. In that effect, classifying RCFTs is an interesting and tractable ...
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 ...
