Chemistry paved the path for making modern society livable by fulfilling the basic needs of daily life through rapid industrialization. However, the toxic waste produced by chemical industries vitiates the environment ...
Several research papers have predicted the existence of azeotropic clusters. Our motivation was to validate this prediction by simulating and observing azeotropic behaviour in vapour-liquid equilibrium. To achieve this, ...
The long-term approach to reduce the harmful environmental effects of plastic pollution, as illustrated by the marine accumulation of inert microplastics, includes the 11 development of biodegradable plastics (1,2). ...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a major gaseous signalling molecule that is responsible for redox regulation within cells, having implications for primary metabolism, antibiotic response, health, and ageing. 3-Mercaptopyruvate ...
The pyrochlore system has a general formula of A2B2O7, where A is typically a rare earth and B is a transition metal ion. It crystallizes in a face-centered cubic structure with space group Fd-3m. The structure consists ...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has infected millions of lives worldwide, causing a significant number of deaths. Despite the development of several drugs and vaccines, the emergence of new ...
The study of interacting dynamical systems has been a topic of continuing research interest in various fields of science and engineering. In a collection of interacting agents, the interaction network contains information ...
This thesis investigates the chemical and techno-economic efficacy of Organic Redox Flow Batteries (ORFBs). Research has identified the class of redox flow batteries as a promising solution for storing renewable energy ...
In neuroscience, zebra finches are used for studying bird vocalizations, which helps us draw parallels with human speech learning (Doupe & Kuhl, 2003). In this songbird species, only the male zebra finch sings as a part ...
Plants along with all other organisms play a vital role in the ecosystem. However unlike birds
or animals, they cannot move. To save themselves from their predators, plants evolved various
strategies. Various strategies ...
Malaria is one of the world's deadliest diseases, with India being a prominent hotspot for malaria. According to WHO, 77% of the cases are reported from Southeast Asia. Malaria therapy must begin with an accurate and timely ...
The evolution of tumor-immune interactions from tumor protective to tumor promoting, has been of recent interest in the field. The immune system plays a significant role in the tumor initiation, promotion/maintenance, and ...
Protein interaction networks are ubiquitous in the functioning of organisms. Inspired by the work of Leskovec et al. on changes in the resilience of such networks, we observe how quantitative characteristics of protein ...
We derive the causality and unitarity constraints on dimension 6 and dimension 8 Gluon field strength operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We use the ‘amplitude analysis’ i.e. dispersion relation ...
Over the last few decades, E. coli cells have been increasingly used in industrial biotechnology to produce products of high economic value. This includes enzymes, therapeutics, and dietary supplements. However, currently ...
How did biological organisms become so complex? The ‘major transitions in evolution’ offer a conceptual framework to understand the emergence of different scales of organisation in biology. In this view, the evolution of ...
In this thesis, I study an inverse boundary value problem in two dimensions for a polyharmonic operator of the form
\begin{equation*}
\mathcal{L} = \partial^{m}\bar{\partial}^{m} + \sum_{j,k = 0}^{m-1}{A_{j,k}\parti ...
One of the most traditional C-H activation reaction, Fujiwara-Moritani reaction requires stoichiometric metal oxidant. Electro-organic chemistry provides a greener alternative, where electron is used as the redox equivalent. ...
This thesis presents a framework for understanding moral responsibility in the context of climate change. After reviewing existing literature on responsibility, the author argues for a forward-looking approach that takes ...
A thermoelectric (TE) device converts heat energy into electrical energy and can be used to tap
the waste heat and turn it into clean and useful electrical energy that can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels whose ...
